The personal obligation for delinquent Assessments <br />shall not pass to the successors in title of the Owner unless expressly assumed by them. <br />No Owner shall be exempt from liability for Assessments because of such Owner's non- <br />use of the Common Area, abandonment of such Owner's Lot, or other circumstance. The <br />obligation to pay Assessments is a separate and independent obligation on the part of each <br />Owner. No diminution or abatement of Assessments or set-off shall be claimed or allowed for <br />any alleged failure of the Association, the Board, or the DRC to take any action or perform any <br />function required of it. <br />8.2 Regular Assessments. <br />At least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each Assessment Period, the <br />Board shall prepare and adopt a budget of the estimated Common Expenses for the next <br />Assessment Period, including any contribution to be made to a reserve fund. The budget shall <br />also reflect the sources and estimated amounts of funds to cover such Common Expenses, which <br />may include any surplus to be applied from prior years, any income expected from sources other <br />than Assessments, and the amount to be generated through Assessments against the Lots.

If the Board fails to adopt a budget for any <br />Assessment Period, then until and unless such budget is adopted and a Regular Assessment is <br />levied by the Board for such Assessment Period, the amount of the Regular Assessment for the <br />immediately -preceding Assessment Period shall remain in effect. Unless approval or ratification <br />of the budget or the Regular Assessment for any Assessment Period is required by law, neither <br />the budget nor the Regular Assessment shall be required to be ratified or approved by the <br />Members. <br />If the Board determines during any Assessment Period that the funds budgeted for that <br />Assessment Period are or will be inadequate to meet all Common Expenses for any reason, <br />including without limitation nonpayment of Assessment by Owners, then the Board may amend <br />the budget and increase the Regular Assessment for that Assessment Period and the revised <br />Regular Assessment shall commence on the date designated by the Board. <br />8.3 Special Assessments. <br />The Association may levy a Special Assessment against each Assessable Lot for the <br />purpose of obtaining funds to pay the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair, or <br />replacement of an Improvement upon the Common Area (including fixtures and personal <br />property related thereto) or to pay unbudgeted expenses or expenses in excess of the amount <br />Page 45 of 67 <br />
