ORAL ARGUMENT IS NOT REQUESTED

This appeal involves the Trial Court’s error in (a) denying the Association’s

motion for summary judgment regarding the right to enforce the restrictive

covenants of the Association and by (b) granting, in part, the Wolfs’ motion for

summary judgment. The facts and legal argument are adequately presented in this

brief and the record, and the issues before the Court are not new or complex. As

such, it is believed this Court can decide the issues of law on the briefs and no oral

argument is necessary. However, if the Court should schedule an oral argument, the

Association would like to participate.

v
STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Nature of the case:

The Association appeals the Trial Court’s Order Granting in Part and

Denying in Part Defendants’ Traditional and No-Evidence Motion for Summary

Judgment and Denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment entered into on

October 5, 2025 (the “Order”). CR:467; Apx:Ex.A1. This case involves a dispute

concerning enforcement of restrictive covenants and the limitations which can be

enacted and enforced.

The restrictive covenants applicable to the Wolfs’ property specifically

prohibit owners from constructing, altering, modifying, or installing any

improvements upon a lot without the advanced written approval of the Association

through the Architectural Committee (the “AC”). CR:19-135; Apx:Ex.B. The Wolfs

installed a free-standing pole on their property, and mounted a security camera on

top, which provides views down the street without approval of the AC. The

Association sued the Wolfs to enforce the applicable restrictive covenants and

require the pole, not the cameras, to be removed. Citing to Tex. Prop. C. §

202.023(b), the Trial Court denied the Association’s claims in their entirety and

“CR:XX:XX” refers to the Clerk’s Record (followed by the Clerk’s Record page or other
identifying number).

“Apx:Ex.X” refers to the Appendix attached hereto (followed by the Appendix’s Exhibit Letter).
vi
disregarded the fact that Association’s denial was only with respect to the free-

standing pole, and not the security camera. Apx:Ex.C. Moreover, the Trial Court

erred in granting the Wolfs claims that no restrictions or limitations whatsoever

could be placed on the installation of items related to a security measure, despite the

property being subject to legally enforceable restrictive covenants. The Trial Court

erred in interpreting the Property Code to broadly prohibit a homeowners association

from enforcing any restrictive covenant that merely relates in any way to a security

measure.

ISSUES PRESENTED

1. The Trial Court erred by (a) denying the Association’s motion for summary
judgment regarding the right to enforce the restrictive covenants of the
Association; and by (b) granting, in part, the Wolfs’ motion for summary
judgment.

ix
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

The Trial Court erred by denying the Association’s motion for summary

judgment regarding the right to enforce the restrictive covenants of the Association.

Further, the Trial Court erred in by granting, in part, the Wolfs’ motion for summary

judgment, because §202.023(b) of the Texas Property Code ONLY prohibits a

homeowners association from enforcing restrictive covenants that would prevents

an owner from installing a security measure, like a camera. Apx:Ex.C. To the

contrary, in this case, the Association simply sought to regulate the installation of a

previously nonexistent 25-foot pole in the front yard of the property, which simply

is not in accordance with the governing documents for the Association, and does

not fit harmoniously in the neighborhood. Specifically, as indicated in the Design

Guidelines applicable to the property, “[t]he objective of the review process is to

promote aesthetic harmony within the Community by providing for compatibility

of specific designs with surrounding buildings, the environment and the

topography.” Design Guidelines, P. 4. Apx:Ex.E. Without the 25-foot pole, the

Wolfs would still have the ability to install as many security cameras as they would

like on the currently existing structures on their lot. The Association has made no

attempt to limit the installation of ANY security cameras on the Wolfs’ lot or any

others. As such, the judgment should be reversed and rendered in favor of the

Association.

1
STATEMENT OF FACTS

The Wolfs are the owners of that certain real property legally described as

Lot 25, Block “7”, of WEST CYPRESS HILLS PHASE ONE SECTION TWO, a

subdivision in Travis County, Texas, according to the map or plat, of record in

Document No. 200600222, of the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas,

more commonly known as 21813 Agarito Lane, Spicewood, Texas 78669

(hereinafter referred to as the “Property”) by virtue of that certain Warranty Deed

with Vendor’s Lien, dated December 30, 2015, and recorded at Document No.

2015206393 in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas. CR:145.

The Property is located entirely within West Cypress Hills Phase One

Section Two, a subdivision in Travis County, Texas according to the map or plat of

record as recorded in Document Number 200600222, of the Official Public Records

of Travis County, Texas (the “WCH Master Subdivision”). CR:146.

Importantly, the WCH Master Subdivision and lots contained therein are

subject to that certain West Cypress Hills Amended and Restated Master

Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, recorded as Document No.

2006222235 in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, as amended

and supplemented (the “Master Declaration”). CR:146; Apx:Ex.B. The Property is

further subject to that certain West Cypress Hills Development Area Declaration

Phase One, Section Two recorded as Document No. 2006222238 in the Official

2
Public Records of Travis County, Texas, as amended (the “Development Area

Declaration”). CR:6; Apx:Ex.B.

The Master Declaration establishes the Association as the property owners’

association for the WCH Master Subdivision and vests it with the power, duty, and

responsibility of administering and enforcing the restrictive covenants contained

within the Master Declaration. CR:11; Apx:Ex.B.

The Development Area Declaration also establishes the Association as a

property owners’ association for the specific development area in which the

Property is located and vests the Association with the power, duty, and

responsibility of administering and enforcing the restrictive covenants contained

within the Development Area Declaration. CR:11; Apx:Ex.B.

The Property is subject to restrictive covenants established by both the

Master and Development Area Declarations that regulate the design, use, and

appearance of the Lots within the WCH Master Subdivision. CR:6; Apx:Ex.B.

The Master Declaration prohibits owners from constructing, altering,

modifying, or installing any improvement without the advanced written approval of

the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, which is the Architectural Committee (the

“ACC”). Master Declaration, Section 6.04. CR:57; Apx:Ex.B. Further, the

Development Area Declaration requires that any improvement must strictly comply

with the Design Guidelines and must have prior written approval of the ACC.

3
Development Area Declaration, Section 3.02, 3.02, and 3.12. CR:101,104;

Apx:Ex.B.

The Wolfs installed a 25-foot tall pole in their front yard and then mounted

at least one security camera on top (the “Improvement”). CR:231. The Association

denied the Wolfs request for AC approval of the installation of this Improvement

during the initial review of the request for approval, and after a hearing with the

Board of Directors for the Association (the “Board”) ,and specifically notated that

the installation of a security camera was not being denied but that the free-standing

25-foot pole installed on the Property was denied; after receiving such denials, the

Wolfs proceeded with the installation of the Improvement anyway. CR:138-142.

The Association has notified the Wolfs that the Improvement is a violation of the

Master Declaration and the Development Area Declaration (collectively, the

“Declarations”). CR:141-142. The Wolfs have failed and refused to remove the

Improvement, and the Improvement remains on the Property in violation of the

Declaration. CR:188-189.

Ultimately, the Trial Court entered a Summary Judgment on October 6, 2025,

in which the Trial Court denied the Association’s motion for summary judgment,

denied the Wolfs’ motion for summary judgment with respect to the request for

sanctions and granted the Wolfs’ motion for summary judgment in respect to the

Association’s claims. CR:467; Apx:Ex.A.

4
Pursuant to the Order, the Trial Court ordered each party bear their owns

court costs and attorneys’ fees and that this was a final, appealable order. CR:467;

Apx:Ex.A.

In other words, the Trial Court interpreted Section 202.023(b) of the Texas

Property Code to disallow the enforcement of ANY covenant that would operate in

any way to restrict an owner from installing any security device they might desire,

regardless of any particular aspect of the installation. Apx:Ex.C.

Finally, the Master Declaration states:

“6.01 Purpose. This Master Declaration creates rights to regulate the
design, use, and appearance of the Lots in order to preserve and enhance
the Property's value and architectural harmony. One purpose of this
Article is to promote and ensure the level of taste, design, quality, and
harmony by which the Property is developed and maintained. Another
purpose is to prevent Improvements and modifications that may be
widely considered to be radical, curious, odd, bizarre, or peculiar in
comparison to the then existing improvements. A third purpose is to
regulate the appearance of every aspect of proposed or existing
Improvements, including but not limited to dwellings, buildings,
fences, landscaping, retaining walls, yard art, sidewalks, and
driveways, and further including replacements or
modifications of original construction or installation. During the
Development and Sale Period, a primary purpose of this Article is to
reserve and preserve Declarant' s right of architectural control.”
CR:55; Apx:Ex.B.

ARGUMENT

1. The Trial Court erred by (a) denying the Association’s motion for
summary judgment regarding the right to enforce the restrictive
covenants of the Association; and by (b) granting, in part, the Wolfs’
motion for summary judgment.

The standard of review of a Trial Court’s granting a traditional motion for

summary judgment is de novo. Mid-Century Ins. Co. v. Ademaj, 243 S.W.3d 618,

621 (Tex. 2007).

The moving party is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law when

there is no genuine dispute of material fact. Chavez v. Kansas City S. Ry. Co., 520

S.W.3d 898, 900 (Tex. 2017). Further, the Trial Court should only grant a

defendant’s summary judgment if the defendant (1) negates at least one element of

each of the plaintiff’s causes of action, or (2) conclusively establishes each element

of an affirmative defense. Clark v. ConocoPhillips Co., 465 S.W.3d 720, 724 (Tex.

App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2015, no pet.).

a. The Trial Court erred by (a) denying the Association’s motion for
summary judgment regarding the right to enforce the restrictive
covenants of the Association.

As shown in the evidence submitted to the Trial Court, the Wolfs are the

owners of the Property. CR:145. As described in detail above, the Property is subject

to the Association’s restrictive covenants. CR:146; Apx:Ex.B.

The interpretation of the governing documents of a homeowners’ association

is subject to the general rules of contract construction. C.A.U.S.E v. Vill. Green
6
Homeowners Ass’n, Inc., 531 S.W.3d 268, 274 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2017, no

pet.) (citing Pilarcik v. Emmons, 966 S.W.2d 474, 478 (Tex. 1998)); Uptegraph v.

Sandalwood Civic Club, 312 S.W.3d 918, 925 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2010,

no pet.)(same); Goddard v. Northhampton Homeowners Ass’n, Inc., 229 S.W.3d

353, 356 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2007, no. pet.)(same). The court’s primary duty is

to ascertain and give effect to the parties’ intentions as expressed in the document.

Uptegraph at 925 (citing Bank United v. Greenway Improvement Ass’n, 6 S.W.3d

705, 707 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. denied)); see Tarr v.

Timberwood Park Owners Ass’n, Inc., 556 S.W.3d 274, 280 (Tex. 2018) (citing

Wilmoth v. Wilcox, 734 S.W.2d 656, 658 (Tex. 1987)); Frost Nat’l Bank v. L & F

Distribs., Ltd., 165 S.W.3d 310, 311-12 (Tex. 2005)(per curiam); J.M. Davidson,

Inc. v. Webster, 128 S.W.3d 223, 229 (Tex. 2003).

A court must consider the entire writing and attempt to harmonize and give

effect to all the provisions of the contract by analyzing the provisions with reference

to the whole agreement. Frost Nat’l Bank at 312. “No single provision taken alone

will be given controlling effect; rather all the provisions must be considered with

reference to the whole instrument.” Webster at 229. Additionally, Texas Property

Code Section 202.004(a) states: “an exercise of discretionary authority by a property

owners’ association or other representative designated by an owner of real property

concerning a restrictive covenant is presumed reasonable unless the court determines

7
by a preponderance of the evidence that the exercise of discretionary authority was

arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory.” TEX. PROP. CODE §202.004(a). Apx:Ex.C.

The elements of breach of contract in Texas are well established and they are:

(1) There is a valid, enforceable contract; (2) The plaintiff performed or was excused

from performing its contractual obligations; (3) The defendant breached the contract;

and (4) the defendant’s breach caused the plaintiff injury. Valero Mktg. & Sup. Co.

v. Kalama Int’l, 51 S.W. 3d 345, 351 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).

Despite proof of the elements of the Wolfs’ breach of the restrictive covenants, the

Trial Court denied the Association’s motion for summary judgment under the

erroneous assumption that an association cannot restrict the installation of a 25-foot

tall pole in the front yard of the Property, outside the applicable setback area, and

without the approval of the Association.

Texas Property Code §202.023 provides in relevant part,

“(b) …Except as provided by Subsection (c), a property owners’ association

may not adopt or enforce a restrictive covenant that prevents a property owner from

building or installing security measures, including by not limited to a security

camera, motion detector, or perimeter fence.

(c) This section does not prohibit a property owners’ association from:

(1) prohibiting the installation of a security camera by a property owner in a

place other than the property owner’s private property;…”

8
TEX. PROP. C. §202.023(b) & (c)(1). Apx:Ex.C.

To be clear, the Association has never denied the Wolfs’ application with

respect to the installation of any security camera on the Property; instead, the

Association denied the installation of a 25-foot tall, freestanding pole on the Property

that is being used to support a security camera. CR:138-142. The Association, on

numerous occasions, made clear to the Wolfs that they COULD install a security

camera or cameras on their property – just not on the unapproved freestanding pole.

CR:138-142. Despite the denial of the application to install the freestanding pole,

the Wolfs moved forward with the installation of the pole under the erroneous

assumption that §202.023 of the Texas Property Code did not allow for any

restrictions on the installation of any improvement even tangentially related to a

security camera. CR:231; Apx:Ex.C..

This interpretation of the statute by the Wolfs, and by the Trial Court, is

erroneous. Taking this interpretation to its logical conclusion, the statute would then

allow for a homeowner to build a moat around a property and fill it with alligators,

as long as such an improvement could be called a “security measure”. Or an owner

would be permitted, despite any restriction to the contrary, to build a 100-foot tall

observation tower, so long as a security camera were mounted on top. Such a broad

and patently illogical interpretation of §202.023 will essentially allow a homeowner

to install any improvement they desire, so long as a security camera goes on top,

9
virtually destroying the purpose of most restrictive covenants across this state.

Certainly, this was not the intent of the legislature in adopting Section 202.023 of

the Texas Property Code. Apx:Ex.C. The failure to allow for any types of regulation

of any improvement, so long as it is merely related to a security measure, is irrational

and contrary to common sense. As such, the Trial Court erred in denying the

Association’s motion for summary judgment in regard to the Wolfs’ breach of the

restrictive covenants of the Association.

Further, it should be noted that even within §202.023, subpart (c)(1) clearly

makes an exception to the prohibition and expressly allows for an association to

prohibit the placement of a security camera anywhere other than the owner’s private

property. Apx:Ex.C. The legislature clearly thought that an owner’s right to install a

camera needed to be balanced against the rights of other parties.

b. The Trial Court erred in (b) granting, in part, the Wolfs’ motion for
summary judgment.

For a Trial Court to grant a defendant’s motion for summary judgment, the

defendant must (1) negate at least one element of each of the plaintiff’s causes of

action, or (2) conclusively establish each element of an affirmative defense. Clark v.

ConocoPhillips Co., 465 S.W.3d 720, 724 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2015,

no pet.). The Wolfs’ sole argument relied upon the interpretation that §202.023 of

the Texas Property Code does not allow for any restrictions or limitations on the

installation of a security camera. CR:215-217; Apx:Ex.C.. The Wolfs did not, in fact,
10
negate any element of the Association’s causes of action, but instead acknowledged

the fact that the free-standing pole and cameras were installed by the Wolfs on the

Property without gaining approval from the Architectural Committee because they

are security measures. CR:146. This acknowledgment establishes that the Wolfs’

actions were taken despite the knowledge that approval for installation of an

improvement is necessary and acknowledging a breach of the restrictive covenants.

Additionally, the Wolfs acknowledge that the Association did approve the cameras

to be mounted on the house but did not approve the freestanding 25-foot pole mount

on the lot, and outside the building envelope – in other words, in direct contravention

of the setback requirement found in Section 3.08 of the Development Area

Declaration. CR:104; Apx:Ex.B.

