The assessments levied by the Association shall 13 DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND BILL OF ASSURANCE be used exclusively for the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the residents in the Addition, for the improvement and maintenance of the common areas, for repair and replacement of common areas within the Addition, whether public or private, for insurance, taxes, and other costs and expenses related to, and, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, consistent with the purposes of the Association. The initial annual assessment which may be collected monthly, shall be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Association to commence at such time or times as shall be determined by Board of Directors. From and after the establishment of the initial annual assessment, the amount of the annual assessment may be increased each year by the Board of Directors of the Association by not more than five percent (5%) above the annual assessment for the previous year without the necessity of a vote of the membership. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Association deems it necessary to increase the annual assessment in excess of five percent (5%) over the prior year's annual assessment, a vote of the majority of the members present at a meeting duly called for such purpose shall be required in order that such increased assessment may be charged; provided that, in such event, if the Allottor is at such time, the owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the lots in the addition, the Allottor shall have no more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of eligible votes on such issue. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Board of Directors of the Association shall be empowered to levy, in any assessment year, a special assessment applicable to that year only for the purpose of deferring and paying, in whole or in part, the costs of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement located upon and situated in the common areas, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided, however, that any such assessment shall have the assent of sixty-five percent (65%) of the members present, voting in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for such purpose. Any annual and special assessments as hereinbefore described shall be uniform for all Lots within the Addition and may be collected on a monthly basis. The annual assessments hereinbefore described, once levied, shall commence as to each Lot upon the first day of the month following the date of sale of each such Lot. The first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year and the amount thereof shall be prorated. The Board of Directors of the Association shall fix the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot at least 30 days in advance of each annual assessment period. Written notice of the annual assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto. The due date shall be established by the Board of Directors of the Association. The Association shall, upon demand, and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid. A properly executed certificate of the Association as to the status of assessment of a Lot is binding upon the Association as of the date of its issuance. (d) Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments and Remedies. Any assessment not paid within 30 days after the due date thereof as established and fixed by the Board of Directors of the Association shall bear interest from the due date at the maximum lawful rate. The Association may, upon such default, bring an action at law against the Owner or Owners personally obligated to pay 14 DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND BILL OF ASSURANCE the same, or foreclose the lien of the assessment against the property. The Owner may not waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments herein provided by non-use of the common area or abandonment of his Lot. The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage. The sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien; provided, however, that the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to any mortgage foreclosure or proceeding in lieu thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof. ARTICLE XIX ADDITIONAL PROPERTY The Allottor may, but shall not be obligated to, develop additional adjoining tracts (hereinafter referred to as the "Additional Phases") in a fashion consistent with the development of the hereinbefore described lands. ARTICLE XX RIGHT TO ENFORCE The restrictions, covenants and provisions herein set forth shall run with the lots platted hereby and shall bind the present owner, their heirs, successors and assigns and any person, natural or artificial, hereinafter owning any of the lots platted hereby. Allottor and any owner of any of the lots platted hereby including any Additional Phases shall have the right to sue for and obtain an injunction, prohibitive or mandatory, to prevent the breach or to enforce the observance of, the restrictions above set forth, in addition to any ordinary legal action for damages. The failure of Allottor or any owner of any of the lots platted hereby to enforce any of the restrictions hereby set forth at the time of its violation, shall, in no event, be deemed to be a waiver of the right to do so thereafter. ARTICLE XXI MODIFICATION OF RESTRICTIONS Notwithstanding any provision, restriction or covenant herein contained to the contrary, so long as Allottor is the owner of fifty-one percent (51 %) of the land in this Addition including lands adjacent to this Phase I of the Addition, owned by Allotor, and included in the overall preliminary plat of the Addition filed with the Planning Commission of the City of Little Rock, then any and all of the covenants, provisions and restrictions set forth herein may be amended, modified, extended, changed or canceled, in whole or in part, by a written instrument signed and acknowledged solely by the Allottor. Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision, restriction or covenant herein contained to 15 DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND BILL OF ASSURANCE the contrary, any and all of the covenants, provisions and restrictions set forth herein may be amended, modified, extended, changed or canceled, in whole or in part, by a written instrument signed and acknowledged by at least fifty (50%) percent of the owners of the Lots, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, any such amendment, modification, extension, change or cancellation, in order to be effective and enforceable, must be approved and consented to in writing by Allottor regardless of whether or not Allottor owns any lots platted hereby, such approval to be in the sole discretion of the Allottor. The provisions of any such instrument so executed shall be binding from and after the date it is duly filed for record in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Each covenant, restriction and provision in this Bill of Assurance, unless expressly provided otherwise, shall remain in full force and effect until January 1, 2025. ARTICLE XXII ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT Allottor expressly reserves the right to assign in writing the Allottor's rights and obligations hereunder to another person, natural or artificial; provided, however, such other person shall only succeed to the rights and obligations of the Allottor upon recordation of such an assignment executed by the Allottor which expressly and specifically assigns the Allottor's rights and obligations hereunder and a conveyance of the land platted hereby will not be deemed such an assignment to the purchaser thereof. Otherwise the personal representatives, heirs and successors of the Allottor shall automatically be bound by and shall succeed to the rights, duties and obligations of the Allottor. ARTICLE XXIII EXTENSION All covenants for which extension is not otherwise provided in this instrument shall automatically be extended for successive periods of ten (10) years each, unless modified, terminated or canceled as provided herein. ARTICLE XXIV SEPARABILITY Invalidation of any restriction set forth herein, or any part thereof by an Order, Judgment or Decree of any court, or otherwise, shall not invalidate or affect any of the other restrictions, or any part thereof as set forth herein, but they shall remain in full force and effect.
