INFORMATION BROCHUREPINEY CREEK RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION, INC. For the convenience of the Homeowners in PINEY CREEK ("Piney Creek"), a non-profit corporation known as Piney Creek Recreational Association, Inc.,
("Association") has been or will be organized to own, operate and manage the recreational property and improvements thereon in Piney Creek. The recreational property and improvements in Piney Creek consists of
approximately 10 acres of land with lawn areas, landscaping, sidewalks parking areas, a private street and parking lot, 1 swimming pool, 1 wading pool, 4 tennis courts, 1 clubhouse, 1 children's play area, 1 pond system and a park
area. All of the recreational property in Piney Creek will be conveyed to the Association in fee simple with marketable title and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except taxes, easements, rights of way, covenants,
conditions, restrictions, reservations, laws, ordinances and regulations, prior to closing of the sale of the first lot to an owner other than a Participating Builder. Every individual owner of a lot in Piney Creek containing a
detached non-cluster single-family residence has the right to use the recreational property and improvements subject to reasonable rules and regulations established by the Association, which is controlled by the developer, Piney
Creek Development Co., a Colorado joint venture, initially, and then by the owners themselves through the Board of Directors of the Association. The individual lot owners are Class A members of the Association and are entitled to
one vote for each lot which they own. The developer is a Class B member and is temporarily entitled to three votes for each lot which it owns. The Class B membership terminates and is converted to Class A membership upon the
earliest happening of any of the following events:
1. When the total votes in the Class A membership equal the total votes in the Class B membership; 2. Ten (10) years from the recording date of the Declaration; or 3. On a date certain set forth in written notice from
the developer to the secretary of the Association stating its intent to terminate such Class B voting rights as of such date.
The Association will meet annually at which meeting members will elect directors to the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies resulting from expiration of prior terms of office on such Board. At each meeting, the officers of
the Association will present a financial report and other business will be conducted according to the agenda for such annual meetings. Special meetings of the Association may be called at any time by the President, the Board of
Directors, or upon written request by the members entitled to vote one-fourth of the votes of the non-developer class membership The Board of Directors elects the officers of the Association who direct the day-to-day business of
the Association. The Association is responsible for the maintenance, upkeep and landscaping of the recreational property, bookkeeping and accounting functions, maintenance of sidewalks, private streets and drives, parking lots and
parking areas located on the recreational property, collection of the assessment fees from the members, preparation of an annual budget, providing for an annual compilation report or financial statement of the Association, insuring
the recreational property and related duties. The Association has the right to charge reasonable fees for the use of any recreational facilities located on the recreational property and to establish and enforce reasonable rules
and regulations governing the use of the recreational property. Further, all facilities located upon the recreational property shall be available for use of all owners of single family non-cluster lots located within Piney Creek
and shall not be restricted to the use of owners of lots located in a specific subdivision. The Association shall also establish a committee for architectural control, which will approve and review all additions, changes, or
improvements which are made to the recreational property. The maximum annual assessment fee is determined each year by the Board of Directors of the Association. The owners of each lot will be assessed the same actual assessment
fees except that the actual assessment fees on the lots which are owned by the developer and/or Participating Builder and which are neither leased, nor rented nor otherwise occupied as a residence will be fixed at twenty-five
percent (25%) of the actual assessment rate for the other lots. However, if the Association income is inadequate to meet its expenses during a particular annual assessment period, and if the steps required by the Declaration are
taken by the Association, then the developer and Participating Builders will be made responsible for the payment of a subsidy equal to that amount necessary to meet such shortfall, up to full parity on the developer's and
Participating Builders' assessments. The amount of the annual increase in the maximum annual assessment fee for the Association over the preceding assessment year will be equal to yearly increases, if any, in the Consumer Price
Index. Only by vote of two-thirds of each class of members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for that purpose may the maximum annual assessment for the Association be increased above that established by
the Consumer Price Index formula. At any time, upon notice to the owners, the Board of Directors of the Association, may fix the actual assessment at any amount not in excess of the maximum. Presently the maximum annual assessment
which may be assessed by the Association is Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per assessable lot. The annual assessment of the Association is presently collected on a monthly basis as provided in the Declaration, although the Board of