Appellees state that the cameras were installed “in their front yard as a security

measure with a view of the street” due to repeated vehicle break-ins in the

subdivision. CR:255. There is simply no evidence that a camera mounted

somewhere else other than a freestanding, 25-foot pole, erected outside the available

building envelope is the only way to provide for a view of the street or of the Wolfs’

vehicles. Put another way, the Wolfs have not shown, or provided even a scintilla of

evidence, that the Association’s denial of the 25-foot pole prohibits them from

having a security camera, or even prevents them from their stated and desired use of

11
such camera. For all of these reasons, the Wolfs’ motion for summary judgment

should have been denied.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

As the Trial Court erred in dismissing the Association’s claims against the

Wolfs entirely regarding the right to enforce the restrictive covenants of the

Association, and because the Trial Court erred in denying the Association’s motion

for summary judgment, this case should be reversed and judgment rendered for the

Association, in part, and remanded in part, so that the Trial Court may award the

attorney fees of the Association expended in this appeal, and for any other and

further relief for which the Association may be entitled.

or Condominium Unit. Certain encumbrances may benefit parties whose interests are not
addressed by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Each Owner is further advised that as of the date of this Master Declaration, local
governmental authorities may require that the Owner obtain from the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer approval of all Improvements proposed to be located on a Lot or Condominium Unit
prior to submitting plans for the Improvements to the local governmental authorities for
approval. Each Owner is further advised that if any local governmental authority requires pre-
approval of all Improvements prior to submission to the local authority for approval, any
approval granted by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, or any notation on the plans signifying
West Cypress Hills Reviewer approval, is conditional and no Improvements may be
constructed on the Lot or Condominium Unit until the Owner has submitted to the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer a copy of the plans and specifications approved by the local
governmental authority and the West Cypress Hills Reviewer has issued to the owner a "Notice
to Proceed.". In the event of a conflict between the plans and specifications approved by the
West Cypress Hills Reviewer and the plans and specifications approved by a local

governmental authority, the West Cypress Hills Reviewer may require that the Owner resubmit
the plans and specifications for re-approval by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, may withdraw
the approval previously granted to the Owner, or may require that the Owner apply to the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer for a variance. Each Owner acknowledges that no local governmental
authority has the authority to modify the terms and provisions of this Master Declaration, any
Development Area Declaration, or the Design Guidelines applicable to the Development. A
local governmental authority may change or modify the requirements and procedures
applicable to their approval of plans and specifications for the construction of Improvements,
and each Owner is advised to contact each local governmental authority to obtain a current
version of such requirements and procedures.

NOTICE
This Master Declaration, any Development Area Declaration, the Design Guidelines, and the
rules and regulations adopted by the Board are subject to change from time to time. By owning
or occupying a Lot or Condominium Unit, you agree to remain in compliance with this Master
Declaration, any applicable Development Area Declaration, the Design Guidelines, and the
rules and regulations, as they may change from time to time.

2.02 Incorporation of Development Area Declarations. Upon recordation of a
Development Area Declaration in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, such
Development Area Declaration will, automatically and without the necessity of further act, be
incorporated into, and be deemed to constitute a part of this Master Declaration, to the extent
not in conflict with this Master Declaration, but will apply only to the Development Area
described in and covered by such Development Area Declaration. Without limitation on the
foregoing, upon recordation of a Development Area Declaration in the Official Public Records
of Travis County, Texas with respect to all or any portion of the Property, the Original
Declaration shall be deemed to have been further amended and restated as set forth in such
Development Area Declaration.

2.03 Conceptual Plans. All master plans, site plans, brochures, illustrations,
information and marketing materials relating to the Property (collectively, the "Conceptual
Plans") are conceptual in nature and are intended to be used for illustrative purposes only. The
land uses reflected on the Conceptual Plans are subject to change at any time and from time to
time, and it is expressly agreed and understood that land uses within the Property may include
uses which are not shown on the Conceptual Plans. Neither Declarant nor any homebuilder or
other developer of any portion of the Property or the Development makes any representation or
warranty concerning such land uses and it is expressly agreed and understood that no Owner
will be entitled to rely upon the Conceptual Plans in making the decision to purchase any land
or Improvements within the Property or the Development. Each Owner who acquires a Lot
within the Development acknowledges that the Development is a master planned community,
the development of which is likely to extend over many years, and agrees that the Association
will not engage in, or use Association funds to support, protest, challenge, or make any other
form of objection to changes in the Conceptual Plans as they may be amended or modified from
time to time.

2.04 Provision of Benefits and Services to Service Areas.

(a) Declarant, in a notice of applicability filed pursuant to Section 10.05 or in
any written notice recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, may
assign Lots and/or Condominium Units to one or more Service Areas (by name or other
identifying designation) as it deems appropriate, which Service Areas may be then
existing or newly created, and may require that the Association provide benefits or
services to such Lots and/or Condominium Units in addition to those which the
Association generally provides to the Development. Declarant may unilaterally amend
any notice of applicability or any written notice recorded in the Official Public Records
of Travis County, Texas, to re-designate Service Area boundaries. All costs associated
with the provision of services or benefits to a Service Area will be assessed against the
Lots and/or Condominium Units within the Service Area as a Service Area Assessment.

(b) In addition to Service Areas which Declarant may designate, any group
of Owners may petition the Board to designate their Lots and/or Condominium Units as
a Service Area for the purpose of receiving from the Association: (a) special benefits or
services which are not provided to all Lots and/or Condominium Units, or (b) a higher
level of service than the Association otherwise provides. Upon receipt of a petition
signed by Owners of a majority of the Lots and/or Condominium Units within the
proposed Service Area, the Board will investigate the terms upon which the requested
benefits or services might be provided and notify the Owners in the proposed Service
Area of such terms and the charge to made therefor, which may include a reasonable
administrative charge in such amount as the Board deems appropriate (provided, any
such administrative charge will apply at a uniform rate per Lot and/or Condominium
Unit among all Service Areas receiving the same service). Upon written approval of the
proposal by Owners of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Lots and/or
Condominium Units within the proposed Service Area, the Association will provide the
requested benefits or services on the terms set forth in the proposal. The cost and
administrative charges associated with such benefits or services will be assessed against
the Lots and/or Condominium Unit within such Service Area as a Service Area
Assessment.

ARTICLE III
WCH MASTER COMMUNITY, INC.

3.01 Organization. The Association is a nonprofit corporation created for the
purposes, charged with the duties, and vested with the powers of a Texas non-profit
corporation. Neither the Certificate nor Bylaws will for any reason be amended or otherwise
changed or interpreted so as to be inconsistent with this Master Declaration.

Page 33
3.02 Neighborhoods. Every Lot and Condominium Unit will be located within a
Neighborhood. Lots and Condominium Units are grouped into "Neighborhoods" to: (i)
facilitate a system of representative voting on matters which this Master Declaration or any
Development Area Declaration require approval of the Association's membership; and (ii) to
promote a sense of community and belonging by permitting Owners and residents within a
Neighborhood to share, discuss and take action on issues unique to their Neighborhood. A
Neighborhood may be comprised of any number of Lots or Condominium Units and may
include Lots or Condominium Units of more than one type, as well as Lots or Condominium
Units that are not contiguous to one another. Each Neighborhood will elect one "Neighborhood
Delegate" to cast the votes allocated to all Lots and Condominium Units in that Neighborhood
on matters requiring a vote of the Owners, as described below in this Article 3.

Each notice of applicability filed pursuant to Section 10.05 for the purpose of annexing
portions of the Property into the Development, or another written notice executed by Declarant
and recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, shall initially assign the
property described therein to a specific Neighborhood which may then be existing or newly
created. Declarant may record an amendment to any previously recorded notice to designate or
change Neighborhood boundaries.

3.03 Membership.

(a) Any person or entity, upon becoming an Owner, will automatically
become a Member of the Association. Membership will be appurtenant to and will run
with the ownership of the Lot or Condominium Unit that qualifies the Owner thereof for
membership, and membership may not be severed from the ownership of the Lot or
Condominium Unit, or in any way transferred, pledged, mortgaged or alienated, except
together with the title to such Lot or Condominium Unit.

If you acquire a Lot or Condominium Unit you automatically become a member of the
Association. Membershi is Mandato !

(b) If required by the Board, each Owner, other than Declarant, must execute
a Membership Agreement and deliver the same to the Association prior to or
concurrently with the recording of a deed conveying fee title to a Lot or Condominium
Unit to such Owner. Each Owner must notify the immediate transferee of his Lot or
Condominium Unit of such transferee's obligation to execute and deliver a Membership
Agreement, but the failure to notify a transferee will not relieve such transferee of his
obligations under this Section 3.03(b). The failure to execute a Membership Agreement
will not prevent any person from being a Member or Owner under the terms of the
Certificate, Bylaws or Master Restrictions, or excuse any Member from the payment of
Assessments. If a Membership Agreement is required by the Board, an Owner who has
not executed and delivered a Membership Agreement will automatically forfeit his right
to vote as a Member and additionally forfeit his right to the use and enjoyment of the
Common Area and applicable Special Common Area. Such Owner will not be entitled

12
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 34
to restoration of his voting privileges and rights in the Common Area or applicable
Special Common Area until execution and delivery of a Membership Agreement by
such Owner. However, the Board may, at the Board's sole discretion, provide that a
Member will be entitled to the full privileges of membership in the Association,
notwithstanding the failure to execute a Membership Agreement. In the event Members
are entitled to a key, membership card or other token evidencing or facilitating the right
to use any Improvements erected or placed on the Common Area or Special Common
Area, the Board may require any Member who has not executed a Membership
Agreement to return the same to the Board immediately.

Within thirty (30) days after acquiring legal title to a Lot or Condominium Unit, each
Owner must provide the Association with: (1) a copy of the recorded deed by which the
Owner has acquired title to the Lot or Condominium Unit; (2) the Owner's address, phone
number, and driver's license number, if any; (3) any Mortgagee's name and address; and (4)
the name and phone number of any resident other than the Owner.

You may be required to execute a Membership Agreement before using any of the
Association's property or voting on any Association matter. Your obligation to pay
assessments to the Association and comply with this Master Declaration, any applicable
Development Area Declarant, the Design Guidelines, or the rules and regulations will not be
affected by your failure to execute a Membership Agreement. Also, you must provide certain
information to the Association upon acquiring a Lot or Condominium Unit

(c) Every Member will have a right and easement of enjoyment in and to all
of the Common Area and an access easement by and through any Common Area, which
easements will be appurtenant to and will pass with the title to such Member's Lot or
Condominium Unit, subject to Section 3.03(b) above and subject to the following
restrictions and reservations:

(i) The right of the Association to suspend the Member's voting
rights and right to use the Common Area for any period during
which any Assessment against such Member's Lot or
Condominium Unit remains past due and for any period during
which such member is in violation of any provision of this Master
Declaration;

(ii) The right of the Association to dedicate or transfer aH or any part
of the Common Area to any public agency, authority or utility for
any purpose;

(iii) The right of the Association to borrow money for the purpose of

AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 35
(iv) The right of the Association to make reasonable rules and
regulations regarding the use of the Common Area and any
Improvements thereon; and

(v) The right of the Association to contract for services with any third
parties on such terms as the Association may determine.

(d) Each Owner of a Lot or Condominium Unit which has been designated as
a beneficiary of Special Common Area in a notice of applicability, Development Area
Declaration, or other recorded instrument, will have a right and easement of enjoyment
in and to all of such Special Common Area, and an access easement by and through such
Special Common Area, which easement will be appurtenant to and will pass with title to
such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit, subject to Section 3.03(b) above and subject to
the following restrictions and reservations:

(i) The right of Declarant to restrict the use of the Special Common
Area to the beneficiaries designated in a notice of applicability
filed pursuant to Section 10.05 or a Development Area Declaration;

(ii) The right of the Association to suspend the Members voting rights
and right to use the Special Common Area for any period during
which any Assessment against such Member's Lot or
Condominium Unit remains past due and for any period during
which such Member is in violation of any provision of this Master
Declaration;

(iii) The right of the Association to dedicate or transfer all or any part
of the Special Common Area to any public agency, authority or
utility for any purpose;

(iv) The right of the Association to borrow money for the purpose of

3.04 Voting Rights. Due to the number of Lots and Condominium Units that may be
developed in the Development, this Master Declaration provides for a representative system of
voting. The Owners of Lots and Condominium Units in each Neighborhood elect a
"Neighborhood Delegate" and an alternative Neighborhood Delegate, in the manner provided

14
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 36
below, to cast the votes of all Lots and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood on matters
requiring a vote of the membership, except where this Master Declaration specifically requires a
vote of the Owners. However, until such time as the Board first calls for election of a
Neighborhood Delegate for a particular Neighborhood, each Owner of a Lot or Condominium
Unit in such Neighborhood shall be considered a "Neighborhood Delegate" and may
personally cast the vote allocated to such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit on any issue
requiring a vote of the Neighborhood Delegates under this Master Declaration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the contrary in this Master Declaration, as
provided in Section 3.0S(c) below, until expiration or termination of the Development and
Sale Period, Declarant will be entitled to appoint and remove all members of the Board.

Candidates for election as the Neighborhood Delegate and alternate Neighborhood
Delegate from a Neighborhood shall be Owners of Lots or Condominium Units in the
Neighborhood, spouses of such Owners, or residents of the Neighborhood. The Neighborhood
Delegate and the alternate Neighborhood Delegate shall be elected on a biennial basis (once
every two years), either by written ballot or at a meeting of the Owners within each
Neighborhood, as the Board determines; provided, upon written petition signed by Owners
holding at least ten percent (10%) of the votes within any Neighborhood, the election for such
Neighborhood shall be held at a meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of Owners
representing at least forty percent (40%) of the total votes in a Neighborhood shall constitute a
quorum at any Neighborhood meeting.

The Board shall call for the first election of a Neighborhood Delegate from a
Neighborhood not later than four (4) years after the first conveyance of a Lot or Condominium
Unit in the Neighborhood to a Person other than Declarant. Subsequent elections shall, if
necessary, be held within thirty (30) days of the same date each year. The candidate for each
position who receives the greatest number of votes shall be elected to serve until his or her
successor is elected.

Any Neighborhood Delegate may be removed, with or without cause, upon the vote or
written petition of Owners holding a majority of the votes allocated to the Lots and
Condominium Units in the Neighborhood that the Neighborhood Delegate represents.

The Neighborhood Delegate or, in his or her absence, the alternate Neighborhood
Delegate attends Association meetings and casts all votes allocated to Lots and Condominium
Units in the Neighborhood that he or she represents on any matter as to which such
Neighborhood Delegate is entitled to vote under this Master Declaration. A Neighborhood
Delegate may cast all votes allocated to Lots and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood in
such delegate's discretion and may, but need not, poll the Owners of Lots and Condominium
Units in the Neighborhood which he or she represents prior to voting.

Neighborhood Delegates are subordinate to the Board and their responsibility and
authority does not extend to policymaking, supervising, or otherwise being involved in
Association governance beyond voting on matters put to a vote of the membership.

AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 37
In any situation in which an Owner is entitled personally to exercise the vote allocated to
such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit, if there is more than one Owner of a Unit, the vote for
such Unit shall be exercised as the co-Owners holding a majority of the ownership interest in
the Lot or Condominium Unit determine among themselves and advise the Secretary of the
association in writing prior to the close of balloting. Any co-Owner may cast the vote for the
Lot or Condominium Unit, and majority agreement shall be conclusively presumed unless
another co-Owner of the Lot or Condominium Unit protests promptly to the President or other
person presiding over the meeting on the balloting, in the case of a vote taken outside of a
meeting. In the absence of a majority agreement, the Lot or Condominium Unit's vote shall be
suspended if two or more co-Owners seek to exercise it independently.

3.05 Vote Allocation.

(a) The Owner of each Lot will be allocated one (1) vote for each Lot so
owned. In the event of the re-subdivision of any Lot into two or more Lots: (i) the
number of votes to which such Lot is entitled will be increased as necessary to retain the
ratio of one (1) vote for each Lot resulting from such re-subdivision, e.g., each Lot
resulting from the re-subdivision will be entitled to one (1) vote; and (ii) each Lot
resulting from the re-subdivision will be allocated one (1) Assessment Unit. In the event
of the consolidation of two (2) or more Lots for purposes of construction of a single
residence thereon, voting rights and Assessments will continue to be determined
according to the number of original Lots contained in such consolidated Lot. Nothing in
this Master Declaration will be construed as authorization for any re-subdivision or
consolidation of Lots, such actions being subject to the conditions and restrictions of the
applicable Development Area Declaration.

