VAN DER VAART secretory Subject: Approved Plan Revision Seaspray Cove at Carolina Place (formerly Carolina Place) Stormwater Permit No. SW8 040129 Brunswick County Dear Mr. Clark: TRACY DAVIS Director Effective August 1, 2013, the State Stormwater program was transferred from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR). All previous references to DWQ will remain in older stormwater permits issued prior to August 1, 2013 until they are modified. Please note that this letter OR permit references DEMLR as the Division responsible for issuance of the permit. On September 8, 2016, the Wilmington Regional Office received a complete request to revise the approved plans for Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8 040129. The revisions include the following: 1. Changing design elevation data on infiltration basins IA, 1B, 2A, and 2B to reflect existing conditions. Note that only Basin I requires work to be done to raise the bottom elevation, therefore a new engineer's certification will be required for this basin. Other basin data reflects the as -built conditions. 2. Revised Infiltration Basin Supplements accordingly. 3. Revised plan to better emphasize that this permit is for Phase 1 only. It has been determined that a formal permit modification is not required for the proposed changes. We are forwarding you an approved copy of the revised plans for your files. Please replace the old approved plan sheet(s) with the new one(s). In addition, since some of the design information is changing, so we are forwarding you a revised, updated permit. Please replace the previously issued permit with the revised permit, dated November 7, 2016, attached. Please be aware that all terms and conditions of this revised, updated permit shall remain in full force and effect. Please also understand that the approval of this revision to the approved plans or to the permit for the subject State Stormwater project is done on a case -by -case basis. Any other changes to this project must be approved through this Office prior to construction. The issuance of this plan revision does not preclude the permittee from complying with all other applicable statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances which may have jurisdiction over the proposed activity, and obtaining a permit or approval prior to construction. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 796-7215. Sincerely, Steve G.

Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when. depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such,that it will give an accurate depth reading and not a readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. When the design depth reads 1, 5 feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall'be removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin. 5.

INFILTRATION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT 1. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the infiltration system for erosion, trash accumulation, vegetative cover, and general condition. 2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow vegetated cover to maintain a maximum height. of six inches, and remove trash as needed. 3. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved design specifications. 4. Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin amivally or when depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. When the design depth reads �,�_ feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall" be removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin. 5. If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed.

Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow vegetated cover to maintain a maximum heinht.of six inches, and remove trash as needed. 3. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved design specifications. 4. Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. When the design depth reads -Z.2s feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall'be removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin. 5. If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed. I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the five maintenance procedures listed above.

Section 3. Annexation of Additional Property . At any time prior to December 31, 2025, additional land within the property described in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the 'Exhibit B Property") may be annexed by the Declarant without the consent of the Members and therefore become subject to this Declaration by the recording by Declarant of a plat showing such property to be annexed and of a supplementary declaration extending the operation and effect of this Declaration to the property to be annexed. Furthermore, at any time Declarant owns any Lot within the Properties, additional land not within the Exhibit B Property may be annexed by the Declarant without the consent of the Members and therefore become subject to this Declaration by the recording by Declarant of a plat showing such property to be annexed and of a supplementary declaration extending the operation and effect of this Declaration to the property to be annexed. Any property annexed must be contiguous to property already subject to this Declaration. Any property annexed pursuant to this subsection may be annexed and subjected to this Declaration as one parcel or as several parcels at different times. The addition of such property pursuant to this Section may increase the cumulative number of Lots within the Properties and, therefore, may alter the relative maximum voting strength of the various types of Members. A supplementary declaration may contain such complementary additions to and modifications of the covenants and restrictions contained in this Declaration, including, without limitation, different voting rights and different annual and special assessments for the Lots or Units so annexed, as Declarant, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect the different character or use of the property added. In no event, however, shall any supplementary declaration revoke, modify or add to the covenants and restrictions established by this Declaration so as to materially and adversely affect any portion of the Properties already subject to this Declaration. A supplementary declaration annexing additional property need only be executed by the Declarant and, if applicable, by the owner of the property being annexed, and shall not require the joinder or consent of the Association or any of its Members. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to obligate or require Declarant to make any additions to the Properties. Section 4. Conveyance of Common Area in Annexed Property. Promptly upon request of Declarant, the owner of the annexed property shall convey any or all Common Area located -3- within the newly annexed property to the Association or, if requested by the Declarant, to the Declarant. Title to such Common Area shall be conveyed in the same manner as set forth in Section 3 of Article IV of this Declaration. Section 5. M.erger. Additional property may also be made subject to this Declaration by merger or consolidation of the Association with another non-profit corporation formed for the same or similar purposes. The surviving or consolidated association shall administer the covenants and restrictions established by this Declaration within the Properties and the covenants and restrictions established upon property owned by the other association as one scheme. No such merger or consolidation shall cause any revocation, change or addition to this Declaration. Section 6. Effect of Addition of Property. Except by amendment of this Declaration as provided in Section 3 of Article XII hereof, no addition of property, whether by annexation, merger or consolidation, shall revoke or modify any provision of this Declaration as to the Properties already subject hereto or diminish the rights of the Owners of Lots and Units within the Properties, except for the dilution of voting strength that occurs as a result of inclusion of additional Members of the Association. Section 7. Withdrawal of Property. Declarant reserves the right to amend this Declaration so long as it has a right to annex Additional Property pursuant to this Article for the purpose of removing any portion of the Properties then owned by Declarant or the Association from the coverage of this Declaration, to the extent originally included in error or as a result of any changes whatsoever in the plans for the Subdivision, provided such withdrawal is not unequivocally contrary to the overall, uniform scheme of development for the Subdivision. Section 8. Good Faith Lender's Clause. Any violation of these covenants, conditions or restrictions shall not affect any lien or deed of trust of record held in good faith, upon any Lot or commercial Unit, which liens may be enforced in due course, subject to the terms of this Declaration.

