whether expressly stated in such deed), to timely pay the Association each payment of the
Owner's Proportionate Share of Annual Assessment Costs which becomes due and payable
during the period in which such Owner owns its Parcel.
Section 7.02. Establishing Annual Assessments Payment. The Board of Directors of the
Association shall adopt an estimated budget of Annual Assessment Costs for each calendar year

shall then pay its Proportionate Share of the estimated Annual Assessment Costs set forth in the
Annual Budget in equal quarterly payments due on Much 31, June 30, September 30, and
December 31 of each calendar year. In the event of any extraordinary item of Annual
Assessment Costs incurred by the Association during a calendar year but not included in the

each such item within thirty (30) days after receiving a statement therefor from the Association.

statement (the "Annual Statement") setting forth the total amount of Annual Assessment Costs
incurred by the Association for the preceding calendar year, the Owner's Proportionate Share
thereof and the amount thereof previously paid by the Owner or a predecessor Owner. The
Association shall refund any overpayment to the then Owner at the time the Annual Statement is
furnished, and in the case of an underpayment, the then Owner shall pay the amount thereof to
the Association within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Annual Statement. In the event the
Association fails to provide any Owner with an Annual Budget or Annual Statement on or before
the applicable date specified above, the Owner shall not be relieved from its obligation to pay its
8608974
Proportionate Share of Annual Assessment Costs, but in such event, the Owner's payment shall
not be due and payable until thirty (30) days after receipt from the Association of an appropriate
statement of the amount due from the Owner.

description of the Owner's Parcel and stating the name of the Owner, the delinquent amount
owed by the Owner and the date on which such amount was due and payable. Such lien shall
encumber the defaulting Owner's entire interest in its Parent, ran in favor of the Association and

subordinate to the lien of any bona fide first mortgage to an unrelated third party then existing on

any manner alter or impair any assessment lien on the Parcel or the right hereunder of the
Association to enforce or impose an assessment lien upon the Parcel. Without limiting the

transferred after such delinquency arises but before the assessment lien therefor is imposed as
provided herein.

payable by such Owner without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and together with
costs of collection, attorney fees and, if delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, with interest at

applicable law from the date due until paid. In the event a delinquent sum is made a lien upon a
Parcel in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Declaration, the related collection
costs, attorney fees and interest on such delinquent sum shall constitute a further lien upon the
Parcel.

request by the Owner of a Parcel or the holder of a mortgage on a Parcel, the Association shall
provide the Owner or holder of such mortgage with a certificate stating the delinquent amount, if