(b) Each Owner of a Condominium Unit will be allocated the number of
votes for such Condominium Unit so owned as determined by Declarant at the time that
a Development Area Declaration is first recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis
County, Texas for the Development Area within which such Condominium Unit is
located. Declarant will determine such votes in its sole discretion, taking into account,
among other things, the relationship of Condominium Units to the entire Development.
Declarant' s determination regarding the number of votes to which such Owners will be
entitled will be final, binding and conclusive. Such determination of Declarant may also
be set forth in the notice filed by Declarant pursuant to Section 10.05 below for the
Development Area within which such Condominium Unit(s) are located. Prior to the
time any Condominium Units in a Development Area are conveyed by Declarant to any
person not affiliated with Declarant, Declarant may amend or modify its allocation of
votes by filing an amended notice in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas,
setting forth the amended allocation. In addition, Declarant, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may modify or amend (which amendment or modification may be effected
after Declarant's conveyance of any Condominium Units to any person not affiliated
with Declarant) the number of votes previously assigned to a Condominium Unit if the
Improvements actually constructed on the Condominium Unit differ substantially from
16
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATJON OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 38
the Improvements contemplated to be constructed thereon at the time a notice allocating
votes thereto was originally filed. In the event of a modification to the votes allocated to
a Condominium Unit, Declarant will file of record an amended vote determination
setting forth the revised allocation of votes attributable to such Condominium Unit.

(c) In addition to the votes to which Declarant is entitled by reason of Section
3.05(a) and Section 3.05(b), for every one (1) vote outstanding in favor of any other person
or entity, Declarant will have four (4) additional votes until the expiration or termination
of the Development and Sale Period. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Master Declaration, until the expiration or termination of the Development and Sale
Period, Declarant will be entitled to appoint and remove all members of the Board.
Declarant may terminate its right as to the appointment and removal of one or all the
Board members by the recordation of a termination notice executed by Declarant and
recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas. In the event Declarant
terminates its right to appointment and remove less than all of the Board members, the
Board positions to which the termination applies will be elected by the Neighborhood
Delegates. Each Board member elected by the Neighborhood Delegates in accordance
with the foregoing sentence will be elected for a term of one (1) year.

(d) At such time as Declarant no longer has the right to appoint and remove
all members of the Board as provided in Section 3.05(c), the Board will be increased to
five (5) members. The President of the Association will thereupon call a meeting of the
Members of the Association where the Members, as represented by their Neighborhood
Delegates or alternate Neighborhood Delegates, will elect one (1) Director for a three (3)
year term, two (2) Directors for a two (2) year term, and two (2) Directors for a one (1)
year term. Upon expiration of the term of a Director elected by the Members as
provided herein, his or her successor will be elected (by the Members, as represented by
their Neighborhood Delegates or alternate Neighborhood Delegates) for a term of two
(2) years. A Director takes office upon the adjournment of the meeting or balloting at
which he is elected or appointed and, absent death, ineligibility, resignation, or removal,
will hold office until his successor is elected or appointed.

(e) When more than one person or entity owns a portion of the fee simple
interest in any Lot or Condominium Unit, all such persons or entities will be Members.
The vote or votes (or fraction thereof) for such Lot or Condominium Unit will be
exercised by the person so designated in writing to the Secretary of the Association by
the Owner of such Lot or Condominium Unit (or in the Membership Agreement relating
to such Lot if required by the Board), and in no event will the vote for such Lot or
Condominium Unit exceed the total votes to which such Lot or Condominium is
otherwise entitled under this Section 3.05.

(f) The right of any Owner to vote may be suspended by the Association,
acting through the Board, for any period during which any Assessment against such
Owner's Lot(s) or Condominium Unit(s) remain past due, for any period during which

17

AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARA TJON OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 39
such Owner or such Owners' Lot(s) or Condominium Unit(s) are in violation of this
Master Declaration, and, as provided in Section 3.03(b) above, for any period during
which such Owner has failed to execute and deliver a Membership Agreement. In
addition, Declarant may suspend the right of any Owner to vote during the period such
Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit is exempt from Assessments in accordance with
Section 5.07(f) .

. 3.06 Powers. The Association will have the powers of a Texas nonprofit corporation.
It will further have the power to do and perform any and all acts that may be necessary or
proper, for or incidental to, the exercise of any of the express powers granted to it by the laws of

preservation thereof) or the Association.

otherwise.

(n) Authority with Respect to Development Area Declaration. To do any act,
thing or deed that is necessary or desirable, in the judgment of the Board, to implement,
administer or enforce any Development Area Declaration. Any decision by the
Association to delay or defer the exercise of the power and authority granted by this

Association to exercise such power and authority.

(o) Allocation of Votes. To determine votes when permitted pursuant to
Section 3.04 above.

acquire, hold, and dispose of any interest in tangible and intangible personal property and real
property. Declarant and its assignees may transfer or convey to the Association interests in real
or personal property within or for the benefit of the Development, or the Development and the
general public, and the Association will accept such transfers and conveyances. Such property
may be improved or unimproved and may consist of fee simple title, easements, leases, licenses,
or other real or personal property interests. Such property will be accepted by the Association
and thereafter will be maintained as Common Area or Special Common Area, as applicable, by
the Association for the benefit of the Development and/or the general public subject to any
restrictions set forth in the deed or other instrument transferring or assigning such property to
the Association. Upon Declarant's written request, the Association will re-convey to Declarant
any unimproved real property that Declarant originally conveyed to the Association for no
payment to the extent conveyed in error or needed to make minor adjustments in property
lines.

3.08 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law but without
duplication (and subject to) any rights or benefits arising under the Certificate or Bylaws of the
Association, the Association will indemnify any person who was, or is, a party, or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is, or was, a director,
officer, committee member, employee, servant or agent of the Association against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if it is found and determined by the Board or a Court that he (1) acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Association, or (2) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by

21

AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 43
settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not of itself create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith or in a manner which was reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Association or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

3.09 Insurance. The Board may purchase and maintain, at the expense of the
Association, insurance on behalf of any person who is acting as a director, officer, committee
member, employee, servant or agent of the Association against any liability asserted against
him or incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the Association would have the power to indemnify him against such liability or otherwise.

3.10 Control by Declarant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Declarant, or
its successors or assigns, will have the absolute right to appoint members of the Board and their
successors (any appointment of a successor will be a deemed removal of the Board member
being replaced by such appointment) until the expiration or termination of the Development
and Sale Period. Declarant, at its option, may assign or delegate, in whole or in part, its rights
and powers to the Association, the Board or any other entity provided such designation is in
writing.

3.11 Bulk Rate Contracts. Without limitation on the generality of the Association
powers set out in Section 3.06 hereinabove, the Association will have the power to enter into
Bulk Rate Contracts at any time and from time to time. The Association may enter into Bulk
Rate Contracts with any service providers chosen by the Board (including Declarant, and/or any
entities in which Declarant, or the owners or partners of Declarant are owners or participants,
directly or indirectly). The Bulk Rate Contracts may be entered into on such terms and
provisions as the Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Association
may, at its option and election add the charges payable by such Owner under such Bulk Rate
Contract to the Assessments against such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit. In this regard, it
is agreed and understood that, if any Owner fails to pay any charges due by such Owner under
the terms of any Bulk Rate Contract, then the Association will be entitled to collect such charges
by exercising the same rights and remedies it would be entitled to exercise under this Master
Declaration with respect to the failure by such Owner to pay Assessments, including without
limitation the right to foreclose the lien against such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit which
is reserved under the terms and provisions of this Master Declaration. In addition, in the event
of nonpayment by any Owner of any charges due under any Bulk Rate Contract and after the
lapse of at least twelve (12) days since such charges were due, the Association may, upon five
(5) days' prior written notice to such Owner (which may run concurrently with such 12 day
period), in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law, equity or otherwise,
terminate, in such manner as the Board deems appropriate, any utility service or other service
provided at the cost of the Association and not paid for by such Owner (or the occupant of such
Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit) directly to the applicable service or utility provider. Such
notice will consist of a separate mailing or hand delivery at least five (5) days prior to a stated
date of termination, with the title "termination notice" or similar language prominently
displayed on the notice. The notice will include the office or street address where the Owner (or
22
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST A TED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 44
the occupant of such Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit) can make arrangements for payment
of the bill and for re-connection or re-institution of service. No utility or cable television service
will be disconnected on a day, or immediately preceding a day, when personnel are not
available for the purpose of collection and reconnecting such services.

3.12 Community Systems. The Association is specifically authorized to provide, or
to enter into contracts with other Persons to provide, central telecommunication receiving and
distribution systems (e.g. cable television, high speed data/Intemet/intranet services, and
security monitoring) and related components, including associated infrastructure, equipment,
hardware, and software, to serve the Development ("Community Systems"). Any such
contracts may provide for installation, operation, management, maintenance, and upgrades or
modifications to the Community Systems as the Board determines appropriate. Each Owner
acknowledges that interruptions in cable television and other Community Systems and services
will occur from time to time. The Declarant and the Association, or any of their respective
successors or assigns shall not be liable for, and no Community System or service user shall be
entitled to refund, rebate, discount, or offset in applicable fees for, any interruption in
Community Systems and services, regardless of whether or not such interruption is caused by
reasons within the service provider's control.

ARTICLE IV
INSURANCE

4.01 Insurance. Each Owner will be required to purchase and maintain commercially
standard insurance on the Improvements located upon such Owner's Lot or Condominium
Unit. The Association will not be required to maintain insurance on the Improvements
constructed upon any Lot or Condominium Unit. The Association may, however, obtain such
insurance as it may deem necessary, including but not limited to such policies of liability and
property damage insurance as the Board, in its discretion, may deem necessary. Insurance
premiums for such policies will be a common expense to be included in the assessments levied
by the Association. The acquisition of insurance by the Association will be without prejudice to
the right and obligation of any Owner to obtain additional individual insurance.

ARE YOU COVERED?
The Association will not provide insurance which covers an Owner's Lot, a
Condominium Unit, or any Improvements or personal property located on a Lot or
contained within a Condominium Unit.

4.02 Restoration. In the event of any fire or other casualty, the Owner will promptly
repair, restore and replace any damaged or destroyed structures to their same exterior condition
existing prior to the damage or destruction thereof. Such repair, restoration or replacement will
be commenced and completed in a good and workmanlike manner using exterior materials
identical to those originally used in the structures damaged or destroyed. To the extent that the
Owner fails to commence such repair, restoration or replacement of substantial or total damage
or destruction within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such damage

23
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST A TED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 45
or destruction, and thereafter prosecute same to completion, or if the Owner does not clean up
any debris resulting from any damage within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such
damage, the Association may commence, complete or effect such repair, restoration,
replacement or clean-up, and such Owner will be personally liable to the Association for the
cost of such work; provided, however, that if the Owner is prohibited or delayed by law,
regulation or administrative or public body or tribunal from commencing such repair,
restoration, replacement or clean-up, the rights of the Association under this provision will not
arise until the expiration of thirty (30) days after such prohibition or delay is removed. If the
Owner fails to pay such cost upon demand by the Association, the cost thereof (plus interest
from the date of demand until paid at the maximum lawful rate, or if there is no such maximum
lawful rate, than at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month) will be added to the
Assessment chargeable to the Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit. Any such amounts added to
the Assessments chargeable against a Lot or Condominium Unit will be secured by the liens
reserved in this Master Declaration for Assessments and may be collected by any means
provided in this Master Declaration for the collection of Assessments, including, but not limited
to, foreclosure of such liens against the Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit. EACH SUCH
OWNER WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM ANY COST, LOSS,
DAMAGE, EXPENSE, LIABILITY, CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION INCURRED OR THAT
MAY ARISE BY REASON OF THE ASSOCIATION'S ACTS OR ACTIVITIES UNDER THIS
SECTION 4.02, EXCEPT FOR SUCH COST, LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, LIABILITY,
CLAIM OR COST OF ACTION ARISING BY REASON OF THE ASSOCIATION'S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. "GROSS NEGLIGENCE" AS USED HEREIN
DOES NOT INCLUDE SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE, CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OR
SIMILAR NEGLIGENCE SHORT OF ACTUAL GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

4.03 Mechanic's and Materialmen's Lien. Each Owner whose structure is repaired,
restored, replaced or cleaned up by the Association pursuant to the rights granted under this
Article 4, hereby grants to the Association an express mechanic's and materialmen' s lien for the
reasonable cost of such repair, restoration, or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
Improvement to the extent that the cost of such repair, restoration or replacement exceeds any
insurance proceeds allocable to such repair, restoration or replacement and delivered to the
Association. Upon request by the Board, and before the commencement of any reconstruction,
repair, restoration or replacement, such Owner will execute all documents sufficient to
effectuate such mechanic's and materialmen' s lien in favor of the Association.

ARTICLEV
COVENANT FOR ASSESSMENTS

5.01 Assessments.

(a) Assessments established by the Board pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 5 will be levied against each Lot and Condominium Unit in amounts determined

24
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 46
pursuant to Section 5.07 below. The total amount of Assessments will be determined by
the Board pursuant to Section 5.03, 5.04, 5.05 and/or 5.06.

(b) Each Assessment, together with such interest thereon and costs of
collection as hereinafter provided, will be the personal obligation of the Owner of the
Lot or Condominium Unit against which the Assessment is levied and will be secured
by a lien hereby granted and conveyed by Declarant to the Association against each such
Lot and all Improvements thereon and each such Condominium Unit (such lien, with
respect to any Lot or Condominium Unit not in existence on the date hereof, will be
deemed granted and conveyed at the time that such Lot or Condominium Unit is
created). The Association may enforce payment of such Assessments in accordance with
the provisions of this Article.

(c) Declarant may, but is not obligated to, reduce Assessments which would
otherwise be levied against Lots and Condominium Units for any fiscal year by the
payment of a subsidy to the Association. Any subsidy paid to the Association by
Declarant may be treated as a contribution or a loan, in Declarant' s sole and absolute
discretion. Any subsidy and the characterization thereof will be disclosed as a line item
in the annual budget prepared by the Board and attributable to such Assessments. The
payment of a subsidy in any given year will not obligate Declarant to continue payment
of a subsidy to the Association in future years.

5.02 Association Accounts. The Board will establish one or more bank accounts of
the Association into which will be deposited all monies paid to the Association and from which
disbursements will be made in performing the functions of the Association under this Master
Declaration. The funds of the Association must be used solely for purposes authorized by this
Master Declaration, as it may from time to time be amended.

5.03 Regular Annual Assessments. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the
Board will estimate the expenses to be incurred by the Association during such year in
performing its functions and exercising its powers under this Master Declaration, including, but
not limited to, the cost of all management, repair and maintenance, the cost of providing street
and other lighting, the cost of administering and enforcing the covenants and restrictions
contained herein, and will estimate the amount needed to maintain a reasonable provision for
contingencies and an appropriate replacement reserve, and will give due consideration to any
expected income and any surplus from the prior year's fund. The budget prepared by the
Association for the purpose of determining Regular Annual Assessments will exclude the
maintenance, repair and management costs and expenses associated with any Service Area and
Special Common Area. Assessments sufficient to pay such estimated net expenses will then be
levied at the level of Assessments set by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, and the
Board's determination will be final and binding so long as it is made in good faith. If the sums
collected prove inadequate for any reason, including nonpayment of any individual
Assessment, the Association may at any time, and from time to time, levy further Assessments
in the same manner. All such regular Assessments will be due and payable to the Association

25
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 47
at the beginning of the fiscal year or during the fiscal year in equal monthly installments on or
before the first day of each month, or in such other manner as the Board may designate in its
sole and absolute discretion.

5.04 Special Common Area Assessments. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year,
the Board will prepare a separate budget covering the estimated expenses to be incurred by the
Association to maintain, repair, or manage any Special Common Area. The budget will be an
estimate of the amount needed to maintain, repair and manage such Special Common Area
including a reasonable provision for contingencies and an appropriate replacement reserve, and
will give due consideration to any expected income and surplus from the prior year's fund. The
level of Special Common Area Assessments will be set by the Board in its sole and absolute
discretion, and the Board's determination will be final and binding so long as it is made in good
faith. If the sums collected prove inadequate for any reason, including non-payment of any
individual Special Common Area Assessment, the Association may at any time, and from time
to time, levy further Special Common Area Assessments in the same manner as aforesaid. All
• such Special Common Area Assessments will be due and payable to the Association at the
beginning of the fiscal year or during the fiscal year in equal monthly installments on or before
the first day of each month, or in such other manner as the Board may designate in its sole and
absolute discretion.

