(2)
Special assessments for capital improvements, such assessments to be
fixed,
established, and collected from time to time as hereinafter provided.

and costs
of collection thereof, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a
continuing
lien upon the Property against which each such assessment is made. Each
such
assessment, together with such interest, costs and reasonable
attorney's fees,
shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner
of such
Property at the time such assessment was levied. The obligation shall
remain a
lien on the Property until paid or foreclosed, but shall not be a
personal
obligation of successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
2.
Purpose of
Assessments. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used
exclusively for the purpose of promoting the recreation, health,
safety, and
welfare of the residents in said Property and in particular for the
improvement
and maintenance of the Property, any Common Area, the services and
facilities
devoted to this purpose and related to the use and enjoyment of the
Common
Area, any of the Dwelling Units situated upon the Property and
including,
without limitation, the payment of taxes (if not assessed against the
Lot
Owners) and insurance on all or any part of said Common Area.

surfaces (including painting), landscaped areas, and other exterior
improvements. This assessment shall commence only when the Dwelling
Unit is
Protective Covenants, Conditions,
Declarations Page 4 of 8 and
Restrictions for Townhouses at
Timberhill
available for occupancy. Such
exterior maintenance shall not
include glass surfaces. In the event that the need for such maintenance
or
repair is caused through the willful or negligent act or omission of
the Owner,
the Owner's family, tenants, guests or invitees, the cost of such
maintenance
or repairs may, in the discretion of the Association, be added to and
become a
part of the assessment to which such Lot is subject, and a lien and
enforceable
in the same manner. Damage caused by fire, flood, storm, earthquake,
riot,
vandalism or other causes other than normal wear from use and the
elements

roofs of
Dwelling Units; (ii) maintenance and repair of shared driveways; (iii)
maintenance and repair of storm drain system; and (iv) other projected
capital
expenditures. Special assessments shall be assessed only against
completed
Dwelling Units.
4.
Date of
Commencement of Annual Assessments: Due Dates. All Dwelling Units and
all Lots
shall be subject to the assessments provided for herein on the first
day of the
month following the date the Owner takes title. The first regular
assessment
shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the
calendar
year.
5.
Effect of
Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association. Any assessments
which
are not paid when due shall be delinquent. If the assessment is not
paid within
thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest
from
the date of delinquency at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The
Association shall file in the office of the Director of Records, County
Clerk
or appropriate record of conveyances of Benton County, State of Oregon,
within
ten (10) days after delinquency, a statement of the amount of any such
charges
or assessments, together with interest as aforesaid, which have become
delinquent with respect to any Dwelling Unit or Lot on said Property,
and upon
payment in full thereof, shall execute and file a proper release of the
lien
securing the same. the aggregate amount of such assessments, together
with
interest, costs and expenses and a reasonable attorney's fee for the
filing and
enforcement thereof, shall constitute a lien on the whole Dwelling Unit
or Lot
with respect to which it is fixed from the date the note of delinquency
thereof
is filed in the office of said Director of Records or County Clerk, or
other appropriate
recording office, until the same has been paid or released as herein
provided.
Such lien may be enforced by the Association in the manner provided by
law with
respect to liens upon real Property. The Owner of said Property at the
time
said assessment is levied shall be personally liable for the expenses,
costs
and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees of the
Declarant or of
the Association, as the case may be, of processing and if necessary,
enforcing
such liens, all of which expense, costs and disbursements and
attorney's fees
shall be secured by said lien, including fees on appeal, and such Owner
at the
time such assessment is levied, shall also be liable for any deficiency
remaining unpaid after any foreclosure sale. No Owner may waive or
otherwise
escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use of
the
Common Areas or abandonment of the Dwelling Unit or Lot.
6.
Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the
assessments provided
for herein shall be inferior, junior and subordinate to the lien of all
mortgages and trust deeds now or hereafter placed upon said Property or
any
part thereof. Sale
or transfer of
any Dwelling Unit or Lot, or any
other part of said
Property shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or
transfer of
any Dwelling Unit or Lot which is subject to any mortgage, pursuant to
a decree
of foreclosure under such mortgage or any proceeding in lieu of
foreclosure
thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to amounts
thereof
which became due prior to such sale or transfer; and such lien shall
attach to
the net proceeds of sale, if any, remaining after such mortgages and
other
prior liens and charges have been satisfied. No sale or transfer shall
relieve
such Dwelling Unit or Lot from
liability or any
assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
7.

Property. The following Property subject to this Declaration shall be
exempt
from the assessments created herein; (a) all properties expressly
dedicated to

devoted to
dwelling use shall be exempt from said assessments.

such
time.

from the
date the note of delinquency thereof is filed in the office of said
Director of
Records or County Clerk, or other appropriate recording office, until
the same
has been paid or-released as herein provided. Such lien may be enforced

expense, costs and disbursements and attorney's fees shall be secured
by said
lien, including fees on appeal, and such owner at the time such
assessment is
levied, shall also be liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after
any
foreclosure sale. No owner may waive or other-wise escape liability for
the
assessments' provided for herein by non-use of the Common Areas or
abandonment of
his Dwelling Unit, Lot or, Building Site.
9. Subordination of the Lien to
Mortgages. The lien of the
assessments provided for herein shall be inferior, junior and
subordinate to
the lien of all mortgages and trust deeds now or hereafter placed upon
said property
or any part thereof. Sale or transfer of any Building, Lot or Building
Site, or
any other part of said property shall not affect the assessment lien.
However,
the sale or transfer of any Dwelling Unit or Lot or Building Site
which is
subject to any mortgage, pursuant to a decree of fore-closure under
such
mortgage or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall
extinguish the
lien of such assessments as to amounts thereof which became due prior
to such
sale or transfer; and. such lien shall attach to the net proceeds of
sale, if
any, remaining after such mortgages and other prior liens and charges
have been
satisfied. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot or Building Site
from
liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien
thereof.

property subject to this
Declaration shall be exempt from the assessments created herein; (a)
all
properties expressly dedicated to and accepted by a local public

become
delinquent with respect to any Dwelling Unit, Lot or Building Site on

proper
release of the lien securing the same. The aggregate amount of such

and trust
deeds now or hereafter placed upon said property or any part thereof. Sale

or Building Site,
or any other part of said property shall not affect the assessment
lien.
However, the sale or transfer of any Dwelling Unit or Lot or Building

extinguish the lien of such assessments as to amounts thereof which
became due
prior to such sale or transfer; and such lien shall attach to the net
proceeds
of sale, if any, remaining after such mortgages and other prior liens
and
charges have been satisfied. No sale or transfer shall relieve such

liability for any
assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
