ARTICLE XITHE ASSOCIATION SECTION 11.01. Membership. Every Owner of a Lot
shall be entitled and required to be a Member of the Association, which Association shall be formed by Declarant. Said membership is appurtenant to the Lot of said Owner and the ownership of the membership for a Lot shall
automatically pass with fee simple title to the Lot. An Owner shall be entitled to one (1) membership for each Lot owned by him. No Person other than an Owner of a Lot may be a Member of the Association and the memberships in the
Association may not be transferred except in connection with the transfer of title to a Lot. SECTION 11.02. Voting Rights. The Association shall have two (2) classes of voting membership: Class A
: Class A Members shall be all of the Owners with the exception of Declarant. Each Class A Member shall be entitled to one (1) vote per Lot for each Lot in The Overlook owned by said Class A Member. When more than one Person owns
any Lot, all such Persons shall be Members, but the vote appurtenant to such Lot shall be exercised as the several Owners among themselves determine and in no event shall more than one (1) vote be cast with respect to any Lot.
Class B: The Class B Member shall be the Declarant. The Class B Member shall be entitled to three (3) votes per Lot for each Lot in The Overlook owned by said Class B Member, provided that
the Class B membership shall cease and be converted to Class A membership on the happening of either of the following events, whichever shall first occur:
(a) One hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which the total votes outstanding in the Class A membership equal the total votes outstanding in the Class B membership; or (b) December 31, 1989.
If the Class B membership has ceased to exist pursuant to subsection (a) above, and other real property is thereafter subjected to this Declaration, the Class B membership shall be reinstated and for purposes of determining the
total number of votes to which the Class B Member is entitled, all Lots then owned by Declarant anywhere in The Overlook shall be counted. SECTION 11.03. Organization and Purpose. The Association is a
nonprofit Colorado corporation created for the purposes, charged with the duties, and invested with the powers prescribed by law or set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or in this Declaration. Neither the Articles
of Incorporation nor Bylaws of the Association shall for any reason be amended or otherwise changed or interpreted so as to be inconsistent with this Declaration. In case of conflict between this Declaration and the Articles of

have a right of action against the Association for failure to comply with the provisions of this Declaration or the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Association or with the decisions of the Association or the
Board thereof made pursuant to such documents; provided, however, that decisions of such bodies may be reversed or altered from time to time. (b) Fines. If any Owner, or any member of his family, or any of his guests,

membership as in Section 11.02 hereof provided shall terminate no later than thirty (30) days after the termination of the Class B membership; shall require approval of the Veterans Administration pursuant to Section 19.11
hereof; and shall specifically state that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in the contract, it shall be subject to this sentence of Section 11.04(c) of the Declaration. In addition to the foregoing, the
Association may obtain, and pay for legal and accounting services necessary or desirable in connection with the operation of The Overlook or the enforcement of this Declaration. The Association may also arrange with others to
furnish lighting, heating, water, trash collection, sewer service, snow removal, landscaping, gardening and other common services to the Courtyard Common Area and, to the extent the Association is responsible therefor under

entity the right to enter upon the Private Cul-de-sacs in The Overlook in order to provide school buses, postal service, trash collection, cable television and similar services. The Association also may permit other Persons to

including but not limited to the hours during which the same shall be open for various uses, restrictions on the size of trucks and vans permitted on the Private Cul-de-sacs and prohibiting the use of lug-treaded and other
vehicles which may in the opinion of the Board damage said Private Cul-de-sacs. The Board may require any Owner to pay the costs of repair of any damage to the Private Cul-de-sacs caused by him or by his family, guests,
employees, agents, licensees, invitees or lessees. The Association also may enact reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of the Private Cul-de-sacs by pedestrians and bicycles, but subject to easements heretofore or
hereafter granted by Declarant. (h) Disputes. The Association through its Board of Directors may settle disputes, disagreements, claims or controversies with or against Declarant, general contractors, subcontractors,
architects and/or engineers relating to or arising from the construction, maintenance or operation of the Courtyard Common Area or matters common to two or more Lots. Further, the Association through its Board of Directors may
settle disputes, disagreements, claims or controversies between any Owners relating to The Overlook or any question of interpretation or application of the provisions of this Declaration or the Bylaws of the Association. (i)
Rules and Regulations. The Association may from time to time adopt, amend and terminate, and Owners shall comply with, such other reasonable rules and regulations governing the use of the Courtyard Common Area, the Lots,
and personal property for common use and covering any or all aspects of its functions hereunder, which rules and regulations shall be consistent with the rights and duties established in this Declaration and shall be uniform
and non-discriminatory. Each Owner, by the acceptance of his deed or other instrument of conveyance or assignment, agrees to accept and be bound by any such adopted rules and regulations.
