4. FUNDS AND ASSESSMENTS.

4.01. Operating Fund. The Association shall maintain an operating fund into which shall be deposited all monies received by the Association whether from maintenance assessments, special assessments, user fees, fines, income attributable to the fund itself or any other rents, charges or fees levied by the Association. Said fund shall comprise the working capital of the Association out of which the Association shall make all disbursements and discharge all liabilities in the performance of its duties and obligations and the exercise of its rights and powers under the Declaration and the Charter and By-Laws of the Association.

4.02. Maintenance Assessments.

(a) Within thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each fiscal year and the Association’s annual meeting, the Board shall prepare an estimate of the costs and expenses to be incurred by the Association during such fiscal year in performing its functions, duties and obligations, including but not limited to any obligation to provide upkeep and maintenance of all landscape areas along Subdivision roads. From said estimates, the Board shall subtract an amount equal to the anticipated balance (exclusive of any accrued reserves for contingencies and replacements) in the operating fund at the start of such fiscal year which is attributable to maintenance assessments in the preceding fiscal year; and the sum derived (hereinafter called the “total assessment basis”) shall constitute the basis for determining maintenance assessments in each fiscal year. The Board shall cause its budget for the operating fund (and the total assessment basis) to be delivered to each Owner at least fourteen (14) days prior to the annual meeting. The budget for the operating fund (and the total assessment basis) shall become effective unless disapproved at the annual meeting by a majority of the Owners present at such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event the budget for the operating fund (and the total assessment basis) is disapproved by the Association at its annual meeting or the Board fails for any reason to determine the budget for the operating fund (and the total assessment basis) for the succeeding fiscal year, then and until such time as a budget for the operating fund (and the total assessment basis) has been determined as provided herein, the budget for the operating fund in effect for the then current fiscal year shall continue for the succeeding fiscal year,

(b) The individual assessments to be paid by the Owners for their respective Lots shall be equal, except that the Association may impose a greater proportion upon any Lot which, or the owner or occupant of which, utilizes the roads or common areas to a substantially greater degree, or contributes to the wear and tear thereof in a substantially greater degree, than is usual in the subdivision, for the period of such utilization.

(c) If at any time during any fiscal year, the maintenance assessment proves inadequate for any reason, including the inability to collect any Owners’ share thereof, the Board may levy a further assessment in the amount of such actual or estimated inadequacy which shall be assessed to the Owners in the manner set forth in paragraph (b) above.

(d) Maintenance assessments shall be due and payable by the Owners to the Association in such manner as shall be fixed by the Board.

4.03. Special Assessments. The Board shall levy a special assessment against any Owner whose acts or failure or refusal to act or to otherwise comply with the Declaration or the Association Rules, causes the Association to incur any expense which would not normally have been incurred by the Association in the performance of its duties and obligations. Such assessments shall be in the amount of the extraordinary expense incurred and shall be due and payable to the Association when levied. Such extraordinary expenses shall be deemed to include without limitation, engineers’, architects’, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees when reasonably incurred by the Association.

4.04. Late Charges, Interest and Costs of Collection. If any assessment (including any special assessment) or any installment thereof is not paid within twenty (20) days after it is due and payable, the delinquent Owner shall be liable for and shall pay a late charge of $100.00 or five percent (5%) of the amount due, whichever is greater or such amounts as the Association may from time to time establish, to reimburse the Association for the cost of extra handling. In addition, all delinquent assessments shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due date thereof until fully paid. In connection with the collection of assessments, each Owner shall be liable for all costs of collection including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees based on the time spent and regardless of the amount being collected.

4.05. Nonpayment, Lien and Remedies. Each assessment under this Declaration shall be a separate, distinct and personal debt and obligation of the Owner against whom it is assessed, and each Owner by acceptance of an agreement of sale, deed, lease or other instrument of conveyance, whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such agreement of sale, deed, lease or other instrument, shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay the same to the Association, provided that no mortgagee, or any officer, director or trustee thereof, shall be personally obligated to pay any assessment. If the Owner does not pay such assessment or any installment thereof when due, the Owner shall be deemed in default and the amount of any unpaid assessment, together with the amount of any late charge, interest aforesaid, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be and become, notwithstanding any lease applicable to the property, a lien upon the fee simple interest in the property upon the filing by the Association of a notice of default in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii, and in the event a lessee of any Lot is deemed to be the Owner of such Lot, the lien shall attach to both the fee simple and leasehold estates. In case of a voluntary conveyance the grantee, vendee or lessee of any Lot shall be jointly and severally liable with the grantor, vendor or lessor for all unpaid assessments together with any late charge, interest, costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees which shall be a charge against the Lot at the time of the conveyance, without prejudice i-e (.lid right of the person receiving the conveyance to recover from the person making the conveyance the amounts so expended by the person receiving the conveyance. An amount shall be deemed a “charge” against a Lot as soon as it accrues even though no lien may have been filed. Any party to a conveyance shall be entitled upon written request to a statement from the Association setting forth the amount of any unpaid assessment together with any late charge, interest, cost of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees which may be a charge against a Lot; and neither the person making or receiving the conveyance shall be liable for, nor shall the Lot conveyed be subject to, a lien for any amount in excess of the amounts set forth in such statement. If the Lot is owned by more than one person, all co-owners shall be jointly and severally liable for all amounts constituting a charge against or lien upon the Lot. Such lien shall be subject to and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage on the Lot of such Owner described in paragraph 4.07 below. A foreclosure of any such paramount lien, whether by judicial proceedings or pursuant to a power of sale contained in such mortgage, shall extinguish the lien as to payments of assessments which become due prior to such sale, transfer or conveyance, but no such sale, transfer or conveyance shall relieve such Lot, or the purchaser or transferee thereof with regard to assessments thereafter becoming due except as to any mortgage as provided above. Association liens may be foreclosed through suit in like manner as a mortgage of real property, and the Association shall have power to bid on the Lot at foreclosure sale and to acquire and hold, lease, mortgage or convey the same. A suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid assessments shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the same. The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law for the enforcement of such assessment obligation.

