The failure of the Board to timely fix the Regular Assessments under this Declaration shall not constitute a waiver by the Board of its rights under this Declaration to fix the Regular Assessments or a release of any Owner from the obligation to pay Assessments required by this Declaration, and the Regular Assessments for the prior calendar year shall be deemed the Regular Assessments for the new calendar year until such time as the Regular Assessments for such new calendar year are established. 600000.1 USD T8483-006/l-16-07/eb5/sU -32- 12268 8.4.3 RevisedJBLegular Assessment.

If, at the end of the calendar year, the Assessments collected exceed the Common Expenses, the Board may either return excess Assessments to the Owners on the same basis as such Assessments are paid or apply such excess towards the Assessments next becoming due until all such excess Assessments have been used for the payment of Common Expenses. 8.4.4 Allocation. An Owner's share of the Regular Assessments shall be calculated by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Net Acreage of such Owner's Lot, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Net Acreage of all Lots included in the Property, as adjusted from time to time as a result of annexation pursuant to Article 12. 8.4.5 Commencement of Regular Assessments. Regular Assessments shall commence, as to all Lots within the Property initially subject to this Declaration, on the first (1st) day of the month following the conveyance of the first Lot by Declarant to an Owner other than Declarant; provided, however, that Declarant may, at its option, delay the start of Regular Assessments so long as Declarant performs all maintenance and other obligations of the Association at its sole cost and expense.

In addition, interest shall accrue on the delinquent amount as provided in Section 10.4.

The Declarant or the Association shall have the right to enforce, by all appropriate legal and equitable proceedings, all conditions, covenants, restrictions, reservations, liens, and charges now or hereafter imposed by the provisions of this Declaration.

The right to collect and enforce Assessments is vested in the Board acting for and on behalf of the Association. The Board or its authorized representative, can enforce the obligations of the Owners to pay Assessments provided for in this Declaration by commencement and maintenance of a suit at law or in equity, or the Board may perfect a lien as described in Section 10.3.2 and foreclose such lien by judicial proceedings or through the exercise of the power of sale as described in Section 10.3.3. Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments may be maintained without foreclosing or waiving the lien rights. 600000.11/SD T8483-006/]-16-07/ebs/sll -36- 12272 10.3.2 Creation of Lien. If there is a failure to pay any Assessment within thirty (30) days after the due date, the delinquent amounts, together with late charges, interest, costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Board or its authorized representatives in the collection of said delinquent amounts, shall be a lien against such Lot upon the Recordation of a notice of delinquent assessment as provided in California Civil Code Section 1367. The notice of delinquent assessment shall not be Recorded unless: (a) the Board or its authorized representative has delivered to the delinquent Owner(s), at least fifteen (15) days prior to Recordation of the notice, a written notice of default and demand for payment; and (b) the delinquency has not been cured within said 15-day period. 10.3.3 Notice of Default: Foreclosure. After at least fifteen (15) days after Recordation of the notice of delinquent assessment, the Board or its authorized representative may Record a notice of default and can cause the Lot, with respect to which a notice of default has been Recorded, to be sold in the same manner as a sale is conducted under California Civil Code Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c applicable to the exercise of powers of sale in deeds of trust, or through judicial foreclosure, or in any other manner permitted by law. However, as a condition precedent to the holding of any such sale under Section 2924c, appropriate publication shall be made. In connection with any sale under Section 2924c, the Board is authorized to appoint its attorney, any officer or director, or any tide insurance company authorized to do business in California as trustee for purposes of conducting the sale.

The Association, acting on behalf of the Owners; shall have the power to bid upon the Lot at the foreclosure sale and to acquire, hold, lease, Mortgage and convey the Lot. 10.3.4 Subordination of the Lien to First Mortgages. The lien of any Assessment shall be subordinate and subject only to the lien of any First Mortgage now or hereafter placed upon any Lot subject to assessment which has been made in good faith and for value and Recorded prior to the Recordation of any such assessed lien, and the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of such a prior First Mortgage 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 lien rights for any Assessments thereafter becoming due nor from the lien of any subsequent Assessment. Where the First Mortgagee or other purchaser of a Lot obtains title to the same as a result of foreclosure, such purchaser and his successors or assigns shall not be liable for Assessments chargeable to such Lot which became due prior to the acquisition of title to such Lot by such purchaser. 10.4 Interest. All Assessments and other monetary amounts which are not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, commencing thirty (30) days after the assessment or other monetary amount becomes due until paid in full. 10.5 Attorneys' Fees.

The remedies herein provided to enforce this Declaration shall be cumulative, and no such remedy is exclusive. No delay or failure by Declarant, the Board, Association or any Owner to exercise any such remedy shall, under any circumstance, constitute a waiver of the right to enforce such covenant thereafter. 10.7 Effect of Foreclosure. If any Lot subject to a lien created by any provision hereof shall also be subject to the lien of a bona fide Mortgage: (a) the foreclosure of any lien created hereunder shall not operate to affect or impair the lien of such Mortgage; and (b) the foreclosure of the lien of such Mortgage, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such Mortgage or a sale under a power of sale included in such Mortgage (such events being hereinafter referred to as "Events of Foreclosure") shall not operate to affect or impair the lien hereof, except that any person (including the Mortgagee) who obtains an interest through any of the Events of Foreclosure, and his successors in interest, shall take title free of the lien and personal obligation for such charges as shall have accrued up.to the time of the applicable Event of Foreclosure; provided however, the Lot(s) affected by the Event of Foreclosure subject to the lien hereof and the person taking title to the Lot(s) shall be personally liable for all charges hereunder that shall accrue during such Person's ownership of any Lot commencing with the applicable Event of Foreclosure.