Class A Lots shall be those Lots upon which single- family dwellings are built, or to be built, to be known as "Sea Spray Cove". Class A-1 Lots shall refer to the individual single-family condominium units contemplated by the Declarant, to be known as "Sea Spray Villas". All Lots in the Subdivision shall be either Class A or Class A-1 Lots except those Lots which are Class B Lots as the same are hereinafter defined. Ownership of a Class A or Class A -I Lot shall entitle the Owner of such Lot to one (1) vote. When more than one person owns an interest (other than a leasehold or security interest) in any Lot, all such persons shall be Members and the voting rights appurtenant to their Lot shall be exercised as they, among themselves, determine; but fractional voting shall not be allowed, and in no event shall more than one vote be cast with respect to any Class A or Class A-1 Lot. (b) Class B Lots. Class B Lots shall be all Lots owned by Declarant or a Builder and which have not been converted to Class A Lots as set forth below.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Board of Directors of the -5- Association, without consent of the Members, from granting easements over and across the Common Area to any public agency, authority or utility for the installation and maintenance of sewerage, utility (including cable television) or drainage facilities when, in the opinion of the Board, such easements are necessary for the convenient use and enjoyment of properties within the Subdivision. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Common Area shall be preserved for the perpetual benefit of the owners of Lots within the Subdivision and shall not be conveyed except to a governmental entity or another non-profit corporation organized for similar purposes.

(e) the right of the Association to exchange all or part of the Common Area for other property and consideration of like value and utility, provided, however, that, after Class B Lots cease to exist, any such dedication shall require the assent of the Members as set forth in subparagraph (c) above, and further provided that, if the Board of Directors of the Association determines, in its sole discretion, that such exchange is necessary to cure an encroachment or setback violation on any Lot, the Board may effect such exchange without the consent of or approval by the Members.

Section 3. Conveyance of Common Area To The Association.

Any improvements placed on the Common Area by Declarant shall become the property of the Association upon completion of such improvements. Section 4. Regulation and Maintenance of Common Area and Common Area Easements. It is the intent of the Declarant that the Common Area be preserved for the perpetual benefit of the Owners. (a) Regulation of Common Area. The Association may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations governing the use of the Common Area by Owners and their family, guests and invitees. No Owner or other permitted user shall use the Common Area or any portion thereof in violation of the rules and regulations contained in this Declaration or subsequently adopted by the Association.

(b) Rights and Responsibilities of the Lot Owners as to Common Area Easements. Each Owner of a Lot upon which a Common Area easement lies shall pay all property taxes and other assessments levied against his Lot, including that portion of such tax or assessment as is attributable to such Common Area easement. (c) Rights and Responsibilities of the Association as to Common Area. The Association shall have the right and obligation to ensure that the Common Area is preserved for the perpetual benefit of the Owners, and, to that end, shall: (i) maintain the Common Area in its natural or -7- improved state, as appropriate, and keep it free of impediments to its use by the Owners, subject to the provisions of this Declaration; (ii) procure and maintain adequate liability insurance covering the Association and its Members, Directors and officers, against any loss or damage suffered by any person, including the Owner of the Lot upon which Common Area lies, resulting from use of the Common Area, and adequate hazard insurance covering the real and personal property owned in fee by the Association; and (iv) pay all property taxes and other assessments levied against all Common Area owned in fee by the Association. (d) Declarant's and Association's Ri t of Entry.

