This soil is fairly well suited to many of the locally ro«'n crops, and the areas that have been cleared are sed for row crops and pasture. About three-fourths of lie acreage is in forest, and the rest is cultivated or in astl1re. This soil contains a large amount of exchange- ble aluminum, which is toxic to some plants. Intensive ractices that effectively control runoff and erosion are eeded in the cultivated areas. (Capability unit IIe-3, ,oodland suitability group 11, wildlife suitability Tollp 1) White Store clay loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes, severely roded (WvD3).-This soil is on Piedmont uplands. It has red to brown clay loam surface layer 3 to 6 inches flick. The present surface layer is a mixture of the re- ' raining original surface soil and of material from the ubsoil. The color of the subsoil ranges from dusky red nd yellowish red to strong brown and olive yellow, with onion mottles of gray. The subsoil is 9 to 36 inches ' (rick and consists of clay that is very firm when moist lid ?-ery plastic when wet. Infiltration is poor. Most of the water from rainfall uns off the surface. This soil is too eroded for cultivation, and most of the creage is in forest. The areas that have been cleared )could be kept in pasture or permanent hay crops.

These soils occupy small areas on side slopes and ar rounded divides in the Piedmont uplands, where the lifference in elevation is about 75 feet between the high- stand the lowest points. They have formed under forest-, mostly in the northern and western parts of the county, n material that weathered from mixed acidic and basic ochs. The water table remains below the solum. ?Natural fertility is medium, and the content of organic natter is low. The available water capacity is low, and )ernleability and the shrink-swell potential are moderate. kept in areas that have received lime, these soils are lightly acid to medium acid. Response is fairly good if able applications of lime and fertilizer are made. In Wake County the Wilkes soils are of only minor ' nrPortance for farming. Most of the acreage is in forest.

R-38 inches -{-, hard, fine-grained schist containing a large amount of basic minerals. The Ap horizon ranges from 3 to 12 inches in thickness, from yellowish brown or dark grayish brown to dark brown in color, and from sandy loam to silt loam in texture. The 132t horizon ranges from 2 to 10 inches in thickness, generally has a clay or clay loam texture, and has varied colors that range from 5YR to IOYR in hue. The B horizons range from 8 to 36 inches in combined thickness and from sandy loam to clay loam, mixed with saprolite, in texture. The color of the B horizons ranges from 5YR to 5Y in hue. These soils are generally massive. In many places they have clay films in the cracks. The solum ranges from 12 inches to 40 inches in thickness. Depth to hard rock ranges from 2 feet to 10 feet or more. Wilkes soils occur with Louisburg, Wake, and Enon soils. They have a darker, more brownish color than the Louisburg and Wake soils and are less acid than those soils. Wilkes soils have a thinner solum than the Enon soils. Wilkes soils, 2 to 10 percent slopes (WwQ.-These soils are on small ridges and side slopes in the uplands. They have a yellowish-brown or grayish-brown to dark- brown surface layer of sandy loam to silt loam that is 3 to 12 inches thick and contains clayey spots in many places. The color of the subsoil ranges from brown or dark brown to gray and yellowish red. The subsoil is 8 to 36 inches thick. It ranges from sandy loam to clay loam in texture and from very friable to firm in consistence. Infiltration is good, and surface runoff is medium to rapid. The hazard of erosion is very severe. These soils are somewhat difficult to till, but they can be worked throughout a fairly wide range of moisture content. About two-thirds of the acreage is in forest, and the rest is in pasture or is cultivated. These soils are fairly well suited to many of the locally grown crops. Intensive practices that effectively control runoff and erosion are needed, however, if cultivated crops are grown. (Capa- bility unit IVe-3, woodland suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group 4) Wilkes soils, 10 to 20 percent slopes (WwE).-These soils are on side slopes that border upland drainageways. Their surface layer is yellowish-brown or grayish-brown to dark-brown sandy loam to silt loam and is 3 to 10 inches thick. In many places the surface layer contains clayey spots. The subsoil ranges from brown or dark brown to gray or yellowish red in color, from very friable to firm in consistence, and from sandy loam to clay loam in texture. Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very rapid. These soils are mainly in forest, but a small acreage is in pasture. Because of the strong slopes and the bedrock near the surface in some places, the areas that have been cleared should be used only for pasture or for permanent hay crops. (Capability unit VIe-2, woodland suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group 4) 1 64 SOIL SURVEY Wilkes soils, 20 to 45 percent slopes (WWF).-These soils are on side slopes bordering major drainageways in the uplands. They have a surface layer of yellowish- brown or grayish-brown to dark-brown sandy loam to silt loam 3 to 8 inches thick. Their subsoil ranges from brown or dark brown to gray or yellowish red in color, from very friable to firm in consistence, and from sandy loam to clay loam in texture. Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very, rapid. Practically all of the acreage is in forest. Because of the strong slopes and bedrock near the surface, these soils should be kept in forest. (Capability unit VIIe-1, woodland suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group 4 Wilkes stony soils, 15 to 25 percent slopes (WxE).-The soils of this unit are on side slopes that border major drainageways m the uplands. Their surface layer is yellowish-brown or grayish-brown to dark-brown stony sandy loam 6 to 10 inches thick. Large stones occupy from 1 to 2 percent of the surface. The subsoil ranges from brown or dark brown to gray or yellowish red in color, from very friable to firm in consistence, and from sandy loam to clay loam in texture. Infiltration is good. Surface runoff is very rapid. Practically all of the acreage is in forest. Because of the strong slopes and bedrock near the surface, these soils should remain in forest. (Capability unit VIIe-1, wood- land suitability group 12, wildlife suitability group 4) Worsham Series The Worsham series consists of nearly level and gently sloping, deep, poorly drained soils of Piedmont uplands. These soils occupy small areas throughout the county, at the heads of draniageways, on foot slopes, and in slight depressions. They have formed under forest in translo- cated material and in material that weathered from most kinds of rocks underlying this area. A seasonally high water table is approximately at the surface. Natural fertility and the content of organic matter are low, and permeability is moderately slow. The available water capacity is medium, and the shrink-swell potential is moderate. Except in areas that have received lime, these soils are strongly acid. Response is fairly good if suitable applications of lime and fertilizer are made. The Worsham soils of Wake County are of only minor importance for farming. Some areas have been cleared and are used for pasture or waterways, but most of the acreage is in forest. The areas that have been cleared and have then been allowed to revert to forest are in pines or in mixed pines and hardwoods.

Any assessments (or installments) which are not paid when due shall be delinquent. Any assessment (or installment) which is delinquent for a period of more than 10 days shall incur a late charge in an amount set by the Board. If the Assessment is not paid within 30 days, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, the Board may file a claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court in the county in which the Lot is located. The lien shall set forth the name and address of the Association, the name of the Owner of the Lot, a description of the Lot, and cover all assessments then due or which come due until the lien is canceled of record, and any other amounts provided in this Declaration or permitted by law.

The Association shall have the power to bid on the Lot at any foreclosure sale or to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, or convey the same. 4.12. No Setoff or Deduction. No Owner may waive or otherwise exempt himself from liability for the assessments provided for in this Declaration. No setoff, diminution, or abatement of any assessment shall be claimed or allowed by reason of any alleged failure of the Association to take some action, for inconvenience or discomfort arising from the making of repairs or improvements which are the responsibility of the Association, or from any action taken by the Association to comply with any law, ordinance, or with any order or directive of any municipal or other goven-unental authority. The obligation to pay assessments is a separate and independent covenant on the part of each Owner and is not subject to setoff. 4.13. Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to costs, then to late charges, then to interest, and then to delinquent assessments. 4.14. Date of Commencement of Assessments. As to each Lot, assessments shall start on the first day of the month following the sale of the Lot to a Person other than a Builder. The first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of days then remaining in that fiscal year. 4.15. Specific Assessment. Pursuant to this Section, the Board shall have the power to specifically assess as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. Failure of the Board to exercise its authority under this Section shall not be grounds for any action against the Association or the Board of Directors and shall not constitute a waiver of the Board's right to exercise its authority under this Section in the future. The Board may also specifically assess 7 (Page 9 of 47) IBKO12407PGO1029 Owners for the following Association expenses (except for expenses incurred for maintenance ' and repair of items which are the Association's maintenance responsibility): a. Expenses of the Association which benefit less than all of the Lots may be specifically assessed equitably among all of the Lots which are benefited according to the benefit received; and ' b. Expenses of the Association which benefit all Lots, but which do not provide an equal benefit to all Lots, may be assessed equitably among all Lots according to the benefit received. 