liability of the Owner (and the Home under this Declaration for assessments and charges) or
operate as an approval of the lease. The Board shall not exercise this power where a receiver

12/21/05 11:26 AM - 17 -
50595067.5
•
Owners shall be the same as the fencing originally installed by the Declarant. The intention
of the Declarant is that each fence, when constructed, shall be wholly on one Lot or another
and not on the property line between adjoining Lots, as shown on the Plats. For reasons of
convenience or topography, Declarant or the Lot Owner may not construct each fence
immediately adjacent to the property line between adjoining Lots. Accordingly, the fences
are not intended to mark the property line and no fence shall be construed as modifying the
property line between the adjoining Lots, as shown on the Plats. The Owner of the Lot upon
which a fence is located (the "Fence Owner") shall own the fence and shall have the right to
relocate the fence to another position on the Owner's Lot at any time and for any reason,
subject to approval of the ACC. The Owner of the adjoining Lot (the "Adjoining Owner")
shall have only a revocable personal license to use the strip of land between the recorded
property line and the fence for landscaping and other ordinary yard purposes until revoked by
the Fence Owner and any such use of the strip of land by the Adjoining Owner shall be
deemed permissive. Except as provided in Section 2.6, the Owners shall be responsible for
keeping the fencing on their respective Lots in good condition and repair.
Section 6.24 Damage and Repair of Property. Upon any Substantial Damage (as
defined below) to any Home or Lot, the Owner shall promptly restore and Repair (as defined
below) the Home to substantially the same size and design as the original Home. The prior
written consent or vote of the Board and a vote of 67% of the total votes entitled to be cast by
the Owners of the Lots is required to rebuild in accordance with a plan that is different from
the original plan as it may have been modified by alterations approved by the Board. As used
in this Section, Substantial Damage shall mean that in the judgment of a majority of the Board
the estimated damage for the Home exceeds ten percent of the full, fair market value of the
Home before the damage occurred, as determined by the then current assessment for the
purpose of real estate taxation.
Article 7. ASSESSMENTS
Section 7.1 Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each
Owner of a Lot 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 any assessment duly
levied by the Association as provided in this Declaration. Such assessments, together with
interest, costs, late charges and reasonable attorneys fees, shall also be a charge on the land
and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each such assessment is made.
Each such assessment, together with interest, costs, late charges and reasonable attorneys'
fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot at the
time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall
not pass to his successor title unless the lien for such delinquent assessments had been
properly recorded prior to title transfer or unless expressly assumed by that party. When
ownership of a Lot changes, assessments payable in installments which have been established
12/21/05 11:26 AM - 18 -
50595067.5
for the current fiscal year shall be prorated between the Buyer and Seller based on a 365 day
year.
Section 7.2 Liability for Assessments. Any assessments which may be levied from
time to time pursuant to the authority of the Board shall be established in accordance with this
Article 7, except for assessments levied against an Owner for the purpose of paying or
reimbursing the Association for costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with bringing
an Owner's Lot into compliance with the provisions of this Declaration. Declarant shall not
be obligated to pay any assessment levied against any Lots owned by it unless a Home has
been constructed on the Lot and the Home is occupied. No Owner may exempt himself or
herself from liability for his assessments by abandoning the Owner's Lot.
Section 7.3 Association Budget. The Association shall prepare, or cause to be
prepared, an operating budget for the Association at least annually, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The operating budget shall set forth sums required
by the Association, as estimated by the Board, to meet its annual costs and expenses.
Assessments on each Lot shall commence upon a date specified by the Declarant by notice to
the Association or the Owners. The members of the Association who are obligated to pay
assessments based on a particular budget may reject said budget at a special meeting of the
Association by a vote of 51% of the votes of each class of Members. Until assessments have
commenced,the Declarant shall pay the actual expenses of the Association.
Section 7.4 Levy of General Assessment. In order to meet the costs and expenses
projected in its operating budget, the Board shall determine and levy on every Owner a
general assessment. The Association's operating budget shall be divided by the number of
Lots to determine the amount of one assessment unit. Except as provided in Section 7.3 with
respect to unoccupied Lots owned by the Declarant, each Owner's general assessment shall be
calculated by multiplying the number of Lots owned by the Owner by one assessment unit.
Section 7.5 Amount of General Assessment. The Board shall make reasonable
efforts to determine the amount of the general assessment payable by each Owner for an
assessment period at least 30 days in advance of beginning of such period. Notice of the
general assessment shall thereupon be sent to each Owner subject to assessment; provided,
however, that failure to notify an Owner of the amount of an assessment shall not render such
assessment void or invalid. Any failure by the Board, before the expiration of any assessment
period, to fix the amount of the general assessment hereunder for the next period, shall not be
deemed a waiver or modification in any respect of the provisions of this Article or a release of
any Owner from the obligation to pay the general assessment, or any installment thereof, for
that or any subsequent assessment period.
Section 7.6 Assessment Period. The general assessment fixed for the preceding
period shall continue until a new assessment is fixed. Upon any revision by the Association
of the operating budget during the assessment period for which each budget was prepared, the
12/21/05 11:26 AM - 19 -
50595067.5
•
Board shall, if necessary, revise the general assessment levied against the Owners and give
notice of the same in the same manner as the initial levy of a general assessment for the
assessment period.
Section 7.7 Special Assessments. In addition to the general assessments authorized
by this Article, the Association may levy an assessment or assessments at any time against all
Lot Owners, applicable to that year only, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the
cost of any construction or reconstruction, inordinate repair, or replacement of a Common
Area, or for such other purposes as the Association may consider appropriate, including but
not limited to maintenance of the Private Storm Drainage Easements and Street Trees;
provided, however, that any such assessment must have the prior favorable vote of a majority
of each class of Members. The amount of each Owner's special assessment for any year shall
be calculated like the general assessment, except that the total special assessment shall be
substituted for the operating budget amount and shall be payable in one or more installments,
as determined by the Board.
Section 7.8 Manner and Time of Payment. Assessments shall be payable in such
reasonable manner as the Board shall designate. Any assessment or installment thereof which
remains unpaid for at least 15 days after the due date shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per
annum, and the Board may also assess a late charge in an amount not exceeding 25% of any
unpaid assessment which has been delinquent for more than 15 days.
Section 7.9 Accounts. Any assessments collected by the Association shall be
deposited in one or more federally insured institutional depository accounts established by the
Board. The Board shall have exclusive control of such accounts and shall maintain accurate
records thereof. No withdrawal shall be made from said accounts except to pay for charges
and expenses authorized by this Declaration.
Section 7.10 Lien. In the event any assessment or installment thereof remains
delinquent for more than 30 days, the Board may, upon 15 days' prior written notice to the
Owner of such Lot of the existence of the default, accelerate and demand immediate payment
of the entire assessment. The amount of any assessment assessed or charged to any Lot plus
interest, costs, late charges and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a lien upon such Lot. A
notice of assessment may be recorded in the office where real estate conveyances are recorded
for the county in which this property is located. Such notice of assessment may be filed at
any time at least 15 days following delivery of the notice of default referred to above in this
Section. The lien for payment of such assessment and charges shall have priority over all
other liens and encumbrances, recorded or unrecorded, limited as provided in Section 9.1.
Suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid assessments or charges shall be maintainable
without foreclosure or waiver of the lien securing the same. Said liens may be foreclosed as a
mortgage.