SECTION 11.05. Specific Duties of the Association. The Association shall have and perform each of the following duties for the benefit of the Members of the Association:
(a) Ownership of Courtyard Common Area. The Association shall accept conveyances from Declarant free and clear of liens of each of the Courtyard Common Areas, after the Private Cul-de-sac within the Courtyard Common
Area has been paved and otherwise constructed in accordance with the Standards of Arapahoe County, Colorado, and it shall thereafter own, operate, maintain and repair the Courtyard Common Area conveyed; provided, however, that
such conveyance of the Private Cul-de-sacs to the Association shall be subject to such easements therein and rights to the use thereof as Declarant shall have heretofore granted or shall hereafter grant, including but not
limited to any easements or rights of use granted to any utility or other company or public, governmental or quasi-governmental entity for utility purposes or for fire and police protection, school buses, postal service, trash
collection, cable television or similar purposes, and such conveyance of the remaining portions of the Courtyard Common Areas shall be subject to reasonable easements, rights-of-way, covenants, restrictions, reservations and
exceptions. The Courtyard Common Area to be conveyed to the Association by Declarant prior to the conveyance of the first Lot is described on Exhibit
II attached hereto. The Association shall maintain said Private Cul-de-sacs in good repair and condition at all times, including the removal of snow from the paved portion thereof as promptly after storms as is reasonable and shall be responsible for the exclusive management, control, operation, maintenance, repair, improvement and replacement of the Courtyard Common Area and all Improvements located thereon (including furnishings and equipment related thereto), and shall keep the same in good, clean, safe, attractive and sanitary condition, order and repair. The cost of such management, operation, maintenance, repair, improvement and replacement shall be borne as provided in Article XII of this Declaration, with the exception that all driveways, bridges, culverts, graveling, grading, snow removal and other facilities and services for the area between the edge of the paved Private Cul-de-sac and a Lot line as are necessary to provide access to that Lot line shall be the equal responsibility of and at the equal expense of those Lot Owners who make use of that access. Any other provision of this Declaration to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as there is a Class B membership pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof, no land or interest in land within any Courtyard Common Area shall be improved by any Improvement, used or occupied except in such manner as shall have been approved by Declarant in its sole and absolute discretion. Such required approval shall extend to the nature and type of use, occupancy and Improvement. Declarant may delegate its right to grant such approvals to the Board. No approval shall be granted which would be in contravention of the zoning then in effect for the area in question.
(b) Landscape Maintenance of Lots. The Association shall be responsible for the exclusive management, control, operation, maintenance, repair, improvement and replacement of the landscaping, plantings, hedges, planted
trees and shrubs and other landscape Improvements located on each Lot and shall keep the same irrigated, free from weeds, free from plants infected with noxious insects or plant diseases which are likely to spread to other
property, and in a good, clean, safe and attractive condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the landscape maintenance obligation of the Association referenced above shall include lawn mowing and raking,
weeding, irrigation, tree and. shrub pruning and trimming and replacement of diseased or dead plantings, trees and shrubs. The Association also shall be responsible for the exclusive management, control, operation, maintenance,
repair and replacement of the sprinkler system providing irrigation for the aforesaid landscape Improvements located on each Lot and shall keep the same in good working order, condition and repair. The cost of such landscape
and sprinkler system maintenance shall be borne as provided in Article XII of this Declaration. (c) Maintenance of Public Sidewalk Area. To the extent that applicable governmental law, rule, or policy now or hereafter
allocates responsibility therefor to the adjacent landowner rather than to the public, the Association shall be responsible for cleaning, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the sidewalks and lawn and other improvements or
landscaping, if any, in the Public Sidewalk Area, including but not limited to lawn mowing and watering and removal of snow from the sidewalks. The cost of such cleaning, maintenance, repair and replacement shall be borne as
provided in Article XII of this Declaration. (d) Assumption of Owners' Maintenance Obligations. If the Board should determine that any maintenance obligation of the Owners relating to snow, ice or trash removal, to
paint, repair, replacement and, care of the exterior of the Dwelling Units or the exterior of other Improvements on the Lots, or to maintenance, repair and replacement of any fences on the Lots set forth in this Declaration
should be assumed by the Association, it shall call a special meeting of Members to consider such decision. Any such special meeting shall comply with the notice and quorum requirements set forth in Section 19.02 hereof. If the
Members, by two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes cast at such meeting, elect to ratify such decision, within sixty (60) days thereafter the Association shall assume said maintenance obligation and the Owners shall be
relieved of the same. Any cost incurred by the Association in performing said maintenance obligation shall be a common expense to be paid by the Owners as provided in Article XII hereof and, accordingly, the Board may increase
the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot and, if necessary, the amount of the maximum annual assessment as of the date the Association assumes said maintenance obligation to cover the cost thereof, without a vote of
the membership. (e) Insurance. The Association shall obtain and keep in full force and effect at all times the insurance coverage outlined in Section 13.01 hereof. The premiums for such insurance shall be a common
expense paid by the Association. (f) Assessments. The Association shall levy against and collect from the Owners annual and special assessments and such other assessments and charges as are authorized in this
Declaration. (g) Enforcement of this Declaration. The Association shall enforce, in its own behalf and in behalf of all Owners, all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Declaration, under an
irrevocable agency (hereby granted) coupled with an interest, as beneficiary of said covenants, conditions and restrictions, and as assignee of Declarant; arid it shall perform all other acts, whether or not anywhere expressly
authorized, as may be reasonably necessary to enforce any of the provisions of this Declaration. (h) Audit. If directed by a vote of the Members at any regular or special meeting, the Association shall provide an audit
by an independent certified public accountant of its accounts and shall make a copy of such audit available to each Member during normal business hours. The cost of any such audit shall be borne as provided in Article XII of
this Declaration. Any Member may at any time and at his own expense cause an audit or an inspection to be made of the books and records of the Association by a certified public accountant provided that such audit or inspection
is made during normal business hours and without unnecessary interference with the operations of the Association. (i) Payment of Taxes. The Association shall pay all real and personal property taxes and other taxes and
assessments levied upon or with respect to any property owned by the Association, to the extent that such taxes and assessments are not levied directly upon the Members. Such taxes and assessments shall constitute part of the
assessments provided for in Article XII hereof. The Association shall have all rights granted by law to contest the legality and the amount of such taxes and assessments. (j)
Availability of Records and Current Copies of Documents. The Association shall make available to Owners, prospective purchasers, prospective Mortgagees and existing holders, insurers and guarantors of the first Mortgage on
any Lot or on the Courtyard Common Area, current copies of this Declaration, the Bylaws of the Association and other rules and regulations governing The Overlook and other books, records and financial statements of the
Association, including the most recent annual audited financial statement, if any. "Available" shall mean available for inspection upon request during normal business hours. (k) Other. The Association shall
carry out all duties of the Association set forth herein or in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
SECTION 11.06. Prohibitions. Unless an instrument signed by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the first Mortgagees (based upon one (1) vote for each first Mortgage owned) or Owners holding at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of the Class A membership, and signed by Owners holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of the Class B membership, if any, agreeing to such action has been recorded with the Clerk and Recorder
of Arapahoe County, Colorado, the Association shall not be entitled to:
(a) Change the method of determining the obligations, assessments, dues or other charges which may be levied against an Owner; (b) By act or omission, waive or abandon any scheme of regulations, or enforcement thereof,
pertaining to the architectural design or the exterior appearance of Dwelling Units, the exterior maintenance of Dwelling Units, the maintenance of the common walks, fences and driveways, or the upkeep of lawns and plantings in
The Overlook; (c) Fail to maintain casualty insurance as in Section 13.01(a) hereof provided; or (d) Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to the Courtyard Common Area for other than the purposes outlined in Article XIV
hereof.
