The cost of any special services shall be in addition to the Owner s annual Assessment payments and shall be collectible in the same manner and shall constitute a lien on such Owner s Home as set forth in Article V of this Declaration. A tenant desiring any special services shall be arranged through the Owner of the leased Home and the Owner of the leased Home shall be solely responsible for the payment of any special services contracted for at the request of such Owner s tenant. Section 5.06. Change in the Basis of Assessments. a. The Board may change the basis of determining the Annual Assessments by obtaining the consent of Owners by an affirmative vote of not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of Authorized Voting Owners at a regular or special meeting of Owners.

A written certification of any such change shall be executed by the Board and recorded in the office of the Saratoga County Clerk. Section 5.07. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual Maintenance Assessment, the Association may levy a Special Assessment for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any capital improvements, including without limitation, the construction, reconstruction, replacement or repair of a capital nature to the Property, including the necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto. Any Special Assessment for the construction (rather than reconstruction or replacement) of any capital improvement, the consent of Owners shall be evidenced by an affirmative vote of no less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Authorized Voting Owners cast in person, by mail (absentee ballot) or by proxy at a regular or special meeting duly called for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.07 hereof. Written notice of such meeting shall be sent to all affected Owners at least ten (10) days and not more than fifty (50) days in advance, setting forth the purpose of the meeting. The Association shall establish one (1) or more due dates for each payment or partial payment of each Special Assessment and shall notify each Owner thereof, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the first such due date. Section 5.08. Special Assessments for Loss Due to Casualty.

Any 18

such Special Assessment shall not require the consent of Owners. The Association shall establish one (1) or more due dates for each payment or partial payment of such Special Assessment and shall notify each Owner thereof, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the first such due date. Section 5.09. Assessments: Personal Obligation of the Owner and Lien on a Home. Assessments shall be paid when due. All sums assessed by the Board, but unpaid, together with any accelerated installments, late charges, fees for violations of Rules and Regulations and interest thereon at such rate as may be fixed by the Board from time to time (such rate not to exceed the maximum rate of interest then permitted by law), shall be the personal obligation of an Owner and shall constitute a lien upon the Owner's Home prior to all other liens except: (i) tax or assessment liens on the Home by the taxing authority of any governmental unit, including, but not limited to, state, county, village and school district taxing agencies; and (ii) all sums unpaid on any First Mortgage of record encumbering any Home. Assessments shall be levied on an annual basis and shall be due and payable on a monthly basis on the first (1st) day of each month unless the Board establishes other periods of payment, except that, if an installment of Assessments due is not paid within thirty (30) days from date due, the Board may accelerate the remaining installments, if any, upon notice thereof to the delinquent Owner and if not paid within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, the Board may file a lien against the Home, which may include accelerated remaining installments, late charges, monetary penalties and attorney fees. All costs and expenses incurred in collection of past due Assessments, including late fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be added to and shall constitute an Assessment payable by such Owner. Section 5.10. Reserves. The monthly reserves, as set forth in the annual budget and payable as a part of the monthly Assessment payment, shall be transferred at least quarterly to a segregated interest-bearing account. This reserve fund is not intended to be used to reduce Assessments or cover any budget deficit. The purpose of the Reserve Fund is to provide for adequate funds to replace any capital improvement as set forth in the budget footnotes and/or subsequent capital improvements. All reserve items should be reviewed annually to determine whether the funds budgeted are adequate to cover the respective replacements based on current costs, including labor and all existing capital improvements that may have been added to the Association Properties. Section 5.11. Working Capital. Each initial Owner contributed two hundred dollars ($200.00) for the Association Working Capital which shall be maintained in a segregated interest-bearing account until all Homes have been sold to initial Purchasers. This Working Capital is not intended to be used to reduce Assessments, cover any budget deficit or fund the Reserves for replacements. The purpose of this Working Capital is for improvements, such as recreation equipment, to be installed within Association Properties with approval by Owners by an affirmative vote of no less than fifty one percent (51%) of the Authorized Voting Owners at a duly called meeting of Owners subsequent to Transfer of Control. Section 5.12. Foreclosure of Lien for Assessments.