Directors of the Association may collect assessments less frequently. In addition to the annual assessments, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, a special assessment, for that year only, for construction, repair, or
replacement of capital improvements on the recreational property or for funding any operating deficit of the Association. Any such special assessment requires the assent of two-thirds of each class of members voting in person or by
proxy at a meeting duly called for considering such special assessment. Any special assessment levied by the Association will be assessed equally against each lot, except that special assessments against lots owned by the developer
and/or any Participating Builder will be twenty-five percent (25%) of the rate of special assessments levied against other lots. In addition to the annual and special assessments, a contribution to the working fund in an amount
equal to 2 times the monthly installment of the maximum annual assessment assessed by the Association will be paid at closing by the purchasers of each lot who purchase their lot from the developer or Participating Builder. Such
working fund is to be maintained by the Association in a segregated account for the use and benefit of the Associations. Since it is important that each owner pay his assessments when due, procedures for the enforcement and
collection of assessments have been established. The assessment is the personal obligation of the owner concerned, and also a lien will be created against an owner's lot for the amount of any delinquent assessment. After an
assessment is delinquent over ten (10) days, it bears interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, and the Association may assess a monthly late charge thereon. Such lien is for the benefit of the
Association and can be foreclosed. In addition, the Association can file an action in court to collect the amount of the assessment plus interest, late charges, costs and attorneys' fees, without foreclosing its lien. Additional
residential and recreational property may be annexed to Piney Creek to be owned and maintained by the Association with the consent of two-thirds of each class of members. In addition, subject to approval by the Federal Housing
Administration of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Veterans Administration while there is a Class B membership, the developer may annex additional residential and recreational property within the lands,
described as Piney Creek, Arapahoe County, Colorado, to be owned and maintained by the Association until ten (10) years from the recording date of the Declaration, without the consent of the individual homeowners or the
Association. Any such annexed recreational property will be owned and maintained by the Association. Further, any such annexation, as well as any merger or consolidation, will increase the number of members of the Association.

ARTICLE IV COVENANT FOR ASSESSMENTS Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments
. Each Owner of a Lot, including Declarant and Participating Builders, by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is
deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) annual assessments or charges and (2) special assessments, such assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. The annual and special
assessments, together with interest, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot and Residence located thereon against which each such assessment is
made. The lien may be enforced by foreclosure of the defaulting Owner's Lot and Residence located thereon by the Association in like manner as a mortgage on real property. In any such foreclosure the Owner shall be required to pay
the costs and expenses of such proceedings, including reasonable attorney's fees. The Board of Directors or managing agent of the Association may prepare a written notice setting forth the amount of such unpaid
indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the Lot and a description of the Lot. Such a notice shall be signed by one of
the Board of Directors or by the managing agent of the Association and may be recorded in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado. The lien for each unpaid assessment shall attach to each Lot at the
beginning of each assessment period and shall continue to be a lien against such Lot until paid. The costs and expenses for filing any notice of lien shall be added to the assessment for the Lot against which it is filed and
collected as part and parcel thereof. Each assessment, together with interest, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, shall also be the personal obligation of each person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when
the assessment became due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall not pass to such Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. The Association's lien on each Lot for assessments shall be
superior to any homestead exemption now or hereafter provided by the laws of the State of Colorado or any exemption now or hereafter provided by the laws of the United States. The acceptance of a deed subject to this
Declaration shall constitute a waiver of the homestead and any other exemption as against said assessment lien. Section 2. Purpose of Assessments
. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation of the residents of the Properties, for the improvement, repair, replacement, and maintenance of the
Recreational Property and the appurtenances and improvements thereto and thereon, including without limitation, maintenance of landscaping located on the Recreational Property, maintaining, repairing and replacing all
improvements and recreational facilities located thereon, and paying all taxes, insurance premiums, professional management tees and utilities costs in connection with the Recreational Property. Section 3.
Maximum Annual Assessment. Until commencement of the second annual assessment period, the maximum annual assessment shall be Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per Lot.