50595067.5
Section 7.11 Waiver of Homestead. Each Owner hereby waives,to the extent of any
liens created pursuant to this Article, the benefit of any homestead or exemption law in effect
at the time any assessment or installment thereof become delinquent or any lien is imposed
pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 7.12 Records and Financial Statements. The Board shall prepare or cause to
be prepared for any fiscal year in which the Association levies or collects any assessments, a
balance sheet and an operating (income/expense) statement for the Association which shall
include a schedule of delinquent assessments identified by the number of the Lot and the
name of the Lot Owner; provided, however, such documents need not be prepared by a
certified public accountant unless requested by the Board or a majority of the Owners. The
Board shall cause detailed and accurate records of the receipts and expenditures of the
Association to be kept specifying and itemizing the maintenance, operating, and any other
expense incurred. Such records, copies of this Declaration, the Articles and the Bylaws, and
any resolutions authorizing expenditures of Association funds shall be available for
examination by any Owner at convenient weekday hours.
Section 7.13 Certificate of Assessment. A certificate executed and acknowledged by
the treasurer or the president of the Board (or an authorized agent thereof, if neither the
president nor treasurer is available) stating the indebtedness for assessment and charges or
lack thereof secured by the assessments upon any Lot shall be conclusive upon the
Association as to the amount of such indebtedness on the date of the certificate, in favor of all
persons who rely thereon in good faith. Such a certificate shall be furnished to any Owner or
any Mortgagee of a Lot within a reasonable time after request, in recordable form, at a
reasonable fee. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, any Mortgagee holding a lien on a Lot
may pay any unpaid assessments or charges with respect to such Lot, and, upon such
payment, shall have a lien on such Lot for the amounts paid of the same priority as its lien.
Section 7.14 Foreclosure of Assessment Lien; Attorneys Fees and Costs. The Board
(or authorized agent), on behalf the Association, may initiate an action to foreclose the lien of,
or collect any assessment. In any action to foreclosure the lien of, or otherwise collect
delinquent assessments or charges, any judgment rendered in favor of the Association shall
include a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
preparation for or in the prosecution of said action, in addition to all costs permitted by law.
Said liens may be foreclosed as a mortgage.
Section 7.15 Curing of Default. The Board shall prepare and record a satisfaction
and release of the lien for which a notice of assessment has been filed and recorded in
accordance with this Article upon timely payment or other satisfaction of all delinquent
assessments set forth in the notice and all other assessments which have become due and
payable following the date of such recordation with respect to the Lot to which such notice of
assessment was recorded, together with all costs, late charges and interest which have accrued
thereon. A fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) or such other amount as may from time to time
12/21/0511:26AM - 21 -
50595067.5
•
be set by the Board covering the cost of preparation and recordation shall be paid to the
Association prior to such action. The satisfaction and release of the lien created by the notice
of assessment shall be executed by the president or treasurer of the Association or by any
authorized representative of the Board. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "costs"
shall include costs and expenses actually incurred or expended by the Association in
connection with the cost of preparation and recordation of the notice of assessment and any
efforts to collect the delinquent assessments, including a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees
and costs.
Section 7.16 Delinquent Assessment Deposit; Working Capital.
7.16.1 A Lot Owner may be required by the Board, from time to time,to make
and maintain a deposit up to three months' estimated monthly assessments, which may be
collected as are other assessments and charges. Such deposit shall be held in a separate fund,
be credited to the Lot owned by such Owner, and be for the purpose of establishing a reserve
for delinquent assessments.
7.16.2 Resort may be had thereto at any time when such Owner is ten days or
more delinquent in paying his or her monthly or other assessments and charges. Said deposits
shall not be considered as advance payments of regular assessments. In the event the Board
should draw upon said deposit as a result of a Lot Owner's delinquency in payment of any
assessments, the Owner shall continue to be responsible for the immediate and full payment
of said delinquent Assessment (and all penalties and costs thereon) and thus the full
restoration of said deposit, and the Board shall continue to have all of the rights and remedies
for enforcing such assessment payment and deposit restoration as provided by this
Declaration and by law.
7.16.3 Upon the sale of a Lot, the seller/Owner thereof shall not be entitled to
a refund from the Association of any deposit or reserve account made or maintained with
respect to such Lot pursuant to this or anyother section
ofthis Declaration; rather, any such
deposit or reserve account shall continue to be held by the Association for the credit of such
Lot, and the seller/Owner shall be responsible for obtaining from the purchaser appropriate
compensation therefor.
7.16.4 The first purchaser of any Lot shall pay to the Association, in addition
to other amounts due, an amount equal to three months of monthly assessments as an initial
contribution to the Association's working capital. Such working capital contributions shall
not be used to defray Declarant's expenses in completing the construction or development of
the Properties, to pay Declarant's contributions to Association reserves or to make up any
deficits in the budget of the Association.