ARTICLE V COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each Owner of a Lot, by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association annual assessments and special assessments, such assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. All assessments which are unpaid when due, together with interest and late charges set forth in Section 9 of this Article V and all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a charge against and, a continuing lien upon the Lot against which such assessment is made. Each such assessment or charge, together with interest and costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal or corporate obligation of the person(s), firms) or corporation(s) owning such Lot at the time when the assessment fell due, but such personal obligation shall not be imposed upon such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. Although unpaid assessments and charges are not the personal obligation of such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them, the unpaid assessments and charges shall continue to be a lien upon the Lot against which the assessment or charge was made. It is the intent of the Declarant that any monetary fines imposed against an Owner pursuant to the Bylaws of the Association or Section 7 of Article XII of this Declaration shall constitute a lien against the Lot of such Owner to the same extent as if such fine were an assessment against such Lot. Section 2. Purposes of Assessments. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Subdivision and, in particular, for: (i) acquisition, improvement and maintenance of properties, services and facilities related to the use and enjoyment of the Common Area; (ii) repair and reconstruction of the streets and roadways within the subdivision and other improvements on the Common Area, including, without limitation, the cost of repair, replacement and additions thereto and the cost of labor, equipment, materials, management and supervision thereof; (iii) payment of taxes and public assessments levied against the Common Area owned by the Association in fee; (iv) procurement and maintenance of insurance in accordance with the -8- Section 4(c) of Article IV of this Declaration; (v) employment of attorneys, accountants and other persons or firms to represent the Association when necessary; (vi) payment of principal and interest on funds borrowed for Association purposes; (viii) such other needs as may arise; (ix) payment for the maintenance and operation of stormwater facilities and street lights; and (x) lawn care for Class A (Sea Spray Cove) lots, including maintenance of the irrigation system to irrigate those lawns. Section 3. Annual Assessments. (a) Maximum Annual Assessment. As provided in Section 2(a) of Article III hereof, Declarant shall establish the Maximum Annual Assessment and initial annual assessment for Class A and Class A-1 Lots; thereafter, the terms "Maximum Annual Assessment", annual assessment, and special assessment shall mean the Maximum, annual and special assessments applicable to Class A and Class A-1 Lots. Until December 31, 2006, the Maximum Annual Assessment shall be $100.00 for each Class A Lot and $5.00 for each Class A-1 Lot. The Declarant anticipates that the annual dues for the Class A Lots will exceed those of the Class A-1 Lots because of the lawn and irrigation system maintenance provided to the Class A Lots. The owners of Class A-1 Lots will be members of a subassociation to be formed under the applicable provisions of the North Carolina Condominium Act, Chapter 47C of the North Carolina General Statutes which will be responsible for collecting dues and paying the generally accepted expenses specific to condominium projects. From and after January 1, 2007, the Maximum Annual Assessment may be increased by the Board of Directors effective January 1 of each year without a vote of the Members, but subject to the limitation that the percentage of any such increase shall not exceed 10% of the Maximum Annual Assessment for the previous year unless such increase is approved as set forth in Section 3(b), below. From and after January 1, 2007, the Maximum Annual Assessment for Class A and Class A-1 Lots may be increased without limitation if such increase is approved by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for that purpose. (b) Annual Assessments: Ratification of Budgets. Notwithstanding the 10% increase restriction contained in (a) above, for so long as a Class B Lot exists, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to adopt an annual budget. After Class B Lots cease to exist, the Board of Directors shall adopt a proposed budget (including the proposed annual assessment for each Class of Lots) at least annually. Within 30 days after adoption of the proposed budget, the Board of Directors shall send a copy of the proposed budget and shall give written notice to the Members of a meeting of the Members to consider ratification of the budget, such meeting to be held not sooner than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the mailing of such notice. Such meeting may, but need not be, combined with the annual meeting of the Members. Except as required by Section 7 below, there shall be no requirement that a quorum be present in order to vote on ratification of the budget (although a quorum must be present to vote on other matters). The budget shall be deemed ratified unless at that meeting Members having a majority of the votes of the entire membership vote to reject the budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the budget provides for annual assessments not greater than 10% larger than the assessment in effect for the immediately preceding year, such budget shall be deemed ratified unless Members having at least 80% of the votes of the entire membership vote to reject the budget. If the la proposed budget is rejected, the budget last ratified by the Members shall be continued until such time as the Members ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the Board. Any annual assessment ratified by the Members shall continue thereafter from year to year as the anr_ual assessment until changed by the Board and radled by the Mem'oers as set forth herein. Section 4. Special Assessments. In addition to the annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, special assessments for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement on the Common Area, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, for repayment of indebtedness and interest thereon, or for any other purpose, provided that any such assessment shall have the same assent of the Members as provided in Section 3(b) of this Article. Section 5. Assessment Rate: Collection Period. Except as provided in Section 6 of this Article V, the annual and special assessments shall be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots within each subclass of Lots and may be collected on a yearly, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly basis, as determined by the Board of Directors. Section 6. Declarant's and Builder's Assessments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Association, the Declarant and Builder shall not be obligated for, nor subject to, any annual or special assessment for any Lot or other property that it owns within the Properties, provided, however, that the Builder shall be responsible for paying for each Lot owned by the Builder which contains a Dwelling for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued, an assessment equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual assessment in effect for Class A or Class A-1 Lots, as applicable, as the same may change from time to time, computed on a 365 day year and prorated for the number of days from the date of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy until the sale of such Lot. Upon sale of such Lot by Builder to any other person or entity, such Lot shall be assessed at Class A rate or Class A-1 rate, as applicable, commencing on the day the title to such Lot is transferred to such third party, by prorating the assessment from the date title transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, a Lot owned by the Builder which contains a Dwelling occupied as a residence (but not as a model or sales center) shall be assessed at the rate applicable to Class A or Class A-1 Lots, as applicable. Section 7. Notice and Quorum for any Action Authorized Under Sections 3(a) and 4. After Class B lots cease to exist, written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under Section 3(a) or 4 shall be sent to all Members not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting. At such meeting, the presence of Members, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast sixty (60%) percent of the votes of the entire membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirements, and if called for a date not later than sixty (60) days after the date of the first meeting, the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (%2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. Section 8. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments: Amount of Initial and Subsequent Annual Assessments: Certificate of Payment. Unless a different commencement date is set by the Board of Directors, the annual assessments provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots in any phase on the first day of the month following the conveyance of a Lot or Unit Will within that phase to an Owner other than the Declarant or a Builder. Unless a lower amount is set by the Board of Directors and ratified by the Members, the first annual assessment shall be the "Maximum Annual Assessment" set forth in Section 3 of this Article and shall be prorated according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. At least thirty (30) days before January 1 of each year, the Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot. At least fifteen (15) days before January 1 of each year, the Board of Directors shall send written notice of such assessment to every Owner subject thereto. The due dates for the payment of annual and special assessments shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Association shall, upon demand, and for such reasonable charge as the Board of Directors may determine, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid. If such certificate states that an assessment has been paid, such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment. Section 9. Working Capital Assessments. At the time of sale of each lot by the Declaring or a Builder to a third party, there shall be due and payable at closing a capitalization fee equal to twice the annual assessment then in effect at time of closing, payable by the purchaser to the Association. Such amounts paid for working capital are not to be considered as advance payment of the Annual or any other assessments. Declarant reserves the right to amend this section including the amount at any time. Section 9. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies. An assessment not paid within ten (10) days after the due date shall incur such late charge as the Board of Directors may from time to time establish, and, if not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, shall also bear interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less. The Association may bring an action at law or in equity against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same and/or foreclose the lien against the Lot for which such assessment is due. Interest, late payment charges, reasonable attorneys' fees, and the costs of such action or foreclosure shall be added to the amount of such assessment. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non- use of the Common Area or by abandonment of his Lot. Section 10. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The liens provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or first mortgage on a Lot. Sale or transfer of a Lot shall not affect any assessment lien; however, the sale or transfer of a Lot pursuant to foreclosure of a first mortgage, or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of any assessment which became due prior to the date of such conveyance. No such sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof; but the liens provided for herein shall continue to be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage. Section 11. Exempt Property. All property dedicated to and accepted by a public authority and all property owned by a charitable or non-profit organization exempt from taxation by the laws of the State of North Carolina shall be exempt from the assessments created herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no land or improvements devoted to dwelling use shall be exempt from said assessments. -11- ARTICLE VI RIGHTS OF LENDERS Section 1. Books and Records. Any owner or holder of a first mortgage on any Lot, or its agent, shall have the right, during normal business hours, to examine copies of this Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the books and records of the Association and, upon written request to the Association, to receive a copy of the financial statement for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

