This Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Easements, Charges and Liens
(“Amended and Restated Declaration”) is made this 25th day of September 2001 by the Gwynedale Resident’s
Association, (“Residents Association”).

Background

A. The Gwynedale Development is a town home community consisting of 231 townhouses on individual lots together with
common open space, located at the intersection of Sumneytown Pike and Supplee Road in Upper Gwynedd Township,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The real property comprising the development consisting of the lots and the common
open space is described in Exhibit A attached hereto, incorporated herein and is referred to hereafter as the “Property”.

B. The Cutler Group Inc. (“Cutler”) developed the Property.

C. In connection with the development of the Property, Cutler created the Gwynedale Residents Association by a
Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements, Charges and Liens dated June 30, 1987 and recorded in the Office of the
Recorder of Deeds for Montgomery County on August 27, 1987 in Deed Book 4849 at Pages 611 et sec. A Declaration
amending the aforesaid Declaration dated September 22, 1987 was recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in
Montgomery County in Deed Book 4851 at Pages 2132 et sec. These two declarations together are referred to hereafter as the
“Association’s Declaration”.

D. Cutler also imposed certain restrictions on the property by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements and
Restrictions for Gwynedale Town House Development dated June 30, 1987 and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
Deeds for Montgomery County on August 27, 1987 in Deed Book 4849 at pages 591 et sec. (the “Restrictions Declarations”).

E. Cutler caused By-laws of the Gwynedale Residents to be created in 1987 that were amended by the Board of Directors of
the Residents Association on April 28, 1994 and May 25, 1994 (“Association By-Laws”).

F. The Association By-Laws permit the Board of Directors of the Residents Association from time to time to adopt rules
and regulations (“Rules and Regulations”).

G. The Association Declarations, Restrictions Declarations, By-Laws and Rules and Regulations are referred to hereafter
collectively as the “Association Documents”.

H. Cutler has completed construction at Gwynedale; all of the town homes have been transferred to persons other than
Cutler; and, in 1993, homeowners at Gwynedale assumed control of the Residents Association.

I. Since assuming responsibility for the operation and management of the Residents Association in 1993, the Board of
Directors has discovered that the Association Documents deal primarily with issues of concern to Cutler, mortgagees, and
Upper Gwynedd Township; are inadequate to the everyday needs of the Association; and do not conform to current
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania laws governing Residents Associations.

J. On December 19, 1996, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted the Pennsylvania Uniform Planned Community Act,
effective February 2, 1997, the “ Planned Community Act” which makes detailed provisions for the operation and
management of planned communities in Pennsylvania. The Board of Directors of the Residents Association believes it is in
the best interests of the Gwynedale Community to amend and restate the Association Declaration and the Restrictions
Declaration into a single Declaration (to be known as the “Amended and Restated Declaration”) which:

1. Restates the essential terms of those declarations.

2
2. Updates them to incorporate provisions of the Planned Community Act.

3. Provides the authority and mechanisms necessary to the proper governance of the Residents Association.

K. The Board of Directors has authorized the preparation of the Amended and Restated Declaration which, when approved
by two-thirds (154) owners of lots in the Gwynedale Community, and the governing body of Upper Gwynedd Township, will
govern the operation and management of the Residents Association.

Now therefore, the Gwynedale Residents Association, intending to be legally bound hereby, amends and restates the
Association Declaration and the Restrictions Declaration as follows:

Residents Association in the case of encroachments by the Common Facilities, a valid easement appurtenant to the Lot, upon
which the encroaching improvement is primarily situated, or Common Facilities for the encroachment and for the

Association shall have the right, and is hereby granted an easement to the full extent necessary therefore to enter upon the Lot
and to have the utility companies or authorities enter upon the Lot in or upon which the lines or connections, or any portion
thereof, lie, to repair, replace and generally maintain the lines and connections as and when they may deem the same
necessary. The Owner shall be responsible for restoring the surface of the easement area to the same condition that existed
prior to the exercise of this easement to the extent that the utility company or authority exercising the easement is not so
responsible or has not done so.