Further, the Association shall not be entitled, by act or omission, to seek to abandon, subdivide, encumber, sell or transfer any Courtyard Common Area owned, directly or indirectly, by the Association (excluding the granting of
easements for public utilities or other public purposes consistent with the intended use of the Courtyard Common Area), unless an instrument in writing signed by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Owners of Lots within the Cluster
Area of which the Courtyard Common Area is a part and by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the first Mortgagees of such Lots (based on one (1) vote for each first Mortgage owned) agreeing to such action has been recorded with the Clerk
and Recorder of Arapahoe County, Colorado. ARTICLE XII ASSESSMENTS SECTION 12.01. Agreement to Pay Assessments. Declarant, for each Lot owned by
it within The Overlook, and for and as owner of The Overlook and every part thereof, hereby covenants, and each Owner of any Lot within The Overlook by the acceptance of a deed or other instrument of conveyance thereof, whether or
not it be so expressed in the deed or other instrument of conveyance, shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association annual assessments or charges made by the Association for the purposes provided in this
Declaration and special assessments for capital improvements and other matters as provided in this Declaration. Such assessments shall be fixed, established and collected from time to time in the manner provided in this Article XII.
SECTION 12.02. Basis of Annual Assessments. The annual assessments against all Lots levied by the Association through its Board of Directors shall be based upon a budget developed by the Board,
consisting of advance estimates made from time to time by the Board of amounts necessary to provide for the payment of all estimated expenses arising out of or connected with the improvement, maintenance and operation of the
Courtyard Common Area, the improvement and maintenance of the landscape and sprinkler system Improvements on the Lots as provided in Section 11.05(b) hereof, the maintenance of the Public Sidewalk Area as provided in Section
11.05(c) hereof, and such other maintenance or improvement obligations which may be deemed necessary for the common benefit of the Owners and the maintenance of property values or which may be incurred by virtue of agreement with
or requirement of city, county or other governmental authorities; the furnishing of water and other common utilities and services, if any, to the Lots; and the establishment of an adequate reserve fund for periodic maintenance,
repair and replacement of the Courtyard Common Area and Public Sidewalk Area. Said estimated expenses may include, but are not limited to, management; insurance premiums; landscaping and care of grounds; snow, ice and trash removal
from the Courtyard Common Area and Public Sidewalk Area; water and sewer service; electricity and lighting service for the Courtyard Common Area; repairs, replacements and maintenance; taxes and special assessments not separately
assessed to Owners by taxing authorities; legal and accounting fees; payment of any deficit remaining from a previous period; the creation of a reasonable contingency fund; and any other expense or liability incurred by the
Association under or by reason of this Declaration. SECTION 12.03. Amount of Annual Assessments. Until January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner other than
Declarant, the maximum annual assessment shall be Dollars ($__________ ) per Lot.
(a) From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner other than Declarant, the maximum annual assessment may be increased by the Board each year either by not more than
fifteen percent (15%) above the maximum annual assessment for the previous year or by the percentage increase, if any, in the most recent available CPI as of November 1 of the current year over the CPI for November 1 of the
previous year, whichever is greater, without a vote of the membership. (b) From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner other than Declarant, the maximum annual
assessment may be increased by the Board each year by an amount greater than that set forth in subsection (a) above; provided, however, that for a period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days after the date on which Owners are
given notice of the increased assessment pursuant to Section 12.04 below, any such increased assessment may be vetoed by a vote of fifty-one percent (51%) of the Class A Members or fifty-one percent (51%) of the Class B Members
who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose or at the regular annual meeting of Members, which meeting shall comply with the notice and quorum requirements set forth in Section 19.02 hereof.
(c) The Board may, after consideration of the current maintenance costs and the financial requirements of the Association, fix the annual assessment at an amount less than the maximum, but the maximum annual assessment for the
previous year, rather than the actual annual assessment, shall in all cases be used as the basis for determining the maximum annual assessment for the current year.