(c) Any proposed action that requires the consent of a specified percentage of owners or holders of first mortgages on the Lots. Section 3. Approval of Owners and Holders of First Mortgage.

The granting of easements for utilities or other purposes shall not be deemed a transfer within the meaning of this subsection. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Association from exchanging Common Area for other real property of like utility and value as provided in Section 1(c) of Article IV of this Declaration, or to require the approval of such exchange by the holders of first mortgages on the Lots; (b) Change the method of determining the obligations, assessments, dues or other charges which may be levied against a Lot; (c) Fail to maintain hazard insurance on insurable improvements on the Common Area on a current replacement cost basis in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value; or -12- (d) Use the proceeds of any hazard insurance policy covering losses to any part of the Common Area for other than the repair, replacement or reconstruction of the damaged improvements.

The Association may reserve or grant easements over the Common Area as provided in Article IV, Section 1(c), of this Declaration. Within any such easement herein provided, no structure, planting or other material shall be placed or permitted to remain which may interfere with the installation or maintenance of the utilities installed thereon, or which may change the direction of flow or drainage of water through drainage pipes or channels constructed in such easements. For a period of thirty (30) years from the date hereof, Declarant reserves, for itself and its employees, agents, successors and assigns, an easement upon and a right of ingress, egress and regress on, over and under the Properties for the purposes of constructing and maintaining water, sewer, gas, storm water drainage and retention, telephone, cable television, and electric, and other utility facilities to the extent required by any applicable governmental entity or deemed by the Declarant to be necessary or convenient for the development, use and enjoyment of the Properties and the Common Area and for the conduct of construction, sales and marketing activities. Such right expressly includes the right to cut any trees, bushes or shrubbery, make any gradings, of the soil or take any other similar action that it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. After such action has been completed, Declarant shall grade and seed the affected property and otherwise restore the affected property to its original condition to the extent practicable, but shall not be required to replace any trees, bushes or shrubbery necessarily removed. Declarant shall give reasonable notice of its intent to take such action to each Owner whose Lot is affected. Section 2. Easements for Governmental Access.