Whenever sanitary sewer lines and connections, water lines and connections, electricity lines and connections or telephone
lines and connections are installed within the Community which lines and connections serve more than one Lot, the Owner of
each Lot served by the lines and connection shall be entitled to the full use and enjoyment of the portions of the lines and
connections which serve his Lot.

In the event of a dispute between Owners with respect to repair or rebuilding of these utility lines and connections, or with
respect to the sharing of the costs thereof, then, upon written request of any one of these Owners, addressed to the Residents

Article XI Assessment Obligations of Owners

SECTION 11.01. Assessment Obligations of Owners.

A. Each Owner, by acceptance of the deed for his Lot, whether or not it shall be so expressed in his deed or other
conveyance, shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Residents Association (in addition to any other charges or
costs levied by the Residents Association pursuant to this Amended and Restated Declaration) all Assessments, including, but
not limited to the following:

1. Regular Assessments to be made due and payable on a periodic basis as reasonably determined from time to time by
the Board of Directors based upon the budget of the Residents Association;

2. Special Assessments established and collected from time to time as provided in this Amended and Restated
Declaration;

3. Any other charges or Assessments for what may be determined from time to time by the Residents Association, to
be Common Expenses; and

4. Any interest charges, attorneys fees, costs of collection, penalties or fines levied by the Board of Directors for non-
payment of Assessments or for non-compliance with the terms and provisions of the Amended and
14
Restated Declaration, the By-Laws or any rules or regulations created by the Board of Directors.

B. The Residents Association shall have the right to assess Limited Common Expenses against any one or more Lots to
provide services which are provided exclusively for these Lots, including, but not limited to, the improvement and
maintenance of Common Facilities used principally by or benefiting the Owners of these Lots. For purposes of this Amended
and Restated Declaration, Limited Common Expenses shall be included as Assessments and all provisions of this Article XI
that apply to Assessments shall apply to Limited Common Expenses.

C. The regular and special Assessments and Limited Common Expenses, together with any interest thereon, fines, late
charges and costs of collection thereof (including attorneys fees), as hereinafter provided, shall be a charge against the Lot
and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which each Assessment is made form the time the Assessment, fines, late
charges or costs of collection become due. Each Assessment, together with interest thereon, fines, late, charges and costs of
collection thereof (including attorneys fees) as hereinafter provided shall also be the personal obligation of the Owner who
was the Owner of the Lot at the time when the Assessment became due.

D. No Owner may exempt himself from contributing toward these expenses by waiver of the use or enjoyment of the
Common Facilities or by abandonment of the Lot owned by him or by setoff or counterclaim. The obligation to pay
Assessments, and Limited Common Expenses is absolute and unconditional and, in addition to being a covenant running with
the land, is a personal obligation of each Owner and shall not be subject to setoffs or counterclaims.

SECTION 11.02. Owner’s Negligence. Each Owner shall be obligated to reimburse the Residents Association for any
expenses incurred by it in repairing or replacing any part or parts of the Common Facilities damaged by his act, omission or
negligence or by the act, omission or negligence of his tenants, agents, guests or licensees, promptly upon receipt of the
Residents Association’s statement therefore.

SECTION 11.03. Surplus Funds. Any Common Surplus of the Residents Association remaining after payment of or
provision for Common Expenses and any payment of reserves may be used by the Residents Association as determined by
the Board of Directors.

SECTION 11.04. Time of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Declaration, payment of Assessments by the
Owner shall be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors; provided that all regular and special Assessments shall be
declared by the Board of Directors and made due and payable on a yearly, quarterly or monthly basis as determined by the
Board. The failure of the Board of Directors to formally declare Common Expense Assessment shall result in the Common
Expense Assessment for the immediately preceding year being the Common Expense Assessment applicable to and for the
current year.