The omission or failure of the Board to fix the amount of the annual assessment for any assessment period shall not be deemed a waiver, modification or release of the Owners from their obligation to pay the same and the amount
of the annual assessment shall remain the same until a new amount is fixed by the Board in accordance with this Section 12.03. SECTION 12.04. Notice of Annual Assessments and Time for Payment Thereof.
Annual assessments shall be payable and collected in advance on a calendar month basis or such other reasonable basis as the Board may determine, but in no event more frequently than monthly or less frequently than yearly. The
annual assessments provided for herein shall commence on all Lots in The Overlook upon the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner other than Declarant. Declarant shall pay one-quarter (1/4) of the installments of the annual
assessment with respect to each Lot owned by it until the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for said Lot. Upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any Lot owned by Declarant, Declarant shall commence payment of full
annual assessments with respect to said Lot for which a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. All other Owners shall be subject to full annual assessments and shall commence payment thereof upon the purchase of their Lots. The
first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. At least forty-five (45) days in advance of each annual assessment period, the Board shall fix the amount of the annual
assessment against each Lot and shall give written notice to each Owner as to the amount of the annual assessment with respect to his Lot and as to the amount of each installment thereof. The installments of each annual assessment
shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each calendar month or such other installment period set by the Board without further notice. SECTION 12.05. Special Assessments. In addition to the
annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy through its Board of Directors special assessments, payable over such periods as the Board of the Association may determine, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in
part, the cost of any emergency expenditure for unexpected repair or replacement of the Courtyard Common Area or the Public Sidewalk Area, or other unexpected expense, for construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a
capital improvement upon the Courtyard Common Area, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, or the Public Sidewalk Area, and such other special assessments as may be authorized by other Sections of this
Declaration. If any such special assessment pertains to all of the Courtyard Common Areas or to all or any portion of the Public Sidewalk Area and if any such special assessment exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or such
other reasonable amount fixed by the Board in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof, the same shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of the Class A Members and two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of the Class B Members who
are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose or at the regular annual meeting of Members, which meeting shall comply with the notice and quorum requirements set forth in Section 19.02 hereof; if any
such special assessment pertains to one or more, but less than all, of the Courtyard Common Areas and if any such special assessment exceeds such reasonable amount fixed by the Board in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof, the
same shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the Owners of Lots within the Cluster Area(s) of which the subject Courtyard Common Area(s) is a part. Further, the Association may levy special assessments against one or more Lots
for amounts owing due to tortious, willful or negligent damage to the Courtyard Common Area or the Public Sidewalk Area by such Owner or related parties as provided herein. Notice in writing of the amount of any special assessment
levied by the Association pursuant to this Section and the time for payment thereof shall be given promptly to the Owners, and no payment shall be due less than thirty (30) days after such notice shall have been given; provided,
however, that special assessments due to tortious, willful or negligent damages may be made due upon receipt of notice. SECTION 12.06. Uniform Rate of Assessment. Both annual and special assessments must
be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots subject thereto. SECTION 12.07. Working Capital Fund. Each initial Owner, other than Declarant, upon the purchase of a Lot from Declarant, shall deposit and
maintain with the Association an amount equal to two (2) times the amount of his monthly installment of the annual assessment. Said deposit shall be held by the Association without interest, to be used by the Board of Directors of
the Association as a reserve for paying any delinquent installment of the annual assessment levied against such Owner, for purchasing equipment and supplies and for working capital. Payment of said deposit shall not relieve an
Owner from paying the regular installments of his annual assessment as the same become due. Upon sale of a Lot, an Owner shall be entitled to credit from his grantee for any unused portion of the above deposit. The Association
shall not be required upon any such sale of a Lot to refund any unused portion of such deposit to an Owner, but the Association shall cooperate in transferring any unused portion of such deposit by crediting the same to the account
of the Owner's grantee on the Association's books. SECTION 12.08. Assessments for Damages. Any cost incurred by the Association in the repair of damages caused by the negligent or willful or tortious act
of an Owner, member of his family, his agents, employees, invitees, licensees or lessees or any cost incurred by the Association to cure an Owner's default hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be the
responsibility of such Owner. The Association shall assess such Owner for such costs and shall have all of the rights pertaining to a special assessment for such an assessment for damages. SECTION 12.09.
Late Charges and Interest. If any assessment or any installment thereof shall remain unpaid after the due date thereof, the Association may impose a late charge on such defaulting Owner in an amount established by the Board in
accordance with Section 12.15 below sufficient to cover the extra cost and expense involved in handling such delinquent assessment or installment thereof. In addition to the late charge set forth above, if any assessment or any
installment thereof is not paid within ten (10) days after the due date thereof, the assessment or installment may bear interest from the date it became due and payable until the date it is actually paid at a reasonable rate fixed
by the Board in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof and uniformly applied. In the event it shall become necessary for the Board of Directors of the Association to collect any delinquent assessments or any installment thereof,
whether by foreclosure of a lien hereinafter created or otherwise, the delinquent Owner shall pay in addition to the assessment and the late charge and interest herein provided, all costs of collection, including a reasonable
attorney's fee, and all costs incurred by the Board in enforcing payment. SECTION 12.10. Declarant's Obligation for Deficit. Until such time as the Class B membership has ceased to exist pursuant to
Section 11.02 hereof, Declarant shall pay to the Association concurrently with each annexation of additional real property to The Overlook pursuant to Article II above a sum of money to cover any deficit in the Association's budget
existing as of the date of such annexation and resulting from causes other than a failure to collect from any Owner or Owners the assessments specified in this Article XII, which deficit, if any, shall be determined by the Managing
Agent of the Association. SECTION 12.11. Lien for Assessments. All sums assessed to any Lot pursuant to this Article, together with interest and late charges thereon as provided in this Article and
together with the costs of collection thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be secured by a lien on such Lot and all Improvements located thereon in favor of the Association. Such lien shall be superior to all other
liens and encumbrances on such Lot, voluntary and, involuntary, whether granted by operation of law or otherwise, except only for:
(a) Valid tax and special assessment liens on the Lot in favor of any government assessing authority; and (b) A lien for all sums unpaid on a first Mortgage duly recorded in the Arapahoe County, Colorado, real property
records, including all unpaid obligatory advances to be made pursuant to such Mortgage; and (c) Any executory land sales contract for the Lot wherein the Administrator of Veterans Affairs, an officer of the United States of
America, is identified as the seller, whether such contract is owned by the said Administrator or its assigns and whether or not such contract is recorded.
The sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien thereon, except that sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to the foreclosure of any duly recorded first Mortgage or any executory land sales contract of the
type referenced in subsection (c) above, or any proceeding in lieu thereof (including deed in lieu of foreclosure), or pursuant to the cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land sales contract shall extinguish the lien
of such assessment charges which became due prior to any such sale or transfer pursuant to foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure, or pursuant to cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land sales contract.
No such sale or transfer pursuant to foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure, or pursuant to cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land sales contract shall relieve any Lot from liability for or the lien of
any assessment charges becoming due after such sale or transfer. To evidence a lien for sums assessed pursuant to this Article, the Association may prepare a written notice of lien setting forth the amount of the assessment, date
due, the amount remaining unpaid, the name of the Owner of the Lot and the description of the Lot. Such a notice shall be signed by the Association and may be recorded in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Arapahoe County,
Colorado. No notice of lien shall be recorded until there is a delinquency in payment of the assessment. Such lien may be enforced by judicial foreclosure by the Association in the same manner in which mortgages on real property
may be foreclosed in the State of Colorado. In any such foreclosure, the Owner shall be required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceeding, the costs and expenses of filing a notice of lien and all reasonable attorneys'
fees. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien being foreclosed. The Owner shall also be required to pay to the Association any assessments against the Lot which become due during the period of foreclosure. The
Association shall have the right and power to bid at the foreclosure sale or other legal sale and to acquire, hold, convey, encumber and otherwise deal with the Lot and all Improvements located thereon as the Owner thereof. A
release of notice of lien shall be executed by the Association and recorded in the Arapahoe County, Colorado, real property records at the Owner's expense, upon payment of all sums secured by a lien which has been made the subject
of a recorded notice of lien. Any Mortgagee holding a lien on a Lot may pay, but shall not be required to pay, any amounts secured by the lien created by this Article, and upon such payment such Mortgagee shall be subrogated to
all rights of the Association with respect to such lien, including priority. Each Owner hereby agrees that the Association's lien on a Lot for assessments as hereinbefore described shall be superior to the Homestead Exemption
provided by Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 38-41-201, et seq. (1973, as amended) and each Owner hereby agrees that the acceptance of the deed or other instrument of conveyance in regard to any Lot within
The Overlook shall signify such grantee's waiver of the Homestead right granted in said sections of the Colorado statutes. SECTION 12.12. Personal Obligation of Owner. The amount of any assessment
against any Lot shall be the personal obligation of the Owner thereof to the Association. Suit to recover a money judgment for such personal obligation shall be maintainable by the Association without foreclosing or waiving the
lien securing the same. No Owner may avoid or diminish such personal obligation by waiver of the use and enjoyment of any of the Courtyard Common Area or by abandonment of his Lot. This personal obligation of an Owner for
delinquent assessments shall not pass to successors in title or interest to said Owner's Lot unless assumed by them; provided, however, that any such sale or transfer of the Lot pursuant to a foreclosure shall not relieve the
purchaser or transferee from liability for, nor the Lot so sold or transferred from the lien of, any assessments becoming due after the date upon which such purchaser or transferee acquires title to or possession of the Lot,
whichever shall first occur. SECTION 12.13. Statement of Account. Upon payment of a reasonable fee to be established by the Board in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof and upon written request in the
manner herein provided by any Owner or any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee or prospective purchaser of a Lot, the Association, by its Board of Directors or Managing Agent, shall issue a written statement setting forth the amount
of the unpaid assessments, if any, with respect to such Lot, the amount of the current annual assessment, the date that such assessment becomes due, and credit for advance payments or prepaid items, which statement shall be
conclusive upon the Association in favor of prospective Mortgagees or prospective purchasers who rely thereon in good faith. SECTION 12.14. Notice to First Mortgagees. Upon receipt by the Association of
a reasonable fee for such service established by the Board in accordance with Section 12.15 hereof, the first Mortgagee of a Lot is entitled to written notice from the Association of any delinquency in the payment of assessments or
charges owed by the Owner of such Lot where such delinquency has continued for a period of sixty (60) days and provided such first Mortgagee requests such notice as provided in Section 19.01 of this Declaration. SECTION 12.15.
Setting of Special Assessment Limits, Fines, Late Charges and Other Fees. At the organization meeting of each new Board of Directors of the Association, the Board shall review, establish and set the following amounts,
charges and fees:
(a) The amount of any fines to be levied pursuant to Section 11.04(b) above. (b) The limits on a special assessment above which an assenting vote of the membership is required as in Section 12.05 hereof provided. (c) The
amount of any late charge and the rate of any interest to be imposed under Section 12.09 hereof. (d) The amount of the fee to be charged for a statement of account in accordance with Section 12.13 hereof. (e) The amount of
the fee to be charged for the notice to a first Mortgagee provided in Section 12.14 hereof.