ARTICLE VIII ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL Section 1. Architectural Approval. Since the establishment of inflexible building setback lines for location of houses on lots tends to force construction of houses directly to the side of other homes with detrimental effects on privacy, view, preservation of important trees and other vegetation, ecological and related considerations, no specific setback lines are established by this Declaration. In order to assure, however, that the foregoing considerations are given maximum effect, the site and location of any house or dwelling or other structure upon any Lot shall be controlled by and must be approved absolutely by the Declarant or the Architectural Control Committee, as the case may be. The Architectural Control Committee shall have the sole and absolute right to determine the style and appearance of the Dwellings, including, but not limited to, fences, walls, buildings, outbuildings, garages, storage sheds, mailboxes, lawn decorations, structures of any type or color thereof, grading, landscaping, patio covers and trellises, plans for off-street parking of vehicles and utility layout, and any other improvements to be built or constructed on any Lot (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as "Improvements"). No Lot owner may remove any tree from any Lot, or make any material changes to the landscaping in areas of Lots maintained, or to be maintained by the Association without the approval of the Architectural Control Committee. After occupancy of a Dwelling as a residence pursuant to a certificate of occupancy or other similar certificate issued by the appropriate governmental authority, no Improvements (including, without limitation, replacement of any previously existing Improvements) shall be commenced, erected or maintained upon the Properties, nor shall any exterior addition to or change or alteration thereof be made (including, without limitation, changing materials or color of any exterior portion of any such Improvements), nor shall a building permit for such Improvements or change be applied for or obtained, until plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, heights, materials, color and location of same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Association or by an Architectural Review Committee ("ARC") -14- composed of three or more persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the Association. If the Association or its designee fails to approve or disapprove such proposed Improvements within 60 days after complete plans and specifications have been received by it, approval will not be required, and this Article shall be deemed to have been complied with. The Association shall have the right to charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed $25.00, for receiving and processing each application. The Declarant and, after the Declarant no longer owns any Lot within the Properties, the Association, shall have the right to promulgate and from time to time amend written architectural standards and construction specifications (hereinafter the "Architectural Guidelines") which may establish, define and expressly limit the standards and specifications which will be approved, including, but not limited to, architectural style, exterior color or finish, roofing material, siding material, driveway material, landscape design and construction technique. Neither the Association nor the ARC shall approve any Improvements which it determines, in its sole discretion, not to be in harmony of external design, construction and/or location in relation to the surrounding structures, topography or the general plan of development of the Subdivision. Neither the Declarant, the Association, the Board of Directors, the ARC, nor any member or employee of any of them, shall have any liability to any person or entity by reason of any acts taken or omitted by them, or any of them, in good faith pursuant to this Article. Section 2. Rules and Regulations. The ARC may from time to time recommend to the Board, and the Board may, in its sole discretion., adopt, promulgate, amend and repeal rules and regulations interpreting and implementing the provisions of this Article VIII, including adoption of detailed architectural guidelines and the imposition of a fee or charge for review of proposed improvements or modifications. Section 3. Variances. The ARC may recommend to the Board, and the Board may, by the vote or written consent of a majority of the members thereof, allow reasonable variances as to the covenants, conditions or restrictions contained in this Declaration, on such terms and conditions as it shall require; provided, however, that all such variances shall be in keeping with the general plan for the improvement and development of the Property. Variances contained in plans that are inadvertently approved by the ARC as part of the proposed improvements shall not be considered as having been approved unless specifically approved by the Board in accordance with the provisions of this Section. ARTICLE IX PARTY WALLS Section 1. General Rules of Law to Apply. The general rules of law regarding party walls, lateral support in below ground construction and of liability for property damage due to negligence or willful acts or omissions shall apply to each wall which is built as part of the original construction of the Dwellings wifain the Properties and placed on the dividing line between the Lots, and all reconstruction or extensions of such walls, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article. Section 2. Sharing of Repair and Maintenance. The cost of reasonable repair and maintenance of a party wall shall be shared by the Owners who make use of the wall in proportion to such use. -15- Section 3. Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty.

Section 5. Weather -proofing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, an Owner who, by his negligence or willful act, causes the party wall to be exposed to the elements, shall bear the entire cost of furnishing the necessary protection against such elements. Section 6. Right to Contribution Runs With Land. The right of any Owner to contribution from any other Owner under this Article shall be appurtenant to the land and shall pass to such Owner's successors in title. Section 7. Certification by Adjoining Property Owner That No Contribution Is Due. If any Owner desires to sell his Lot, such Owner, in order to assure a prospective purchaser that no Owner of an adjoining Lot has a right of contribution as provided in this Article, may request the adjoining property Owner to make a certification that no right of contribution exists, whereupon it shall be the duty of each adjoining property Owner to make such certification immediately upon request, and without charge; provided, however that where the adjoining property Owner claims a right of contribution, the certification shall contain a recital of the amount claimed. Section 8. Arbitration. In the event of a dispute concerning a party wall or the provisions of this Article, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of Article XII hereof.

