<br />Section 2. The Association shall have one (1) class of voting membership. Each
<br />Owner shall be a Member. Owners shall be entitled to one vote for each Lot owned. When more
<br />than one person holds an interest in any Lot, all such persons shall be Members. The vote for
<br />such Lot shall be exercised as they among themselves determine, but in no event shall more than
<br />one vote be cast with respect to any Lot.
<br />Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each
<br />Owner of any Lot by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in
<br />such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) Regular annual
<br />maintenance Assessments or charges for the purposes hereinafter set forth in Section 2, (2)
<br />Regular Assessments for insurance on Properties, and (3) Assessments for capital improvements,
<br />such Assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. Such regular and
<br />special Assessments, together with interest, costs and reasonable attorney's fees, shall be and
<br />constitute, from the date levied until paid, a continuing charge against and lien upon such Lot
<br />against which each such Assessment is made, without any requirement of recording further
<br />notice of such lien. Each such Assessment, together with interest, costs and reasonable
<br />attorney's fees, shall also be the personal obligation of each person who was an Owner of such
<br />Lot at the time when the Assessment is due. The personal obligation for delinquent Assessments
<br />shall not pass to successor Owners unless expressly assumed by them, but unpaid Assessments
<br />shall be lien upon such Lot regardless of transfer or conveyance.
<br />Section 2. Purpose of Assessments. Assessments levied by the Association shall be
<br />used exclusively without any part of the net earnings inuring to the private benefit of its
<br />members, to promote and sustain their social welfare and otherwise provide for their health,
<br />pleasure, recreation, safety, and other nonprofitable interests by acquiring, maintaining,
