a Notice of Assessment, as provided in Section 1356 of
the Civil Code of California. The Notice oi Assessment

Section 2924, et seq., or through judicial foreclosure.
The sale of paid interest in the project must, be held,
or legal action to enforce a lien must be instituted,
within one (1) year from the recording of the Notice of
Default, or said lien shall be deemed void and of no
effect. If in faut any such sale is held, the
Association, any Owner or Owners, or any lender, may
purchase thereat. If any legal action is filed as

certificate setting forth the satisfaction of such
claim and release of such lien, upon payment of actual
expenses incurred and a reasonable attorneys' fee, by
such defaulting Owner.
(c) Each Owner does hereby waive, to the
extent of any liens created pursuant to this Article,
28.
the benefit of any exemption laws o*. the State of
''.-.lifornia in effect at the time any installment of any
assessment is due or lien imposed.
(d) Any Owner who sells his Lot in good
faith and for value with the consent of tiie mortgagee
srhall be relieved of the obligation to pay maintenance
charges accruing from and after the date of recordation

that such Owner shall be and remain personally liable
for any maintenance charges due and unpaid as of the
date of recordation of said deed.
(e) In addition to the right of such lien,
the remaining Owners, or any of them, or any member of
the Board of Directors acting on behalf of all the
Owners, shall be entitled to bring any legal or
equitable action ayainst any Owner who shall breach or
who shall be in default in the performance of any of

unsold Lot.
Section 10. Subordination of the Lien to
Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for herein
shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage.
Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment
lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to
mortgage foreclosure or any 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 or
transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any
assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien
thereof.
No breach of the covenants and restrictions
created by this instrument shall defeat or render invalid
the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith
and for value, but all of said covenants and restrictions
shall be binding upon and effective against any owner whose
title is derived through foreclosure or trustee's sale, or
through a deed given in lieu thereof. No auch owner so
deriving title shall be responsible for any obligations
accruing hereunder prior to the time such owner acquired
title.
