The personal obligations of the then Owner to pay such assessment, however, shall remain his personal obligation for the statutory period and shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. If any assessment, or installment thereof, levied against a Lot or Living Unit remains unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days or longer, it shall constitute a lien against that Lot or Living Unit when filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of Carteret County in the manner provided therefor by Article 8 of Chapter 44 of the General Statutes of North Carolina. The Association's lien may be foreclosed in like manner as a mortgage on real estate under power of sale under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General Statutes BOOK 'I 11 10 of North Carolina with the President of the Association deemed to hold the power of sale. Fees, charges, late charges, fines, interest and collection costs including attorneys fees charged pursuant to this Declaration are enforceable as assessments.

The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first deed of trust now or hereafter placed upon the properties subject to assessment; provided, however, that such subordination shall apply only to the assessments which have become due and payable prior to a sale or transfer of such property pursuant to a decree of foreclosure, a deed of foreclosure under power of sale or any other transfer in lieu of foreclosure. Such sale or transfer shall not relieve such property from liability for any assessments which thereafter become due, nor from the lien of any such subsequent assessment. 5.12 Exempt Property. The following property subject to this Declaration shall be exempted from the assessments, charges and liens created herein: (a) all properties to the extent of any easement or other interest therein dedicated and accepted by the local public authority and devoted to public use; (b) all Common Properties as defined in Article I, hereof.
