plans for same are in substantial accordance with those which have been previously
submitted to the Developer.

Owner’s building program. The Owner therefore shall provide the Developer with
preliminary artist renderings of the elevations of the buildings to be constructed
along with the site plans showing locations of all buildings prior to any construction.
It is understood that the site plans shall be consistent with the approved
governmental zoning then existent for the property. The Developer shall have a
period of two weeks from receipt of said document s in which to approve the
rendering and site plan. Said approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and should
Developer disapprove, it shall be within the time provided, given the Owner’s written
notice of its reasons for disapproval. Such disapproval shall not, at any time, limit
the Owner’s right to resubmit renderings and site plans until same are approved by
Developer in the reasonable manner required hereunder. Should Developer fail to
respond to a submittal of rendering and/or site plan within the time required, the
Developer shall be conclusively presumed to have approved same. Upon approval of
said renderings and/or site plan the Owners may proceed with the construction of
improvements as long as the final plans for same are in substantial accordance with
those which have been preciously submitted to the Developer.

23. The area(s) shown as “conservation areas” on the recorded plot of the property
subject to these Restrictions shall be left to remain and survive intact, in its present,
natural condition and state. The disturbance in any manner of the existing, natural
condition, character and state of “conservation areas”, or the vegetation thereon, or
the ecology, topography or bionomics thereof, is absolutely prohibited. It is the
intention of the undersigned that the “conservation areas” shall not be changed,
disturbed, used, affected or molested in any manner whatsoever, except as
permitted or required by law.

24. These covenants are to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and all
persons claiming under them for a period of 30 years from the date these covenants
are recorded, after which time said covenants shall be automatically extended for
successive periods of 10 years unless an instrument signed by a majority of the then
owners of the lots has been recorded, agreeing to change said covenants in whole or
in part.

25. If any person shall violate or attempt to violate any of the restrictions herein, it shall
be lawful for any other person or persons owning any real property which is subject
to this Declaration of Restrictions to prosecute any proceedings at law or in equity
against the person or persons violating or attempting to violate any such restrictions,
to prevent him or them from so doing, and/or to recover damages for such
violations.

26. Invalidation of any one of these covenants or any part thereof by judgment or Court
Order shall in no way affect any of the other provisions, which shall remain in full
force and effect.

27. Section 24, filed April 22, 1996: “Each Owner must repair, replace and maintain the
roofs, gutters, downspouts, lawns, shrubs, landscaping, walks, fencing, exterior
building surfaces, windows, doors, trim members, driveways, and other exterior
improvements and attachments from time to time situated on such owner’s lot. Each
Owner is required to sod his lot as appropriate. Each Owner’s duty of maintenance
includes any and all easement areas upon such Owner’s lot except as provided in
[Number 15 above]. No Owner may permit any waste to the exterior portions of such
Owner’s lot. Each Owner must make all repairs, maintenance and replacements
necessary to attachments and appurtenant driveways, if any, in a safe, sanitary and