4.06. Estoppel Certificate. When requested by an Owner, the Association shall execute a certificate stating the indebtedness secured by the lien upon the Lot of the Owner, and such certificate shall be conclusive upon the Association and the Owners in favor of all persons who rely thereon in good faith as to the amount of such indebtedness as of the date of the certificate. The Association shall be entitled to a reasonable fee as a condition to issuing the certificate.

4.07. Subordination of Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for in this Declaration shall be subordinate to the lien of any recorded mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon any of the Lots subject to assessment; provided, however, that such subordination shall apply only to the assessments which have become due and payable prior to the sale or transfer of such Lot pursuant to a decree of foreclosure, or any other proceeding in lieu of foreclosure, and such sale or transfer shall not relieve such Lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming due, nor from the lien of any subsequent assessment.

5. ENFORCEMENT.

5.01. Enforcement. Except as otherwise herein specifically provided, the Developer, the Association or any Owner or Owners shall have the right to enforce any and all of the restrictions, covenants and conditions, obligations, charges and liens now or hereafter imposed by or under the Declaration upon Owners or upon any property within the Subdivision and the costs of enforcement, including court costs and attorneys’ fees shall be paid by any Owner who has violated any such limitation, restriction, covenant or condition, or failed to pay and satisfy, when due, any such obligation charge or lien. No entry upon a Lot of any Owner or other action to enforce any such restriction, covenant, condition, obligation, lien or charge may be made or taken without first giving not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice and demand to the Owner in default to cure or rectify such default or breach involved. Any failure to enforce the provisions of any restriction, covenant, condition, obligation, lien or charge of the Declaration shall not constitute a waiver of any right to enforce any such provision or any other provision of the Declaraticn in any other case against or with respect to the same Owner or Lot or any other Owner or Lot. All the restrictions, covenants and conditions of the Declaration shall be liberally construed together to promote and effectuate the fundamental concepts and aims of the Subdivision as provided in this Declaration.

5.02. Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners shall keep and observe all laws and regulations promulgated by any governmental body having jurisdiction over such Owner or over the subdivision. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if any uses to which a Lot may be put under the provisions of this Declaration shall be or become illegal under applicable zoning ordinances or statutes, an Owner may use his Lot for any purpose which is lawful under such ordinance or statute, subject, however, to all other provisions of the Declaration which can lawfully apply to the Lot as so used. The restrictions, covenants and conditions of the Declaration shall be deemed independent and severable and the invalidity or partial invalidity of any provision or portion thereof or of any such restrictions, covenants or conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

6. AMENDMENT AND TERM.

6.01. Amendment. All of the restrictions, covenants and conditions in the Declaration, as amended herein, may be amended or repealed by an affirmative vote of the Owners holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes in the Association, at a meeting of the Association duly called, the notice of which meeting shall have stated as a purpose the consideration of such amendment or repeal as the case may be. Any amendment or repeal shall not become effective, however, until a written instrument setting forth in full the amendment or repeal of the Declaration and certifying that 3aid amendment or repeal has been approved by vote of the Owners pursuant to this paragraph 6.01 shall have been executed by two (2) duly authorized officers of the Association and recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances.

6.02. Term. All of the limitations, restrictions, covenants and conditions of the Declaration, as amended herein, shall continue and run with the land and remain in full force and effect, subject to amendment and repeal as provided above, for a period of twenty (20) years from the date hereof; provided, however, that if within one (1) year prior to the expiration of said period, the Owners holding at least fifty percent (50%) of the votes present at the meeting duly called to extend the term of this Declaration vote to continue the provisions of the Declaration, such provisions in effect immediately prior to the expiration date shall be continued for an additional period of ten (10) years and thereafter for successive periods of ten (10) years each if within one (1) year prior to the expiration of any such period, the Owners by similar vote to continue the provisions of the Declaration as aforesaid.
