5 earth, or by changes in position caused by repair or reconstruction of any Improvements on the

given, the right and authority to grant such easement upon, across, over, or under any part
or all of the Property without conflicting with the terms of this Declaration. This general

exclusions for the best interest of all the Owners within Ozark Meadows as initially built and
expanded. Declarant further reserves the right to establish from time to time, by dedication or
6 otherwise, utility and other easements, and to create other reservations, exceptions and
exclusions convenient or necessary for the use and operation of any other property of the
Declarant, as long as such action does not hamper the enjoyment of Ozark Meadows, as built or
expanded, by the Owners.
5.6 Maintenance Easement: An easement is hereby reserved to the Declarant, and to the
Association, and any member of the Board of Managers, and their respective officers, agents,
employees, and assigns, upon, across, over, in, and under the Lots and Project Parcels and a right
to make such use of the Lots, and Project Parcels as may be necessary or appropriate to make
emergency repairs or to perform the duties and functions which the Association is obligated or
permitted to perform pursuant to this Declaration and related documents or the Project
Documents, including the right to enter upon any Lot, Building Site, or Project Parcel for the
purpose of performing maintenance to the landscaping or the exterior of Improvements to such
Lot, Building site, or Project Parcel as required by this Declaration and related documents or the
Project Documents.

agents, employees, successors, and assigns to enter upon, across, over, in, and under any
portion of the Property for the purpose of changing, correcting, or otherwise modifying
the grade or drainage channels of the Property so as to improve the drainage of water.
Best efforts shall be made to use this easement so as not to disturb the uses of the
Owners, the Association and the Declarant, as applicable, to the extent possible, to
prosecute such drainage work promptly and expeditiously, and to restore any areas
affected by such work to a sightly and usable condition as soon as reasonably possible
following such work. Declarant or its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns
must inform and obtain the approval of the Board prior to undertaking such drainage
work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
5.8 Declarant's Rights Incident to Construction: Declarant, for itself and its successors and
assigns, hereby retains a right and easement of ingress and egress over, in, upon, under, and
across the Common Areas and the Project Common Areas and the right to store materials
thereon and to make such other use thereof as may be reasonably necessary or incident to the
construction of the Improvements on the Property or the Adjoining Land; provided, however,
that no such rights shall be exercised by Declarant in such a way as to unreasonably interfere
with the occupancy, use, enjoyment, or access to an Owner’s Lot or other facility or
improvement by that Owner or his family, tenants, employees, guests or invitees.
5.9 Partition or Combination of Lots No part of a Lot may be partitioned or separated from
any other part thereof, and no Lots may be combined, except as provided in this Section. A Lot
may be subdivided into two Lots: or two or more Lots may be combined into one, only with the