ARTICLE V COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each Owner of a Lot, by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether -or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association annual assessments and special assessments, such assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. All assessments which are unpaid when due, together with interest and late charges set forth in Section 9 of this Article V and all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys fees, shall be a charge against and, a continuing lien upon the Lot against which such assessment is made. Each such assessment or charge, together with interest and costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal or corporate obligation of the person(s), firms) or corporation(s) owning such Lot at the time when the assessment fell due, but such personal obligation shall not be imposed upon such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. Although unpaid assessments and charges are not the personal obligation of such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them, the unpaid assessments and charges shall continue to be a lien upon the Lot against which the assessment or charge was made. It is the intent of the Declarant that any monetary fines imposed against an Owner pursuant to the Bylaws of the Association or Section 7 of Article XII of this Declaration shall constitute a lien against the Lot of such Owner to the same extent as if such fine were an assessment against such Lot.

Section 4(c) of Article IV of this Declaration; (v) employment of attorneys, accountants and other persons or firms to represent the Association when necessary; (vi) payment of principal and interest on funds borrowed for Association purposes; (viii) such other needs as may arise; (ix) payment for the maintenance and operation of stormwater facilities and street lights; and (x) lawn care for Class A (Seaspray Cove) lots, including maintenance of the irrigation system to irrigate those lawns. Section 3. Annual Assessments. (a) Maximum Annual Assessment. Declarant shall establish the Maximum Annual Assessment and initial annual assessment for Class A and Class A-1 Lots; thereafter, the terms "Maximum Annual Assessment", annual assessment, and special assessment shall mean the Maximum, annual and special assessments applicable to Class A and Class A-1 Lots. Until December 31, 2006, the Maximum Annual Assessment shall be $150.00 per month for each Class A Lot and $10.00 per month for each Class A-1 Lot. The Declarant anticipates that the annual dues for the Class A Lots will exceed those of the Class A-1 Lots because of the lawn and irrigation system maintenance provided to the Class A Lots. The owners of Class A-1 Lots will be members of a subassociation to be formed under the applicable provisions of the North Carolina Condominium Act, Chapter 47C of the North Carolina General Statutes which will be responsible for collecting dues and paying the generally accepted expenses specific to condominium projects. From 'and after January 1, 2007, the Maximum Annual Assessment may be increased by the Board of Directors effective January 1 of each year without a vote of the Members, but subject to the limitation that the percentage of any such increase shall not exceed 10% of the Maximum Annual Assessment for the previous year unless such increase is approved as set forth in Section 3(b), below. From and after January 1, 2007, the Maximum Annual Assessment for Class A and Class A-1 Lots may be increased without limitation if such increase is approved by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for that purpose. (b) Annual Assessments: Ratification of Budgets. Notwithstanding the 10% increase restriction contained in (a) above, for so long as a Class B Lot exists, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to adopt an annual budget. After Class B Lots cease to exist, the Board of Directors shall adopt a proposed budget (including the proposed annual assessment for each Class of Lots) at least annually. Within 30 days after adoption of the proposed budget, the Board of Directors shall send a copy of the proposed budget and shall give written notice to the Members of a meeting of the Members to consider ratification of the budget, such meeting to be held not sooner than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the mailing of such notice. Such meeting may, but need not be, combined with the annual meeting of the Members. Except as required by Section 7 below, there shall be no requirement that a quorum be present in order to vote on ratification of the budget (although a quorum must be present to vote on other matters). The budget shall be deemed ratified unless at that meeting Members having a majority of the votes of the entire membership vote to reject the budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the budget provides for annual assessments not greater than 10% larger than the assessment in effect for the immediately preceding year, such budget shall be deemed ratified unless Members having at least 80% of the votes of the entire membership vote to reject the budget. If the W Tnst # 283002 Book. 2209Page: 1.430 proposed budget is rejected, the budget last ratified by the Members shall be continued until such time as the Members ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the Board. Any annual assessment ratified by the Members shall continue thereafter from year to year as the annual assessment until changed by the Board and ratified by the Members as set. forth herein. Section 4. Special Assessments. In addition to the annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, special assessments for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement on the Common Area, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, for repayment of indebtedness and interest thereon, or for any other purpose, p ovided that any such assessment shall have the same assent of the Members as provided in Section 3(b) of this Article. Section 5. Assessment Rate: Collection Period. Except as provided in Section 6 of this Article V, the annual and special assessments shall be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots within each subclass of Lots and may be collected on a yearly, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly basis, as determined by the Board of Directors. Section 6. Declarant's and Builder's Assessments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws of the Association, the Declarant shall not be obligated for, nor subject to, any annual or special assessment for any Lot or other property that it owns within the Properties, provided, however, that the Declarant shall be responsible for paying the difference between: (i) the operating expenses of the Association; and (ii) the total operating revenues of the Association from all sources including, without limitation, annual and special assessments, revenues generated from fees charged by the Association for use of the Common area, and