5.05 Service Area Assessments. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board
will prepare a separate budget for each Service Area reflecting the estimated Service Area
Expenses to be incurred by the Association in the coming year. The total amount of estimated
Service Area Expenses for each Service Area will be allocated equally among all Lots and/or
Condominium Units in the benefited Service Area and will be levied as a Service Area
Assessment. All amounts that the Association collects as Service Area Assessments will be held
in trust for and expended solely for the benefit of the Service Area for which they were collected
and will be accounted for separately from the Association's general funds.

5.06 Special Assessments. In addition to the regular annual Assessments provided
for above, the Board may levy special Assessments whenever in the Board's opinion such
special Assessments are necessary to enable the Board to carry out the functions of the
Association under this Master Declaration. The amount of any special Assessments will be at
the reasonable discretion of the Board. In addition to the special Assessments.authorized above,
the Association may, in any fiscal year, levy a special Assessment applicable to that fiscal year
only for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any construction,
reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Area or
Special Common Area. Any special Assessment levied by the Association for the purpose of
defraying, in whole or in part, costs of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement
of capital improvement upon the Common Area will be levied against all Owners based on
Assessment Units. Any special Assessments levied by the Association for the purpose of
defraying in whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement
of a capital improvement upon any Special Common Area will be levied against all Owners

26
260575-2 l l/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 48
who have been designated as a beneficiary of such Special Common Area and will be allocated
among such Owners based on Assessment Units.

5.07 Amount of Assessment.
II
(a) The Board will levy Assessments against each Assessment Unit" (as
defined in Section 5.07(b) below). Unless otherwise provided in this Master Declaration,
Assessments levied pursuant to Section 5.03 and Section 5.06 will be levied uniformly
against each Lot and Condominium Unit based on the Assessment Units allocated
thereto. For example, if the total regular Assessments to be levied by the Board during
any fiscal year is equal to $10,000, and the regular Assessment is to be allocated among
one hundred (100) Lots each being allocated one (1) Assessment Unit and one hundred
(100) Condominium Units each being allocated 0.7 Assessment Units, the regular
Assessment for each Assessment Unit would be equal to $58.82 ($10,000 + 170
Assessment Units). Special Common Area Assessments levied pursuant to Section 5.04
will be levied uniformly against each Lot and Condominium Unit which has been
designated as a beneficiary of the Special Common Area to which such Special Common
Area Assessment relates based on the Assessment Units allocated to such Lots and
Condominium Units. Service Area Assessments levied pursuant to Section 5.05 will be
levied uniformly against each Lot and Condominium Unit which has been included in
the Service Area to which such Service Area Assessment relates based on the
Assessment Units allocated to such Lots and Condominium Units.
II
(b) Each Lot will constitute one Assessment Unit" unless otherwise
provided in Section 5.07(c). Each Condominium Unit will constitute that number of
11
Assessment Units" as determined by Declarant at the time that the Development Area
Declaration is first recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas for
the Development Area within which such Condominium Unit is located. Declarant will
determine such Assessment Units in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account,
among other things, the relationship of such Condominium Units to the entire
Development. Declarant's determination regarding the number of Assessment Units
applicable to each Condominium Unit will be final, binding and conclusive. Such
determination of Declarant (or the Board, as the case may be) may also be set forth in the
notice filed by Declarant pursuant to Section 10.05 for the Development Area within
which such Condominium Unit(s) are located. Declarant, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may modify or amend the number of Assessment Units previously assigned
to a Condominium Unit if the Improvements actually constructed on the Condominium
Unit differ substantially from the Improvements contemplated to be constructed thereon
at the time the notice allocating Assessment Units thereto was originally filed. In the
event of a modification to the Assessment Units allocated to a Condominium Unit,
Declarant will file of record an amended notice setting forth the revised Assessment
Units attributable to the Condominium Unit.

27
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 49
(c) Declarant, in Declarant's sole and absolute discretion, may elect to
allocate more than one "Assessment Unit" to a Lot. An allocation of more than one
Assessment Unit to a Lot must be made in a notice filed by Declarant pursuant to Section
10.05 or in a Development Area Declaration for the Development in which the Lot is
located. Declarant's determination regarding the number of Assessment Units
applicable to a Lot pursuant to this Section 5.07(c) will be final, binding and conclusive.

(d) Prior to the time any Lots or Condominium Units in such Development
Area are conveyed to any person not affiliated with Declarant, Declarant may modify its
determination regarding the allocation of Assessment Units by filing a notice in the
Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, setting forth the amended allocation.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Master Declaration to the contrary, no
Assessments will be levied upon Lots or Condominium Units owned by Declarant.

(f) Declarant may, in its sole discretion, elect to: (i) exempt any platted, un-
platted, improved, or unimproved portion of the Development, Lot or Condominium
Unit from Assessments; or (ii) delay the levy of Assessments against any platted, un-
platted, unimproved or improved portion of the Development, Lot or Condominium
Unit.

5.08 Late Charges. If any Assessment is not paid by the due date applicable thereto,
the Owner responsible for the payment may be required by the Board, at the Board's election at
any time and from time to time, to pay a late charge in such amount as the Board may
designate, and the late charge (and any reasonable handling costs) will be a charge upon the Lot
or Condominium Unit owned by such Owner, collectible in the manner as provided for
collection of Assessments, including foreclosure of the lien against such Lot or Condominium
Unit; provided, however, such charge will never exceed the maximum charge permitted under
applicable law.

5.09 Owner's Personal Obligation for Payment of Assessments. Assessments levied
as provided for herein will be the personal and individual debt of the Owner of the Lot or
Condominium Unit against which are levied such Assessments. No Owner may exempt
himself from liability for such Assessments. In the event of default in the payment of any such
Assessment, the Owner of the Lot or Condominium Unit will be obligated to pay interest on the
amount of the Assessment at the highest rate allowed by applicable usury laws then in effect on
the amount of the Assessment from the due date therefor (or if there is no such highest rate,
then at the rate of 1 and 1/2% per month), together with all costs and expenses of collection,
including reasonable attorneys fees.

5.10 Assessment Lien and Foreclosure. The payment of all sums assessed in the
manner provided in this Article 5 is, together with late charges as provided in Section 5.08 and
interest as provided in Section 5.09 hereof and all costs of collection, including attorney's fees as
herein provided, secured by the continuing Assessment lien granted to the Association

28
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 50
pursuant to Section 5.0l(b) above, and will bind each Lot or Condominium Unit in the hands of
the Owner thereof, and such Owner's heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors or
assigns. The aforesaid lien will be superior to all other liens and charges against such Lot or
Condominium Unit, except only for tax liens and all sums secured by a first mortgage lien or
first deed of trust lien of record, to the extent such lien secures sums borrowed for the
acquisition or improvement of the Lot or Condominium Unit in question, provided such
Mortgage was recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas before the
delinquent Assessment was due. The Association will have the power to subordinate the
aforesaid Assessment lien to any other lien. Such power will be entirely discretionary with the
Board, and such subordination may be signed by an officer of the Association. The Association
may, at its option and without prejudice to the priority or enforceability of the Assessment lien
granted hereunder, prepare a written notice of Assessment lien setting forth the amount of the
unpaid indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the Lot or Condominium Unit covered by such
lien and a description of the Lot or Condominium Unit. Such notice may be signed by one of
the officers of the Association and will be recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis
County, Texas. Each Owner, by accepting a deed or ownership interest to a Lot or
Condominium Unit subject to this Master Declaration will be deemed conclusively to have
granted a power of sale to the Association to secure and enforce the Assessment lien granted
hereunder. Such lien for payment of Assessments may be enforced by the non-judicial
foreclosure of the defaulting Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit by the Association in like
manner as a real property mortgage with power of sale under Tex. Pro. Code § 51.002. (For
such purpose, Robert D. Burton of Travis County, Texas, is hereby designated as trustee for the
benefit of the Association, with the Association retaining the power to remove any trustee with
or without cause and to appoint a successor trustee without the consent or joinder of any other
person.) The Assessment liens and rights to foreclosure thereof will be in addition to and not in
substitution of any other rights and remedies the Association may have by law and under this
Master Declaration, including the rights of the Association to institute suit against such Owner
personally obligated to pay the Assessment and/or for foreclosure of the aforesaid lien
judicially. In any foreclosure proceeding, whether judicial or non-judicial, such Owner will be
required to pay the costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred. The Association
will have the power to bid (in cash or by credit against the amount secured by the lien) on the
property at" foreclosure or other legal sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage, convey or
otherwise deal with the same. Upon the written request of any Mortgagee, the Association will
report to said Mortgagee any unpaid Assessments remaining unpaid for longer than thirty (30)
days after the same are due. The lien hereunder will not be affected by the sale or transfer of
any Lot or Condominium Unit; except, however, that in the event of foreclosure of any first-lien
Mortgage securing indebtedness incurred to acquire such Lot or Condominium Unit, the lien
for any Assessments that were due and payable before the foreclosure sale will be extinguished,
provided that past-due Assessments will be paid out of the proceeds of such foreclosure sale
only to the extent that funds are available after the satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by
the first lien Mortgage. The provisions of the preceding sentence will not, however, relieve any
subsequent Owner (including any Mortgagee or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale) from
paying Assessments becoming due and payable after the foreclosure sale. Upon payment of all

29
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 51
sums secured by a lien of the type described in this Section 5.10, the Association will upon the
request of the Owner execute a release of lien relating to any lien for which written notice has
been filed as provided above, except in circumstances in which the Association has already
foreclosed such lien. Such release will be signed by an officer of the Association.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS SECTION 5.10 TO THE CONTRARY,
THE ASSOCIATION WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO FORECLOSE ON A
CONDOMINIUM UNIT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS IF THE
ASSESSMENTS CONSIST SOLELY OF FINES. In addition to the lien hereby retained, in the
event of nonpayment by any Owner of any Assessment and after the lapse of at least twelve (12)
days since such payment was due, the Association may, upon five (5) days' prior written notice
(which may run concurrently with such 12 day period) to such Owner, in addition to all other
rights and remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, terminate, in such manner as the
Board deems appropriate, any service provided under a Bulk Rate Contract or any other service
provided by the Association, including but not limited to utility or cable services, provided
through the Association and not paid for directly by a Owner or occupant to the utility or
service provider. Such notice will consist of a separate mailing or hand delivery at least five (5)
days prior to a stated date of disconnection, with the title "termination notice" or similar
language prominently displayed on the notice. The notice will include the office or street
address where the Owner or the Owner's tenant can make arrangements for payment of the bill
and for reconnection of service. Any utility or cable service will not be disconnected or
terminated on a day, or immediately preceding a day, when personnel are not available for the
purpose of collection and reconnecting such services. Except as otherwise provided by
applicable law, the sale or transfer of a Lot or Condominium Unit will not relieve the Owner of
such Lot or Condominium Unit or such Owner's transferee from liability for any Assessments
thereafter becoming due or from the lien associated therewith. If an Owner conveys its Lot or
Condominium Unit and on the date of such conveyance Assessments against the Lot or
Condominium Unit remain unpaid, or said Owner owes other sums or fees under this Master
Declaration to the Association, the Owner will pay such amounts to the Association out of the
sales price of the Lot or Condominium Unit, and such sums will be paid in preference to any
other charges against the Lot or Condominium Unit other than a first lien Mortgage or
Assessment Liens and charges in favor of the State of Texas or a political subdivision thereof for
taxes on the Lot or Condominium Unit which are due and unpaid. The Owner conveying such
Lot or Condominium Unit will remain personally liable for all such sums until the same are
fully paid, regardless of whether the transferee of the Lot or Condominium Unit also assumes
the obligation to pay such amounts. The Board may adopt an administrative transfer fee to
cover the administrative expenses associated with updating the Association's records upon the
transfer of a Lot or Condominium Unit to a third party; provided, however, that no
administrative transfer fee will be due upon the transfer of a Lot or Condominium Unit from
Declarant to a third party.

Yes, the Association can foreclose on your Lot or Condominium Unit!
If you fail to pay assessments to the Association, you may lose title to your Lot or
Condominium Unit if the Association forecloses its assessment lien.

5.11 Exempt Property. The following area within the Development will be exempt
from the Assessments provided for in this Article:

(a) All area dedicated and accepted by public authority, by the recordation of
an appropriate document in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas;

(b) The Common Area and the Special Common Area; and

(c) Any portion of the Property or Development owned by Declarant.

(d) No portion of the Additional Property will be subject to the terms and
provisions of this Master Declaration, and no portion of the Additional Property (or any
owner thereof) will be obligated to pay assessments hereunder unless and until such
portion of the Additional Property has been made subject to the terms of this Master
Declaration by the filing of a notice of applicability in accordance with Section 10.05
below.

5.12 Fines and Damages Assessment. The Board may assess fines against an Owner
for violations of any restriction set forth in this Master Declaration, any Development Area
Declaration, the Design Guidelines, or any rules adopted by the Board which have been
committed by an Owner, an occupant of the Owner's Lot or Condominium Unit, or the Owner
or occupant's family, guests, employees, contractors, agents or invitees. Any fine and/or charge
for damage levied in accordance with this Section 5.12 will be considered an Assessment
pursuant to this Master Declaration. Each day of violation may be considered a separate
violation if the violation continues after written notice to the Owner. The Board may assess
damage charges against an Owner for pecuniary loss to the Association from property damage
or destruction of Common Area or Special Common Area or any facilities located by the Owner
or the Owner's family, guests, agents, occupants, or tenants. The Manager will have authority
to send notices to alleged violators, informing them of their violations and asking them to
comply with the rules and/or informing them of potential or probable fines or damage
assessments. The Board may from time to time adopt a schedule of fines.

The procedure for assessment of fines and damage charges will be as follows:

(a) the Association, acting through an officer, Board member or Manager,
must give the Owner notice of the fine or damage charge not later than thirty (30) days
after the assessment of the fine or damage charge by the Board;

(b) the notice of the fine or damage charge must describe the violation or
damage;

(c) the notice of the fine or damage charge must state the amount of the fine
or damage charge;

31
260575-2 l l/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST A TED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 53
(d) the notice of a fine or damage charge must state that the Owner will have
thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to request a hearing before the Board to
contest the fine or damage charge; and

(e) the notice of a fine must allow the Owner a reasonable time, by a
specified date, to cure the violation (if the violation is capable of being remedied) and
avoid the fine unless the Owner was given notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure a
similar violation within the preceding six (6) months.

Fine and/or damage charges are due immediately after the expiration of the thirty (30)
day period for requesting a hearing. If a hearing is requested, such fines or damage charges will
be due immediately after the Board's decision at such hearing, assuming that a fine or damage
charge of some amount is confirmed by the Board at such hearing.

The payment of each fine and/or damage charge levied by the Board against the Owner
of a Lot or Condominium Unit is, together with interest as provided in Section 5.09 hereof and
all costs of collection, including attorney's fees as herein provided, secured by the lien granted
to the Association pursuant to Section 5.0l(b) of this Master Declaration. Unless otherwise
provided in this Section 5.12, the fine and/or damage charge will be considered an Assessment
for the purpose of this Article, and will be enforced in accordance with the terms and provisions
governing the enforcement of assessments pursuant to this Article 5.