However, no Owner shall be liable for the payment of any Assessments accruing subsequent to a sale, transfer or other conveyance by him or her of such Home made in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration and the By-Laws. Section 5.15. Grantee to be Liable with Grantor for Unpaid Assessments.

However, any such Grantee shall be entitled to a statement from the Board setting forth the unpaid Assessments against the Grantor and the Grantee shall not be liable for, nor shall the Home conveyed be subject to a lien for any unpaid Assessments against the Grantor in excess of the amount therein set forth. "Grantee" as used herein shall not include either the First Mortgagee of record, its successors, heirs and assigns, or a Purchaser of a Home at a foreclosure sale of a First Mortgagee or holder of title, its successors, heirs and assigns, obtained by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

A reasonable charge, as determined by the Board, may be made for the issuance of such certificates. Any such certificate, when duly issued as herein provided, shall be conclusive and binding with regard to any matter therein stated as between the Association and any bona fide Purchaser, Mortgagee, lessee of, or title insurer of, the Home with respect to which such certificate has been issued. 21

Each Owner whose Home contains one or two Party Walls shall have an easement to enter upon the Home with which the Party Wall is shared to effect necessary repairs or maintenance of such Part Wall.

The Owner who undertakes such rebuilding or repair shall be entitled to a contribution (equaling one-half (1/2) the cost of such restoration) from the Owner owning the other Home which share such Wall.

g. Other. The Board may also obtain such other insurance as it shall deem necessary or desirable from time to time, including additional "umbrella" coverage. Except as provided in Section 10.03 of this Declaration, the deductible, if any, on any insurance policy purchased by the Board may be the subject of an Assessment. The Board may assess any deductible amount necessitated by the gross negligence or malicious act of an Owner against such Owner. The Board shall review all insurance limits provided thereby at least annually to assure adequacy of coverage. Section 10.02. Restoration or Reconstruction After Fire or Other Casualty. In the event of damage to or destruction of any Association Property or Home, insurance proceeds, if any, shall be payable to the Association.

Section 10.03. Insurance To Be Carried By Owners.

ARTICLE XI DURATION, ENFORCEMENT AND AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION Section 11.01. Duration. This Declaration shall continue in perpetuity until: (i) terminated by casualty loss, condemnation or eminent domain; or (ii) such time as withdrawal of the Property from the provisions of this Declaration is authorized by an affirmative vote of Owners by at least eighty percent (80%) of all Authorized Voting Members. Section 11.02. Declaration Runs with the Land; Enforceability. The provisions of this Declaration shall bind the Property and shall be construed as running with the land and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Board (being hereby deemed agent for all of the Owners), and by any Owner, their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, by actions at law or by suits in equity. As it may be impossible to measure monetarily the damages which may accrue to the beneficiaries hereof by reason of a violation of this Declaration, and monetary damages will not adequately compensate for violations of this Declaration, any beneficiary hereof shall be entitled to relief by way of injunction or specific performance, as well as any other relief available at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions hereof. In addition, or as an alternative, to an action at law or suit in equity, the Board may, with respect to any violation of this Declaration or the By-Laws or Rules and Regulations of the Association, and after affording the alleged violator a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard, establish monetary and non-monetary penalties, the amount and/or severity of which shall be reasonably related to the violation and to the aim of deterring similar future violations by the same or any other person. Monetary penalties imposed against an Owner or occupant shall be deemed an Assessment against the Home of such Owner or against the Home occupied by such occupant, and, as such, shall be a charge and continuing lien upon such Home, shall constitute a personal obligation of the Owner and shall be collectible in the same manner as Assessments under Article V of this Declaration. The Owner of a Home is solely responsible for the actions of the occupant(s) of such Home. Each person or entity acquiring an interest in a Home or other portion of the Property, or otherwise occupying any portion of the Property (whether or not the deed, lease or any other instrument incorporates or refers to this Declaration) covenants and agrees, and for his or her heirs, successors and assigns, to observe, perform and be bound by the provisions of this Declaration, including personal responsibility for the payment of all charges which may become liens against his or her property and which become due while he or she is the Owner thereof, and also covenants to incorporate this Declaration by reference in any deed, lease or other instrument further transferring an interest in such Home and/or Property. Section 11.03. No Waiver by Failure to Enforce. The failure of any beneficiary hereof to enforce any provision of this Declaration shall in no event be construed as a waiver of the right by that beneficiary or any other to do so thereafter, as to the same or a similar violation occurring prior or subsequent thereto. No liability shall attach to the Association (or any officer, director employee, managing agent, committee, committee member or other Owners) or to any other person or organization for failure to enforce the provisions of this Declaration. 36

