7.02 Regular Annual Assessments. The initial annual Assessment shall be $600.00 per Lot, subject to revision by the Board as set forth herein without the necessity of an amendment to this Declaration. Thereafter, prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the Board shall estimate expenses, including all debt service ( whether owed to Declarant, an affiliate of Declarant, or otherwise) to be incurred by the Association during such year in performing its functions under this Declaration. Assessments sufficient to pay such estimated expenses plus a prudent reserve shall then be levied as herein provided, and the level of Assessments set by the Board shall 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 as aforesaid. All such regular Assessments shall be due and payable to the Association in the time and manner directed by the Board at its sole discretion, either (a) annually, at the beginning of the fiscal year, or (b) during the fiscal year in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month, or (c) in other convenient installments.

The aforesaid lien shall be superior to all other liens and charges against the said Lot, except only for tax liens and all sums unpaid on a first mortgage lien or first deed of trust filed of record, securing in either instance sums borrowed for the acquisition or improvement of the Lot in question. The Association shall have the power to subordinate the aforesaid Assessment and fine lien to any other lien.