investment income (said difference being hereinafter referred to as the "Operating Deficit"). For purposes of this Section, the term "operating expenses" shall not include contributions to any reserves for replacement, operating reserves, depreciation reserves, capital expenditures, or special assessments. Declarant may, by written notice given by the Declarant to the Association on or before November 30 of any year, to be effective as of January 1, terminate its obligation to pay the Operating Deficit and waive its right to exclusion from assessments. In such event, each Lot owned by the Declarant which contains a Dwelling for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued shall be assessed at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual assessment in effect for Class A Lots or Class A-1 Lots, as applicable, as the same may change from time to time. Upon sale of such Lot by Declarant to any other person or entity, such Lot shall be assessed at Class A or Class A-1 rate, as appropriate, commencing on the day title to such Lot is transferred to such third party and prorated on a daily basis for the remainder of that year. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, a Lot owned by the Declarant which contains a Dwelling occupied as a residence, (but not as a model or sales center) shall be assessed at the rate applicable to Class A or Class A-1 Lots, as the case may be. '£he Declarant, at its option and upon such terms and conditions as Declarant may impose, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Operating Deficit, may extend Declarant's exclusion from assessments to any Builder, in which event such Builder may exercise the rights and shall have the obligations of Declarant set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, and, in such event, any reference to Declarant in this Section 6 shall be -10- _.... _......... _....... _....... . Inst # 283002 Book 2209Page: 1431 ........_... deemed to apply to any such Builder. So long as the Declarant or a Builder is obligated to pay any Operating Deficit, the Association, at the request of Declarant and upon such terms as the Declarant may require, shall open the Common Area and, in particular, the recreational facilities thereon, for use by non- members of the Association (including the general public) and shall grant any easement or license necessary for access to and from and for parking at or near such facilities. Section 7. Notice and Quorum for any Action Authorized Under Sections 3(a) and 4. After Class B lots cease to exist, written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under Section 3(a) or 4 shall be sent to all Members not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting. At such meeting, the presence of Members, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast sixty (60%) percent of the votes of the entire membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirements, and if called for a date not later than sixty (60) days after the date of the first meeting, the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (Y2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. Section 8. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments: Amount of Initial and Subsequent Annual Assessments: Certificate of Payment. Unless a different commencement date is set by the Board of Directors, the annual assessments provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots in any phase on the first day of the month following the conveyance of a Lot or Unit within that phase to an Owner other than the Declarant or a Builder. Unless a lower amount is set by the Board of Directors and ratified by the Members, the first annual assessment shall be the "Maxnnum Annual Assessment" set forth in Section 3 of this Article and shall be prorated according to the number of days remaining in the calendar year. At least thirty (30) days before January 1 of each year, the Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot. At least fifteen (15) days before January 1 of each year, the Board of Directors shall send written notice of such assessment to every Owner subject thereto. The due dates for the payment of annual and special assessments shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Association shall, upon demand, and for such reasonable charge as the Board of Directors may determine, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid. If such certificate states that an assessment has been paid, such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment. Section 9. Working Capital Assessments. At the time of sale of each lot by the Declarant or a Builder to a third party, there shall be due and payable at closing.a capitalization fee equal to twice the monthly assessment then in effect at time of closing, payable by the purchaser to the Association. Such amounts paid for working capital are not to be considered as advance payment of the Annual or any other assessments. Declarant reserves the right to amend this section including the amount at any time. Section 10. Effect of Nonnayment of Assessments: Remedies. An assessment not paid within ten (10) days after the .due date shall incur such late charge as the Board of Directors may from time to time establish, and; if not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date, shall also bear interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate -11- Inst # 283002 Book 2209Page: 1432 allowed by law, whichever is less. The Association may bring an action at law or in equity against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same and/or foreclose the lien against the Lot for which such assessment is due. Interest, late payment charges, reasonable attorneys' fees, and the costs of such action or foreclosure shall be added to the amount of such assessment. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non- use of the Common Area or by abandonment of his Lot. Section 11. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The liens provided. for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or first mortgage on a- Lot. Sale or transfer of a Lot shall not affect any assessment lien; however, the sale or transfer of a Lot pursuant to foreclosure of a first mortgage, or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of any assessment which became due prior to the date of such conveyance. No such sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof; but the liens provided for herein shall continue to be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage. Section 12. Exempt property. All property dedicated to and accepted by a public authority and all property owned by a charitable or non-profit organization. exempt from taxation by the laws of the State of North Carolina shall be exempt from the assessments created herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no land or improvements devoted to dwelling use shall be exempt from said assessments. ARTICLE VI RIGHTS OF LENDERS Section 1. Books and Records.

Section 2. Notice to Lenders.