Section 11.04. Obligation and Lien for Cost of Enforcement by Association. If the Board successfully brings an action to extinguish a violation or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Declaration, the By-Laws or rules and regulations promulgated hereunder or thereunder, the costs of such action, including legal fees, shall become a binding, personal obligation of the violator. If such violator is: (i) an Owner; or (ii) any family member, lessee, guest or invitee of the Owner; or (iii) a family member or guest or invitee of the lessee of the Owner; or (iv) a guest or invitee of any Member of such Owner's family or any family member of the lessee of such Owner, such costs shall also be a lien upon the Home and/or Lot owned by such Owner, if any. This lien shall be subsequent to a first mortgage. Each Owner is responsible for the costs of such action regardless of whether the violator is the Owner, a member of such Owner's family, guest, lessee, licensee or invitee. Section 11.05. Amending. Subject to the provisions of this Declaration, this Declaration may be modified, altered or amended at any duly called meeting of Members, provided that written notice of the meeting, containing a full statement of the proposed modification, alteration or amendment has been sent to each Owner at such Owner's last known place of residence no less than ten (10) days nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the date of the meeting; and provided further that not less than fifty one percent (51%) of the total Authorized Voting Members approve the change. The above provisions in this Section and the provisions of Section 11.09, notwithstanding, the HOA may execute, acknowledge and record in the office of the Saratoga County Clerk amendments to this Declaration which may be required to bring this Declaration into conformity with any subsequent requirements of the Planning Board of the Town of Clifton Park. Section 11.06. Conflict with Municipal Laws. The provisions of this Declaration set forth herein shall not be taken as permitting any action or thing prohibited by applicable enforceable zoning laws, or the laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any governmental authority or by specific enforceable restrictions imposed by any deed or lease. Section 11.07. Attorneys' Fees. Any party to a proceeding who succeeds in enforcing the provisions of this Declaration set forth herein, or enjoining the violation of any of such provisions against an Owner (or such Owner's lessee, licensee or invitee), shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees from such Owner. Section 11.08. Change of Conditions. No change of conditions or circumstances shall operate to amend any of the provisions of this Declaration, as the same may be amended only in the manner provided herein. Section 11.09. Inspection and Entry Rights. Any agent of the Association may, at any reasonable time or times, enter upon any portion of the Property to inspect the improvements thereon for the purpose of ascertaining whether the maintenance, construction or alteration of structures or other improvements thereon comply with this Declaration and By-Laws or Rules and Regulations issued pursuant hereto. Neither the Association nor any such agent shall be deemed to have committed a trespass or other wrongful act by reason of such entry or inspection. 37

