the Redwood Rookery Townhome Association, Inc. (hereinafter Association), a
non-profit corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the State of North
Carolina, for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of the
Development; of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the lands
and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the Disposal System; and of collecting dues and
assessments to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair.
6. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly constructed,

operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair, and
maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire wastewater
treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element, which will receive the highest priority for
expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance.
5. The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will
be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily available to
repair, maintain or construct the Disposal System, beyond the routine operation and maintenance expenses,
the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of the common expenses.

existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
8. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall provide
in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without first having
transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable to and
approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
9. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 above shall be conditions of any

filed and in the offices of the Secretary of State of North Carolina with the Articles of Incorporation of the
Assoc iation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this agreement was executed in duplicate originals by the duly authorized
representative of the parties hereto on the day and year written as indicated by each of the parties named below:
