superior to any other such lien, mortgage or other encumbrance. Sale
or transfer of any lot pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or any other
proceeding or deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall receive such lot(s) from assessments previously levied, but shall not relieve such lot(s) from
liability for any assessments assessed after such acquisition of title, nor

shall be laid within the roadway and other easements as shown on the Plats of
Flint Ridge No. 1-Amended, Flint Ridge No. 2, Flint Ridge No. 3 and Flint Ridge

residential lot(s) for the Owner to connect thereto, the Association may (although it is not obligated to do so) establish a uniform monthly standby
fee to be paid by such Owner(s) to the Association until the Owner(s) has connected to such water line.
When an Owner decides to connect to such water line, he must notify the Association and pay to the Association a water-connection fee of
$ . Such fee shall include the cost of a water meter to be
installed by the Association. The Association shall pay all cost of

Association which shall be uniformly applied throughout the Property and any additions thereto. Payment for Owner's water shall not be included in the annual assessments as provided for in Article V, Section 3.
Each Owner shall be solely responsible for the cost of laying the secondary
water line(s) from his residence to the meter and paying any cost of
repair and replacement thereof.
The Association may establish reasonable rules and regulation(s) for water usage and non-payment by any Owner(s) for water used, which shall include without limitation cutting off the supply of water to such defaulting Owner(s).
After the water-treatment plant, the water-storage reservoir and the main
water line distribution system have been conveyed and transferred to the Association, all future repairs, replacement, maintenance and operation
thereof shall be the responsibility of the Association, and any costs
thereof shall be paid by the Association and included in the maintenance assessments as provided in Article V, Section 3.
Section 12. Interim Monthly Assessments--Contract(s) Between Owner(s) and Developer. It being recognized by the developer until a sufficient number of residential lots have been sold to Owners (other than the Developer) in order
that the Association would have sufficient revenues to pay all costs of repair, maintenance, replacement, operation and management of the, Common Properties to be owned by the Association, the Developer may contract with
any prospective Owners for such Owner(s) to pay an agreed-upon maximum amount
for their share of the monthly assessment owing to the Association. In
such event, the Developer shall underwrite and pay any such excess cost
to the Association over and above the contracted amount.
