If the Board shall fail to call such meeting, then the requisite number of Owners or any mortgagee, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notice given by the Board under Section 20. 2 above, or the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, whichever is less, may call such special Owners' meeting to consider such repair and restoration work. Any meeting called for under this Section 20.5.1 shall be convened not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice of meeting. 20. 5. 2 Except for emergency work, no repair and restoration work shall be commenced until after the expiration of the notice period set forth in Section 19.5. 1 and until after the conclusion of said special meeting if such meeting is called within said requisite period. 20. 5. 3 A written decision of seventy-five percent ( 75%) of the Lot Owners and mortgagees (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned) will be required to avoid the pro- visions of subsection 20.4. 1 and to determine not to repair and restore the damage and destruction in accordance with the original plans, as amended by subsequent amendments, if any; provided, that the failure of the Board, the requisite number 54 of owners or a mortgagee to call for a special meeting at the time or in the manner set forth in Section 20.5 shall be deemed a unanimous decision to undertake such work. 20.6 Major Damage; Assessment Over $3, 500 If the amount of the estimated assessment determined under subsection 19. 1.4 exceeds Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ( $3, 500. 00) , then the provisions of this Section 20.6 shall apply: 20.6. 1 The Board shall promptly, and in all events within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, provide written notice of a special Owners' meeting to consider repair and restoration of such damage or destruction, which notice shall be delivered with the notice required to be provided under Section 20. 2 above. If the Board 4 fails to do so within _ said thirty (30) day period, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Declaration or the Bylaws with respect to calling special meetings, any Owner or mortgagee may within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, or receipt of the notice required to be provided by the Board under Section 20.2 above, whichever is less, call a special meeting of the Owners to consider repair and restoration of such damage or destruction by providing written notice of such meeting to all Owners and mortgagees. Any meeting held pursuant to this Section 19.6 shall be called by written notice and shall be convened not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) days from the date of such notice of meeting. 20.6.2 Except for emergency work, no repair and restoration work shall be commenced until the conclusion of the special Owners' meeting required under subsection 20.6.1 . 20.6. 3 A concurrence in writing of more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the first Mortgagees (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned) , or Owners (other than the sponsor, developer, or builder) of the Lots will be required to avoid the provisions of Section 20.4 and to determine not to repair and restore the damage and destruction; provided, however, that the failure to obtain said seventy-five percent (75%) concurrence in writing shall be deemed a decision to rebuild and restore the damage and destruction in accordance with the original plans, as amended by subsequent amendments, if any; provided, further, that the failure of the Board, or Owners or Mortgagees to convene the special meeting required under Section 20.6.1 within ninety (90) days after the date of damage or destruction shall be deemed a unanimous decision not to undertake such repair and restoration work. 55 20.7 Decision Not to Restore; Disposition In the event of a decision under either sub- sections 20.5.3 or 20.6. 3 not to repair and restore damage and destruction, the Board may nevertheless expend such of the insurance proceeds and common funds as the Board deems reasonably necessary for emergency work (which emergency work may include but is not necessarily limited to removal of the damaged or destroyed buildings and clearing, filling , and grad- ing the real property) , and the remaining funds, if any, shall thereafter be credited pro rata towards assessments next due from the Owners or distributed pro rata to the Owners, as the Board may determine. The Property shall thereafter continue to be held by the Association. ca 20.8 Miscellaneous ei vThe provisions of this Article 20 shall constitute the procedure by which a determination is made by the Owners to repair, restore, reconstruct or rebuild. By the act of owning a Lot, each Owner and party claiming by, through or under such Owner hereby consents and agrees to the provisions hereof. In the event that any provision of this Article 20 shall be deter- mined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not effect the validity of any other provision of this Declaration. The purpose of this Article 20 shall be to provide a fair and equitable method of allocating the costs of repair and restoration and making a determination for repair and restoration if all or a portion of the Common Area or improvements are damaged or destroyed.

Therefore, Declarant hereby grants to the owners of said property and their successors, a per- petual, nonexclusive easement for access across the roads of Falcon Ridge. Owners of said property shall also be entitled to tie into utility lines located in Falcon Ridge, provided that said owners fully comply with the provisions of this Arti- cle 22.

It is specifically covenanted and agreed . that Declarant, upon Declarant' s sole signature, and as attorney- in-fact for all Lot Owners with an irrevocable power coupled with an interest, may file the amendment to the Declaration (and to the Tract Map, if necessary) as provided under subsec- tion 22.1 .2, said amendment to contain and depict such informa- tion and data as is necessary to reflect the development of a subsequent phase of the Project. Such amendment will not re- quire the consent of any other Owner other than the Declarant so long as the property described in the phase is with the total Project description included herein by the nature of allocating assessments are not modified, provided, the Declarant may in its sole discretion determine the final Lo boundaries for each and every parcel of property comprising each subsequent phase completed. In all other respects, the proposed location and configuration of Lots and buildings may be changed, and information detailing such changes may be in- cluded in Declarant' s amendments. Declarant shall execute and record said amendments for each subsequent phase when: (a) the buildings, and other improvements in said phase have been sub- stantially completed to the standards required by the lender or lenders financing construction of said phase; and, if appli- cable, (b) a sufficient number of Lots within said phase have been pre-sold (that is, been made subject to a binding execu- tory contract of sale and purchase) in accordance with the requirements of the lender or lenders financing construction of said phase. 22.5 Liens Arising in Connection with Phases At the time the amendment incorporating a subsequent phase into the Project is made, no lien arising in connection with the Declarant' s ownership of, and construction of improve- ments upon, the subsequent phase land will adversely affect the rights of existing Lot Owners, or the priority of first mort- gages on Lots in the existing Project. All taxes, assessments; mechanics liens, and other charges affecting a subsequent phase land will be paid or otherwise satisfactorily provided for by the Declarant. 22.6 Binding Effect The provisions of this Article 22 shall constitute irrevocable convenants running with all of the land described herein and shall be irrevocably binding upon Declarant (and its heirs, successors and assigns) with respect to all of said land. 61 22.7 Limitation of Declarant' s Rights 22.7.1 It is understood that the total Project (if all phases are completed) shall include not more than one hundred and thirty-eight (138) actual Lots.
