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

1 The following abbreviations are used herein:

“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.

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

3

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.

4

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.

5

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

7

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

8

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;…”

9

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,

10

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,

11

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

12

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.

Each Owner is advised to review all encumbrances affecting the use and improvement of their Lot or Condominium Unit 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 or Condominium Unit.

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.

(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.

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

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 improving the Common Area and, in furtherance thereof, mortgage the Common Area;

(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;

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.

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

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) .

3.09 Insurance.

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.

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

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

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, unplatted , improved, or unimproved portion of the Development, Lot or Condominium Unit from Assessments; or (ii) delay the levy of Assessments against any platted, unplatted , 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.

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

42

Page 64

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

8.15 Notices. Any notice permitted or required to be given to any person by this Master Declaration will be in writing and may be delivered either personally or by mail. If delivery is made by mail, it will be deemed to have been delivered on the third (3rd) day (other than a Sunday or legal holiday) after a copy of the same has been deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the person at the address given by such person to the Association for the purpose of service of notices. Such address may be changed from time to time by notice in writing given by such person to the Association.

ARTICLE IX EASEMENTS

9.01 Right of Ingress and Egress. Declarant, its agents, employees and designees will have a right of ingress and egress over and the right of access to the Common Area or Special Common Area to the extent necessary to use the Common Area or Special Common Area and the right to such other temporary uses of the Common Area or Special Common Area as may be 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 Declaration are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Master Declaration for 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.

Page 65

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

9.04 Declarant as Attorney in Fact. To secure and facilitate Declarant's exercise of the rights reserved by Declarant pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Master Declaration, each Owner, by accepting a deed to a Lot or Condominium Unit and each Mortgagee, by accepting the benefits of a Mortgage against a Lot or Condominium Unit, and any other third party by acceptance of the benefits of a mortgage, deed of trust, mechanic's lien contract, mechanic's lien claim, vendor's lien and/or any other security interest against any Lot or Condominium Unit, will thereby be deemed to have appointed Declarant such Owner's, 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

DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS

These rights may be exercised with respect to any portions of the Property in accordance with Section 10.05.

Any Development Area Declaration may provide its own procedure for the amendment of any provisions. All lands, Improvements, and uses in each area so developed will be subject to both this Master Declaration and the Development Area Declaration, if any, for that Area.

10.02 Special Declarant Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Master Declaration to the contrary, at all times, Declarant will have the right and privilege: (i) to erect and maintain advertising signs (illuminated or non-illuminated), sales flags, other sales devices and banners for the purpose of aiding the sale of Lots or Condominium Units in the Development; (ii) to maintain Improvements upon Lots as sales, model, management, business and construction offices; and (iii) to maintain and locate construction trailers and construction tools and equipment within the Development.

Page 66

the right and privilege for itself to conduct the activities enumerated in this Section 10.02 until two (2) years after the expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period.

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 would expire within one hundred and eighty (180) days of giving the Notice required by Section 11.02 (a), unless the party or parties against whom the Claim is made agree to toll the statute of limitations as to such Claim for such

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.

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.

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.

This Second Amendment to Development Area Declaration West Cypress Hills, Phase One, Section Two (this “Amendment”) is made by CYPRESS RANCH, LTD., a Texas limited partnership (“Declarant”), and is as follows:

RECITALS:

A.

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:

(b) Each Lotis subject to and bound by the Propane Use Requirements unless and until a one-time gas line construction recoupment fee (“Recoupment Fee”) is received by the Gas Company and accompanied with written notice identifying the payment as the Recoupment Fee for a specifically identified Lot.

(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 applicable Recoupment Fee. For the purposes of this Declaration, a violation of 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 selfaddressed , postage-paid envelope.

Adopted by Cypress Ranch, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, in accordance with Section 6.0S(b) of 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.

2

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.

266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS 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

• For Lots categorized by the Declarant as greater than seventy feet (70'): 2, 500 sq.

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.

Minimum Building Setback Requirements

Note: These setbacks are for general information only. Refer to Final Subdivision Plat and/or any applicable Development Area Declarations for specific Lot setback information. Setbacks are measured from property lines.

Additional Setback

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 in small areas not to exceed one hundred (100) square feet.

6

266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS DESIGN GUIDELINES • For Lots in which the rear elevation faces a subdivision collector street, the 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.

Plan A Plan A

Brick Color and Masonry Stone Repetition

The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may deny a brick color or masomy stone color combination for a particular Lot if a substantially similar masomy color combination exists on a Lot in close

7

266847-2 09/04/2007 WEST CYPRESS HILLS DESIGN GUIDELINES proximity to the Lot on which the brick or stone is proposed. Different stone/brick color combinations are required for the two dwellings adjacent to the subject dwelling. The West Cypress Hills Reviewer may adopt additional requirements concerning substantially similar stone/brick/masonry materials in proximity to each other.

Building Materials

All building materials must be approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, and only new building materials may be used for constructing any Improvements. All projections from a dwelling or other structure, including but not limited to chimney flues, vents, gutters, downspouts, utility boxes, porches, railings and exterior stairways must, unless otherwise approved by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, be similar in color to the surface from which they project. No highly reflective finishes (other than glass, which may not be mirrored) may be used on exterior surfaces (other than surfaces of hardware fixtures), including, without limitation, the exterior surfaces of any Improvements.

Height and Views

Unless otherwise approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer, no building or residential structure may exceed thirty-five feet (35') in height as measured from the finished floor elevation to the highest ridge, peak, or gable of a roof (exclusive of chimneys and ventilators). The West Cypress Hills Reviewer has the authority to withhold its approval of a structure's height notwithstanding the previous provisions if the West Cypress Hills Reviewer determines that the proposed height is not compatible with adjacent structures or is not responsive to existing or anticipated structure heights on lots located above or below the lot on which the proposed residence will be constructed.

Views are neither guaranteed, preserved nor protected within the West Cypress Hills Community.

The pitch, color and composition of all roof materials must be approved in writing by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer. Roof vents and other penetrations shall penetrate at the back side of the roof to be as unobtrusive as possible and must be similar in color to the principal color of the roof unless approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

• Accepted Roof Pitch: Minimum pitch of 5/12, maximum pitch of 12/12.

Exceptions for porches and architectural elements may be approved in advance by the West Cypress Hills Reviewer.

• Accepted Roof Materials: Architectural grade composite shingles with a rating of twenty-five (25) years or greater and neutral/earth tone in color. Concrete, clay tile, slate, or non-reflective metal with baked on neutral color finish are also

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.