5.13 Reserve Assessment. Each Owner (other than Declarant) of a Lot or a
Condominium Unit will pay a one-time reserve assessment to the Association in such amount
as may be determined by the Board from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion. Such
reserve assessment need not be uniform among all Lots and/or Condominium Units, and the
Board is expressly authorized to levy reserve assessments of varying amounts depending on the
size, use and general character of the Lots and/or Condominium Units then being made subject
to such levy. The initial reserve assessment will be $100 payable to the Association at the time a
Lot or Condominium Unit is conveyed from Declarant to any Owner; provided, however, that
Declarant may, at any time, amend the amount required to be paid as a reserve assessment, or
the Lots and/or Condominium Units to which it applies, upon the recordation in the Official
Public Records of Travis County, Texas of a written notice, signed by a duly authorized officer
of the Association, setting forth the amount of the reserve assessment and the Lots and/or
Condominium Units to which it applies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the following transfers will not be subject to
the reserve assessment: (i) foreclosure of a deed of trust lien, tax lien, or the Association's
assessment lien; (ii) transfer to, from, or by the Association; (iii) voluntary transfer by an Owner
to one or more co-owners, or to the Owner's spouse, child, or parent. Additionally, an Owner
who (i) is a Homebuilder; or (ii) a Development Owner will not be subject to the reserve
assessment; however, the reserve assessment will be payable by any Owner who acquires a Lot
and/or a Condominium Unit from a Homebuilder or Development Owner for residential living
purposes or by any Owner who: (i) acquires a Lot and/or a Condominium Unit and is not in the

32
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 54
business of constructing single-family residences for resale to a third party; or (ii) who acquires
the Lot for any purpose other than constructing a single-family residence (including a
Condominium Unit) thereon for resale to a third party. In the event of any dispute regarding
the application of the reserve assessment to a particular Owner, Declarant's determination
regarding application of the exemption will be binding and conclusive without regard to any
contrary interpretation of this Section 5.13. The reserve assessment will be in addition to, not in
lieu of, any other assessments levied in accordance with this Article 5 and will not be
considered an advance payment of such assessments. The reserve assessment hereunder will be
due and payable to the Association immediately upon each transfer of title to the Lot or
Condominium Unit, including upon transfer of title from one Owner of such Lot or
Condominium Unit to any subsequent purchaser or transferee thereof. The Association will
have the power to waive the payment of any reserve assessment attributable to a Lot or
Condominium Unit by the recordation in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas of
a waiver notice executed by a majority of the Board members of the Association.

ARTICLE VI
WEST CYPRESS HILLS REVIEWER

6.01 Purpose. This Master Declaration creates rights to regulate the design, use, and
appearance of the Lots in order to preserve and enhance the Property's value and architectural
harmony. One purpose of this Article is to promote and ensure the level of taste, design,
quality, and harmony by which the Property is developed and maintained. Another
purpose is to prevent Improvements and modifications that may be widely considered to be
radical, curious, odd, bizarre, or peculiar in comparison to the then existing improvements.
A third purpose is to regulate the appearance of every aspect of proposed or existing
Improvements, including but not limited to dwellings, buildings, fences, landscaping,
retaining walls, yard art, sidewalks, and driveways, and further including replacements or
modifications of original construction or installation. During the Development and Sale
Period, a primary purpose of this Article is to reserve and preserve Declarant' s right of
architectural control.

6.02 Architectural Control By Declarant. During the Development and Sale Period,
neither the Association, the Board, nor a committee appointed by the Association or Board (no
matter how the committee is named) may involve itself with the approval of any
Improvements. Until expiration of the Development and Sale Period, the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer for Improvements is Declarant or its designee.

(a) Declarant's Rights Reserved. Each Owner, by accepting an interest in or
title to a Lot, whether _or not it is so expressed in the instrument of conveyance,
covenants and agrees that Declarant has a substantial interest in ensuring that the
improvements within the Property enhance Declarant' s reputation as a community
developer and do not impair Declarant' s ability to market its property. Accordingly,
each Owner agrees that during the Development and Sale Period no Improvements will
be started or progressed without the prior written approval of Declarant, which
33
260575-2 l l/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 55
approval may be granted or withheld at Declarant's sole discretion. In reviewing and
acting on an application for approval, Declarant may act solely in its self-interest and
owes no duty to any other person or any organization. Declarant may designate one or
more persons from time to time to act on its behalf in reviewing and responding to
applications.

(b) Delegation by Declarant. During the Development and Sale Period,
Declarant may from time to time, but is not obligated to, delegate all or a portion of its
reserved rights under this Article to an architectural control committee appointed by the
Board or a committee comprised of architects, engineers, or other persons who may or
may not be members of the Association. Any such delegation must be in writing and
must specify the scope of delegated responsibilities. Any such delegation is at all times
subject to the unilateral rights of Declarant to: (a) revoke such delegation at any time and
reassume jurisdiction over the matters previously delegated; and (b) to veto any decision
which Declarant in its sole discretion determines to be inappropriate or inadvisable for
any reason.

6.03 Architectural Control by Association. Unless and until such time as Declarant
delegates all or a portion of its reserved rights to the Board, or the Development and Sale Period
is terminated or expires, the Association has no jurisdiction over architectural matters. On
termination or expiration of the Development and Sale Period, or earlier if delegated in writing
by Declarant, the Association, acting through an architectural control committee (the "ACC")
will assume jurisdiction over architectural control and will have the powers of the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer hereunder.

(a) ACC. The ACC will consist of at least three (3) but not more than seven
(7) persons appointed by the Board, pursuant to the bylaws of the Association.
Members of the ACC serve at the pleasure of the Board and may be removed and
replaced at the Board's discretion. At the Board's option, the Board may act as the ACC,
in which case all references in the Documents to the ACC will be construed to mean the
Board. Members of the ACC need not be Owners or Residents, and may but need not
include architects, engineers, and design professionals whose compensation, if any, may
be established from time to time by the Board.

(b) Limits on Liability. The ACC has sole discretion with respect to taste,
design, and all standards specified by this Article. The members of the ACC have no
liability for the ACC' s decisions made in good faith, and which are not arbitrary or
capricious. The ACC is not responsible for: (i) errors in or omissions from the plans and
specifications submitted to the ACC; (ii) supervising construction for the Owner's
compliance with approved plans and specifications; or (iii) the compliance of the
Owner's plans and specifications with governmental codes and ordinances, state and
federal laws.

6.04 Prohibition of Construction, Alteration and Improvement. No Improvement,
or any addition, alteration, improvement, installation, modification, redecoration, or
reconstruction thereof may occur unless approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer has the right but not the duty to evaluate every
aspect of construction, landscaping, and property use that may adversely affect the general
value or appearance of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Owner will have the
right to modify, alter, repair, decorate, redecorate, or improve the interior of an Improvement,
provided that such action is not visible from any other portion of the Development or Property.

NO IMPROVEMENT MAY BE CONSTRUCTED, ALTERED, OR MODIFIED WITHOUT
THE ADVANCE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE WEST CYPRESS HILLS REVIEWER.

6.05 Architectural Approval.

(a) Submission and Approval of Plans and Specifications. Construction
plans and specifications or, when an Owner desires solely to re-subdivide or consolidate
Lots, a proposal for such re-subdivision or consolidation, will be submitted in
accordance with the Design Guidelines or any additional rules adopted by the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer together with any review fee which is imposed by the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer in accordance with Section 6.0S(b). Contact information for the
West Cypress Hills Reviewer will be set forth in the Design Guidelines. No
re-subdivision or consolidation will be made, nor any Improvement placed or allowed
on any Lot, until the plans and specifications and the builder which the Owner intends
to use to construct the proposed structure or Improvement have been approved in
writing by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may, in
reviewing such plans and specifications consider any information that it deems proper;
including, without limitation, any permits, environmental impact statements or
percolation tests that may be required by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer or any other "-
entity; and harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding
structures, topography, vegetation, and finished grade elevation. The West Cypress
Hills Reviewer may postpone its review of any plans and specifications submitted for
approval pending receipt of any information or material which the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer, in its sole discretion, may require. Site plans must be approved by the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer prior to the clearing of any Lot, or the construction of any
Improvements. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may refuse to approve plans and
specifications for proposed Improvements, or for the re-subdivision or consolidation of
any Lot on any grounds that, in the sole and absolute discretion of the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer, are deemed sufficient, including, but not limited to, purely aesthetic
grounds.

(b) Design Guidelines. Declarant will have the power to adopt the initial
Design Guidelines. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer will have the power, from time to
time, to adopt (unless previously adopted by Declarant), amend, modify, or supplement

35
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 57
the Design Guidelines. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of
the Design Guidelines and the terms and provisions of this Master Declaration, the
terms and provisions of this Master Declaration will control. In addition, the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer will have the power and authority to impose a fee for the review
of plans, specifications and other documents and information submitted to it pursuant
to the terms of this Master Declaration. Such charges will be held by the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer and used to defray the administrative expenses incurred by the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer in performing its duties hereunder; provided, however, that any
excess funds held by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer will be distributed to the
Association at the end of each calendar year. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer will not
be required to review any plans until a complete submittal package, as required by this
Master Declaration and the Design Guidelines, is assembled and submitted to the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer will have the authority to
adopt such additional procedural and substantive rules and guidelines (including,
without limitation, the imposition of any requirements for a compliance deposit,
certificates of compliance or completion relating to any Improvement, and the right to
approve in advance any contractor selected for the construction of Improvements), not
in conflict with this Master Declaration, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

(c) Failure to Act. In the event that any plans and specifications are
submitted to the West Cypress Hills Reviewer as provided herein, and the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer fails to either approve or reject such plans and specifications for a period
of sixty (60) days following such submission, the plans and specifications will be
deemed disapproved.

(d) Variances. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may grant variances from
compliance with any of the provisions of this Master Declaration or any Development
Area Declaration, including, but not limited to, restrictions upon impervious cover,
height, size, shape, floor areas, land area, placement of structures, set-backs, building
envelopes, colors, materials, or land use, when, in the opinion of the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer, in its sole and absolute discretion, such variance is justified. All variances
must be evidenced in writing and, if Declarant has assigned its rights to the ACC, must
be approved by at least a majority of the members of the ACC. Each variance must also
be recorded in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas; provided, however,
that failure to record a variance will not affect the validity thereof or give rise to any
claim or cause of action against the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, Declarant, the Board
or the ACC. If a variance is granted, no violation of the covenants, conditions, or
restrictions contained in this Master Declaration or any Development Area Declaration
will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the matter for which the variance was
granted. The granting of such variance will not operate to waive or amend any of the
terms and provisions of this Master Declaration, or any Development Area Declaration,
for any purpose except as to the particular property and in the particular instance
covered by the variance, and such variance will not be considered to establish a
36
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 58
precedent for any future waiver, modification, or amendment of the terms and
provisions of this Master Declaration or any Development Area Declaration.

(e) Duration of Approval. The approval of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer
of any final plans and specifications, and any variances granted by the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer will be valid for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days only. If
construction in accordance with such plans and specifications or variance is not
commenced within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period and diligently
prosecuted to completion thereafter, the Owner will be required to resubmit such final
plans and specifications or request for a variance to the West Cypress Hills Reviewer,
and the West Cypress Hills Reviewer will have the authority to re-evaluate such plans
and specifications in accordance with this Section 6.05(e) and may, in addition, consider
any change in circumstances which may have occurred since the time of the original
approval.

(f) No Waiver of Future Approvals. The approval of the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer to any plans or specifications for any work done or proposed in connection
with any matter requiring the approval or consent of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer
will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any right to withhold approval or consent
as to any plans and specifications on any other matter, subsequently or additionally
submitted for approval by the same or a different person, nor will such approval or
consent be deemed to establish a precedent for future approvals by the West Cypress
Hills Reviewer.

(g) Non-Liability of West Cypress Hills Reviewer. THE WEST CYPRESS
HILLS REVIEWER WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY OWNER OR TO ANY OTHER
PERSON FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE WEST CYPRESS HILLS REVIEWER'S DUTIES UNDER
THIS MASTER DECLARATION, UNLESS SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY IS
DUE TO THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH OF THE WEST CYPRESS
HILLS REVIEWER OR ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUALS ACTING ON ITS BEHALF,
AS THE CASE MAY BE.

acquire all or any part of the Common Area or Special Common Area for any public purpose
during the period this Master Declaration is in effect, the Board is hereby authorized to
negotiate with such public authority for such acquisition and to execute instruments necessary
for that purpose. Should acquisitions by eminent domain become necessary, only the Board

provision into compliance with any applicable governmental statute, rule, regulation, or judicial

proceeding at law or in equity, all restrictions, conditions, covenants, reservations, liens, charges
and other terms now or hereafter imposed by the provisions of this Master Declaration. Failure

not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce such right, provision, covenants or condition in
the future.

8.06 Higher Authority. The terms and provisions of this Master Declaration are
subordinate to federal and state law, and local ordinances. Generally, the terms and provisions
of this Master Declaration are enforceable to the extent they do not violate or conflict with local,

Guidelines should periodically review statutes and court rulings that may modify or

·may create rights or duties not contemplated therein.

8.07 Severability. If any provision of this Master Declaration is held to be invalid by
any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity will not affect the validity of any other
provision of this Master Declaration, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the validity

conveyance, or each subsequent purchaser, accepts the same subject to all terms, restrictions,
conditions, covenants, reservations, easements, liens and charges, and the jurisdiction rights
and powers created or reserved by this Master Declaration or to whom this Master Declaration
is subject, and all rights, benefits and privileges of every character hereby granted, created,
reserved or declared. Furthermore, each grantee agrees that no assignee or successor to
Declarant hereunder will have any liability for any act or omission of Declarant which occurred
prior to the effective date of any such succession or assignment. All impositions and obligations
hereby imposed will constitute covenants running with the land within the Development, and
will bind any person having at any time any interest or estate in the Development, and will

8.11 Damage and Destruction.

(a) Promptly after damage or destruction by fire or other casualty to all or
any part of the Common Area or Special Common Area covered by insurance, the
Board, or its duly authorized agent, will proceed with the filing and adjustment of all
claims arising under such insurance and obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the
cost of repair of the damage. Repair, as used in this Section 8.ll(a), means repairing or
restoring the Common Area or Special Common Area to substantially the same
condition as existed prior to the fire or other casualty.

(b) Any damage to or destruction of the Common Area or Special Common
Area will be repaired unless a majority of the Board decides within sixty (60) days after
the casualty not to repair. If for any reason either the amount of the insurance proceeds
to be paid as a result of such damage or destruction, or reliable and detailed estimates of
the cost of repair, or both, are not made available to the Association within said period,
then the period will be extended until such information will be made available.

(c) In the event that it should be determined by the Board that the damage or
destruction of the Common Area or Special Common Area will not be repaired and no
alternative Improvements are authorized, then the affected portion of the Common Area
or Special Common Area will be restored to its natural state and maintained as an
undeveloped portion of the Common Area by the Association in a neat and attractive
condition.

(d) If insurance proceeds are paid to restore or repair any damaged or
destroyed Common Area, and such proceeds are not sufficient to defray the cost of such
repair or restoration, the Board will levy a Special Assessment, as provided in Article 5,
against all Owners. Additional Assessments may be made in like manner at any time
during or following the completion of any repair.

(e) If insurance proceeds are paid to restore or repair any damaged or
destroyed Special Common Area, and such proceeds are not sufficient to defray the cost
of such repair or restoration, the Board will levy a special Assessment, as provided in
Article 5, against all Owners designated as a beneficiary of such Special Common Area.
Additional Assessments may be made in like manner at any time during or following
the completion of any repair.

(f) In the event that any proceeds of insurance policies are paid to Owners as
a result of any damage or destruction to any Common Area, such payments will be
allocated based on Assessment Units and paid jointly to the Owners and the holders of
first Mortgages or deeds of trust on their Lots or Condominium Units.

(g) In the event that any proceeds of insurance policies are paid to Owners as
a result of any damage or destruction to Special Common Area, such payments will be
allocated based on Assessment Units and will be paid jointly to the Owners who have
41
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
AMENDED AND REST A TED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 63
been designated as a beneficiary of such Special Common Area and the holders of first
Mortgages or deeds of trust on their Lots or Condominium Units.

(h) In the event that any proceeds of insurance policies are paid to Owners,
such payments will be allocated based on Assessment Units and will be paid jointly to
the Owners and the holders of first Mortgages or deeds of trust on their Lots or
Condominium Units.

8.12 No Partition. Except as may be permitted in this Master Declaration or
amendments thereto, no physical partition of the Common Area or Special Common Area or
any part will be permitted, nor will any person acquiring any interest in the Development or
any part seek any such judicial partition unless the Development in question has been removed
from the provisions of this Master Declaration pursua_nt to Section 10.04 below. This Section 8.12
will not be construed to prohibit the Board from acquiring and disposing of tangible personal
property or from acquiring title to real property that may or may not be subject to this Master
Declaration, nor will this provision be constructed to prohibit or affect the creation of a
condominium regime in accordance with the Texas Uniform Condominium Act.