SECTION 11.05. Lien for Assessments. All Assessments and charges chargeable to any Lot, including all fines, fees,
charges, late charges, interest, and costs of collection thereof (including attorneys’ fees), and penalties levied for non-
compliance with this Amended and Restated Declaration, the By-Laws and any rules and regulations of the Residents
Association shall constitute a lien again the Lot in favor of the Residents Association; provided that all fines, fees, charges,
late charges, interest, costs of collection (including attorneys’ fees and penalties) shall be subordinate to the lien of any
Eligible Mortgagee to the extent provided at Section 5315 of the Planned Community Act. This lien shall be effective from
and after the time the Assessment or charge becomes due and shall be evidenced by the recording in the Office of the
Recorder of Deeds in and for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, of a claim or lien stating the description of the Lot, the
name of the record Owner and the date when the Assessment or charge became due. This claim of lien shall include only

15
those sums that are due and payable when the claim of lien is recorded and shall be signed and verified by an officer of the
Residents Association. Upon full payment of all sums secured by the lien and payment of a preparation fee, the party making
payment shall be entitled to a recordable satisfaction of lien to be recorded at his sole expense.

SECTION 11.06. Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments. Any Assessment or installment thereof not paid within sixty (60)
days after the due date shall bear interest from the due date at the rate of fifteen (15%) percent per annum or a higher rate
permitted by law which the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine. The Board of Directors may assess fines,
late charges and costs of collection (including attorneys’ fees). The Board of Directors shall also have the right to declare a
delinquency Assessment, as established from time to time by the Board of Directors, against any Owner whose Assessments
are delinquent for a period exceeding fifteen (15) days from the due date. The Board of Directors shall have the right to
accelerate payment of any unpaid regular or special Assessments for the remainder of the fiscal year.

SECTION 11.07. Method of Enforcing Collection of Assessments. Any Assessment charged against a Lot may be enforced
by a lawsuit brought by the Board of Directors on behalf of the Residents Association and/or the Owners in an action at law
or equity against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or by executing the lien described in Section. 11.05 against
the Lot, or both, and it may seek whatever other remedy is available at law or in equity. In addition to these rights and
remedies available to the Residents Association, the Residents Association shall have the right to revoke the rights of an
Owner in the Residents Association, including the right to vote; provided the Residents Association shall give written notice
of this revocation and an opportunity for the defaulting Owner to be heard before the Board of Directors. The decision of the
Board of Directors shall be final. Any judgment against a Lot and its Owner shall be enforceable in the same manner as is
otherwise provided by law. Attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection expenses incurred by the Board of Directors incident to
the collection of any Assessments or the enforcement of any lien, together with all sums advanced and paid by the Board of
Directors for taxes and payments on account of superior liens which may be required to be advanced by the Board of
Directors in order to protect its lien, shall be payable by the Owner and secured by this lien.

SECTION 11.08. Unpaid Assessments at the Time of Execution Sale Against a Lot. In the event that title to a Lot is
transferred by sheriff’s sale pursuant to execution upon any lien against the Lot, the Board of Directors may give notice in
writing of any unpaid Assessments, which are a charge against the Lot but have not been reduced to a lien, to the sheriff and
the sheriff shall pay the Assessments of which he has notice out of the proceeds of the sale which remain in his hands for
distribution after payment of all other claims which he is required by law to pay, but prior to any distribution of the balance to
the former Owner against whom the execution issued. The purchaser at the sheriff’s sale and the Lot involved, shall not be
liable for unpaid Assessments which come due prior to the sheriff’s sale of the Lot, except to the extent of unpaid
Assessments that come due during the previous six month period provided at Section 5315 of the Planned Community Act,
which are not paid out of the proceeds of sale. Any unpaid Assessments which cannot be promptly collected from the former
Owner may be reassessed by the Board of Directors as a Common Expense to be collected from all the Owners of the Lot,
including the purchaser or acquirer of title at the sheriff’s sale, his successors and assigns. To protect its right to collect
unpaid Assessments that are a charge against a Lot, the Board of Director’s may, on behalf of the Owners, purchase the Lot at
sheriff’s sale provided this action is authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. If it does so
purchase, the Board of Directors shall thereafter have the power to sell, convey, mortgage or lease the Lot to any person
whatsoever.

