the authority to include the costs for procuring utility services and for installing utility
equipment,facilities and infrastructure (identified in Article XII,Section 2 below)in the budget
and to levy assessments to defray these costs.
Additional lands added under Article X below may require greater or lesser expenditures
for construction,maintenance,repair,replacement or administration.Therefore,the
Supplemental Declaration with respect to the additional property shall specify the amount of the
assessments required from the Owners of such additional lands.
Section 2.Type of Assessments.Each Owner of any Residence,and the Owner's
successor in interest where applicable,by acceptance of a deed thereto,whether or not such
obligations shall be so expressed in such deed,covenants and agrees to pay to the Association:

fines as may be imposed in accordance with the terms of this Declaration and Bylaws.
- 7-
Section 3.Creation of Lien and Personal Obligation for Assessment.All
assessments,together with late charges determined by the Board,interest at a rate equal to the
lesser of ten percent (10%)or the maximum lawful rate,costs,and reasonable attorney's fees
actually incurred shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the Residence
against which each assessment is made.Each such assessment,together with late charges,
interest,costs,and reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred,shall also be the personal
obligation of the Person who was the Owner of a Residence at the time of assessment,and his or
her grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for such portion thereof as may be due and
payable at the time of conveyance;provided,however,the liability of a grantee for the unpaid
assessments of its grantor shall not apply to any first Mortgage holder taking title through
foreclosure proceedings or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
General Assessments and other assessments,unless otherwise provided by the Board,
shall be paid in annual,semi-annual,quarterly,or monthly installments as the Board determines.
Section 4.Budget.It shall be the duty of the Board to prepare a budget covering the
estimated costs of operating the Association dwing the coming year,which may include a capital
contribution or reserve.
The Board shall cause the budget and the assessments to be levied against each Residence
for the following year to be delivered to each Owner at least thirty (30)days prior to the end of
the current fiscal year.The Board may not,without both the written consent of Declarant (so
long as Declarant has an option unilaterally to subject additional property to this Declaration as
provided in Article X hereof)and the vote or written assent of at least a Majority of the total
Association Membership entitled to vote thereon,impose a General Assessment per Residence
which is more than one hundred twenty percent (120%)of the General Assessment for the
preceding fiscal year.In the event the Board fails for any reason to provide a new budget for the
succeeding year,then,and until such time as a budget shall have been determined,as provided
herein,the budget in effect for the current year shall continue for the succeeding year.
Section 5(a).General Assessments.General Assessments shall be levied for
Association Expenses determined by the Board to benefit all Owners and Occupants.General
Assessments shall be allocated among all Residences in the Development obligated to pay same
under this Declaration.The Board may adjust the General Assessment only as provided in
Article IV,Section 4,above.
Section 5(b).Special Assessments.In addition to the other assessments authorized
herein,the Board may levy Special Assessments in any year.However,no Special Assessment
may be levied against a particular Residence if in doing so the total amount of Special
Assessments levied against that particular Residence in the then current fiscal year,including the
Special Assessment then being considered by the Board,would exceed the total amount of the
then current General Assessment in place for said Residence.Any Special Assessment that
would cause the amount of Special Assessments allocable to any Residence to exceed this
limitation shall be effective only if approved by a Majority vote of the total Association
Membership entitled to vote thereon and,so long as the Declarant has an option unilaterally to
subject additional property to this Declaration as provided in Article X hereof,the consent of
- 8 -
Declarant.Special Assessments shall be paid as detennined by the Board,and the Board may
permit Special Assessments to be paid in installments extending beyond the fiscal year in which
the Special Assessment is imposed.
Section 6.Lien for Assessments.All sums assessed against property subject to this
Declaration pursuant to this Declaration,together with late charges,interest,costs,and
reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred,as provided herein,shall be secured by a lien on
such property in favor of the Association.Such lien shall be superior to aU other liens and
encumbrances on such property,except for (a)liens of ad valorem taxes assessed and recorded
prior to Assessment Liens;and (b)liens for all sums unpaid on a first Mortgage.
All other Persons acquiring liens or encumbrances on any property subject to this
Declaration after this Declaration shall have been recorded in the records of the Office of the
Circuit Clerk,Pulaski County,Arkansas shall be deemed to consent that such liens or
encumbrances shall be inferior to future liens for assessments,as provided herein,whether or not
prior consent is specifically set forth in the instruments creating such liens or encumbrances.
Section 7.Effect of Nonpayment of Assessment,Remedies of the Association.Any
assessments which are not paid in full by the date specified by the Board ("due date")shall be
considered delinquent.Any delinquent assessment shall incur a one time late charge of twenty-
five dollars ($25.00),or such other amount as the Board may from time to time determine.If the
assessment is not paid when due,a lien,as herein provided,shall attach and,in addition,the lien
shall include the late charge,interest on the principal amount due,and all costs of collection,
including reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred whether by in-house or outside counsel,
and any other amounts provided or pennitted by law.
In the event that the assessment remains unpaid after ninety (90)days,the Association
may,as the Board shall detennine,institute suit to collect such amounts and to foreclose its lien.
Each Owner,by acceptance of a deed or as a party to any other type of a conveyance,vests in the
Association and its agents the right and power to bring all actions against him or her,personally,
for the collection of such charges as a debt or to foreclose the aforesaid lien in the same manner
as other liens for the improvement of real property.The lien provided for in this Article shall be
in favor of the Association and shall be for the benefit of all other Owners.The Association,
acting through the Board and on behalf of the Owners,shall have the power to bid at any
foreclosure sale or to acquire,hold,lease,mortgage,or convey foreclosed property.No Owner
may waive or otherwise exempt himself from liability for the assessments provided for herein,
including,by way of illustration,but not limitation,by non-use of Common Property,
abandonment of the Residence or by appointment of a Designee.No diminution or abatement of
assessment or set-off shall be claimed or allowed by reason of any alleged failure of the
Association or Board to take some action or perfonn some function required to be taken or
perfonned by the Association or Board under this Declaration or the By-Laws,or for
inconvenience or discomfort arising from the making of repairs or improvements which are the
responsibility of the Association,or from any action taken to comply with any law,ordinance,or
with any order or directive of any municipal or other government authority,the obligation to pay
assessments being a separate and independent covenant on the part of the O\\-ner.
-9-
All payments shall be applied first to costs and attorney's fees,then to any late charges,
then to interest and then to delinquent principal.
Section 8.Date of Commencement of Assessments.A Residence shall become subject
to assessment hereunder on the first day of the month following the month of conveyance by
Declarant to O""l1er.
The first General Assessment shall be prorated according to the number of months
remaining in the fiscal year during which the Residence became subject to assessment.
Section 9.Specific Assessments.The Board shall have the power to specifically assess
pursuant to this Section as,in its discretion,it shall deem appropriate.Failure of the Board to
exercise its authority under this Section shall not be grounds for any action against the

