Owner of such property at the time when the assessment fell due.

this Article shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting
the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the residents of
Copenhaver and in particular for the acquisition, improvement
and maintenance of properties, services and facilities devoted

to the annual assessments authorized by Section 3 hereof, the
Copenhaver Homes Corporation may levy in any assessment year a
special assessment, applicable to that year only, for the purpose
of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction

first day of the month designated by the Board of Directors of
the Copenhaver Homes Corporation to be the date of commencement.
The first annual assessments shall be adjusted according to the
number of months remaining in the calendar year and such assessments
shall thereafter be on a full calendar year basis. The Board of
Directors shall fix the amount of the annual assessments against
each Private Dwelling Unit at least thirty (30) days in advance

specified in Section 7 hereof), then such assessment shall become

cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, thereupon
become a continuing lien on the property which shall bind such
property in the hands of the then Owner, his heirs, devisees,
personal representatives, successors and assigns. In addition
to the lien rights, the personal obligation of the then Owner
to pay such assessment shall remain his personal obligation and
shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed
by them.

delinquency date, the assessment shall bear interest from the
date of the delinquency at the rate of six (6) percent per annum,
and the Copenhaver Homes Corporation may bring legal action against
the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or to foreclose
the lien against the Property, and there shall be added to the
amount of such assessment the cost of preparing and filing the
complaint or bill in equity in such action, and in the event a
judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on
the assessment as above provided and a reasonable attorney's fee
to be fixed by the court together with the cost of the action.
Section 9. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of
the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the
lien of any mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon
the properties subject to assessment; provided, however, that
such subordination shall apply only to the assessments which have
become due and payable prior to a sale or transfer of such property
pursuant to a decree of foreclosure, or any other proceeding in
lieu of foreclosure. Such sale or transfer shall not relieve such
property from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming
due, nor from the lien of any such subsequent assessment. The
term mortgages shall include deed of trust or deeds of trust.

shall be assessed against the Private Dwelling Unit upon which
such maintenance is done and shall be added to and become part
of the annual maintenance assessment or charge to which such Private
Dwelling Unit is subject under Article V hereof and as part of
such annual assessment or charge, it shall be a lien and obligation
of the Owner and shall become due and payable in all respects
as provided in Article V hereof. Provided that the Board of Directors

assessment against each Private Dwelling Unit for any assessment
year as required under Article V hereof, may add thereto the estimated
cost of the exterior maintenance for the year but shall, thereafter,
