attorneys’ fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the Parcel against
which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with interest, cost of
collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was
the Owner of such Parcel at the time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for the
delinquent assessments shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
14. PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENTS: The assessments levied by the Association shall be used
exclusively to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents in the Properties and
for maintenance of the roadways within the Subdivision.
15. EFFECT OF NONPAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS; REMEDIES OF THE ASSOCIATION:

otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for hereby by non-use of the roadways or
abandonment of his Parcel. In any action taken against the Owner to collect delinquent assessments,
the Owner shall be obligated to pay all costs and all attorney fees incurred by the Association.

or from the lien thereon.
17. DURATION; AMENDMENT: The Protective Restrictions shall be binding on all Parcels of the
Property and the owners thereof for a period of 25 years from the date of the original recording

by written agreement of record owners of 75% (Changed to 67% by Senate Bill 05-100 June 2005)
of Units at any time, if such amendments are recorded in the appropriate county recorder’s office.

or by other causes of action available to any owner of a Parcel, or to the Declarant or its successors
and assigns. Invalidation of any Protective Restriction by judgment or court order shall in no way
affect any other Protective Restriction, and all other Protective Restrictions shall remain unmodified,
in full force and effect.

Protective Restrictions, the party prevailing in such action shall be paid by the non-prevailing party
all costs and attorney’s fees incurred in such action.
