To defray the cost of operating and maintaining public improvements and the District s common areas, the District hereby imposes a maintenance fee ( Maintenance Fee ) on all property within the District, excluding property owned by a governmental entity.

Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees not Divisible. No party may pay less than the entire amount due for the Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees regardless of the Services that the party actually uses. 4. Fee Deposit. As a condition of closing on any platted lot within the District, the purchaser of the property must pay to the District an amount equal to three months of the thenapplicable Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees (the Fee Deposit ).

The Board may adjust the amount of the Covenant Services Fees, Maintenance Fees, and the Fee Deposit at any time without notice and in accordance with Colorado law. 6. Additional Costs. The Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees do not entitle any party to unlimited access to the District s facilities and services. Additional charges may apply, including without limitation, usage fees for other District facilities, programs and services provided, if any. 7. Statements. Invoices for the Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees shall be rendered on a periodic basis, as the Board deems appropriate. Invoices shall be payable within 20 days of the invoice date.

The party shall be assessed a penalty of 1% per month of all delinquent amounts due, subject to the limitations set forth in 29-1-1101, C.R. S., including amounts due for the Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees, and amounts due to make the Fee Deposit equal to two months Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees. 8. Enforcement. The District may discontinue Covenant Services to any property delinquent in any of its payment obligations, including any property with an insufficient Fee Deposit. Discontinuance of any Covenant Services shall be done only after delivery of notice that states the amount delinquent and advises the delinquent party of an opportunity for a hearing concerning the delinquency. Covenant Services may not resume until all delinquent Covenant Services Fees, Maintenance Fees, and insufficient Fee Deposits have been paid in full. The Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees constitute a lien against the property until paid, pursuant to 32-1-1001(1)(j)(I), C.R.S., and may be collected in any manner provided by law. If the Board determines to seek collection of delinquent Covenant Services Fees through foreclosure of the property, the District may assess a foreclosure charge in the amount of $5,000 against the applicable property, to be applied toward the District s costs of foreclosure, and the charge will be payable in full upon assessment. The District shall have the right to assess any property unit that is delinquent in the payment of Covenant Services Fees and Maintenance Fees or that has an insufficient Fee Deposit, all legal, court, and other costs associated with the collection of the account, and all such costs shall be deemed a charge of the District. 9. Findings. The Board finds, determines, and declares that this resolution is promulgated in the best interests of the District and its residents and property owners. The Board further determines that the resolution and associated Covenant Services, Maintenance Fees, and Administrative Fees bear a rational relationship to legitimate governmental purposes of the District. {002496]02} 3