8.13 View Impairment. Neither the Declarant nor the Association guarantee or
represent that any view over and across the Lots and/or Condominium Units, or any open space
within the Development will be preserved without impairment. The Declarant and the
Association shall have no obligation to relocate, prune, or thin trees or other landscaping. The
Association (with respect to any Common Area or Special Common Area) will have the right to
add trees and other landscaping from time to time, subject to applicable law. There shall be no
express or implied easements for view purposes or for the passage of light and air.

8.14 Safety and Security. Each Owner and occupant of a Unit, and their respective
guests and invitees, shall be responsible for their own personal safety and the security of their
property in the Community. The Master Association may, but shall not be obligated to,
maintain or support certain activities within the Community designed to promote or enhance
the level of safety or security which each person provides for himself or herself and his or her
property. However, neither the Master Association nor the Master Declarant shall in any way
be considered insurers or guarantors of safety or security within the Community, nor shall
either be held liable for any loss or damage by reason of failure to provide adequate security or
ineffectiveness of security measures undertaken.

No representation or warranty is made that any systems or measures, including security
monitoring systems or any mechanism or system for limiting access to the Community, cannot
be compromised or circumvented; or that any such system or security measures undertaken
will in all cases prevent loss or provide the detection or protection for which the system is
designed or intended. Each Owner acknowledges, understands, and shall be responsible for
informing any tenants and other occupants of such Owner's Unit that the Master Association,
its Board and committees, and the Master Declarant are not insurers or guarantors of security or
safety and that each Person within the Community assumes all risks of personal injury and loss

or damage to property, including Units and the contents of Units, resulting from acts of third
parties.

Master Declaration will be in writing and may be delivered either personally or by mail. If

Common Area to the extent necessary to use the Common Area or Special Common Area and

required or reasonably desirable (as determined by Declarant in its sole discretion) in
connection with the construction and development of the Development.

9.02 Reserved Easements. All dedications, limitations, restrictions and reservations
shown on any Plat and all grants and dedications of easements, rights-of-way, restrictions and
related rights made by Declarant prior to the Development becoming subject to this Master

all purposes as if fully set forth herein, and will be construed as being adopted in each and
every contract, deed or conveyance executed or to be executed by or on behalf of Declarant.
Declarant reserves the right to relocate, make changes in, and additions to said easements,
rights-of-way, dedications, limitations, reservations and grants for the purpose of most
efficiently and economically developing the Development.

9.03 Utility Easements. Declarant hereby reserves unto itself and Declarant's
successors and assigns a perpetual non-exclusive easement over and across the Development
for: (i) the installation, operation and maintenance of utilities and associated infrastructure to
serve the Development and any other property owned by Declarant; (ii) the installation,
operation and maintenance of cable lines and associated infrastructure for sending and
receiving data and/or other electronic signals, security and similar services to serve the
Development and any other property owned by Declarant; and (iii) the installation, operation
and maintenance of, walkways, pathways and trails, drainage systems, street lights and signage
to serve the Development and any other property owned by Declarant. Declarant will be

residence, nor will it unreasonably interfere with the use of any Lot or Condominium Unit or
residence or Improvement constructed thereon.

rights reserved by Declarant pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Master Declaration,

Mortgagee's, and third party's irrevocable attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to
do and perform, each and every act permitted or required to be performed by Declarant
pursuant to the terms of this Master Declaration. The power thereby vested in Declarant as
attorney-in-fact for each Owner, Mortgagee and/or third party, will be deemed, conclusively, to
be coupled with an interest and will survive the dissolution, termination, insolvency,
bankruptcy, incompetency and death of an Owner, Mortgagee and/or third party and will be
binding upon the legal representatives, administrators, executors, successors, heirs and assigns
of each such party.

ARTICLEX

members, all parties subject to this Master Declaration (collectively, the "Bound
Parties"), agree that it is in the best interest of all concerned to encourage the amicable
resolution of disputes involving the Development without the emotional and financial
costs of litigation. Accordingly, each Bound Party agrees not to file suit in any court
with respect to a Claim described in subsection (b ), unless and until it has first submitted
such Claim to the alternative dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11.02 in a
good faith effort to resolve such Claim.
47

AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 69
(b) As used in this Article, the term "Claim" will refer to any claim, grievance
or dispute arising out of or relating to:

(i) the interpretation, application, or enforcement of this Master
Declaration, any Development Area Declaration, the Design
Guidelines, the Certificate, Bylaws, and rules and regulations
adopted by the Board; or

(ii) the rights, obligations, and duties of any Bound Party under this
Master Declaration, any Development Area Declaration, the
Design Guidelines, the Certificate, Bylaws, and rules and
regulations adopted by the Board; or

(iii) the design or construction of improvements within the
Development, other than matters of aesthetic judgment under
Article 6, which will not be subject to review.

The following will not be considered "Claims" unless all parties to the matter otherwise
agree to submit the matter to the procedures set forth in Section 11.02:

(1) any suit by the Association to collect assessments or other
amounts due from any Owner; and

(2) any suit by the Association to obtain a temporary
restraining order (or emergency equitable relief) and such
ancillary relief as the court may deem necessary in order to
maintain the status quo and preserve the Association's
ability to enforce the provisions of this Master Declaration;
and

(3) any suit which does not include Declarant or the
Association as a party, if such suit asserts a Claim which
would constitute a cause of action independent of this
Master Declaration, any Development Area Declaration,
the Design Guidelines, the Certificate, Bylaws, and rules
and regulations adopted by the Board; and

(4) any suit in which any indispensable party is not a Bound
Party; and

(5) any suit as to which any applicable statute of limitations

party or parties against whom the Claim is made agree to
toll the statute of limitations as to such Claim for such

AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 70
period as may reasonably be necessary to comply with this
Article.

11.02 Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(a) Notice. The Bound Party asserting a Claim ("Claimant") against another
Bound Party ("Respondent") will give written notice to each Respondent and to the
Board stating plainly and concisely:

(i) the nature of the Claim, including the Persons involved and the
Respondent's role in the Claim; and

(ii) the legal basis of the Claim (i.e., the specific authority out of which
the Claim arises); and

(iii) the Claimant's proposed resolution or remedy; and

(iv) the Claimant's desire to meet with the Respondent to discuss in
good faith ways to resolve the Claim.

(b) Negotiation. The Claimant and Respondent will make every reasonable
effort to meet in person and confer for the purpose of resolving the Claim by good faith
negotiation. If requested in writing, accompanied by a copy of the Notice, the Board may
appoint a representative to assist the parties in negotiating a resolution of the Claim.

(c) Mediation. If the parties have not resolved the Claim through negotiation
within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice described in Section 11.02(a) (or within
such other period as the parties may agree upon), the Claimant will have thirty (30)
additional days to submit the Claim to mediation with an entity designated by the
Association (if the Association is not a party to the Claim) or to an independent agency
providing dispute resolution services in Travis County, Texas.

If the Claimant does not submit the Claim to mediation within such time, or does not
appear for the mediation when scheduled, the Claimant will be deemed to have waived the
Claim, and the Respondent will be relieved of any and all liability to the Claimant (but not third
parties) on account of such Claim.

If the Parties do not settle the Claim within thirty (30) days after submission of the
matter to mediation, or within such time as determined reasonable by the mediator, the
mediator will issue a notice of termination of the mediation proceedings indicating that the
parties are at an impasse and the date that mediation was terminated. The Claimant will
thereafter be entitled to file suit or to initiate administrative proceedings on the Claim, as
appropriate.

49
260575-2 11/09/2006 WEST CYPRESS I-IlLLS
AMENDED AND REST ATED MASTER DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 71
Each Party will bear its own costs of the mediation, including attorney's fees, and each
Party will share equally all fees charged by the mediator.

(d) Settlement. Any settlement of the Claim through negotiation or mediation
will be documented in writing and signed by the parties. If any party thereafter fails to
abide by the terms of such agreement, then any other party may file suit or initiate
administrative proceedings to enforce such agreement without the need to again comply
with the procedures set forth in this Section. In such event, the party taking action to
enforce the agreement or award will, upon prevailing, be entitled to recover from the
non-complying party (or if more than one noncomplying party, from all such parties in
equal proportions) all costs incurred in enforcing such agreement or award, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs.

11.03 Initiation of Litigation by Association. In addition to compliance with the
foregoing alternative dispute resolution procedures, if applicable, the Association will not
initiate any judicial or administrative proceeding unless first approved by a vote of the
Members entitled to cast seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes in the Association, excluding
the votes held by Declarant, except that no such approval will be required for actions or
proceedings:

(a) initiated while Declarant owns any portion of the Property or the
Development; or

(b) initiated to enforce the prov1s10ns of this Master Declaration, any
Development Area Declaration, the Design Guidelines, the Certificate, Bylaws, and rules
and regulations adopted by the Board, including collection of assessments and
foreclosure of liens; or

(c) initiated to challenge ad valorem taxation or condemnation proceedings; or

(d) initiated against any contractor, vendor, or supplier of goods or services
arising out of a contract for services or supplies; or

(e) to defend claims filed against the Association or to assert counterclaims in
proceedings instituted against it.

This Section will not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the same
percentage of votes necessary to institute proceedings except any such amendment will also be
approved by Declarant until the expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period.

EXECUTED to be effective on the date this instrument is recorded in the Official Public
Records of Travis County, Texas.

Restrictions — West Cypress Hills, recorded under Document No. 2006222235, Official Public Records
of Travis County, Texas.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DECLARATION
OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ~ WEST CYPRESS HILLS

This First Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions - West Cypress Tills (the “Amendment”) is made by CYPRESS RANCH, LTD., a Texas
limited parmership (“Declarant”), and is as follows:

RECITALS:

A. Declarant previously executed and recorded that certain Amended and Restated Master
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions — West Cypress Hills, recorded as Document No.
2006222235, in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas (the “Declaration”).

B. Pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Declaration, the Declaration may be amended by
Declarant acting alone.

NOW THEREFORE, Declarant hereby amends and modifies the Declaration as follows:

1, Voting Rights. Section 3.04 of the Declaration is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

3.04 Voting Rights. Due to the number of I.ots and Condominium Units that may be
developed in the Development, this Master Declaration provides for a representative
system of voting. The Owners of Lots and Condominium Units in each Neighbarhood
elect a “Neighborhood Delegate” and an alternative Neighborhood Delegate, in the
manner provided below, to cast the votes of ail Lots and Condominium Units in the
Neighborhood on matters requiring a vote of the membership, except where this Master
Declaration specifically requires a vote of the Owners. However, until such time as the
Board first calls for election of a Neighborhood Delegate for a particular Neighborhood,
each Owner of a Lot or Condominium Unit in such Neighborhood shall be considered a
“Neighborhood Delegate” and may personally cast the vote allocated to such Owner's
Lot or Condominium Unit on any issue requiring a vote of the Neighborhood Delegates
under this Master Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the
contrary in this Master Declaration, as provided in Section 3.05(c) below, until
expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period, Declarant will be
entitled to appoint and remove all members of the Board.

Candidates for election as the Neighborhood Delegate and alternate
Neighborhood Delegate from a Neighborhood shall be Owners of Lots or Condominium
Units in the Neighborhood, spouses of such Owners, or residents of the Neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Delegate and the alternate Neighborhood Delegate shall be elected on
a biennial basis (once every two years), either by written ballot or at a meeting of the
Owners within each Neighborhood, as the Board determines; provided, upon written
petition signed by Owners holding at least ten percent (10%) of the votes within any
Neighborhood, the election for such Neighborhood shall be held at a meeting. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of Owners representing at least forty percent (40%) of

WEST CYPRESS HILLS
FIRST AMENOMLNT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER
DECT ARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Page 75
Page 75
the total votes in a Neighborhood shall constitute a quorum at any Neighborhood
meeting.

The Board shall call for the first election of a Neighborhood Delegate from a
Neighborhood not later than seven (7) years after the first conveyance of a Lot or
Condominium Unit in the Neighborhood to a Person other than Declarant. Subsequent
elections shall, if necessary, be held within thirty (30) days of the same date each year.
The candidate for each position who receives the greatest number of votes shall be
elected to serve until his or her successor is elected.

Any Neighborhood Delegate may be removed, with or without cause, upon the
vote or written petition of Owners holding a majority of the votes allocated to the Lots
and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood that the Neighborhood Delegate
represents.

The Neighborhood Delegate or, in his or her absence, the alternate
Neighborhood Delegate attends Association meetings and casts all votes allocated to Lots
and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood that he or she represents on any matter as
to which such Neighborhood Delegate is entitled to vote under this Master Declaration.
A Neighborhood Delegate may cast all votes allocated to Lots and Condominium Units
in the Neighborhood in such delegate’s discretion and may, but need not, poll the
Owners of Lots and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood which he or she
represents prior to voting.

Neighborhood Delegates are subordinate to the Board and their responsibility
and authority does not extend to policymaking, supervisimg, or otherwise being involved
in Association governance beyond voting on matters put fo a vote of the membership.

In any situation in which an Owner is entitled personally to exercise the vote
allocated to such Owner’s Lot or Condominium Unit, if there is more than one Owner of
a Unit, the vote for such Unit shall be exercised as the co-Owners holding a majority of
the ownership interest in the Lot or Condominium Unit determine among themselves
and advise the Secretary of the association in writing prior to the close of balloting. Any
co-Owner may cast the vote for the Lot or Condominium Unit, and majority agreement
shalf be conclusively presumed unless another co-Owner of the Lot or Condominium
Unit protests promptly to the President or other person presiding over the meeting on
the balloting, in the case of a vote taken outside of a meeting. In the absence of a majority
agreement, the Lot or Condominium Unit's vote shall be suspended if two or more co-
Owners seek to exercise it independently.

2. Miscellaneous. Any capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Declaration. Unless expressly armended by this First Amendment, all other
terms and provisions of the Declaration remain in full force and effect as written, and are hereby ratified
and confirmed.

This Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions — West Cypress Hills {the “Amendment”} is made by CYPRESS RANCH, LTD., a Texas

amended by Declarant acting alone.

NOW THEREFORE, Declarant hereby amends and modifies the Master Declaration as follows:

1. Voting Rights. Section 3.04 of the Master Declaration is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

3.04 Voting Rights. Due to the number of Lots and Condominium Units that may be
developed in the Development, this Master Declaration permits the Declarant, during the
Development and Sale Period, and thereafter a Majority of the Board, to institute a
representative system of voting.

If the Declarant or a Majority of the Board elects to institute the representative
system of voting set forth in this Section 3.04, the Declarant or Board, will record a notice
in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas (the “Voting Notice”). If a Voting
Notice is filed in accordance with the previous sentence, then the provisions set fort in
Sections 3.04A through 3.04E will apply.

3.04A If a Voting Notice is filed, a representative system of voting will be
established for the Development. In such event, the Owners of Lots and Condominium
Units in each Neighborhood elect a “Neighborhood Delegate” and an alternative
Neighborhood Delegate, in the manner provided below, to cast the votes of all Lots and
Condominium Units in the Neighborhood on matters requiring a vote of the
membership, except where this Master Declaration specifically requires a vote of the
Owners. However, until such time as the Board calls for election of a Neighborhood
Delegate for a particular Neighborhood in accordance with Section 3.04B below, each
Owner of a Lot or Condominium Unit in such Neighborhood shall be considered a
“Neighborhood Delegate” and may personally cast the vote allocated to such Owner’s

= r this Master Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the

contrary in this Master Declaration, as provided in Section 3.05(c} below, until
expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period, Declarant will be
entitled to appoint and remove all members of the Board.

3.04B On or before sixty (60) days after the Voting Notice is filed, the Board will
cal] for the first election of a Neighborhood Delegate from a Neighborhood. Subsequent
elections shall, if necessary, be held within sixty (60) days of the same date each year.
The candidate for each position who receives the greatest number of votes shall be
elected to serve until his or her successor is elected.

3.04C Candidates for election as the Neighborhood Delegate and alternate
Neighborhood Delegate from a Neighborhood shall be Owners of Lots or Condominium
Units in the Neighborhood, spouses of such Owners, or residents of the Neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Delegate and the alternate Neighborhood Delegate shall be elected on
a biennial basis (once every two years}, either by written ballot or at a meeting of the
Owners within each Neighborhood, as the Board determines; provided, upon written
petition signed by Owners holding at least ten percent (10%) of the votes within any
Neighborhood, the election for such Neighborhood shall be held at a meeting. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of Owners representing at least forty percent (40%) of
the total votes in a Neighborhood shall constitute a quorum at any Neighborhood
meeting.