The amounts, charges and fees set by the Board pursuant to this Section shall be reasonable and uniformly applied. SECTION 12.16. Payment of Piney Creek Maintenance Association, Inc. Assessments. If
any Owner is ever in default in the payment of any authorized charge, fine, or annual or special assessment levied by and due to The Piney Creek Maintenance Association, Inc., the Association may elect to pay to The Piney Creek
Maintenance Association, Inc. such Owner's overdue charge, fine or assessment and to levy a special assessment against such Owner for the amount of same plus any costs incurred by the Association to cure such default, including
reasonable attorneys' fees. Notice in writing of the amount of any special assessment levied by the Association pursuant to this Section shall be given promptly to the Owner and shall be immediately due and payable. The Association
shall have all of the rights pertaining to assessments generally for any such assessment levied pursuant to this Section. ARTICLE XIII INSURANCE SECTION 13.01.

Colorado, adequate, in the opinion of the Board, in kind and amount. The premiums for such insurance shall be a common expense paid by the Association and included in the annual assessments as in Article XII hereof provided.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such policies of insurance shall include:
(a) Casualty Insurance. Casualty insurance covering the Courtyard Common Area, the Public Sidewalk Area and all personal property belonging to the Association against loss or damage by fire and lightning, vandalism
and malicious mischief, under extended coverage and all-risk endorsements, the amount of such insurance to be equal to the full replacement value of the Courtyard Common Area and the Public Sidewalk Area (except land,
foundation, excavation and other items normally excluded from such coverage) without deduction for depreciation. Such insurance shall name as insureds the Association and any authorized Mortgagee of the Courtyard Common Area,
as their interests may appear. (b) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Comprehensive general liability insurance which shall include bodily injury and property damage liability insurance in amounts not less

death of persons arising from activities of the Association or with respect to property under its jurisdiction, including the Public Sidewalk Area, and, if obtainable, a cross-liability endorsement insuring each insured against

policies may also name some or all of the respective officers, employees and agents of the foregoing. (c) Workmen's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance. Workmen's Compensation and Employer's Liability
Insurance and all other similar insurance with respect to employees, contractors and subcontractors of the Association in the amounts, in the form and to the extent necessary to comply with all applicable laws. (d)

administered by the Association, destruction or disappearance of money or securities, and forgery. Said policy shall also contain endorsements thereto covering any persons who serve the Association without compensation. Where a
Managing Agent has the responsibility of handling or administering funds of the Association, the Managing Agent shall be required to maintain fidelity bond coverage in an amount to comply with the regulations of the Veterans
Administration for its officers, employees and agents handling or responsible for funds of or administered on behalf of the Association. Said fidelity bonds shall name the Association as obligee. (e) Other. Such other
insurance as the Board shall deem necessary or expedient to carrying out the Association's functions, including errors and omissions insurance with respect to the actions of the Board, officers or any Managing Agent of the
Association.
The Association shall be deemed trustee of the interests of all Members in all insurance proceeds, and shall have full power to receive and to deal with such proceeds. SECTION 13.02.
Form of Association Insurance. The insurance policy or policies obtained by the Association shall provide that it or they cannot be terminated, canceled or substantially modified by either the insured or the insurance company
until after twenty (20) days' prior written notice is first given to the Association and to any other named insured. Any insurance policy may contain such deductible provisions as the Board deems consistent with good business
practice. Certificates of insurance coverage or copies of insurance policies shall be issued to each Owner and each Mortgagee who makes written request as provided herein to the Association for any such certificate or copy of an
insurance policy. SECTION 13.03. Types of Insurance to be Carried by the Owners. Each Owner shall obtain from a company duly authorized to do business in the State of Colorado and shall keep in full
force and effect at all times casualty insurance covering the Dwelling Unit located on said Owner's Lot against loss or damage by fire and lightning, vandalism and malicious mischief, under extended coverage and all-risk
endorsements, the amount of such insurance to be not less than the full insurable replacement value of the Dwelling Unit. Each Owner shall also be responsible for obtaining such other insurance he deems desirable, including,
without limitation, casualty insurance covering furnishings and personal property belonging to that Owner and insurance covering personal liability of that Owner. The Association shall have no responsibility for obtaining any of
the aforesaid insurance or assuring that the Owner does so. Any insurance policy obtained by an Owner shall be such that it will not diminish or adversely affect or invalidate any insurance or insurance recovery under policies
carried by the Association and shall, to the extent possible, contain a waiver of the right of subrogation by the insurer as to any claim against the Association, its officers, directors, agents and employees and against other
Owners. ARTICLE XIV CASUALTY DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION SECTION 14.01. Repair and Reconstruction. The phrase "repair and reconstruction" of
Improvements as used in this Article means restoring the Improvements to substantially the same condition in which they existed immediately prior to the damage, with each Improvement having the same boundaries as before. SECTION 14.02. Damage to Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area. As soon as practicable after an event causing damage to or destruction of any part of the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk
Area, the Association shall obtain reliable and complete estimates of the costs for repair and reconstruction of that part of the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed.