(a) Effective with commencement of the second and each subsequent annual assessment period, the maximum annual assessment shall be increased effective each annual assessment year in conformance with the rise, if
any, of the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C., for All Items and Major Group Figures for All Urban Consumers (1967=100), for the one-year period ending with the
preceding month of November. This annual increase in the maximum annual assessment shall occur automatically upon the commencement of each annual assessment year without the necessity of any action
being taken with respect thereto by the Association. In the event the aforesaid Consumer Price Index is not published, for whatever reason, then the increase in the maximum annual assessment, as provided herein,
shall be calculated by using a substantially comparable index designated by the Board of Directors of the Association. (b) Effective with commencement of the second and each subsequent annual assessment period, the maximum
annual assessment may be increased above that established by the Consumer Price Index formula, for the next succeeding annual assessment year and at the end of each such annual assessment period, for each
succeeding annual assessment year, provided that any such increase shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose,
written notice of which shall be sent to all Members not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days in advance of such meeting setting forth the purpose therefor.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Article IV relating to Declarant's and Participating Builders' obligations to subsidize the Association for shortfalls in assessments, the Board of Directors of the
Association may, at any time and from time to time, after consideration of the projected maintenance costs and other financial needs of the Association, and upon written notification to each Owner of the amount of
the actual assessment to be levied, fix the actual assessment against each Lot at an amount less than the maximum. In the event the Board of Directors of the Association determines, at any time and from time to time,
during any annual assessment period in which the Association shall have levied an assessment in an amount less than the maximum, that the rate of assessment then in effect is less than may be necessary to adequately
fund all maintenance costs and other financial needs of the Association, then the Board of Directors of the Association may increase the actual assessment against each Lot upon written notification thereof to each
Owner, provided that the amount of the actual assessment against each Lot shall not be increased to an amount in excess of the maximum annual assessment for that annual assessment period.
(d) The limitations hereof shall not apply to any change in the maximum and basis of the assessments undertaken as an incident to a merger or consolidation in which the Association is authorized to participate
under its Articles of Incorporation. (e) The Association shall maintain an adequate reserve fund out of the annual assessments for the
maintenance, repair and replacement of those elements of the Recreational Property that must be maintained, repaired or replaced on a periodic basis.
Section 4. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual assessments authorized in this
Article IV, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, a special assessment applicable to that year only for the
purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair, or replacement of a
capital improvement upon the Recreation Property, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, or for the funding of any operating deficit incurred by the Association. Any such assessment shall have the assent of
two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of each class of Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose. Section 5.
Notice and Quorum for Any Action Authorized Under Sections 3 and 4. Written notice of any meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under Sections 3 or 4 of this Article shall be sent to all
Members not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days in advance of the meeting. The first such meeting called for such purpose shall require the presence of Members or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes
of each class of membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, other meetings may be called subject to the same notice requirement, and the required quorum at each such subsequent meeting shall be
one-half (½) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than 60 days following the preceding meeting. Section 6. Uniform Rate of Assessment
. Annual and special assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots sufficient to meet the expected needs of the Association; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Declaration, the rate of annual and special assessments set for the Lots owned by Declarant and/or Participating Builders which are neither leased, nor rented, nor otherwise occupied as a Residence
shall be fixed at one-quarter (¼) of the assessment rate for the other Lots. In the event that, prior to the termination of the Class B membership, assessments for annual common expenses, exclusive of those amounts held by the
Association for an adequate reserve fund and for working capital, fail to equal or exceed the actual expenses incurred by the Association during any particular annual assessment period because of such partial Declarant and/or
Participating Builder assessment, then Declarant and all Participating Builders shall pay a sufficient amount, up to the
amount of full parity on such assessment, to she Association to meet any such shortfall so long as (a) written notice
must be given by the Association within sixty (60) days following the termination of the then current fiscal year of the
Association at the time of the termination of the Class B membership, but in no event more than one (1) year following
the termination of such Class B membership, and (b) Declarant and Participating Builders shall have no obligation for any such shortfall caused by expenditures for capital improvements, or by any decrease in assessments, including
without limitation, the levying of any assessment in an amount less than the maximum for any common expense assessment period, which amount is established subsequent to the termination of the Class B membership, unless the
same has previously been approved in writing by Declarant; provided, however, that at the time any Lot owned by Declarant and/or a Participating Builder and is leased, rented or residentially occupied, that Lot shall be assessed at
the uniform rate of assessment for privately owned Lots. In the event there are any Participating Builders or there is more than one "Declarant' then, subject to the conditions hereinabove stated, each such Declarant and/or
Participating Builder shall pay a pro rata share of the amount necessary to meet each such shortfall in Association assessment, up to the amount of full parity on such assessments; such pro rata share to be based on the number of
Lots not subject to the full assessment rate described above which are owned by each Declarant and Participating Builder and the duration of such payment of assessment at less than the full rate during the applicable annual
assessment period. Section 7. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments. The initial annual assessment shall commence on the first
day of the month following the first residential occupancy of a Lot and the second and each subsequent annual assessment period shall correspond with the fiscal year of the Association, The annual assessments may be made
due and payable in twelve monthly installments or with such other frequency per annum, on such dates as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association, provided that the first annual assessment shall be adjusted
according to the number of months in the first annual assessment year. Any Owner purchasing a Lot between installment due dates shall pay a pro rata share of the last installment due. Section 8.
Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments; Remedies of the Association. Any assessment or portion thereof which is not paid when due shall be delinquent. Any assessment or portion thereof which is not paid within ten (10)
days after the due date shall bear interest from the due date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the Association may assess a monthly late charge thereon in such reasonable amounts as determined from time to time
by the Association. The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or foreclose the lien against such Owner's lot, and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall
include interest and late charges on the assessment, as above provided, and a reasonable attorney's fee to be fixed by the court, together with the costs of the action. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the
assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Recreational Property or abandonment of his Lot. Section 9. Working Capital.
The Association or Declarant shall require the first Owner of each Lot, who purchases that Lot from Declarant or a Participating Builder, to make a nonrefundable contribution to capital to the Association
in an amount equal to two (2) times the monthly installment of the annual common expense assessment effective at the time of conveyance of the Lot, which sum shall be held in a segregated account by the Association as and for
working capital. Said payment shall be held for the use and benefit of the Association as it deems desirable, including
but not limited to the use to insure that the Board of Directors of the Association will have cash available to meet
unforeseen expenditures, or to acquire additional equipment or services deemed necessary or desirable by the Board. Such deposit shall not relieve an Owner from making the regular payment of assessments as the same become due.
Upon the transfer of his Lot, an Owner shall be entitled to a credit from his transferee in an amount equal to that portion of the first private Owner's payment into the working capital fund which remains in the account, which
amount shall be calculated by multiplying such first private Owner's payment to the working capital fund by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount in the fund as of the date of the Association's last financial
statement (or, if readily available, such amount as of a more current date) and the denominator of which is equal to the total amount which would have been in such account had there been no expenditures as of such date. Section 10. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for herein, including
without limitation any fees, costs, late charges or interest which maybe levied by the Association in connection with unpaid assessments, shall be subordinate to the lien of any First Mortgage, including without limitation any
executory land sales contract wherein the Administrator of Veterans Affairs (Veterans Administration) is seller, whether such contract is owned by the Veterans Administration or its assigns, and whether such contract is recorded
or not. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the liens for said assessment charges except that sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to foreclosure of any such First Mortgage or any such executory land sales contract, or any
proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land sales contract, shall extinguish the lien of assessments charges which became due prior to any such sale or
transfer, or foreclosure, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or forfeiture of any such executory land sales contract; provided however, that any such delinquent assessment
charges, including interest, late charges, costs and reasonable attorney's fees, which are extinguished as provided herein may be reallocated and assessed to all Lots as a common expense. No such sale, transfer, foreclosure, or any
proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, nor cancellation or forfeiture of such executory land
sales contract shall relieve any Lot from liability for any assessment charges thereafter becoming due, nor from the
lien thereof; provided, however, that in the event of foreclosure of a First Mortgage or the taking of a deed in lieu
thereof, such First Mortgagee shall not be liable for unpaid assessments or other charges which accrue prior to the acquisition of title to the Lot in question by such First Mortgagee.
ARTICLE V ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE Section 1. Composition of Committee. The Architectural Control Committee shall consist of three (3) or more persons
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Association; provided, however, that until all Lots have been conveyed to the first Owner thereof (other than Declarant), Declarant shall appoint the Architectural Control Committee; and
further provided, however, that in the event there is more than one "Declarant," as defined in this Declaration, Piney
Creek Development, Co. shall appoint the Architectural Control Committee so long as Piney Creek Development, Co. owns at least one Lot. A majority of the Committee may designate a representative to act for it. Section 2.