ARTICLE XII COMPLIANCE AND ARBITRATION Section 12.01. Compliance with Rules of the Association Pursuant to This Declaration and the By-Laws. Should any Owner, members of such Owner's family, his or her employees, guests, lessees, licensees or other invitees fail to comply with any of the provisions of this Declaration, the By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules and regulations, as such may be amended from time to time, the following procedures may be followed to obtain compliance: a. Each party shall choose one arbitrator and such arbitrators shall choose one additional arbitrator. The Board, or the Compliance Committee if there be one, shall appoint a chairperson. The decision shall be an affirmative vote of the majority of the arbitrators. The decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. However, any party to the dispute shall thereafter have the right to institute any action desirable to appeal this decision. b. The Compliance Committee shall first undertake to obtain compliance informally by discussing the violation or violations with the Home Owner responsible for the violator, and seeking to obtain future compliance or cessation of the ongoing violation or violations. c. Should this informal procedure prove unsatisfactory or not secure future compliance, the Compliance Committee shall then send a written notice to the violator, and if such person is not an Owner, to the Owner who brought such person onto the Property, notifying him or her of the claimed violation, requesting, as the case may be, either a correction of the violation, or an assurance that a similar violation will not occur in the future. Such notice shall establish a date for compliance. d. Should such notice obtain the requested compliance, that will dispose of the matter, unless the same or a similar violation thereafter reoccurs. e. Should such notice not obtain the requested compliance within the time requested, the Compliance Committee shall then be authorized, at its discretion, to establish a monetary and/or non-monetary penalty, the amount and/or severity of which shall be reasonably related to the violation and to the aim of deterring similar violations in the future by the same or any other person. Such monetary penalties shall become a binding personal obligation of the violator, if an Owner, or the Owner responsible for such violator. Failure to correct the condition or situation which leads to the first monetary penalty for a period of twenty (20) days after the initial monetary penalty becomes finally due and payable, shall constitute a second offense. Notice of the imposition of such monetary penalty or penalties shall be by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the violator and the Owner responsible for such violator, and shall be paid to the Association within ten (10) days following the date of the mailing of such notice, unless the violator, if an Owner, or the Owner responsible for such violator, requests the right to arbitrate the matter before the Arbitration Committee, as hereinafter set forth, within said ten (10) days. Should the monetary penalty not be paid within the ten (10) days, or if a request to arbitrate is not received within the said ten (10) days, the amount of the fine shall be added to the Owner's Assessment on the first of the month following the termination of the ten (10) day period above set forth, and shall be 38

collectible as such. Should the violator, or the Owner responsible for the violator, request the right to arbitrate the imposition or amount of a monetary, as above set forth, he or she shall do so in writing, directed to the Board, within ten (10) days of his or her receipt of notice sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the imposition of said monetary penalty. The Board shall promptly forward the same to the Arbitration Committee, which shall meet within twenty (20) days thereafter, on notice to the alleged violator, to hear and dispose of the matter. At such hearing, the alleged violator and/or the Owner responsible for such violator, and one (1) or more members of the Compliance Committee may be present and be heard. A decision on the matter shall be made by the Arbitration Committee, by a majority vote, within ten (10) days following said hearing, and shall be promptly communicated to the alleged violator and/or the Owner responsible for such violator in writing. If the decision of the Arbitration Committee is to uphold the determination of the Compliance Committee, the provision relating to the payment and enforcement thereof set forth in Subparagraph e., above shall apply. If their decision is in favor of the alleged violator, no fine will be imposed. The decision of the Arbitration Committee shall be final and binding upon all parties. f. In the event the violator is a person other than an Owner or member of such Owner's immediate family, copies of all notices required to be given, shall also be given to the violator under this Declaration and the By-Laws. 39

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Association and its successors, shall at all times have the absolute right to fully transfer, convey and assign its right, title and interest under this Declaration to any successor not-for-profit corporation. Upon such assignment, the successor corporation shall have all the rights and be subject to all the duties of the Association as set forth in this Declaration and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by all provisions hereof, to the same extent as if the successor corporation had been an original party and all references herein to the Board shall be deemed to refer to the Board of such successor corporation.