SECTION 11.09. Voluntary Sale of a Lot. Upon the voluntary sale or conveyance of a Lot, or any other transfer by
operation of law or otherwise, except a transfer described in Sections 11.08 or 11.10 of the Amended and Restated

16
Declaration, and a transfer by Deed in lieu of foreclosure to a mortgagee, the grantee shall be jointly and severally liable with
the grantor for all unpaid Assessments for Common Expenses or Limited Common Expenses which are charges against the
Lot as of the date of the sale, conveyance or transfer. This joint and several liability shall be without prejudice to the right of
the grantee to recover from the grantor, in the amount of any unpaid Assessments which the grantee may pay, and until these
Assessments are paid, they shall continue to be a charge against the Lot, which may be enforced in the manner set forth in
Section 11.07 above; provided, however, any person who shall have entered into a written agreement to purchase a Lot shall
be entitled to obtain a written statement from the Treasurer of the Residents Association setting forth the amount of unpaid
assessments as of the date it is rendered, and neither the purchaser nor the Lot after transfer thereof shall be liable for the
payment of the amount in exc ess of the unpaid Assessments shown on the statement.

SECTION 11.10. Mortgage Foreclosure. If a mortgagee or other purchaser of a Lot acquires title to the Lot as a result of
foreclosure of the first mortgage, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the acquirer of title, his successors and assigns, shall not
be liable for the share of Common Expenses or other charges by the Residents Association pertaining to the Lot or chargeable
to the former Owner which accrue prior to acquisition of title as a result of the foreclosure, except for Common Expenses and
other Assessments that come due during the six month period provided at Section 5315 of the Planned Community Act. The
unpaid share of the charges shall be a Common Expense collectible from all Owners including the acquirer of the Lot by
foreclosure, his successors and assigns.

Article XII. Transfer and Leasing of Lots

SECTION 12.01. Transfer of Lots. Any Owner may, at any time, transfer all of his ownership in the Lot (which must

Association, the Association may collect the fine from the Owner of the leased Lot in the same manner as if the fine were
originally assessed against the Owner and his Lot. It shall be the obligation of the Owner to ensure that any fine assessed
against his tenant is paid in full to the Association.

F. The inclusion of Subsections C, D, E, and F of this Section 12.02 in a form of lease or addendum to a lease for the rental

of the complaint and hearing process and the enforcement of the Association documents and Rules and Regulations. Unless
the internal remedies provided by this Section and any Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Board of Directors shall be
expressly waived by the Residents Association, or the Residents Association fails or refuses to act, no action at law or in
equity shall be commenced by any Owner or occupant until this internal remedy is pursued to exhaustion. Any action by an
Owner or occupant against any other Owner or occupant arising out of any term covenant or condition contained in the By-
Laws, this Amended and Restated Declaration or any Rules and Regulations adopted pursuant thereto shall be subject to the
same procedures. In hearings before the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, all parties

Article XVI Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Committee Members.

SECTION 16.01. Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Committee Members. The Residents Association shall
indemnify every Director, officer and committee member, his heirs, executors and administrators, against all loss, costs and
expenses, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he
may be made by a party, by reason of his being or having been a Director, officer or a committee member of the Residents
Association, except as to matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in the action, suit or proceeding to be liable for
recklessness or willful misconduct. In the event of a settlement, indemnification shall be provided only in connection with
those matters covered by the settlement as to which the Residents Association is advised by independent counsel that the
person to be indemnified has not been guilty of recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty as a
Director, officer or committee member in relation to the matter involved. The foregoing rights shall not be exclusive of other
rights to which the Director, officer or committee member may be entitled. All liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses
incurred or suffered by the Residents Association by reason or arising out of or in connection with the foregoing
indemnification provisions shall be treated by the Residents Association as Common Expenses; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Article XVI shall obligate the Residents Association to indemnify any Member of the Association,
who is or has been a Director, an officer or a committee member with respect to any duties or obligations assumed or
liabilities incurred by him under and by virtue of his membership in the Residents Association.