swimming pool, fences, walls, canopies, awnings, roofs, exterior lighting facilities, athletic facility, or other similar
improvements or attachments, shall be constructed upon the Recreational Property, no alteration of the exterior or structure of any improvement located on the Recreational Property shall be made, and no change in the final grade,
nor the installation of or any change in any landscaping, shall be performed, unless complete plans and specifications
therefor (said plans and specifications to show exterior design, height, materials, color, location of the structure or
addition to the structure, plotted horizontally and vertically, location and size of private streets, general plan of
landscaping, fencing, walls, windbreaks and grading plan) shall have been first submitted to and approved in writing
by the Architectural Control Committee. The Architectural Control Committee shall exercise its best judgment to the end that all attachments, improvements, construction, landscaping and alterations to improvements and property,
within the Recreational Property conform to and harmonize with the existing surroundings, Residences, landscaping and structures of the Properties. Section 3. Procedures.
The Architectural Control Committee shall approve or disapprove all plans within thirty (30) days after complete submission thereof. In the event that the Architectural Control Committee fails to approve or
disapprove said plans and specifications within thirty (30) days after the complete submission thereof, approval shall not be required and this Article shall be deemed to have been fully complied with. Section 4.
Vote. A majority vote of the Architectural Control Committee is required to approve a proposed change or improvement, unless the Committee has designated a representative to act for it, in which case the decision of the
representative shall control. Section 5. Records. The Architectural Control Committee shall maintain written records of all applications submitted
to it and all actions taken by it thereon, and such records shall be available to Members for inspection at reasonable hours of the business day. Section 6. Liability.
The Architectural Control Committee and the members thereof shall not be liable in damages to any person submitting requests for approval or to any Owner, by reason of any action, failure to act, approval,
disapproval, or failure to approve or disapprove in regard to any matter within its jurisdiction hereunder. Section 7. Variance.
The Architectural Control Committee may grant reasonable variances or adjustments from any conditions and restrictions imposed by this Article or Article VII hereof, in order to overcome practical difficulties and
prevent unnecessary hardships arising by reason of the application of the conditions and restrictions contained in
this Article, Article VII hereof. Such variances or adjustments shall be granted only in case the granting thereof shall

ARTICLE VI INSURANCE Section 1. Insurance on Recreational Property. The Association shall maintain insurance covering all insurable
improvements located or constructed upon the Recreational Property. The Association shall maintain the following types of insurance, to the extent that such insurance is reasonably available, considering the availability, cost and
risk coverage provided by such insurance:
(a) A policy of property insurance covering all insurable improvements located on the Recreational Property,
with a "Replacement Cost Endorsement" providing that any claim shall be settled on a full replacement cost
basis without deduction for depreciation, and including an "Inflation Guard Endorsement" and an "Agreed
Amount Endorsement." The Association may also purchase a "Demolition Endorsement," and "Increased
Cost of Construction Endorsement," a "Contingent Liability from Operation of Building Laws Endorsement" or the equivalent, and/or coverage on personal property owned by the Association. Such insurance as
maintained by the Association pursuant to this subsection shall afford protection against at least the following: (1) loss or damage by fire and other perils normally covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement; and
(2) such other risks as shall customarily be covered with respect to projects similar in construction, location and use, including all perils normally covered by the standard all risk endorsement, where such is available.
(b) A comprehensive policy of public liability insurance covering all of the Recreational Property, insuring the Association in an amount not less than $1,000,000 covering bodily injury, including death of persons,
personal injury and property damage liability arising out of a single occurrence. Such coverage shall include, without limitation, legal liability of the insureds for property damage, bodily injuries and deaths of persons in
connection with the operation, maintenance or use of the Recreational Property, legal liability arising out of law suits related to employment contracts of the Association, and protection against liability for non-owned
and hired automobile; such coverage may also include, if applicable, garagekeeper's liability, liability for property of others, host liquor liability, water damage liability, contractual liability, workmen's compensation
insurance for employees of the Association, and such other risks as shall customarily be covered with respect to projects similar in construction, location, and use.
