MEMBERSHIP AND VOTING RIGHTS IN THE ASSOCIATION

Section 1. Membership

Every person or entity who is a record owner of a tee or undivided fee interest, in any Lot or living Unit which is subject by covenants or record to assessment by the Association shall be a member of the Association provided that any such person or entity who holds such Interest merely as a security for the performance of an obligation shall not be a member, and provided as follows:

a) No member of the-Association shall be less than the age of 55 years, except a spouse or surviving spouse.

b) It is intended that these articles shall in no way limit or deprive any owner member of the Association or prospective member of his or her rights, privileges or immunities as provided under the Constitution of the United States and of New Jersey, and of any written or common law.

c) In the event that an owner of a Lot or Living Unit dies testate or intestate leaving as heirs a person or persons who do not qualify as a member of the Association, these restrictions shall in no way restrict ownership of said heir, provided, however, that said heir or heirs shall not occupy said Lot or Living Unit until he or she meets the membership requirements of the Association. This shall in no way preclude the right of the owner to lease the said premises or to grant occupancy as a resident to his invitee, or guest, etc., provided however, that in each Instance, such guest, invitee, occupant or lessee must first meet the requirements of the Association. The inability of any owner to become a member, or to occupy the premises for whatsoever reason, shall not in any way serve to exempt him of his obligation to pay the annual or special assessments. In the event a -person or persons obtain title to a Lot or Living Unit by the operation of law or court order, these articles shall in no way limit the right of the owner of said Lot or Living Unit, provided however, that said owner shall not occupy said Lot or Living Unit until he or she meets the requirements of the Association.

d) The owner or owners of a Lot or Living Unit by acceptance of the Deed conveying ownership from the grantor accepts said instrument subject to the right of the grantor, its successors and assigns and the Association to redeem any tax sale certificate or assignment thereof issued by the municipality and to acquire by reason of such redemption any and all rights accruing thereby in conformity with provision N.J.S. 54:5-54, any conveyance or alienation by the grantee, his heirs, successors, administrators and assigns to the contrary notwithstanding.

e) Membership in the Association shall lapse and terminate when any member shall cease to be the owner of record of a Lot or Living Unit.

Class A: Class A members shall be all those owners as defined in Section 1 with the exception of the Developer. Class A members shall be entitled to one vote for each Lot or Living Unit in which they hold the interests required for membership by Section 1. When more than one person holds such interest or interests in any Lot or Living Unit their vote shall be exercised as they among themselves determine, but in no event shall more than one vote be cast with respect to any such Lot or Living Unit. Where a Living Unit has more than one owner of record, and they are unable to agree on how to cast the one vote they are entitled to, each owner may cast Individual votes, except each will be entitled only to the fraction of a vote that is equivalent to their fraction of ownership in the Living Unit.

Class B: Class B member shall be the Developer. The Class B member shall be entitled to four votes for each Lot or Living Unit in which it holds the interests required for membership under Section 1 of this Article. The Class 8 membership shall cease and become converted to Class A Membership upon whichever event occurs first of either of the following two events:

1. When the total votes outstanding in the Class A membership equal the total votes outstanding in the Class B membership, or
2. On December 31, 1980.

From and after the happening of these events, whichever occurs earlier, the Class B member shall thereupon be entitled to one vote for each Lot or Living Unit it owns.

It is the Intention of the Developer, in creating the 2 classes or membership and the ratio as described above, that during the early development stages of the Association and of the General Plan of Development, that the Developer have control over each and every transaction of the Association, and that as more lots are sold, the Developer's role will decrease proportionately.

The acquirer of title to a Living Unit shall be jointly and severally liable with his predecessor in title thereto for the amounts owing by the latter to the Association up to the time of the transfer of title, without prejudice to the acquirer's right to recover from his predecessor In title the amount paid by him as such joint debtor.

In the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the assessment as above provided and a reasonable attorney's fee to be fixed by the courts, together with the cost of the action.