governmental regulations, and all applicable Project Documents. Association’s consent shall be
conditioned, among other conditions, upon payment by the Owner or Owners concerned of all
7 expenses incident to giving the consent, including legal, recording and accounting fees. Every
agreement and recorded instrument for subdivision or combination of Lots shall make adequate
provision for the Assessments appurtenant to or imposed on such Lots. Whether subdivided,
combined, or unchanged, each Lot shall be conveyed, transferred, gifted, devised, bequeathed,
encumbered, or otherwise disposed of, as the case may be, with all appurtenant rights and
interests created by law or by this Declaration, including the Owner’s membership in the
Association and the right to use the Common Areas, and with the appropriate adjustments to the
voting rights, and liability for Assessments as established for such type of Lot by the Board
being made as applicable.
5.10 No Partition of Common Areas: The Common Areas shall be owned by the Association
after conveyance, if any, by Declarant, and no Owner shall bring any action for partition or
division of the Common Areas. By acceptance of a deed or other instrument of conveyance or
assignment, each Owner shall be deemed to have specifically waived such Owner’s rights to
institute or maintain a partition action or any other action designed to cause a division of the
Common Areas, and this Section may be pleaded as a bar to any such action Any Owner who
shall institute or maintain any such action shall be liable to the Association for its costs,
expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in defending any such action.
5.11 Maintenance of Easement Areas: Any parcel or lot affected by the aforedescribed
easements reserved herein shall be maintained continuously by the owner of such lot or parcel.
No structures, plantings, or other materials shall be placed or permitted to remain or other
activities undertaken thereon which may damage or interfere with the use of said easements for
the purpose herein set forth.
ARTICLE VI
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
6.1 Membership: There is hereby established a Design Review Committee which shall be
responsible for the establishment and administration of Design Guidelines to carry out the
purposes and intent of this Declaration. The Committee shall be composed of three persons, who
need not be Members of the Association. All of the members of the Committee shall be
appointed, removed, and replaced by the Board of Managers in their sole discretion.
6.2 Purpose: The Committee shall review, study and either approve or reject proposed
improvements on the property, all in compliance with this Declaration and as further set forth in
the rules and regulations of the Committee.
6.2.1 The Committee shall exercise its best judgment to see that all improvements
conform and harmonize with any existing structures as to external design, quality and
type of construction, materials, color, location on the Building Site, height, grade and
finished ground elevations, and all aesthetic considerations set forth in the Declaration.
6.2.2 No building or improvement on the property shall be erected, placed or altered on
any Lot, Building site, or Project Parcel nor shall any construction be commenced until
plans for such buildings and improvements have been approved by the Committee;
provided, however, that improvements and alterations which are completely within a
building may be undertaken without such approval. Further provided, that the Committee
may in its discretion approve an improvement which has already been constructed or
8 commenced, where such improvement will not otherwise violate the provisions of this
Declaration.
6.2.3 The actions of the committee in the exercise of its discretion by its approval or
disapproval of plans or other information submitted to it, or respect to any other matter
before it, shall be conclusive and binding on interested parties.
6.3 Organization and Operation of Committee:
6.3.1 Term. The term of office of each member of the Committee, subject to Section 6.1,
shall be one year, commencing January l of each year, and continuing until his successor
shall have been appointed, Should a Committee member die, retire, become
incapacitated, or in the event of a temporary absence of a member, a successor may be
appointed as provided in Section 6.1.
6.3.2 Chairman. The chairman of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board of
Managers and the chairman, along with the Board of Managers, shall appoint the two
remaining members to serve on the committee.
6.3.3 Operations. The chairman shall take charge of and conduct all meetings and shall
provide for reasonable notice to each member of the Committee prior to any meeting.
The notice shall set forth the time and place of the meeting, and notice may be waived by
any member. In the absence of a chairman, the party responsible for appointing or
electing the chairman may appoint or elect a successor, or if the absence is temporary, a
temporary successor.
6.3.4 Voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the committee shall
govern its actions and be the act of the Committee. A Quorum shall consist of a majority
of the members.
6.3.5 Expert Consultation. The committee may avail itself of technical and professional
advice and consultants as it deems appropriate but only after determining the Association
has or will receive adequate revenue to cover the cost incurred.
6.4 Expenses: Except as provided below, all expenses of the Committee shall be paid by the
Association. The Committee shall have the right to charge a fee for each application submitted to
it for review, in an amount which may be established by the Committee from time to time, and
such fees shall be collected by the Committee and remitted to the Association to help defray the
expenses of the Committee’s operation. A waiver of a fee shall not constitute a continuing
waiver, except as to the application then pending for which such fee was waived.
6.5 Design Guidelines and Rules: The Committee shall adopt, establish, and publish, from time to time,
Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines shall not be inconsistent with this Declaration, but
shall more specifically define and describe the design standards for Ozark Meadows and the
various uses within Ozark Meadows. The Design Guidelines may be modified or amended from
time to time by the Committee. Further, the Committee, in its discretion, may excuse compliance
with such requirements as are not necessary or appropriate in specific situations and may permit
compliance with different or alternative requirements. However, all changes and/or compliance
with the Ozark Meadows design review process is not a substitute for compliance with
governmental, building, zoning, and subdivision regulations, and each Owner is responsible for
9 obtaining all approvals, licenses, and permits as may be required prior to commencing
construction.
6.6 Limitation of Liability: The Committee shall use reasonable judgment in approving or
disapproving all plans and specification submitted to it. Neither the Committee nor any
individual Committee member shall be liable to any persons for any official act of the committee
in connection with submitted plans and specifications, except to the extent the Committee or any
individual Committee Member acted with malice or wrongful intent. Approval by the Committee
does not necessarily assure approval by the appropriate governmental entity. Notwithstanding
that the Committee has approved plans and specifications, neither the Committee nor any of its
members shall be responsible or liable to any owner, developer, or contractor with respect to any
loss, liability, claims or expense which may arise by reason of such approval of the construction
of the improvements. Neither the Board, the Design Review Committee, or any agent thereof,
nor Declarant or any of its partners, employees, agents, or consultants shall be responsible in any
way for any defects in any plans or specifications submitted, revised or approved in accordance
with these guidelines, nor for any structural or other defects in any work done according to such
plans and specifications. In all events, the Committee shall be defended and indemnified by the
Association in any such suit or proceeding which may arise by reason of the Committee’s
decision. The Association, however, shall not be obligated to indemnify each member of the
Committee to the extent any such member of the committee shall be adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty as a member of the Committee, unless
and then only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit may be brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for
such expense as such court shall deem proper.
6.7 Certificate of Compliance: Upon payment of a reasonable fee established from time to time
by the Board and upon written request of an Owner or his agent, an existing or prospective
Mortgagee, or a prospective Grantee, the Committee shall issue an acknowledged certificate, in
recordable form, setting forth generally whether, to the best of the Committee’s knowledge, the
Owner is in violation of any of the terms and conditions of this Declaration and related
documents. Unless such request shall be complied with within 30 days after receipt of the
request, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Owner and the Owner’s improvement are in
conformance with all the terms and conditions subject to the control of the Committee.