Any Neighborhood Delegate may be removed, with or without cause, upon the
vote or written petition of Owners holding a majority of the votes allocated to the Lots
and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood that the Neighborhood Delegate
represents.

The Neighborhood Delegate or, in his or her absence, the alternate
Neighborhood Delegate attends Association meetings and casts all votes allocated to Lots
and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood that he or she represents on any matter as
to which such Neighborhood Delegate is entitled to vote under this Master Declaration.
A Neighborhood Delegate may cast all votes allocated to Lots and Condominium Units
in the Neighborhood in such delegate’s discretion and may, but need not, poll the
Owners of Lots and Condominium Units in the Neighborhood which he or she
represents prior to voting.

3.04D Neighborhood Delegates are subordinate to the Board and their
responsibility and authority does not extend to policymaking, supervising, or otherwise
being involved in Association governance beyond voting on matters put to a vote of the
membership.

3.04E In any situation in which an Owner is entitled personally to exercise the
vote allocated to such Owner’s Lot or Condominium Unit, if there is more than one
Owner of a Unit, the vote for such Unit shall be exercised as the co-Owners holding a

4

the meeting on the balloting, in the case of a vote taken outside of a meeting. In the
absence of a majority agreement, the Lot or Condominium Unit’s vote shail be
suspended if two or more co-Owners seek to exercise it independently.

follows:

or Condominium Unit will pay a one-time working capital fee to the Association in

absolute discretion. Such working capital fee need not be uniform among all Lots and
Condominium Units, and the Board is expressly authorized to Jevy working capital fees
of varying amounts depending on the size, use and general character of the Lots and
Condominium Units then being made subject to such levy. The levy of any working

foregoing provision, the following transfers will not be subject to the working capital

Additionally, an Owner who: (i) is a Homebuilder; or {ii} acquires a Lot or
Condominium Unit for the purpose of resale to a Homebuilder (a "Development
Owner’) will not be subject to the working capital fee; however, the working capital fee
will be payable by any Owner who acquires a Lot or Condominium Unit from a
Homebuilder or Development Owner for residential living purposes or by any Owner
who: (a) acquires a Lot or Condominium Unit and is not in the business of constructing
single-family residences for resale to a third party; or (b) who acquires the Lot or
Condominium Unit for any purpose other than constructing a single-family residence
thereon for resale to a third party. Contributions to the working capital fund are not
advance payments of Regular Assessments and are not refundable, Until expiration or |
termination of the Development and Sale Period, the Declarant will have the power to
waive the payment of any working capital fee attributable to a Lot or Condominium
Unit by the recordation in the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas, of a
waiver notice executed by the Declarant.

3. Miscellaneous. Any capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Master Declaration. Unless expressly amended by this Amendment, all
other terms and provisions of the Master Declaration remain in full force and effect as written, and are |
hereby ratified and confirmed.

Improvements located upon such Owner's Lot, providing fire and extended coverage and all
other coverage in the kinds and amounts commonly required by private institutional mortgage

extended coverage and replacement costs endorsements, if reasonably available, and may also
contain vandalism and malicious mischief coverage, special form endorsement, a stipulated
amount clause and a determinable cash adjustment clause. The Association will not be required
to maintain insurance on the Improvements constructed upon any Lot. The Association may,
however, obtain such insurance as it may deem necessary, including but not limited to such
policies of liability and property damage insurance as the Board in its discretion may deem
necessary. Insurance premiums for such policies will be a common expense to be included in
the assessments levied by the Association, as the case may be. The acquisition of insurance by
the Association will be without prejudice to the right and obligation of any Owner to obtain
additional individual insurance.

repair, restore and replace any damaged or destroyed structures to their same exterior condition
existing prior to the damage or destruction thereof. Such repair, restoration or replacement will

identical to those originally used in the structures damaged or destroyed. To the extent that the
Owner fails to commence such repair, restoration or replacement of substantial or total damage

thereafter prosecute same to completion, or if the Owner does not clean up any debris resulting
from any damage within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage, the Association
may commence, complete or effect such repair, restoration, replacement or clean-up, and such
Owner will be personally liable to the Association for the cost of such work; provided, however,
that if the Owner is prohibited or delayed by law, regulation or administrative or public body
or tribunal from commencing such repair, restoration, replacement or clean-up, the rights of the
Association under this sentence will not arise until the expiration of thirty (30) days after such
prohibition or delay is removed. If the Owner fails to pay such cost upon demand by the
Association, the cost thereof (plus interest from the date of demand until paid at the maximum
lawful rate, or if there is no such maximum lawful rate, than at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1-1/2%) per month) will be assessed against and chargeable to the Owner's Lot(s). Any
such amounts assessed and chargeable against a Lot will be secured by the liens reserved in the
Master Declaration or this Declaration for Assessments and may be collected by any means
provided in the Master Declaration and/or Declaration for the collection of Assessments,
including, but not limited to, foreclosure of such liens against the Owner's Lot(s). EACH SUCH
OWNER WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM ANY COST, LOSS,

MAY ARISE BY REASON OF THE ASSOCIATION'S ACTS OR ACTIVITIES UNDER THIS
SECTION 4.02, EXCEPT FOR SUCH COST, LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, LIABILITY,
CLAIM OR COST OF ACTION ARISING BY REASON OF THE ASSOCIATION'S GROSS

Article 4, hereby grants to the Association an express mechanic's and materialmen's lien for the
reasonable cost of such repair, restoration, or replacement of the damaged or destroyed
Improvement to the extent that the cost of such repair, restoration or replacement exceeds any
insurance proceeds allocable to such repair, restoration or replacement and delivered to the
Association. Upon request by the Board and before the commencement of any reconstruction,
repair, restoration or replacement, such Owner will execute all documents sufficient to
effectuate such mechanic's and materialmen' s lien in favor of the Association.

Development Area, and requested that Propane Cypress Ranch, LLC, a Texas limited
liability company, its successors, licensees, or assigns (collectively, the “Gas Company”),
provide propane gas service through a centralized propane gas distribution system (the
“Gas System”) constructed, owned, and operated by the Gas Company. The Gas
Company determined that the request was economically feasible only if all of the Lots
within the Development Area were subject to all restrictions, covenants, conditions and
reservations imposed by Sections 3.25 through 3.28 of this Declaration (collectively, the
“Propane Deed Restrictions”). Subject to the imposition of the Propane Deed
Restrictions, the Gas Company committed to provide propane gas service, through the
Gas System, to the Development Area. Therefore, in accordance with both the doctrines
of restrictive covenants and reliance by the Gas Company, the Declarant desires to
impose the Propane Deed Restrictions upon the Development Area.
(ii) Propane Restrictions.

(A) All structures having more than 1,000 square feet of enclosed,
temperature-controlled area built within the Development Area shall be and shall
remain completely plumbed for propane gas use, to be supplied exclusively by the Gas
Company through the Gas System, for all of the following: (1) water heaters; and (2)
furnaces and permanently attached air heating systems. In addition, all such structures
shall have a gas yardline installed from the service located near the street to the house
upon such Lot.

(B) Other than containers utilized in the Development Area by or for the
benefit of the Gas Company, no propane fuel storage containers exceeding ten gallons in
capacity shall be located, permitted, used or installed on the Property, except for
containers permanently attached to a vehicle or outdoor equipment and only if such
container is used solely to fuel said vehicle or outdoor equipment.

(C) The Association shall have no right to impose any assessments, dues, tax
or use fees against the owner or operator of any part of the Gas System or against any
property interests related to the Gas System.

(D) The Gas Company is authorized to, but has no duty or obligation to, take
steps it considers reasonable to remedy any violation of this Section 3.25 and the Gas
Company is released from all liability for costs, damages, etc. related thereto.
Additionally, each Owner shall be liable to compensate the Gas Company for reasonable
charges and damages related thereto, including, without limitation, all costs of collection
and enforcement, and court costs and attorney’s fees.

Propane Fuel Use Covenant and Condition. Section 3.26 is hereby added to the
ind is as follows:

(2) all furnaces and permanently attached air heating systems installed or utilized
thereon (the “Propane Use Requirements”).

(b) Each Lotis subject to and bound by the Propane Use Requirements unless

(c) | Upon the occurrence of a violation of the Propane Use Requirements on a
Lot, the Owner of the Lot is obligated to and shall pay to the Gas Company the

Propane Use Requirements shall occur upon the installation or utilization on a Lot of: (1)
a water heater; or (2) a furnace/permanently-attached air heating system, which does not
exclusively utilize propane fuel supplied by the Gas Company through the Gas System
for heating purposes. The amount of the applicable Recoupment Fee shall be as follows:

A. If the Recoupment Fee and requisite written notice is received by
the Gas Company prior to the occurrence of a violation of the Propane Use
Requirements on the Lot, the Recoupment Fee shall equal $950.

B. If the Recoupment Fee and requisite written notice is not received
by the Gas Company prior to the occurrence of a violation of the Propane Use
Requirements on the Lot, the Recoupment Fee shall equal $1,250.

¢. If the Recoupment Fee and requisite written notice is not received
by the Gas Company prior to the occurrence of a violation of the Propane Use
Requirements on the Lot, and the Gas Company refers the unpaid Recoupment
Fee obligation to a collection agency or attorney, the Recoupment Fee shall equal
$1,250 plus all costs incurred by the Gas Company to collect the Recoupment Fee,
including, but not limited to, all costs of collection and enforcement, and court
costs and attorney’s fees. The Gas Company agrees to provide written notice
regarding the current amount of such costs incurred within 5 business days of its
receipt of a written request from the Lot's Owner, accompanied by a self-
addressed, postage-paid envelope.

3. Reservation of Gas Utility Easement. Section 3.27 is hereby added to the
Declaration and is as follows:

West Cypress Hills Amended and Restated Master Declaration of Master Declarations, Conditions
and Restrictions, recorded as Document No. 2006222235, Official Public Records of Travis County,
Texas (the "Master Declaration"). In accordance with Section 6.0S(b) of the Declaration, these Design
Guidelines may be amended from time to time by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Version 1.00

266847-2 09/04/2007
I. INTRODUCTION
Any notice or information required to be submitted to West Cypress Hills Reviewer
under these Design Guidelines hereunder will be submitted to the West Cypress Hills Reviewer
at 3600 North Capital of Texas Highway, Building B, Ste. 320, Austin, Texas 78746; Phone: (512)
329-6600; Fax: (512) 329-6462.

Background

West Cypress Hills is a master planned community located in Travis County, Texas (the
"Community"). The Community consists of Development Areas which are subject to the terms
and provisions of the West Cypress Hills Amended and Restates Master Declaration of Master
Declarations, Conditions and Restrictions, recorded as Document No. 2006222235, Official
Public Records of Travis County, Texas (the "Master Declaration"), and any recorded
Development Area Declaration for each particular Development Area (the "Development Area
Declaration"). The Master Declaration and each Development Area Declaration includes
provisions governing the construction of improvements and standards of maintenance, use and
conduct for the preservation of the Community.

West Cypress Hills Reviewer and Review Authority

Article VI of the Master Declaration includes procedures and criteria for the construction
of improvements within the West Cypress Hills Development. Each Development Area
Declaration provides that any and all Improvements must be erected, placed, constructed,
painted, altered, modified or remodeled in strict compliance with the requirements of the
Design Guidelines, and both the Master Declaration and Development Area Declaration
provide that no Improvements may be constructed without the prior written approval of the
West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Until the expiration of the Development and Sales Period, and unless Declarant
delegates its authority in writing, the West Cypress Hills Reviewer shall consist of Declarant,
Cypress Ranch, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (the "Declarant") or one or more persons
designated by Declarant from time to time to act on its behalf pursuant to the terms of the
Master Declaration. As provided in Article XI of the Master Declaration, Declarant has a
substantial interest in ensuring that Improvements within the Community maintain and
enhance Declarant' s reputation as a community developer and do not impair Declarant' s ability
to market and sell all or any portion of the Community, and as a consequence thereof, the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer acts solely in Declarant' s interest and shall owe no duty to any other
Owner or the WCH Master Community, Inc. (the "Association"). Upon termination of the
Development and Sale Period, or earlier if delegated in writing by the Declarant, the
Association, acting through an architectural control committee (the "ACC") will have the
powers of the West Cypress Hill Reviewer.

266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Unless alternate Design Guidelines are adopted for additional Development Areas,
these Design Guidelines will apply to each Development Area made subject to the Master
Declaration. These Design Guidelines will apply only to Lots within a Development Area
which will be used for residential purposes. These Design Guideli11es are not intended to
replace or supersede the Master Declaration, any applicable Development Area Declaration
and/or final written approval of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Governmental Requirements

Governmental ordinances and regulations are applicable to all Lots within West Cypress
Hills. It is the responsibility of each Owner to obtain all necessary permits and inspections.
Compliance with these Design Guidelines is not a substitute for compliance with the applicable
ordinances and regulations. Please be advised that these Design Guidelines do not list or
describe each requirement which may be applicable to a Lot within West Cypress Hills. Each
Owner is advised to review all encumbrances affecting the use and improvement of their Lot
prior to submitting plans to the West Cypress Hills Reviewer for approval. Furthermore,
approval by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer should not be construed by the Owner that any
Improvement complies with the terms and provisions of all encumbrances which may affect the
Owner's Lot. Certain encumbrances may benefit parties whose interests are not addressed by
the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer shall bear no responsibility for ensuring plans
submitted to the West Cypress Hills Reviewer comply with any applicable building codes,
zoning regulation and other government requirements. It is the responsibility of the Owner to
secure any required governmental approvals prior to construction on such Owner's Lot.

Interpretation

In the event of any conflict between these Design Guidelines, the Master Declaration
and any applicable Development Area Declaration, the Master Declaration, the Development
Area Declaration and then the Design Guidelines shall control, in such order. Capitalized
terms used in these Design Guidelines and not otherwise defined in this document shall
have the same meaning as set forth in the Development Area Declaration. Any deposits will
not be returned until final inspection has been completed.

Amendments

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may amend these Design Guidelines. All
amendments shall become effective upon recordation in the Official Public Records of Travis
County, Texas. Amendments shall not apply retroactively so as to require modification or
removal of work already approved and completed or approved and in progress. It is the

3
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
responsibility of each Owner to ensure that they have the most current edition of the Design
Guidelines and every amendment thereto.

II. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PROCESS

Objective

The objective of the review process is to promote aesthetic harmony within the
Community by providing for compatibility of specific designs with surrounding buildings, the
environment and the topography. The review process strives to maintain objectivity and
sensitivity to the individual aspects of design.

Review Process

Requests for approval of proposed construction (both new home and improvements to
existing homes), landscaping, or exterior modifications must conform to the review process
described in the "Plan Submittal" section of these Design Guidelines set forth below.

Responsibility for Compliance

An applicant is responsible for ensuring that all of the applicant's representatives,
including the applicant's architect, engineer, contractors, subcontractors, and their agents and
employees, are aware of these Design Guidelines, the Master Declaration, each applicable
Development Area Declaration, and all requirements imposed by the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer as a condition of approval.

Insurance

Builders, contractors and their subcontractors performing work with West Cypress Hills
are required to carry Commercial General Liability, Comprehensive Automobile Liability and
Workers Compensation insurance at the minimum coverage levels established by the Texas
Board of Insurance. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer requires an Owner to procure adequate
commercial liability insurance during construction naming the Association as additional
insured, in an amount to be determined, from time to time by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Inspection

Upon completion of all approved work, the Owner must notify the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may inspect the work at any time to verify
conformance with the approved submittals.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
III. ARCHITECTURAL AND AESTHETIC STANDARDS

Aesthetic Appeal

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may disapprove the construction or design of a home,
modification or improvement on purely aesthetic grounds. Any prior decisions of the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer regarding matters of design or aesthetics shall not be deemed to have
set a precedent if the West Cypress Hills Reviewer feels that the repetition of such actions
would have any adverse effect on the community.

