Section 5.5 Membership in the Association; Voting Rights; Rationale of Representation. Immediately upon the issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation to the Association, each and every Owner, by virtue of being an “Owner�, automtically shall be a member of the Association. The Owners, as members of the Association, shall have the right of representative voting as provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the Association. Each Owner will be entitled to one vote for each Lot (as defined for voting purposes) owned by them. It is to be understood that such voting rights effectively will be limited until the last stages of development of the entire STARLIGHT PINES by the Declarant. The Articles of Incorporation of the Association basically will provide that the Board, which shall have the
exclusive right of determining and transacting the affairs of the Association, initially will consist of five (5) directors, each of whom shall be an employee, representative or designee of the Association. The Articles will provide that thereafter, upon the completion of constructions and/or occupation of 100 dwelling units within the Property, the Owners shall be entitled to have one director added to the initial five-man Board, until the total number of directors on the Board equals nine (9). At that time (when 400 dwelling units have been constructed and/or occupied within the Property), the total number of directors on the Board (nine) shall remain static. The Articles of Incorporation further shall provide that upon the first to occur of either of the following events: ( i ) A total of 400 dwelling units are constructed and/or occupied within the property; or ( ii ) December 31, 1990; the Owners thereafter shall be entitled to elect the entire Board (including the 5 directors, or their respective successors, theretofore elected by the Declarants) of the Association as provided in the Association’s Articles of Incorporation. The rationale of the foregoing voting plan is to permit the Company to have control of the Board (and thus control all acts by the Association) for a reasonable time to accomplish its overall plan of development for the model community of STARLIGHT PINES, and yet make it possible for the Owners to have increasing rights of representation in the preparation for assuming full control of the Board and the affairs of the Association.

Section 6.6 Rules Regarding Billing and Collection Procedures. The Association shall have the right to adopt rules and regulations setting forth procedures for the purpose of making the assessments
provided herein and for the billing and collection of the Annual Charges, provided that said procedures are not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.