4.16. Budget Deficits During Declarant Control. For so long as the Declarant has the authority to appoint the directors and officers of the Association, Declarant may (but shall not be ' required to): a. Advance funds to the Association sufficient to satisfy the deficit, if any, ' between the actual operating expenses of the Association and the sum of the annual, special, and specific assessments collected by the Association in any fiscal year. Such advances shall, upon request of Declarant, be evidenced by promissory notes from the ' Association in favor of the Declarant. The failure of Declarant to obtain a promissory note shall not invalidate the debt; or ' b. Cause the Association to borrow such amount, or a general borrowing, from a third party at the then prevailing rates for such a loan in the local area of the Community. Declarant, in its sole discretion, may guarantee repayment of such loan, if required by the lending institution, but no Mortgage secured by the Common Property or any of the improvements maintained by the Association shall be given in connection with such loan; or c. Acquire property for, or provide services to, the Association or the Common Property. Declarant shall designate the value of the property or the services provided and such amounts, at the request of the Declarant, shall be evidenced by a ' promissory note. Failure to obtain a promissory note shall not invalidate the obligation referred to in this Section. ' 4.17. Intentionally Omitted. 4.18. Declarant's Oblip-ations for Assessments. As long as and whenever Declarant ' owns 10% or more of the Lots comprising the Community from time to time, Declarant's obligation for Assessments on unsold Lots subject to this Declaration will be limited to the difference between the actual operating costs of the Association and the Assessments levied on ' the existing Members other than Declarant. In no event, however, will Declarant be required to make a deficiency contribution in any amount greater than the Builder Rate (as defined below) on Lots owned by Declarant. Whenever Declarant owns less than 10% of the Lots of the 1 age 10 of 47) X012407PG01030 Community, Declarant shall pay Assessments at the Builder Rate for each Lot owned by Declarant, and Declarant shall not have any obligation to make a deficiency contribution. 4.19. Builders' Obligations for Assessments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the annual Assessments on Lots owned by Builders who do not intend to live in the improvements they are constructing or causing to be constructed on such Lots shall accrue annually at a rate equal to 75% of the rate applicable to Owners (other than Declarant) (such discounted rate herein called the "Builder Rate") from the date of the Builder's purchase of the Lot. If recreation facilities as described in Article Thirteen are constructed, then once they are completed, the annual Assessments to be paid by Builders shall be at the rate applicable to Owners (other than Declarant) rather than at the Builder Rate. 4.20. Maximum Annual Assessment. Until January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot from Declarant, the maximum annual Assessment shall be $480 per Lot, as applicable. From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot from Declarant, then annual Assessment each year shall be no more than 110% of the previous years' Assessment, unless 2/3 or more of each class of the Members present or voting by proxy at a duly called meeting vote to increase the annual Assessments for a given year by more than 10% more than the annual Assessments for the prior year. The Board may fix the annual Assessments at any amount not greater than the maximum described here or determined by the duly called meeting as described above. The limitation in the increase in the annual Assessments herein shall not apply to any change in the maximum amount of the Assessments undertaken as an incident to: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the Association is authorized by law to participate; (2) as an incident to any additions to The Properties or submission of additional property to this Declaration; or (3) in connection with the addition of recreational facilities pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum annual Assessment figure shall be increased by 10% per year, even though the actual annual Assessment may be less (i.e., in the year following the conveyance of the first Lot, the maximum annual Assessment figure shall increase to $528, then $581 the next year, and so on, even though the actual annual Assessment figure may be less). 4.21. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual Assessments authorized by this Article IV, the Association may levy: a) upon the first sale of each and every Lot by Declarant to an Owner, a specific Assessment in an amount to be determined by Declarant, but not to exceed $750.00, shall be collected at the closing of such sale for the benefit of the Association. This specific Assessment shall be a one-time Assessment to be paid by the first Owner of a Lot other than Declarant. In addition, this specific Assessment shall (i) be in addition to, not in lieu of, the annual Assessment; (ii) shall not be considered an advance payment of such annual Assessment; and (iii) shall not be refundable by Declarant or the Association to such Owner. b) in any assessment year, a special Assessment, applicable to that year only, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of professional or consulting fees, any construction or reconstruction, unexpected repairs or replacement of any capital improvement 9 (Page 11 of 47) IBKO12407PGO1031 (including, without limiting the generality thereof, any lake, waterway, or pond) located in the ' Community, including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that any such Assessment shall have the consent of 67% of the votes of the Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose, written notice of which shall have ' been sent to all Members in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws for such special meetings. ' c) In addition to the special Assessment approved by the Members, as described in the preceding subsection b), the Association may levy a special Assessment, in the event of emergencies in which the Association perceives a threat to persons or to property, without the ' consent of the Members. The amount of such Assessment, however, may not exceed $1,000.00 per Owner. ' ARTICLE V. MAINTENANCE & CONVEYANCE OF COMMON PROPERTY TO ASSOCIATION 5.1. Rights and Responsibilities of the Association. Subject to the rights of Owners and ' Declarant as set forth in this Declaration, the Association has exclusive management and control of the Common Properties and all improvements thereon and all furnishings, equipment and other personal property relating thereto. The Association's duties with respect to such Common ' Properties include, but are not limited to, the following: a) maintenance of the Common Properties; ' b) management, operation, maintenance, repair, servicing, replacement and renewal of all landscaping, improvements, equipment and personal property constituting part of the ' Common Properties or located upon the Common Properties so as to keep all of the foregoing in good, clean, attractive, sanitary, safe and serviceable condition, order and repair; ' c) all landscaping of the Common Properties; ' d) maintenance of adequate public liability insurance insuring the Association and its officers and directors, and adequate property casualty or hazard insurance with a minimum replacement value of 80% after application of any deductibles, for the benefit of the Association ' with respect to the Common Properties, all of the foregoing insurance policies being maintained and insurance proceeds being used in compliance with the provisions of North Carolina General Statutes Section 47F-3-113; e) payment of all taxes and assessments validly levied, assessed or imposed with respect to the Common Properties; 1 ? 10 age 12 of 47) ;K012407PG01032 f) maintenance of private streets and recreational and other facilities located on the Common Properties; and g) payment of assessments for public and private capital improvements made to or for the benefit of the Common Properties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Association shall be entitled to undertake (but is not obligated to undertake) the management, operation, maintenance, repair, servicing, replacement and renewal of all streets and roads within the Community and all improvements thereon; provided, however, following any irrevocable acceptance of the streets and roads for maintenance as public rights of way by applicable governmental entities, the maintenance obligations of the Association for the streets and roads shall only be to the extent such activities are not performed by the applicable governmental entities. The Association may in its discretion also provide other services as and to the extent the Association deems appropriate, such as, but not limited to, security services or devices, including but not limited to operation of the entry guard house and any other security gates, security personnel and overall traffic control. The Association may obtain and pay for the services of any person or firm to manage its affairs to the extent the Board deems advisable, as well as such other person or firm as the Board determines is necessary or desirable, whether such person or firm is furnished or employed directly by the Association or by any person or firm with whom it contracts. Without limitation, the Board may obtain and pay for legal, accounting, engineering or other professional services necessary or desirable in connection with the Common Properties or the enforcement of this Declaration, the Association's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, rules or regulations. The Association may acquire, hold, exchange and dispose of real property and tangible and intangible personal property, subject to such restrictions as from time to time may be contained in this Declaration, the Association's Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws. The Association, from time to time, may adopt, alter, amend, rescind and enforce reasonable rules and regulations governing use and operation of the Common Properties, which rules and regulations shall be consistent with the rights and duties established by this Declaration. The validity of the Association's rules and regulations, and their enforcement, shall be determined by a standard of reasonableness for the purpose of protecting the value and desirability of The Properties. 