Article 8. COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
Section 8.1 Enforcement. Each Member, Board member and the Association shall
comply strictly with the provisions of this Declaration and with the Bylaws and administrative
rules and regulations adopted by the Association (as the same may be lawfully amended from
time to time). Failure to comply shall result in a claim for damages or injunctive relief, or
both,by the Board(acting through its officers on behalf of the Association and the Owners) or
by the aggrieved Owner on his own, against the party (including an Owner or the Association)
failing to comply. In any action or arbitration to enforce the provisions of Section 8.1 or any
other provision of this Declaration, the Articles or the Bylaws, the prevailing party in such
action or arbitration shall be entitled to an award for reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs
and expenses reasonably incurred in preparation for prosecution of said action or arbitration,
in addition to all costs permitted by law.
Section 8.2 No Waiver of Strict Performance. The failure of the Board or
Declarant, as applicable, in any one or more instances to insist upon or enforce the strict
performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or restrictions of this Declaration, or
of any Bylaws or administrative rules or regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment for the future of such term, covenant, condition or restriction, but such term,
covenant, condition or restriction shall remain in full force and effect.No waiver by the Board
of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and
signed by the Board.
Section 8.3 Arbitration. Any dispute between the Owners, between an Owner and
the Board or the Association or between an Owner, the Board or the Association and
Declarant shall be determined by arbitration in the King County, Washington, under the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules with Expedited
Procedures in effect on the date hereof, as modified by this Declaration. There shall be one
arbitrator selected by the parties within seven days of the arbitration demand or, if not, then
selected pursuant to the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall be an attorney with at least five
years owners association, subdivision or real estate law experience. Any issue about whether
a claim must be arbitrated pursuant to this Declaration shall be determined by the arbitrator.
At the request of either party made not later than 45 days after the arbitration demand, the
parties agree to submit the dispute to nonbinding mediation which shall not delay the
arbitration hearing date. There shall be no substantive motions or discovery, except the
arbitrator shall authorize such discovery as may be necessary to ensure a fair hearing, which
shall be held within 90 days of the demand and concluded within two days. These time limits
are not jurisdictional. The arbitrator shall apply substantive law and may award injunctive
relief or any other remedy available from a judge including attorney fees and costs to the
prevailing party, but the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages. This
arbitration provision shall not cover claims by the Association for collection of assessments;
such claims shall be governed by Article 7.