(a) Sufficient Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(c) below, if the insurance proceeds with respect to the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed are sufficient
to pay the costs of repair and reconstruction thereof, the Association shall, as soon as practicable, diligently pursue to completion the repair and reconstruction of that part of the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk
Area damaged or destroyed. The Association may take all appropriate action to effect repair or reconstruction and no consent or other action by any Owner shall be necessary in connection therewith. Such repair and
reconstruction shall be substantially in accordance with this Declaration and the original Plans and Specifications. If there is a balance of insurance proceeds after payment of all costs of repair and reconstruction of the
damaged or destroyed Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area, such balance shall be apportioned among the Owners equally and distribution of said apportioned amounts by the Association shall be by checks payable jointly
to Owners and the first Mortgagee of their respective Lots, if any. (b) Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(c) below, if the insurance proceeds with respect to the Courtyard
Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed are insufficient to pay the costs of repair and reconstruction thereof, the Association shall present to the Members a notice of special assessment for approval by the
membership in accordance with Section 12.05 hereof, which special assessment shall be in an amount sufficient to provide funds to pay the costs of repair and reconstruction of that portion of the Courtyard Common Area or Public
Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed. If said special assessment is approved by the Members, the Association shall levy and collect the special assessment as provided in Article XII hereof and thereafter shall diligently pursue
to completion the repair and reconstruction of that part of the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed. Such repair and reconstruction shall be substantially in accordance with this Declaration and
the original Plans and Specifications. If there is a balance from the special assessment after payment of all costs of such repair and reconstruction, such balance shall be distributed by the Association to the Owners in
proportion to the contributions each Owner made. If the aforesaid special assessment is not approved by the Members, the insurance proceeds may be applied in accordance with the wishes of the membership, as determined in the
case of damage or destruction to all of the Courtyard Common Areas or to all or a portion of the Public Sidewalk Area by a vote of fifty-one percent (51%) of the votes held by Class A Members and fifty-one percent (51%) of the
votes held by Class B Members present, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for this purpose, which meeting shall comply with the notice and quorum requirements set forth in Section 19.02 hereof and as
determined in the case of damage or destruction to one or more (but less than all) of the Courtyard Common Areas by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Owners of Lots within the Cluster Area(s) of which the damaged or destroyed
Courtyard Common Area(s) is a part. Any such decision of the membership must be approved by two-thirds (2/3) of the first Mortgagees of those Owners entitled to vote with respect to the same (based upon one (1) vote for each
first Mortgage owned). In all events, at a minimum, the damaged structures on the Courtyard Common Area shall be demolished and the Courtyard Common Area cleaned-up and any insurance proceeds remaining shall not be distributed
to the Owners unless made jointly payable to Owners and the first Mortgagee of their respective Lots, if any. (c) Decision Not to Rebuild. If the Board determines not to rebuild any Courtyard Common Area or Public
Sidewalk Area so damaged or destroyed, or to rebuild facilities substantially different from those which were damaged or destroyed, it shall call a special meeting of the Members to consider such decision. Any such special
meeting shall comply with the notice and quorum requirements set forth in Section 19.02 hereof. If the Members, by two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes cast at such meeting, and two-thirds (2/3) of the first Mortgagees
(based upon one (1) vote for each first Mortgage owned) and, in the case of damage or destruction to one or more (but less than all) of the Courtyard Common Areas, two-thirds (2/3) of the Owners of Lots within the Cluster
Area(s) of which the damaged or destroyed Courtyard Common Area(s) is a part elect to ratify such decision, the Board shall act accordingly; but if the Members or the first Mortgagees do not by such percentage elect to ratify
such decision, the Association shall proceed to repair and reconstruct the Courtyard Common Area or Public Sidewalk Area damaged or destroyed pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, of this Section 14.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the damage or destruction to all or a portion of the Courtyard Common Area or the Public Sidewalk Area is caused by the negligent or willful or tortious act of an Owner, member of his family,
his agents, employees, invitees, licensees or lessees, the Association shall, as soon as practicable, diligently pursue to completion the repair and reconstruction of the Courtyard Common Area or the Public Sidewalk Area damaged or
destroyed and the costs of such repair and reconstruction shall be assessed to such Owner by the Association pursuant to Section 12.08 hereof and shall be added to and become part of the assessments to which such Owner's Lot is
subject and shall be an addition to any annual or special assessments to which such Owner's Lot is subject. SECTION 14.03. Damage to Improvements on Lots. In the event of damage or destruction to the
Improvements on a Lot, the Owner of said Lot, except with respect to a parking space located on more than one Lot, in which case the exclusive easement holder of that parking space, shall repair and reconstruct the same, which
repair and reconstruction shall be commenced within a reasonable time after the date of the event causing the damage or destruction but in no event more than four (4) months after said date and shall be completed within a
reasonable time after commencement but in no event more than one (1) year after the date of the event causing the damage or destruction. Such repair and reconstruction shall be accomplished in a workmanlike manner with materials
comparable to those used in the original structure, in substantial accordance with this Declaration and the original Plans and Specifications, and in conformity in all respects with the laws or ordinances regulating the
construction of buildings in force at the time of such repair and reconstruction. In addition, the Owner shall remove all debris from the Lot and restore the Lot to a sightly condition. The cost of such repair and reconstruction
shall be borne solely by the Owner of said Lot. Any such Improvement damaged or destroyed, when rebuilt or repaired, shall be substantially similar to, and its architectural design and landscaping shall be in conformity with, the
design of the original Improvement and the surrounding Improvements which are not so damaged or destroyed. The Owner shall not be relieved of this obligation to repair and reconstruct by the fact that insurance proceeds received by
the Owner are not sufficient to cover the cost thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this Section 14.03, the Owners and first Mortgagees of any or all of the destroyed or damaged Improvements may agree that the
destroyed or damaged Improvements shall forthwith be demolished and all debris and rubble caused by such demolition be removed and the Lot(s) regraded and landscaped to the satisfaction of the Board. The cost of such landscaping
and demolition work on any Lot shall be paid for by the Owner of said Lot. ARTICLE XV CONDEMNATION OF COURTYARD COMMON AREA If at any time or times during the continuance
of ownership pursuant to this Declaration, all or any part of the Courtyard Common Area shall be taken in eminent domain or condemned by any public authority or sold or otherwise disposed of in lieu thereof (hereinafter called
"condemned"), the following provisions of this Article shall apply. SECTION 15.01. Proceeds. All compensation, damages or other proceeds from the condemnation of all or any part of the
Courtyard Common Area, the sum of which is hereinafter called the "Condemnation Award", shall be payable to the Association. SECTION 15.02. Complete Taking. In the event that all of any
Courtyard Common Area is condemned, the Condemnation Award shall be apportioned equally among the Owners of the Lots within the Cluster Area of which the condemned Courtyard Common Area is a part and, on the basis of this
principal, the Association shall as soon as practicable determine the share of the Condemnation Award to which each such Owner is entitled. The Association shall distribute the Condemnation Award as soon as practicable thereafter
to the Owners of the Lots in the aforesaid Cluster Area in the shares so determined, such distribution to be made by checks payable jointly to said Owners and the first Mortgagee of their respective Lots, if any. SECTION 15.03.