11 (Page 13 of 47) 1 BK012407PG01033 ' The Association may, acting through its Board, contract with other residential associations or commercial entities, neighborhoods or clubs to provide services or perform services on behalf of the Association and its Members. ' 5.2. Owner's Responsibility. Except as provided in Section 5.1 above, all maintenance of the Lot and all structures, parking areas, landscaping, and other improvements thereon shall be the sole responsibility of the Owner thereof, who shall maintain such Lot in a ' manner consistent with the Community Standard and this Declaration. In the event that the Board determines that any Owner has failed or refused to discharge properly any of such Owner's obligations with regard to the maintenance, repair, or replacement of items for which such Owner ' is responsible, the Association may perform such maintenance, repair, or replacement for the Owner at the expense of the Owner. Except in an emergency situation, the Association shall give the Owner written notice of the Association's intent to provide such necessary maintenance, ' repair, or replacement. The notice shall set forth with reasonable particularity the maintenance, repairs, or replacement deemed necessary. The Owner shall have 10 days after receipt of such notice within which to complete such maintenance, repair, or replacement, or, in the event that ' such maintenance, repair, or replacement is not capable of completion within a 10 day period, to commence such work which shall be completed within a reasonable time. If any Owner does not comply with the provisions hereof, the Association may provide any such maintenance, repair, or ' replacement at such Owner's sole cost and expense, and all costs shall be an assessment levied against the Owner and a lien on such Owner's Lot in accordance with the provisions of Article IV hereof. i 5.3. Conveyance of Common Property by Declarant to Association. The Declarant may convey to the Association any personal property, any improved or unimproved real property, ' leasehold, easement, or other property interest located within or adjacent to the Community. Such conveyance shall be accepted by the Association, and the property shall thereafter be Common Property to be maintained by the Association for the benefit of all or a part of its ' members. Declarant shall not be required to make any improvements whatsoever to property to be conveyed and accepted pursuant to this Section. Declarant in recording any plat of the Property may identify thereon certain areas of land as "Open Space," "Common Area," ' "Common Property," or similar designation.

Such insurance shall comply with these provisions: ' a. All policies shall be written with a company authorized to do business in North Carolina. ' b. Exclusive authority to settle losses under policies obtained by the Association shall be vested in the Association's Board of Directors; provided, however, no Mortgagee having an interest in such losses may be prohibited from participating in ' the settlement negotiations, if any, related thereto. C. In no event shall the insurance coverage obtained and maintained by the ' Association be brought into contribution with insurance purchased by individual Owners, 1 24 ige 26 of 47) K012407PGO1046 Occupants, or their Mortgagees, and the insurance carried by the Association shall be primary. d. All casualty insurance policies shall have an inflation guard endorsement and an agreed amount endorsement if these are reasonably available and all insurance policies shall be reviewed annually. e. The Association's Board of Directors shall be required to make every reasonable effort to secure insurance policies that will provide for the following: i.

A waiver by the insurer of its rights to repair and reconstruct instead of paying cash; iii.

Individual Insurance. By virtue of taking title to a Lot subject to the terms of this Declaration, each Owner acknowledges that the Association has no obligation to provide any insurance for any portion of individual Lots, and each Owner covenants and agrees with all other Owners and with the Association that each Owner shall carry blanket "all-risk" casualty ' insurance on the Lot and all structures constructed thereon and a liability policy covering damage or injury occurring on a Lot. The casualty insurance shall cover loss or damage by fire and other hazards commonly insured under an "all-risk" policy, if reasonably available, including vandalism and malicious mischief, and shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the full replacement cost of any repair or reconstruction in the event of damage or destruction from any such hazard. If "all-risk" coverage is not reasonably available, Owners shall obtain, at a ' minimum, fire and extended coverage. The policies required hereunder shall be in effect at all times. Authority to adjust losses under policies obtained by an Owner shall be vested in the Owner. The losses under policies obtained by an Owner shall be vested in the Owner. The ' Association shall have the right, but not the obligation, at the expense of the Owner, to acquire the insurance required to be maintained by the Owner if the Owner fails to provide a valid policy to the Association with a prepaid receipt within 10 days after receipt by the Owner of a written ' request from the Association. If the Association acquires insurance on behalf of any Owner, the cost thereof shall be assessed against the Owner as a specific assessment and shall be a lien on such Owner's Lot. 8.7. Damage and Destruction -- Insured by Association. ' a. In General. Immediately after damage or destruction by fire or other casualty to all or any portion of any improvement covered by insurance written in the name of the Association, the Board or its duly authorized agent shall proceed with the ' filing and adjustment of all claims arising under such insurance and obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the cost of repair or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed property. Repair or reconstruction, as used in this Section, means repairing or restoring ' the property to substantially the same condition and location that existed prior to the fire or other casualty, allowing for any changes or improvements necessitated by changes in applicable building codes. The Board shall have the enforcement powers specified in this ' Declaration necessary to enforce this provision. b. Repair and Reconstruction. Any damage or destruction to property ' covered by insurance written in the name of the Association shall be repaired or reconstructed unless, within 60 days after the casualty, at least 80% of the Total Association Vote otherwise agree; provided, however, during Declarant's Development ' Period, Declarant must also agree. If for any reason either the amount of the insurance proceeds to be paid as a result of such damage or destruction, or reliable and detailed estimates of the cost of repair or reconstruction, or both, are not made available to the Association within such period, then the period shall be extended until such information shall be made available; provided, however, such extension shall not exceed 60 days. No 26 age 28 of 47) ;K012407PG01048 Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in the determination of whether damage or destruction shall be repaired or reconstructed. C. If the damage or destruction for which the insurance proceeds are paid is to be repaired or reconstructed and such proceeds are not sufficient to defray the cost thereof, the Board shall, without the necessity of a vote of the Association's members, levy a special assessment against all Owners in proportion to the number of Lots owned by such Owners. Additional assessments may be made in like manner at any time during or following the completion of any repair or reconstruction. If the funds available from insurance exceed the costs of repair or reconstruction or if the improvements are not repaired or reconstructed, such excess shall be deposited to the benefit of the Association. d. In the event that it is determined by the Association in the manner described above that the damage or destruction shall not be repaired or reconstructed and no alternative improvements are authorized, then and in that event the property shall be restored to its natural state and maintained as an undeveloped portion of the Community by the Association in a neat and attractive condition. 8.8. Damage and Destruction -- Insured by Owners. The damage or destruction by fire or other casualty to all or any portion of any improvement on a Lot shall be repaired by the Owner thereof within 75 days after such damage or destruction or, where repairs cannot be completed within 75 days, they shall be commenced within such period and shall be completed within a reasonable time thereafter. Alternatively, the Owner may elect to demolish all improvements on the Lot and remove all debris therefrom within 75 days after such damage or destruction. In the event of noncompliance with this provision, the Board shall have all enforcement powers specified in this Declaration. ARTICLE IX. CONDEMNATION In the event of a taking by eminent domain of any portion of the Common Property on which improvements have been constructed, then, unless within 60 days after such taking, at least 75% of the Total Association Vote shall otherwise agree, the Association shall restore or replace such improvements so taken on the remaining land included in the Common Property to the extent lands are available therefor. The provisions of this Declaration applicable to Common Property improvements damage, shall govern replacement or restoration and the actions to be taken in the event that the improvements are not restored or replaced. ARTICLE X. ANNEXATION OF ADDITIONAL PROPERTY 10.1. Unilateral Annexation By Declarant. 27 (Page 29 of 47) I BK012407PG01049 1 a. The Declarant shall have the unilateral right, privilege, and option from time to time until 10 years after the recording of this Declaration to subject to the provisions of this Declaration the following property ("Annexation"): L All or any portion of the real property described in Exhibit B, if any; ii. Any property which is adjacent to any portion of the Property, and iii. Any tract of land, of which any portion is located within a 5 mile radius of the property described in Exhibit A. For the purpose of determining whether property is "adjacent," the rights of way of public or private roads or utilities, as well as rivers and streams, and the like shall be deemed not to separate otherwise adjacent property. Annexation may be accomplished by filing for record, in the county in which the property to be annexed is located, a Supplementary Declaration describing the property being subjected. Any such annexation shall be effective upon the filing for record of such Supplementary Declaration unless otherwise provided therein. Declarant shall have the right, in connection with the annexation of other property, to modify the terms of this Declaration as it may apply to the annexed property. As long as covenants applicable to the real property previously subjected to this Declaration are not changed and as long as rights of existing Owners are not adversely affected, the Declarant may unilaterally amend this Declaration to reflect the different character