Prohibited Elements

The following architectural elements are prohibited within West Cypress Hills unless
expressly approved in advance and in writing by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer:

Prohibited Materials and Colors:

• Prohibited exterior materials include but are not limited to, exposed concrete blocks,
plywood, log, plastic masonite, wood siding (wood siding accents may be permitted if
approved by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer) and metal siding.
• Vivid, inappropriate colors are prohibited.
• Bright, flashy materials, such as reflective glass, are not permitted.

Minimum Square Footage

The minimum heated/air-conditioned square footage for each residence constructed for the
following Lot sizes (as categorized by the Declarant):

• For Lots categorized by the Declarant as sixty feet (60') or less: 1,800 sq. feet for
single-story home; 2,100 sq. feet for two- story

• For Lots categorized by the Declarant as greater than sixty feet (60') and less than
or equal to seventy feet (70'): 2,200 sq. feet for single-story; 2,500 sq. feet for two-
story

feet for single-story; 2,900 sq. feet for two-story

For the purpose of calculating total square footage, open or screened porches, terraces,
patios, decks, driveways, garages, storage facilities and walkways shall be excluded. Other
detached accessory uses such as cabanas or garages are permitted, but will not count toward the
minimum square footage requirement. The calculation of square feet shall be measured from
outside brick to outside brick.

At least twenty-five percent (25%) of a Builder's dwellings on each street should be setback at
least four feet (4') beyond the required setback in order to vary the streetscape.

Setback variances may be granted for unusual topographical situations, at the sole discretion of
the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Masonry

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer encourages the restrained use of a variety of materials,
which can add textural richness to the structure. The goal is to have houses constructed with
materials that are compatible with the general color and texture of the surrounding landscape.

• For Lots categorized by the Declarant as sixty feet (60') or less, the front and the
side elevation of the dwelling's first floor and the front elevation of the second
floor shall be hundred percent (100%) masonry construction, except over roofed
area, with a minimum five foot (5') masonry return on each side of the second
floor. Masonry shall include brick, stone, stucco, or any other native type of
stone veneer. Concrete fiber products such as board and batten may be
permitted in small areas not to exceed one hundred (100) square feet.

• For Lots categorized by the Declarant as seventy feet (70') or greater, each
elevation of the dwelling's first floor and the front elevation of the second floor
shall be one hundred percent (100%) masomy construction, except over roofed
area, with a minimum eight foot (8') masonry return on each side of the second
floor. Masonry shall include brick, stone, stucco, or any other native type of
stone veneer. Concrete fiber products such as board and batten may be permitted

exterior walls of the dwelling shall be comprised of one hundred percent (100%)
stone or masomy construction.

• Exposed foundations shall be limited to eighteen inches (18") in height on front
elevations, and twenty-four inches (24") in height for side elevations visible from
the street/ in front of the fence line. The height of exposed foundations is limited
to forty-eight inches (48") on all other sides (behind the fence line) and rear
elevations. "Split-level" plans are also required to have no more than forty-eight
inches (48") of exposed foundation and should be stair-stepped, so no area of the
exposed foundation exceeds forty-eight inches (48").

Plan Repetition

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may deny a plan or elevation proposed for a particular Lot if
a substantially similar plan or elevation exists on a Lot in close proximity to the Lot on which
the plan or elevation is proposed. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may adopt additional
requirements concerning substantially similar plans or elevations constructed in proximity to
each other.

• The same dwelling plan, regardless of elevation, shall not be constructed within two
dwellings adjacent on either side or the three dwellings directly opposite from the
subject dwelling, to include dwellings across the side street for comer lots. (See diagram
below).
• Variances may be considered on an individual basis for dramatically different
elevations. A variance request form must be submitted to the committee for
review/approval before plot plan submittal.

• Lots marked X in the diagram below require a different dwelling plan, elevation
and masonry color from Plan A Lot.

Irrigation

Landscape irrigation systems are not mandatory.

All irrigation systems installed must be connected to a potable water supply and must be
properly connected through a backfiow prevention device approved by TCEQ. Backflow prevention
devices must be tested by a licensed backflow prevention assembly inspector at least annually. Title 30
TAC Chapter 344 applies to all irrigation installations.

Landscape irrigation systems, if installed, shall include the following water conservation
features:

• Landscape irrigation systems shall be installed by a licensed irrigator unless the
homeowner is physically installing the system. Contractors installing irrigation systems
must provide system design plans to the homeowner for Lots and to the Association for
Common Areas. Scheduling recommendations shall be posted in or near the irrigation
controller box.
• All automatic irrigation systems are required to have a rain sensor connected to an
irrigation controller in order to stop the irrigation cycle during and after a rainfall event.
Rain sensors are to be installed in a location where rainfall is unobstructed, such as a
rooftop or fence line. Rain sensors are to be adjusted at the one-fourth-inch setting.
• All irrigation systems are required to have pressure regulators if static pressure at the
site exceeds the sprinkler manufacturer's recommended operating range.
• Irrigation systems are to have a controller with multiple cycles, rain sensor capability
and an irrigation water budget feature.
• Sprinkler systems will be designed as to minimize overspray onto hardscapes. Planting
beds may be irrigated with low-flow or spray irrigation. All spray heads must be
designed to prevent low head drainage.
• Low volume irrigation shall be installed in areas less than ten feet (10') wide, such as
median strips and parking islands.

Spray irrigation of each lot shall be limited to two and a half times (2½ X) the foundation
footprint with a 12,000 square foot maximum. The footprint may include both the house and
garage, but not the driveway or patio.

Conservation Guidelines

All new landscapes shall have a minimum settled soil depth of four inches (4") and a
recommended six to eight inches (6" -8") of soil depth in areas planted with turf grass. Soil in
these areas may be either native soil from the site or imported, improved soil. Improved soil
will be a mix of no less than twenty percent (20%) compost blended with sand and loam. The
16
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
soil/compost blend shall be incorporated into a two inch (2") scarified transition layer of the
native soil. The depth requirement does not apply to the area between the drip line and trunk
of existing trees, shrub beds or wildscape areas. Areas with existing native vegetation that
remain undisturbed shall be exempt from the soil depth provision of this section; provided that
native soil and vegetation in such area is fenced during construction and protected from
disturbance and compaction during the construction process.

Native soil disturbed shall be stockpiled and reused on site.

All landscape materials shall be installed and maintained according to generally
accepted landscape practices for the Central Texas/Hill Country region.

A minimum of two inches (2") of mulch should be maintained in all shrub and bed
areas.

Fertilization of turf areas shall not be required.

Landscape companies providing maintenance shall use only the following fertilizer and
pest management practices:

• In turf areas that are to be fertilized, natural or certified organic fertilizers with less
than four percent (4%) phosphorus shall be used.
• Fertilizer shall be applied at a rate of one-half(½) pound of nitrogen per 1000 square
feet, not to exceed a total of one (1) pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year.
• Integrated Pest Management ("IPM") Techniques are encouraged. Organic, non
broad cast, pest-specific applications are encouraged. 1PM techniques are detailed in
the Homeowners Manual.

Builders shall be required to offer a WaterWise landscape option in any series of
landscape options offered to home buyers. The seven basic principles of WaterWise
landscaping include:

• Proper planning and design;
• Proper soil preparation (compost-improved topsoil);
• Practical turf grass selection of drought resistant-species;
• Plant selection comprised of native or adapted trees, shrubs and flowers. The use of
invasive plants will be avoided.
• Efficient irrigation systems;
• Use of mulches;
• Appropriate maintenance.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Landscape Inspection

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may, upon the Owner's completion of the installation
of landscaping, conduct an on-site inspection of the property to ensure compliance with the
approved plan.

Drainage

Responsibility for proper site drainage rests with the Owner. There shall be no
interference with the established drainage patterns except by Declarant, unless adequate
provision is made for proper drainage and such provision has been certified by a professional
engineer and approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer. When Improvements
are made to a Lot which alter the drainage flow, drainage swales must be provided by the
Owner to insure that the building improvement does not interfere with established water
movement over the Lot or create an increased inundation of an adjoining property. No area
drains are allowed to extend through the curb.

Fencing, Screening and Walls

Prior to occupancy of any residence, a fence must be constructed to enclose the rear
yard. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may, in its sole discretion, prohibit the construction of
any proposed fence, or specify the materials of which a fence must be constructed, or require
that any proposed fence be screened by vegetation or otherwise screened so as not to be visible
from other portions of the Development Area, or specify the location on any Lot of any
proposed fence or gates.

• Fences and walls may not exceed six and one-half feet (6½') in height.

• Fence facing front of street and facing greenbelt shall be constructed using
wrought iron or equivalent maintenance free material.

• Side fence shall be of wooden construction (cedar or redwood), vertical slat,
privacy fence, with no gaps between slats and no access gate.

• If the back property line adjoins another residential unit, a wooden privacy fence
shall be constructed along the back.

• No fence or wall on any Lot shall extend nearer to any front street than two feet
(2') behind the front wall of the principal building, or nearer to any side street
than the minimum setback line.

• Fencing abutting a street, or which are visible from a street, permanent open
space, or greenbelt area must be constructed with the finished side facing the
street or open space. These fences may be double-faced.

18
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
• A fence or "screening plant" material must enclose all utility boxes, meters, pool
equipment and air conditioning units. (See the Approved Plant List for
appropriately sized evergreen plants).

• Fencing of front yards is not permitted.

• Plastic, common cement, cinder block, chain-linked or wire fences are NOT
permitted on residential Lots.

• Damaged or deteriorated fences must be repaired by Owner within thirty (30)
days of written notice from the Association.

• All retaining wall plans must be submitted prior to construction to the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer.

• Retaining walls on a residential lot that runs parallel with any street shall not
exceed four feet (4') in height. Grade changes that require retaining walls
exceeding four feet (4') must be terraced with a minimum of four feet (4') clear
separation between each wall. A three feet (3') minimum planting separation
strip between back of curb or sidewalk and face of wall is required. This
planting separation strip must be planted and maintained with approved plant
material

IV. EROSION CONTROL AND CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS
The following restrictions shall apply to all construction activities within West Cypress
Hills. Periodic inspections by a representative of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer may take
place in order to identify non-complying construction activities. If items identified as not
complying with the regulations are not remedied in a timely manner, fines may be levied
against the Owner, in addition to costs to remediate.

Erosion Control Installation and Maintenance

Each Owner shall comply with the terms of the applicable "Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan" issued prior to construction on such Owner's Lot. Additionally, the West
Cypress Hills Reviewer shall have the power to establish reasonable policies seeking to enhance
erosion control and water quality in the Developmental Area. Such policies may extend to the
Owner and the Owner's agents or contractors. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer shall have the
power to impose reasonable fines to deter non-compliance with these policies, and to reimburse
the Association for its actual costs in repairing the non-compliance so long as the Owner has
been provided with the actual notice of the policies after adoption by the West Cypress Hills
Reviewer. It is the responsibility of the Owner to install erosion control measures and inlet
protection prior to clearing and start of construction and to maintain the measures throughout
construction until the area is re-vegetated. Periodic inspections by a representative of the West

19
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Cypress Hills Reviewer may take place in order to identify non-complying construction
activities.

Silt fencing is required to be properly installed and maintained to protect the downhill
sides of all disturbed areas, where stormwater will flow during construction. Silt fencing must
be installed with ''j-hooks" and follow the guidelines in the LCRA Highland Lakes Watershed
Ordinance Water Quality Management Technical Manual. These protections must be
maintained throughout construction and must remain in place until the area is revegetated and
fully grown-in/rooted. If it is found that construction has begun before the appropriate erosion
controls have been installed, applicable fines will be assessed. The purpose of the silt fence is to
capture the sediment from the runoff and to permit filtered, clean water to exit the site. The
Owner should anticipate that built-up sediment will need to be removed from the silt fence
after heavy or successive rains, and that any breach in the fencing will need to be repaired or
replaced immediately.

If for any reason the silt fence is to be temporarily removed, please contact a
representative of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer prior to the removal. All silt fencing must be
replaced by the end of the work day.

Security

Neither the Declarant, the Association, nor the West Cypress Hills Reviewer will be
responsible for the security of job sites during construction. If theft or vandalism occurs, the
Owner should first contact the Travis County Sheriff's Department and then notify a
representative of the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

Construction Hours

Unless a written waiver is obtained from the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, construction
may take place only during the following hours: Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until
7:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

There shall be no construction on Sundays or the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Memorial Day, July 4 th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas Day.

Construction Speed Limit

The construction speed limit for all construction vehicles within the West Cypress Hills
is 20 mph. Violators will be assessed fines for safety violations.

20
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Noise, Animals, Children

The use of radios, Lape, CD or other eleclronic audio players must be restrained so as not
to be heard on an adjoining lot or street.

to construction sites.

Material and Equipment Storage

All construction materials and equipment shall be neatly stacked, properly covered and
secured. Construction materials for Improvements to existing residences must be stored/staged
out of view. Storage bins, if used for on-site material storage, must be in good repair. Any
storage of materials or equipment shall be the Owner's responsibility and at their risk. All
equipment, materials, supplies and temporary structures must be removed immediately upon
completion of construction, leaving the site neat, clean and re-vegetated.

Site Cleanliness

During the construction period, each construction site shall be kept neat and shall be
properly policed. The Association will notify Owners and Builders if a construction site is not
maintained. If the affected site is not cleaned or repaired in a timely manner, the Association, at
its discretion, may clean the site and charge the Owner/Builder its expenses plus an
administrative fee in addition to the fine. Sites not maintained may be subject to fines.

Owners and Builders shall clean up all trash and debris on the construction site on a
daily basis. A fifteen (15) yard minimum steel roll-off dumpster for every three (3) Lots or an
eight feet (8') x eight feet (8') bin for each Lot must be maintained on the site during the
duration of construction from commencement of framing operations through project
completion. The dumpster must be placed as far from adjacent properties as possible. A trash
removal service must be maintained so that overflow and unpleasant odors do not occur. At a
minimum, dumpsters shall be emptied weekly or when eighty percent (80%) full.

Lightweight material, packaging and other items shall be covered or weighted down to
prevent wind from blowing such materials off the construction site. Owners and Builders will
be held responsible for cleaning debris which may blow off their site.

The dumping, burying or burning of trash is not permitted anywhere within West
Cypress Hills.

When moving heavy equipment, precautions must be taken to prevent damage to
pavement, curbs, and vegetation. Any damage will be charged to the Owner. Crawler tractors
are not to be operated on paved or concrete surfaces.

21
266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Mud, dirt and other construction debris tracked off site must be cleaned on a daily basis.

To lessen runoff, soil compaction and tree root damage, driving and parking of
construction vehicles on the unit is discouraged. Construction vehicles may access the unit only
if the unit has a fully functioning, stabilized construction entry point consisting of four inches
(4") bull rock or similar material.

Damage to Property and Trespass

If any landscaping item, including, but not limited to, trees, irrigation, or signage is
damaged within West Cypress Hills property, and it can be reasonably assumed the damage
was caused by the Owner/Builder (including any contractors or subcontractors acting on behalf
of the Builder) the Owner/Builder will be notified of the damage and will have seventy-two (72)
hours to repair or repface the item. Tf the Owner/Builder does not comply, the Association at its
discretion, may clean the site and charge the Owner/Builder its expenses plus an administrative
fee in addition to the fine.

Owners, Builders, their employees, contractors, or other construction personnel are
expressly prohibited from disturbing, damaging, or trespassing on property owned by others.
Access to the greenbelt, utility site or any rm-developed areas without the written permission of
the Association and without placing a refundable deposit in advance is strictly prohibited.

materials and equipment on or adjacent to the unit. An approved barrier, lights, signs, and
other safeguards must be erected, furnished, and maintained. Adequate warning must be given
to everyone on or near the unit of dangerous conditions during the work. If the Owner/Builder
does not comply, a fine will be assessed.

Sanitary Facilities

During construction, a temporary sanitary facility (chemical toilet) shall be provided and
maintained in a location approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer. Portable
chemical toilets must be in place on site prior to commencement of construction and removed
when construction is completed. One (1) maintained portable chemical toilet will be required
for every three (3) houses under construction. The portable chemical toilet must be placed as far
from adjacent properties and streets as possible.

Concrete Washout

Concrete truck washout or spoils must be in place prior to construction and be
constructed and maintained in compliance with the LCRA Highland Lakes Watershed