(b) A lapse; cancellation, or material modification of any insurance policy or fidelity bond maintained by the Association. (c) Any proposed action that requires the consent of a specified percentage of owners or holders of first mortgages on the Lots. -12- xnrst #t 283002 Book 2209Page: 1433 Section 3. Approval of Owners and Holders of First Mortgage.

The granting of easements for utilities or other purposes shall not be deemed a transfer within the meaning of this subsection. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Association from exchanging Common Area for other real property of like utility and value as provided in Section 1(c) of Article IV of this Declaration, or to require the approval of such exchange by the holders of first mortgages on the Lots; (b) Change the method of determining the obligations, assessments, dues or other charges which may be levied against a Lot; (c) Fail to maintain hazard insurance on insurable improvements on the Common Area on a current replacement cost basis in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value; or (d) Use the proceeds of any hazard insurance policy covering losses to any part of the Common Area for other than the repair, replacement or reconstruction of the damaged improvements. Section 4. Payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums. The owners or holders of first mortgages on Lots, jointly or singly, may pay taxes or other charges which are in default and which have or may become a charge or lien against any of the Common Area and may pay overdue premiums on hazard insurance policies or secure new hazard insurance coverage upon the lapse of a policy covering property owned by the Association. The persons, firms or corporations making such payments shall be owed immediate reimbursement therefor by the Association. ARTICLE VII EASEMENTS Section 1. Access and Utility Easements. Easements for the installation and maintenance of driveways, walkways, water, gas, telephone, cable television and electric power transmission lines, sanitary sewer and storm water drainage facilities, and for other public utility installations are reserved as shown on the recorded plats of the Properties. The Association may reserve or grant easements over the Common Area as provided in Article IV, Section 1(c), of this Declaration. Within any such easement herein provided, no structure, planting or other material shall be placed or permitted to remain which may interfere with the installation or maintenance of the utilities installed thereon, or which may change the direction of flow or drainage of water through drainage pipes or channels constructed in such easements. For a period of thirty (30) years from the date hereof, Declarant reserves, for itself and its employees, agents, successors and assigns, an easement upon and a right of ingress, egress and regress on, over and under the Properties for the purposes of constructing and maintaining water, sewer, gas, storm water drainage and retention, telephone, cable television, and electric, and -13- Inst tl 283002 Book 2209Page; 1434 other utility facilities to the extent required by any applicable governmental entity or deemed by the Declarant to be necessary or convenient for the development, use and enjoyment of the Properties and the Common Area and for the conduct of construction, sales and marketing activities. Such right expressly includes the right to cut any trees, bushes or shrubbery, make any gradings of the soil or take any other similar action that it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. After such action has been completed, Declarant shall grade and seed the affected property and otherwise restore the affected property to its original condition to the extent practicable, but shall not be required to replace any trees, bushes or shrubbery necessarily removed. Declarant shall give reasonable notice of its intent to take such action to each Owner whose Lot is affected. Section 2. Easements for Governmental Access. An easement is hereby established over the Common Area and every Lot within the Properties for the benefit of applicable governmental agencies for installing, removing; and reading water meters, maintaining and replacing water and sewer facilities, and acting for other purposes consistent with public safety and welfare, including, without limitation, law enforcement, fire protection, garbage collection and the delivery of mail. Section 3. Owner's Easement and Right of Entry for Repair. Maintenance and Reconstruction. If any Dwelling is located closer than five (5) feet from its Lot line, the Owner thereof shall have a perpetual access easement over the adjoining Lot to the extent reasonably necessary to perform repair, maintenance or reconstruction of such Dwelling.

Section 4. Association's Easement and Right of Entry. The Association, for itself and its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and invitees, shall have a perpetual access easement over the each Lot to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the maintenance to be performed by the Association.

ARTICLE VIII ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL Section 1. Architectural AWroval. Since the establishment of inflexible building setback lines for location of houses on lots tends to force construction of houses directly to the side of other homes with detrimental effects on privacy, view, preservation of important trees and other vegetation, ecological and related considerations, no specific setback lines are established by this Declaration. In order to assure, however, that the foregoing considerations are given maximum effect, the site and location of any house or dwelling or other structure upon any Lot shall be controlled by and must be approved absolutely by the Declarant or the Architectural Control Committee, as the case may be. -14- Inst # 283002 Book 2209Page: 1435 The Architectural Control Committee shall have the sole and absolute right to determine the style and appearance of the Dwellings, including, but not limited to, fences, walls, buildings, outbuildings, garages, storage sheds, mailboxes, lawn decorations, structures of any type or color thereof, grading, landscaping, patio covers and trellises, plans for off-street parking of vehicles and utility layout, and any other improvements to be built or constructed on any Lot (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as "Improvements"). No Lot owner may remove any tree from any Lot, or make any material changes to the landscaping in areas of Lots maintained, or to be maintained by the Association without the approval of the Architectural Control Committee.

If the Association or its designee fails to approve or disapprove such proposed Improvements within 60 days after complete plans and specifications have been received by it, approval will not be required, and this Article shall be deemed to have been complied with. The Association shall have the right to charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed $25.00, for receiving and processing each application.
