The personal obligation to discharge delinquent assessments shall not pass to the successor in title of any Owner unless expressly assumed by such successor. Subordination of Lien. The Assessment Lien, described in Section I of this Article VI shall be subordinate to (i) any mortgage lien for purchase of the Lot and improvements and/or the construction of improvements on any such Lot recorded prior to the date any such assessments become due and (ii) any liens in effect upon the Effective Date of these Restrictions; (The holder of any lien described in this sentence being herein referred to as "superior mortgage lienholder" or by similar references).

Section 3. Purpose of Assessments. The assessments levied by the Association 'shall be used exclusively to promote the safety and welfare of the residents of the Properties and for the necessary acquisition, improvement and maintenance of any property owned by the Association.

The Restrictions, and conditions affecting the Properties; the payment of all reasonable and necessary expenses in connection with the collection and disposal of garbage, debris or dangerous material on any Lot or for the Owners of Lots; the payment of all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with the collection and administration of the assessments; the employment of policemen and/or security personnel, if determined by the Association to be desirable; the mowing of vacant lots; and doing other things necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Association to enforce these Restrictions. It is understood that the judgment of the Association in the expenditure of said funds shall be final and conclusive so long as such judgment is exercised in good faith; provided that, the expenditure of funds or the incurring of any liability in excess of $10,000 during any fiscal year of the Association for any single category of expenditures (excluding expenditure of funds for street lighting and garbage collection and disposal, and the expenditure of funds of the (Crab Claw Club) shall require approval of at least fifty-one (51 %) of the Owners of Lots. Section 4. Rate of Assessment. The initial annual assessment on each Lot shall be $48.00. The rate at which each Lot will be assessed will be determined annually, and may be adjusted from year to year by the Board of Directors as the needs of the Properties may, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, require; provided that, such assessment shall be uniform and in no event shall such assessment or charge be increased more than 6 % in any year, except if approved by the vote of at least fifty-one percent (51 %) of the Owners of Lots. In addition to the annual assessments and the special assessments provided for in Article VI of these Restrictions, the Association may levy and collect special assessments, payable as determined by the Association, if approved by majority vote. Section 5. Commencement of Annual Assessments. The annual assessment shall be payable in advance and shall commence as to all lots on May 15 of each year beginning in May, 1999, the assessment year to commence on May 15 of a given year and end May 14 of the next calendar year. The Association shall give each Owner of a Lot at least thirty (30) days notice in advance of the due date for payment of the assessment. Such assessments may be made payable annually or otherwise, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association. Section 6. Effect of Non-payment of Assessments. Any assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear interest from such date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, and may also seek foreclosure of the lien which secures the payment of such assessments against the Lot. The Association may cause to be recorded in the Real Property Records which are maintained in the office of the County Clerk of Brazoria County a list of delinquent assessments, including a description of the Lot or Lots involved, and the name of the Owner hereof. As of the date of recordation, said list shall give notice of the delinquent assessment on the Lots described therein. The Association shall, on demand and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an Officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessment(s) against a specific Lot have been paid. -8-

ARTICLE VII General Provisions Term. These Restrictions shall run with the land and shall be binding upon all parties and Owners and Lots for a period of twenty (20) years from the effective Date after which time these Restrictions shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) years each, unless an instrument signed by the then Owners of a majority of the Lots is recorded agreeing to change or terminate these Restrictions in whole or in part. The terms and provisions of these Restrictions may be amended at any time when an instrument setting forth said changes and signed by the then Owners of a majority of the Lots is filed of record in the Real Property Records of Brazoria County, Texas, or as otherwise provided by law. Enforcement. The Association acting by and through its Board of Directors; shall have the right to enforce, by a proceeding at law or in equity, as appropriate any provision of these Restrictions, or to collect any assessment(s) or foreclosure the lien or liens securing the payment of same. The Owner of any Lot shall also have authority to enforce the provisions of these Restrictions or any obligation now or hereafter imposed by the provisions of these Restrictions. The failure of the Association or any Owner to enforce any provision of the Restrictions herein shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter. Section 3. Rights of Owner of Lot Not Subject to Restriction. The owner of any tract of land which is not bound by these Restrictions shall not be entitled to any rights to enforce or benefit from these Restrictions or from the assessments collected by the Association, including, but not limited to, the right (i) to notice of any meetings of the Association, (ii) to attend any meetings of the Association, (ill) to vote by proxy or otherwise on any matter voted on at any such meeting, (iv) to take or to request the Association to take action against an Owner of a Lot who is violating these Restrictions or (v) to receive services or other benefits from the Association (if the Association elects to make them available thereto) at the same price at which such services are available to an Owner of a Lot. Such owner of any tract of land which is not bound by these Restrictions may become entitled to all of the rights and privileges of an Owner of a Lot subject to these Restrictions by agreeing that such Lot or tract of land not heretofore bound by these Restrictions is to be subject to and bound by these Restrictions by executing a counterpart hereof or other writing which adopts the provision of the Restrictions and describes 'the tract(s) of land to be subjected to these Restrictions, which writing shall be recorded in the Real Property Records of Brazoria County, Texas and a copy thereof delivered to the Association by certified mail, return receipt requested. Any such Lot or tract of land must be in compliance with these Restrictions at such time and the owner thereof shall pay to the Association as to each such Lot or tract of land all of the assessments which such Lot or tract of land would have been required to pay if subject to these Restrictions since the Effective Date hereof (to the extent not previously paid by the Owner of such Lot or tract of land), except to the extent payment of such back assessments is waived by the Board of Directors of the Association, in its sole discretion. The Association may from time to time file a notice in the public Real Property Records of Brazoria County, Texas describing the property in the Subdivision which is not bound by or entitled to the benefit of these Restrictions. -9-