Partial Taking. In the event that only a portion of any Courtyard Common Area is condemned, the Condemnation Award shall first be applied by the Association to the repair and reconstruction of any Improvements on the
Courtyard Common Area damaged or taken by the condemning public authority, unless two-thirds (2/3) of the Owners of the Lots within the Cluster Area of which the subject Courtyard Common Area is a part agree otherwise. Repair and
reconstruction of any such Improvement shall be governed by the procedures outlined in Section 14.02 hereof and such repair and reconstruction shall be substantially in accordance with this Declaration and the original Plans and Specifications. Any portion of the Condemnation Award not used for repair and reconstruction of such Improvements
shall be apportioned equally among the Owners of the Lots within the Cluster Area of which the subject Courtyard Common Area is a part and distribution of said apportioned amounts by the Association shall be by checks
payable jointly to the aforesaid Owners and the first Mortgagee of their respective Lots, if any. ARTICLE XVI
SPECIFIC RIGHTS OF DECLARANT SECTION 16.01. Sale, Retention and Use of Lots by Declarant. Declarant contemplates sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lots; however, Declarant may use or lease

Federal Housing Administration, or any other governmental agency or any other public, quasi-public or private entity which performs (or may in the future perform) functions similar to those currently performed by such entities,
and/or (b) to induce any such agencies or entities to make, purchase, sell, insure or guarantee first Mortgages covering Lots. A vote or consent of the Owners shall not be required for any such Special Amendment. Each Owner, by the
acceptance of his deed or other instrument of conveyance for a Lot, acknowledges and consents to the reservation by Declarant of the right and power to make, execute and record Special Amendments as aforesaid. SECTION 16.04.
Change in Development Plan. Until December 31, 1989, Declarant reserves the right to change the overall development plan of The Overlook or to decide not to construct planned Improvements if Declarant determines in its sole
discretion that real estate market conditions are not conducive to profitable sale of the Lots as planned or if governmental regulations or services impede or prohibit development as originally planned. ARTICLE XVII ENFORCEMENT AND NONWAIVER SECTION 17.01. Right of Enforcement. Each Owner shall comply with the provisions of this Declaration, the Articles of
Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Association, and the decisions and resolutions of the Association adopted pursuant thereto as the same may be lawfully amended from time to time. Any Owner of any Lot which is subject to this
Declaration, regardless of when it became so subject, at his own expense, Declarant and the Board shall have the right to enforce all of the provisions of this Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the
Association, and the decisions and resolutions of the Association adopted pursuant thereto against any property which is subject to this Declaration, regardless of when it became so subject, and the Owners thereof. Such right of

violation of this Declaration and subject to all of the enforcement provisions set forth herein. SECTION 17.03. Remedies Cumulative. Each remedy provided by this Declaration is cumulative and not
exclusive. SECTION 17.04. Nonwaiver. The failure to enforce any provision of this Declaration at any time shall not constitute a waiver of the right thereafter to enforce any such provision or any other
provision hereof. ARTICLE XVIII REVOCATION AND AMENDMENT SECTION 18.01. Revocation. Except as provided in the event of damage, destruction or
condemnation, this Declaration shall not be revoked unless all of the Owners and all of the first Mortgagees unanimously consent and agree to such revocation by an instrument duly executed and recorded. Upon any such revocation,
the Real Property shall be removed from the provisions of this Declaration. A first Mortgagee, upon written request as provided herein, shall be entitled to timely written notice from the Association of any revocation of this

Evidence sufficient to establish the truth of the certification by the Association on any recorded amendatory instrument shall be retained by the Association in its permanent files. Upon written request as herein provided, any
first Mortgagee shall be entitled to timely written notice from the Association of any amendment of this Declaration. No amendment of any provision of this Declaration shall in any way affect the priority of any lender or holder of
a recorded first Mortgage or an executory land sales contract wherein the Administrator of Veterans Affairs, an officer of the United States of America, is identified as the seller, whether or not said contract is recorded, except
upon the express written consent of such lender or holder; provided, however, that after the foreclosure of any such first Mortgage or executory land sales contract, or after cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land