GWYNEDALE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURE

1. REPORTING VIOLATIONS

All complaints concerning violations of the rules or of any provision of the Declaration or the Bylaws must be in writing. The
letter or Notice of Violation Form (see exhibit A) should be sent to the Board of Directors and must be signed by the owner
or the tenant. The complaint must be specific in details so that the Board can determine that an investigation is warranted.

2. INVESTIGATION

The complaint will be investigated by a member of the board or a member of the committee concerned to determine that the
complaint is justified and that a violation exists and must be corrected.

3. VIOLATION NOTICE

When an authorized person determines that a violation requires correction, the Association will send a written notice to the
owner and a copy to the tenant, where applicable, requesting him or her to correct the matter within 10 days in order to avoid
a penalty. The owner or tenant cited will be advised in the violation notice that he or she has the right to a hearing before the
Board. If requested, the request must be in writing and received within 10 days of issuance of the Notice.

4. FINES AND PENALTIES

If the owner or tenant cited in the violation notice makes a written request for a hearing within the 10-day period, a hearing
will be scheduled before the Board. A hearing notice will be mailed to the member. The owner or tenant cited will be entitled
to present evidence or an explanation as to why he or she believes no violation has occurred. The Board or other appropriate
person may present evidence or an explanation to substantiate the violation cited. After consideration of the matters
presented, the Board will decide whether a violation has occurred and either dismiss the violation or impose a fine. Failure to
appear will result in a fine as described below.

If the owner or tenant does not comply within the 10-day period and fails to request a hearing, a fine will be automatically
assessed and the Association will mail a letter advising of the amount of the fine. In most instances the fine will be in
accordance with the schedule shown in exhibit B. The Board has full authority to establish fines in accordance with the
seriousness of the violation. The fine (amount assessed) is due payable upon receipt of the notice and will be collected in the
same manner as assessments. Homeowner privileges in the Association may also be revoked or suspended if as a result of a
hearing, the member was found in violation, the member did not come into compliance and or pay the fine, whichever is
applicable.

5. LEGAL ACTIONS

In the event that a violation is not corrected and the fine is not paid, the Board will take legal action to obtain payment of the
fine and compliance with the regulation. The following costs will be assessed: enforcement costs including the court costs,
attorney's fees, etc.

A judgment awarded by the Court which remains unpaid constitutes a lien on the property

POLICY ON VIOLATIONS AND FINES

When a owner or tenant receives a FIRST NOTICE AND WARNING LETTER, the owner or tenant must correct or
remove the violation within ten (10) days, or within the time frame specifically stated in the documents of the Association as
cited in the letter. Should the owner or tenant fail to correct or remove the violation within that prescribed time, the Board
will take one of the following actions depending on the nature of the violation.

CONTINUING VIOLATION - If the violation is of a continuing nature, such as parking of an unauthorized vehicle or an
unauthorized change to the exterior of a townhouse, the owner or tenant will be fined $10 per day and costs. The daily fine
will be cumulative until such a time as the violation is corrected. If after 30 days the violation is not corrected, the Board of
Directors may exercise its authority as defined in the Declaration and will proceed with legal remedies. Such legal action
includes, but is not limited to the obtaining of a judgment for the unpaid fines and placing a lien against an owner's
townhouse. All legal fees, interest, court costs, other fees, and all other monies to which the association is entitled under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall be assessed to the owner or tenant.

INDIVIDUAL VIOLATION - If the violation is for a singular occurrence, such as allowing a pet to go unleashed on
association property, failure to remove and dispose of a pet's excrement (solid waste), or a non continuous parking violation,
the owner or tenant will be fined $100 and costs.

In the event that the Board of Directors assesses a fine, the owner or tenant will be notified by certified and regular mail. The
notice shall state the amount of the fine, the date the violation began or occurred, and all other pertinent information so that
the owner or tenant will understand why his/her conduct was a violation.
