Each Owner of a Lot including Declarant by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) annual assessments or charges and (2) special assessments, such assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. The annual and special assessments, together with interest, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each such assessment is made. The lien may be enforced by foreclosure of the defaulting Owner's Lot by the Association in like manner as a mortgage on real property. In any such foreclosure the Owner shall be required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceedings, including reasonable attorney's fees. The Board of Directors or managing agent of the Association may prepare a written notice setting forth the amount of such unpaid indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the Lot and a description of the Lot. Such a notice shall be signed by one of the Board of Directors or by the managing agent of the Association and may be recorded in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado. The lien for each unpaid assessment shall attach to each Lot at the beginning of each assessment period and shall continue to be a lien against such Lot until paid. The costs and expenses for filing any notice of lien shall be added to the assessment for the Lot against which it is filed and collected as part and parcel thereof. Each assessment, together with interest, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, shall also be the personal obligation of each person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when the assessments became due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall not pass to such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. The Association's lien on each Lot for assessments shall be superior to any homestead exemption now or hereafter provided by the laws of the State of Colorado or any exemption now or hereafter provided by the laws of the United States. The acceptance of a deed subject to this Declaration shall constitute a waiver of the homestead and any other exemption as against said assessment lien.Section 2 Purpose of Assessments. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation, health and safety of the residents of the Properties, for the repair, replacement, and maintenance of certain landscaped rights-of-way and medians within or adjacent to public or private streets within or abutting the Properties which are the responsibility of the Association to maintain, and for the improvement, repair, replacement and maintenance of the Community Property and the appurtenances and improvements thereto and thereon, including without limitation, maintenance of any recreational facilities or amenities located upon the Community Property, maintenance of landscaping located on the Community Property, maintenance of greenbelt areas within the Community Property, maintenance of any irrigation system within the Community Property, pruning trees and hedges located upon the Community Property, removal of snow on Community Property, maintaining all fences, lighting facilities and entryway signs located within the Community Property, and maintaining certain publicly dedicated rights-of-way and certain underground drainage systems and pipes located therein and easements located within the Community Property. Section 3 Maximum Annual Assessment. Until commencement of the second annual assessment period, the maximum annual assessment shall be Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per "Assessment Unit", subject to the assessment rate on certain Lots owned by Declarant as provided in Section 6 of this IV. For purposes of this Declaration, an "Assessment Unit" shall mean a Lot. (a) Effective with commencement of the second and each subsequent annual assessment period, the maximum annual assessment shall be increased effective each annual assessment year in conformance with the rise, if any, of the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Washington D.C., for All Items and Major Group Figures for All Urban Consumers (1967=100), for the one-year period ending with the preceding month of December, This annual increase in the maximum annual assessment shall occur automatically upon the commencement of each annual assessment year without the necessity of any action being taken with respect thereto by the Association. In the event the aforesaid Consumer Price Index is not published, for whatever reason, then the increase in the maximum annual assessment, as provided herein, shall be calculated by using a substantially comparable index designated by the Board of Directors of the Association.Section 4 Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual assessments authorized in this Article IV, the Association may levy, 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 any construction, reconstruction, repair, or replacement of any capital improvement upon the Community Property, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, or for the funding of any operating deficit incurred by the Association. Any such assessment shall have the assent of two-third (2/3) of the votes of the Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose and shall be levied equally against each Assessment Unit. Section 5 Notice and Quorum for Any Action Authorized Under Sections 3 and 4. Written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under Sections 3 or 4 of this Article shall be sent to all Members not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days in advance of the meeting. The first such meeting called shall require the presence of Member or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, other meetings may be called subject to the same notice requirement, and the required quorum at each such subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than 60 days following the preceding meeting. Section 6 Uniform Rate of Assessment. Annual and special assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Assessment Units sufficient to meet the expected needs of the Association. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Declaration, the rate of annual and special assessments set for the Lots owned by Declarant which are neither leased, nor rented, nor otherwise residentially or commercially occupied shall be fixed at one-quarter (1/4) of the assessment rate for the other Lots; provided, however, that at the time any Lot owned by Declarant and is leased, rented or otherwise residentially or commercially occupied, that Lot shall be assess at the uniform rate of assessment for privately owned Lots. In the event that, prior to the termination of the Declarant's reserved right to appoint the Board of Directors of the Association, assessments for annual common expenses, exclusive of those amounts held by the Association for an adequate reserve fund and for working capital, fail to equal or exceed the actual expenses incurred by the Association during any particular annual assessment period because of such partial Declarant assessment, then Declarant shall pay a sufficient amount, up to the amount of full parity on such assessment, to the Association to meet any such shortfall, provided that Declarant shall have no obligation for any such shortfall caused by expenditures for capital improvements, or by any decrease in assessments, including without limitation, the levying of any assessment in an amount less than the maximum for any common expense assessment period, which amount is established subsequent to the termination of the Declarant's reserved right to appoint the Board of Directors of the Association, unless the same has previously been approved in writing by Declarant. In the event there is more than one Declarant, then, subject to the conditions hereinabove stated, each such Declarant shall pay a pro rata share of the amount necessary to meet each such shortfall in Association assessments, up to the amount of full parity on such assessments, such pro rata share to be based on the amount of assessments due at such lesser rate for Lots owned by each Declarant, compared with the amount of assessments due at such lesser rate from the Declarant during the applicable annual assessment period. Section 7 Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments. The initial annual assessment shall commence on the first day of the month following the leasing, renting or other residential occupancy of the first Residence within the Properties and the second and each subsequent annual assessment period shall correspond with the fiscal year of the Association. The annual assessments may be made due and payable in twelve monthly installments per annum or such other frequently as the Board of the Association shall determine and shall be payable on such dates as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association, provided that the first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of months in the first annual assessment year. Any Owner purchasing a Lot between installment due dates shall pay a pro rata share of the last installment due. Section 8 Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments; Remedies of the Association. Any assessment or portion thereof which is not paid when due shall be delinquent. Any assessment or portion thereof which is not paid within ten (10) days after the due date shall bear interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the Association may assess a monthly late charge thereon in such reasonable amounts as determined from time to time by the Association. The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or foreclose the lien against such Owner's Lot and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest and late charges on the assessment, as above provided, and a reasonable attorney's fee to be fixed by the court, together with the costs of the action. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Community Property or abandonment of his Lot. Section 9 Working Capital. The Association or Declarant shall require the first Owner of each Lot (other than Declarant), who purchases that Lot from Declarant, to make a non-refundable contribution on a one time only basis to the Association for a working capital fund in an amount equal to two (2) times the current monthly installment of the annual common expense assessment effective at the time of conveyance of the Lot. All such contributions shall be held in a segregated account by the Association for its use and benefit as it deems desirable, including but not limited to the use to insure that the Board of Directors of the Association will have cash available to meet unforeseen expenditures, or to acquire additional equipment or services deemed necessary or desirable by the board. Such deposit shall not relieve an Owner from making the regular payment of assessments as the same become due. Upon the transfer of his Lot, an Owner shall be entitled to a credit from his transferee in an amount equal to the unused portion of the first private Owner's payment into the working capital fund which remains in the fund. Section 10 Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for herein, including without limitation any fees, costs, late charges or interest which may be levied by the Association in connection with unpaid assessments, shall be subordinate to the lien of any First Mortgage. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the liens for said assessment charges except that sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to foreclosure of any such First Mortgage or any such executory land sales contract, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall extinguish the lien of assessments charges which became due prior to any such sale or transfer, or foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided however, that any such delinquent assessment charges, including interest, late charges, costs and reasonable attorneys fees, which are extinguished as provided herein may be reallocated and assessed to all Assessment Units as a common expense. No such sale, transfer, foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure shall relieve any Lot from liability for any assessment charges thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien thereof; provided, however, that in the event of foreclosure of a First Mortgage or the taking of a deed in lieu thereof, such First Mortgagee shall not be liable for unpaid assessments or other charges which accrue prior to the acquisition of title to the Lot in question by such First Mortgagee. ARTICLE V INSURANCESection 1 Insurance on Community Property. The Association shall maintain insurance covering all insurable improvements located or constructed upon the Community Property.

The amount of such assessment shall be equal to the amount by which the cost of repair or reconstruction exceeds the sum of the insurance proceeds available and shall be assessed equally for each Assessment Unit. The assessment provided for herein shall be a debt of each Owner and a lien on such Owner's Lot and the improvements thereon, and shall be enforced and collected as provided in Article IV hereof. Section 3 Association Insurance as Primary Coverage. If at the time of any loss under any policy which is in the name of the Association, there is other insurance in the name of any Owner and such Owner's policy covers the same property or loss, or any portion thereof, which is covered by such Association policy, such Association policy shall be primary insurance not contributing with any of such other insurance.
