202002679 <br />7.13 Classes of Members and Voting Rights. <br />The Association shall have the following two classes of voting membership: <br />Class A. Class A Members are all Owners, with the exception of the Declarant and <br />the Designated Builders until the termination of the Class B Membership. Each Class A <br />member shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Lot owned. Upon the termination of the <br />Class B Membership, the Declarant and the Designated Builder shall be Class A Members <br />so long as they own any Lot. <br />Class B. The Class B Members shall be the Declarant and the Designated Builders. <br />The Declarant and each Designated Builder shall be entitled to five (5) votes for each Lot <br />owned. The Class B Membership shall terminate and be converted to Class A Membership <br />within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which the votes held by Class A <br />Members exceed the votes held by the Class B Members. The Declarant or a Designated <br />Builder may at any time voluntarily relinquish its Class B Membership by giving written <br />notice thereof to the Association. <br />7.14 Voting Procedures. <br />No change in the ownership of a Lot shall be effective for voting purposes unless and until <br />the Board is given actual written notice of such change and is provided satisfactory proof thereof. <br />The vote for each such Lot must be cast as a unit, and fractional votes shall not be allowed. In the <br />event that a Lot is owned by more than one person and such Owners are unable to agree among <br />themselves as to how their vote or votes shall be cast, they shall lose their right to vote on the <br />matter in question. If any Member casts a vote representing a certain Lot, it will thereafter be <br />conclusively presumed for all purposes that he or she was acting with the authority and consent of <br />all other Owners of the same Lot unless objection thereto is made at the time the vote is cast. In <br />the event more than one vote is cast by a Class A Member for a particular Lot, none of the votes <br />shall be counted and all of the votes shall be deemed void. <br />7.15 Transfer of Membership. <br />The rights and obligations of any Member other than the Declarant shall not be assigned, <br />transferred, pledged, conveyed, or alienated in any way except upon transfer of ownership of an <br />Owner's Lot, and then only to the transferee of ownership of the Lot. A transfer of ownership of <br />a Lot may be effected by deed, intestate succession, testamentary disposition, foreclosure of a <br />mortgage of record, or such other legal process as now in effect or as may hereafter be established <br />under or pursuant to the laws of the State of Nebraska. Any attempt to make a prohibited transfer <br />shall be void. Any transfer of ownership of a Lot shall operate to transfer the Membership <br />appurtenant to said Lot to the Purchaser thereof. Each Purchaser shall notify the Association of <br />his purchase within ten (10) days after he becomes the Owner. <br />7.16 Conveyance or Encumbrance of Common Area. <br />The Association may grant permits, licenses, and easements on, over, under, and through <br />the Common Area for utilities, roads, and other purposes reasonably necessary or useful for the <br />proper maintenance and operation of the Property. In addition, the Association may convey <br />portions of the Common Areas to make adjustments in the boundary lines between the Common <br />Areas and adjoining Lots or public rights-of-way. Except as expressly permitted by this Section, <br />the Common Area shall not be mortgaged or conveyed without the prior written consent or <br />affirmative vote of the Owners holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes in the <br />Association. <br />7.17 Suspension of Voting Rights. <br />If any Owner fails to pay any Assessments or other amounts due to the Association under <br />the Community Documents within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due or if any Owner <br />violates any other provision of the Community Documents and such violation is not cured within <br />fifteen (15) days after the Association notifies the Owner of the violation, the Board shall have the <br />right to suspend such Owner's right to vote until such time as all payments, including interest and <br />attorneys' fees, are brought current and until any other infractions or violations of the Community <br />Documents are corrected. <br />Page 33 of 52 <br />