(c) A policy providing adequate fidelity coverage or fidelity bonds to protect against dishonest acts on the part of officers, directors, trustees and employees of the Association and all others who handle or are
responsible for handling funds of the Association. Such fidelity coverage or bonds shall meet the following requirements: (1) all such fidelity coverage or bonds shall name the Association as an obligee;
(2) such fidelity coverage or bonds shall contain waivers of any defense based upon the exclusion of person who serve without compensation from any definition of "employee" or similar expression.
(d) If the Recreational Property or any portion thereof, is located within an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance coverage on the
Recreational Property has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Program, then such a policy of flood insurance on the Recreational Property in an amount at least equal to the lesser of:
(1) the maximum coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Program for all buildings and other insurable property located within a designated flood hazard area; or
(2) one hundred percent (100%) of current replacement cost of all buildings and other insurable property located within a designated flood hazard area.
(e) A policy providing errors and omissions insurance of officers and directors of the Association, in such amounts and containing such provisions as may from time to time be deemed necessary or desirable by the
Board of Directors of the Association.
All such policies of insurance shall contain waivers of subrogation and waivers of any defense based on invalidity arising from any acts of a Member of the Association and shall provide that the policies may not be canceled or
substantially modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured, as well as to the First
Mortgagees of each Lot. Duplicate originals of all policies and renewals thereof, together with proof of payment of
premiums, shall be delivered to any First Mortgagee of a Lot, upon written request. The insurance shall be carried in
blanket forms naming the Association, as the insured, as trustee and attorney in fact for all Owners, and each Owner
shall be an insured person under such policies with respect to liability arising out of any such Owner's membership in the Association. Section 2. Damage to Recreational Property.
In the event of damage to or destruction of all or a portion of the Recreational Property due to fire or other adversity or disaster, the insurance proceeds, if sufficient to reconstruct or
repair the damage, shall be applied by the Association to such reconstruction and repair. If the insurance proceeds with respect to such Recreational Property damage or destruction are insufficient to repair and reconstruct the
damage or destruction, the Association shall cause such Recreational Property to be promptly repaired and reconstructed, using the insurance proceeds and the proceeds of a special assessment which notwithstanding the
provisions of Article IV, Section 4 to the contrary, may be levied without a vote of the Members. The amount of such assessment shall be equal to the amount by which the cost of repair or reconstruction exceeds the sum of the
insurance proceeds available and shall be assessed equally against each Lot. The assessment provided for herein shall be a debt of each Owner and a lien on such Owner's Lot and the improvements thereon, and shall be enforced
and collected as provided in Article IV hereof. Section 3. Association Insurance as Primary Coverage. If at the time of any loss under any policy which is in the
name of the Association, there is other insurance in the name of any Owner and such Owner's policy covers the same property or loss, or any portion thereof, which is covered by such Association policy, such Association policy shall
be primary insurance not contributing with any of such other insurance. Section 4. Other Insurance to be Maintained by Owners. Insurance coverage on the furnishings and other items of
personal property belonging to an Owner, public liability insurance coverage upon each Lot and hazard insurance coverage on the improvements constructed on Lots, shall be the responsibility of the Owner thereof. Section 5.
Annual Review of Insurance Policies. All insurance policies carried by the Association shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Association to ascertain that the coverage provided by such
policies adequately covers those risks insured by the Association. ARTICLE VII RESTRICTIONS Section 1. General Plan.

vehicles parked by Owners while on vacation or during a period of illness shall not constitute abandoned or inoperable vehicles. In the event the Association shall determine that a vehicle is an abandoned or inoperable
vehicle, then a written notice describing said vehicle shall be personally delivered to the owner thereof (if such owner can be reasonably ascertained) or shall be conspicuously placed upon the vehicle (if the owner
thereof cannot be reasonably ascertained), and if the abandoned or inoperable vehicle is not removed within 72 hours thereafter, the Association shall have the right to remove the vehicle at the sole expense of the

Owners and shall be uniform and non-discriminatory except to the extent that such rules and regulations concern discretionary rights given to the Association or its Board of Directors in this Declaration, the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Association. ARTICLE VIII EASEMENTS Section 1. Easement for Encroachments.