discharge properly such Owner's obligations with regard to the maintenance,repair or
replacement of items for which such Owner is responsible hereunder;or (b)that the need for
maintenance,repair,or replacement,which is the responsibility of the Association hereunder,is
caused through the willful or negligent act of an Owner,his or her family,guests,lessees,
tenants,invitees,or designees,the Association may perform the repair,replacement or
maintenance.Except in the event of any emergency situation,the Association shall give the
Owner or Designee 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.Except in the case of emergency,the

maintenance,repair,or replacement,or,in the event that such maintenance,repair,or
replacement is not capable of completion within said ten (10)day period,to commence such
work which shall be completed within a reasonable time.If the Owner does not perform the
work or commence the work as required herein,the Association may then do so.If the

cost and expense,and all costs shall be treated as a Specific Assessment against the Owner and
the Residence owned by the Owner.

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 paragraph,means repairing or
restoring the property to substantially the same condition and location that existed before the fire

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 one
hundred and twenty (120)days.No Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in the
determination of whether damage or destruction shall be repaired or reconstructed.

without the necessity of a vote of the Members,levy a Special Assessment against all Owners for
the difference needed to finish repair or reconstruction.Additional assessments may be made in
like manner at any time during or following the completion of any repair or reconstruction.If

improvements are not repaired or reconstructed,such excess shall be deposited to the benefit of
the Association.
In the event that it should be determined by the Association in the manner described
above that the damages 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 Development in a neat and attractive
condition.
Section 3.Property Insured by Owners:Damage and Destruction.By virtue of

Each individual Owner further agrees that in the event of a partial loss of damage and
destruction resulting in less than total destruction,the individual Owner shall proceed promptly
to repair or reconstruct the damaged structure in a manner consistent with the original
construction.In the event that the structure is totally destroyed and the individual Owner
determines not to rebuild or reconstruct,the Owner shall clear the Residence of all debris and
return it to substantially the natural state in which it existed prior to the beginning of
construction.
Section 4.Insurance Deductible.The deductible for any casualty insurance policy
carried by the Association shall,in the event of damage or destruction,be allocated among the