of any such annexed real property. b. The rights reserved unto Declarant to subject additional land to the Declaration shall not impose any obligation upon Declarant to subject any of such additional land to this Declaration or the jurisdiction of the Association. If such additional land is not subjected to this Declaration, Declarant's reserved rights shall not impose any obligation on Declarant to impose any covenants and restrictions similar to those contained herein upon such additional land nor shall such rights in any manner limit or restrict the use to which such additional land may be put by Declarant or any subsequent owner thereof, whether such uses are consistent with the covenants and restrictions imposed hereby or not. 10.2. Other Annexation. Subject to the consent of the owner(s) thereof and the consent of the Declarant (during Declarant's Development Period), upon the affirmative vote or written consent, or any combination thereof, of the Owners of at least 2/3 of the Lots, the Association may annex real property to the provisions of this Declaration describing the property to be annexed and filed for recording in the land records of the county in which the Community is located. A Supplementary Declaration shall be signed by the President of the Association whose signature shall be attested by the Secretary of the Association, and any such annexation shall be 28 age 30 of 47) X012407PG01050 effective only upon the filing for record of such Supplementary Declaration, unless a later effective date is provided therein. ARTICLE XI. MORTGAGEE PROVISIONS The following provisions are for the benefit of holders of first Mortgages on Lots in the Community. The provisions of this Section apply to both this Declaration and the Bylaws, notwithstanding any other provisions contained therein. 11.1. Notices of Action. An institutional holder, insurer, or guarantor of a first Mortgage, who provides a written request to the Association (such request to state the name and address of such holder, insurer, or guarantor and the legal description of the encumbered Lot, therefore becoming an "eligible holder"), will be entitled to timely written notice of : a. Any condemnation loss or any casualty loss which affects a material portion of the Community or which affects any Lot on which there is a first Mortgage held, insured, or guaranteed by such eligible holder; b. Any delinquency in the payment of assessments or charges owed by an Owner of a Lot subject to the Mortgage of such eligible holder, where such delinquency has continued for a period of 60 days; provided that, notwithstanding this provision, any holder of a first Mortgage, upon request, is entitled to written notice from the Association of any default in the performance by the Owner of the encumbered Lot of any obligation under the Declaration or Bylaws of the Association which is not cured within 60 days; and c. Any lapse, cancellation, or material modification of any insurance policy maintained by the Association. 11.2. Notice to Association. Upon request, each Owner shall be obligated to furnish to the Association the name and address of the holder of any Mortgage encumbering such Owner's Lot. 11.3. Applicability of Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to reduce the percentage vote that must otherwise be obtained under the Declaration, Bylaws, or North Carolina law for any of the acts set out in this Section. 11.4. Amendments by Boar d. Should the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, HUD, or VA subsequently delete any of their respective requirements which necessitate the provisions of this Section or make any such requirements less stringent, the Board, without approval of the Owners, may cause an amendment to this Section to be recorded to reflect such changes. 11.5 Subordination of the Lien on an Owner's Property to Mortgages or Deeds of the Trust. The lien on an Owner's property of the Assessments provided for herein shall be 29 (Page 31 of 47) IBKO12407PGO1051 absolutely subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed ' upon any Lot or Dwelling subject to Assessment. The subordination shall not relieve any Lot or Dwelling from liability for any Assessments now or hereafter due and payable, but the lien thereby created shall be secondary and subordinate to any first mortgage or deed of trust as if said ' lien were a second mortgage, irrespective of when such first mortgage or deed of trust was executed and recorded. The sale or transfer of a Lot or Dwelling shall not affect any lien for Assessments. However, the sale or transfer of a Lot or Dwelling that is subject to a first mortgage or first deed of trust, pursuant to a foreclosure thereof or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such Assessments as to the payment thereof which became due prior to such sale or transfer. The extinguished Assessments shall be ' collectable as a common expense from all Owners in the Community. No such sale or transfer shall relieve a Lot or Dwelling from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due, or from the lien thereof, but the liens provided for herein shall continue to be subordinate to the lien ' of any such first mortgage or first deed of trust. ARTICLE XII. EASEMENTS 12.1. Easements for Encroachment and Overhang.

The easements, conditions and restrictions herein reserved and established for the benefit of the Declarant, the Association and others. b. Delegation.
