The annual and special assessments together with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the property against which each Assessment is made. Each such Assessment, together with such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such property at the time the Assessment becomes payable.

Section 2. PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT.

The Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting the recreation, health, safety, welfare and beautification of the residences in The Properties and other Fox Run Units and in particular for the improvement and maintenance of properties, services, and facilities devoted to this purpose and related to the use and enjoyment of the Common Properties and of the homes situated upon The Properties and other Fox Run Units including but not limited to the payment of taxes and insurance thereon and repair, replacement, and addition thereto, and for the cost of utilities, labor, equipment, materials, management and supervision thereof. The Assessments shall not be specifically limited to the Common Properties, but shall extend to and include the right to maintain and repair the streets and access ways and the lighting, traffic signals and signs pertaining to the Properties and other Fox Run Units. The cost, if any, of the operation and maintenance of detention ponds and drainage systems, sidewalks, street lights and lighting regardless of the location within The Properties and other Fox Run Units and the proximity to the individual Lots shall be borne by the Homeowners Association, it being the intent of this requirement to insure the safety, enjoyment and security of the entire Properties and other Fox Run Units.

Section 3.

The Developer shall have the right to determine and set the annual Assessment for Owners of Lots within the Properties during the first year from and after the recording of this Declaration. The Assessment shall be a sum reasonably necessary as deemed by the Developer to defray the expenses of the Association for the first year. From and after the expiration of the first year, the Assessment may be adjusted upward or downward as herein provided.

As Developer will incur the initial costs of constructing, building, and installing improvements on the Common Properties and incur most of the initial maintenance costs related thereto before transferring the Common Properties to the Association, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of this Article V, the Developer shall not be required to pay any annual or special Assessment required hereunder or levied by the Association on Lots owned by it.

Section 4. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

In addition to the annual assessments authorized by Section 3 hereof, the Association may levy an annual special Assessment applicable to that year only for the purpose of defraying in whole or in part the cost of any construction or reconstruction, unexpected repair or replacement of a described capital improvement upon the Common Properties including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that any such Assessment shall be approved by the Board of Directors and Members pursuant to the By-Laws of the Association.

Section 5. DATE OF COMMENCEMENT OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS.

The first annual Assessment shall become due and payable on the first day of the month following the lapse of ninety (90) days from the date of the sale of the first Lot in Fox Run, Unit Four. Thereafter as each person or entity becomes a Member, such new Members’ Assessment for the current year shall be a pro-rata part of the annual Assessment and shall be due on the first day of the month following the date such person or entity becomes a Member of the Association. Upon a person or entity’s ceasing to be a Member of the Association, such Member shall not be entitled to any refund of his annual Assessment.

It shall be the duty of the Board of Directors to notify each Owner of any change in the annual Assessment or any special Assessment and the due date of such Assessment. The requirement of notice shall be satisfied if such notice is given by regular deposit in the United States mail to the last known address of each such Owner.

The due date of any special Assessment under Section 4 hereof shall be fixed in the resolution authorizing such Assessment.

Section 6. EFFECT OF NON-PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT. THE PERSONAL OBLIGATION OF THE OWNER; THE LIEN; REMEDIES OF ASSOCIATION.

If the Assessments are not paid on the date when due (being the dates specified in Section 5 hereof), then such Assessment shall become delinquent and shall, together with such interest thereof and cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, thereupon become a continuing lien on the property.

If the Assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the delinquency date, the Assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum, and the Association may bring an action of law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or to foreclose the lien against the property, and there shall be added to the amount of such Assessment the cost of preparing and filing the complaint in such action, and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the Assessment as above provided and a reasonable attorney fee together with the costs of the action.

Section 7. SUBORDINATION OF THE LIEN TO MORTGAGES.

The lien of the Assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon The Properties subject to Assessment; provided, however, that such subordination shall apply only to the Assessments which have become due and payable prior to a sale or transfer of such property pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or any other proceeding in lieu of foreclosure. Such sale or transfer shall not relieve such property from liability for any Assessments thereafter become due nor from the lien of any such subsequent Assessment. An Assessment shall not be subordinate to a mortgage held by a prior Owner who was the Owner at the time such Assessment accrued.