50595067.5
Section 8.4 Remedies Cumulative. Except for claims which must be arbitrated

may pursue them concurrently, as well as any other remedies which may be available under
law although not expressed herein.
Article 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Section 9.1 No Personal Liability. So long as a Board member, Association
committee member, Association officer, or authorized agent(s) has acted in good faith,
without willful or intentional misconduct, upon the basis of such information as may be
possessed by such person, no person shall be personally liable to any Member, or other party
including the Association, for any damage, loss or prejudice suffered or claimed on account of
any act, omission, error, negligence (except gross negligence), any discretionary decision or
failure to make a discretionary decision, by such person in such person's official capacity;
provided, however, that this Section shall not apply where the consequences of such act,
omission, error or negligence are covered by insurance or bond obtained by the Board
pursuant to Article 4 or Article 14 hereof.
Section 9.2 Indemnification. Each Board member or Association committee
member, or Association Officer, and their respective heirs and successors, shall be
indemnified by the Association against all expenses and liabilities, including attorneys' fees,
reasonably incurred by or imposed in connection with any proceeding to which he or she may
be party, or in which he or she may become involved, by reason of being or having held such
position at the time such expenses or liabilities are incurred, except in such cases wherein
such person is adjudged guilty of intentional misconduct, or gross negligence or a knowing
violation of law in the performance of his or her duties, and except in such cases where such
person has participated in a transaction from which said person will personally receive a
benefit in money, property, or services to which said person is not legally entitled; provided,
however, that in the event of a settlement, indemnification shall apply only when the Board
approves such settlement and reimbursement as being in the best interests of the Association.

indemnify any Member who is or has been a Board member or officer of the Association with
respect to any duties or obligations assumed or liabilities incurred by him or her under and by
virtue of the Declaration as a Member or Owner of a Lot.
Article 10. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
Section 10.1 Priority of Mortgages. Notwithstanding all other provisions hereof, the

•
which were made in good faith and for value upon the Lot. A mortgagee of a Lot, or other
purchaser of a Lot, who obtains possession of a Lot as a result of foreclosure or deed in lieu
thereof will be liable for any assessment accruing after such possession. Such unpaid share of
common expenses or assessments shall be deemed to be common expenses collectible from
all of the Lot Owners including such possessor, his successor and assigns. For the purpose of
this Article, the terms "mortgage" and "mortgagee" shall not mean a real estate contract (or
