withdrawn.

Amenity Assessment, and The Sanctuary at 121 Sc Street Homeowners Association, Inc.
shall be liable to the Association for the payment of the total amount of the Amenity
Assessment.
(B) The Amenity Assessment shall commence upon the date that the Amenity
24 T5
Area is completed as determined by the Declarant, which shall be no later than May 31,
2011, and the Amenity Assessment applicable to each and every calendar year shall be
payable on April 30 of such calendar year, in advance of the opening of the swimming
pool(s) during such calendar year and, therefore, in advance of the expenditure or accrual
of all expenses of operating the Amenity Area for such calendar year.
(C) Prior to the Turnover Date (defined below in Section 11.5), the total
amount of the Amenity Assessment owed by The Sanctuary at 121St Street Homeowners
Association, Inc. to the Association shall be $11.00 per month ($132.00 per year) per lot
in The Sanctuary at 121St Street, multiplied by the total number of all lots, other than lots

Section 11.5) the Amenity Assessment due and payable in advance on April 30 of each
calendar year, in advance of the opening of the swimming pools, shall be based upon the
operating costs of the Amenity Area for the immediately preceding calendar year and, in
order to reconcile the Amenity Assessment payable in any given calendar year with the
actual operating costs for such calendar year, the Amenity Assessment due and payable
on April 30 of the following calendar year shall be adjusted (increased or decreased) to
reflect the difference between (i) the Amenity Assessment that was last due and payable
and (ii) the actual operating expenses incurred and/or accrued during the calendar year in
which such Amenity Assessment was last due and payable.
(E) In the event that the Association does not, by April 30 of each calendar
year, receive the total Amenity Assessment due from the The Sanctuary at 121 st Street
Homeowners Association, Inc as specified above in this Section 10.3, the Association
shall provide written notice to the The Sanctuary at 121 St Street Homeowners

enjoyment of the Common Areas, or by abandonment of the Residence belonging to such
Owner, may exempt himself or herself from paying Annual Assessments or Special
Assessments, or from contributing toward the expenses of administration and/or maintenance
and repair of the Common Areas and toward any other expense lawfully agreed upon. Each
Owner shall be personally liable for the payment of all Annual Assessments, Special
Assessments, Violation Assessments and all other charges. Where the Owner constitutes more
than one Person, the liability of such Persons shall be joint and several. If any Owner shall fail,

Special Assessments, or Violation Assessments when due, the lien for such Assessment on the
Owner's Residence may be foreclosed by the Board of Directors for and on behalf of the

failure of an Owner to make payments of any Annual Assessments, One -Time Assessment,
Special Assessments, or Violation Assessments within ten (10) days after such are due, the
Board of Directors, in its discretion and regardless of whether litigation is commenced, may:

incurred by the Association to the managing agent for processing delinquent Owners'
accounts;

Assessments, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the
purpose of preserving the Residence and to collect the rentals and other profits therefrom for the
benefit of the Association to be applied to the unpaid Annual Assessments, One -Time
Assessment, Special Assessments, and/or Violation Assessments. The Board of Directors may,
at its option, bring a suit to recover a money judgment for any unpaid Annual Assessments, One -
Time Assessment, Special Assessments, and/or Violation Assessments without foreclosing or
waiving the lien securing the same. In any action to recover an Annual Assessment, One -Time
Assessment, Special Assessment, and/or Violation Assessments, whether by foreclosure or
otherwise, the Board of Directors, for and on behalf of the Association, shall be entitled to
recover costs and expenses of such action incurred, including but not limited to collections costs
incurred by the Association to the managing agent for processing delinquent Owners' accounts
and reasonable attorney's fees, from the Owner of the respective Residence.
Section 12.12 Certificates. The Association shall, upon reasonable request by an Owner,
at any time, furnish a letter in writing signed by an officer of the Association, indicating the
accounting status of Assessments on a Lot showing the balance due the Association, if any.
Section 12.13 Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the Assessments
provided for herein against a Lot shall be subordinate to the lien of any recorded first mortgage
covering such Lot and to any valid tax or special assessment lien on such Lot in favor of any
governmental taxing or assessing authority. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the lien of
Assessments levied under this Article XII. The sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to mortgage
foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof shall, however, extinguish the lien of such
Assessments which became due or are attributable to the period of time prior to such sale or
transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any Assessments thereafter
becoming due or from the lien thereof.

CONTINUATION OF DEVELOPMENT
The Property is being developed by the Declarant into Lots intended for the construction
of detached single family residences. The Owners recognize that other areas within the Property
may be under development for an extended time. Incident to that development, the Owners

development of the Property. Declarant does not warrant in any way the schemes in these
renderings, plans or models. They are primarily schematic and in no way represent a final
development plan for the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Declaration, every Lot within the Property shall be developed by Declarant and sold only to a
Builder approved by Declarant.
