in the subdivision do not have the right to review, pass an or interfere with such Lots
rearrangement, as such rights shall be exclusively that of the Declarant or any successors or
assigns to whom the Declarant may expressly have transferred such rights, but the Owner of any

owner of each subdivided portion. The assessment oh the subdivided portions for each Lot
Owner is based on the percentage of acreage acquired from the subdivided Lot.

successors or assigns, and no other, the right to grant a variance to the Lot Owner or in the case
of a Lot owned by Declarant, the Declarant may change said setback lines to meet such .

thereof as are hereinafter provided, continue as a lien on the Lot(s) which shall bind such Lot(s)
in the hands of the then Owner, his heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and
assigns. The personal obligation of the then Owner to pay such assessment or reimbursement,

enforce assessment obligations as permitted by law, including without limitation, by filing and
foreclosing a claim of lien in accordance with the procedures set forth in N.C.G.S. §47F-3-116,
and/or by bringing an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the
assessment. Each Owner, by his acceptance of a deed to a Lot, expressly grants to and vests in
the Association or its agents the right and power to bring such action or foreclosure. Foreclosure
may be accomplished in an action brought in the name of the Association in the manner that a
foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust would be brought under Chapter 45 of the North
Carolina General Statues, or as otherwise expressly provided by law, and each Owner grants to
the Association a power of sale in connection with any such charge or lien. The Association,
acting on behalf of the Owners, shall have the power to bid on any Lot and to acquire and hold,

for assessments upon a majority vote upon good cause shown.

reimbursement) provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or
mortgages now or hereafter Olaced upon any Lot held by a commercial or savings bank, trust
company, credit union, industrial loan association, insurance company, pension fund, or business
trust, including but not limited to a real estate investment trust, any other lender regularly
engaged in financing the purchase, construction, or improvement of real estate, or any assignee
of loans made by such lender, or any private or governmental institution or agency which has
insured the loan of any such lender, or any combination of any of the foregoing entities;
provided, however, that a sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or
pursuant to any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure, shall not relieve such Lot from liability for any
assessments which thereafter become due, nor form the lien of any subsequent assessment. Said
assessment liens, however, shall be subordinate to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages
hereafter placed upon the Properties subject to assessment.
Section 8. Exempt Property_. All Common Area subject to this Declaration shall be
exempted from the assessments, charges and liens created herein.
ARTICLE VilI.

property owner shall report the name of the subdivision in any application pertaining to said

(b) Any damage or destruction to the Common Area shall be repaired or
reconstructed unless the Voting Members representing at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the

violation shall not be less than $50.00'

continued without further hearing until the delinquency is paid if imposed pursuant to §47F-3-
