1. Mandatory Dues
A. The Owner or Owners of each Tract agree to pay annual dues to the Club under the terms provided in this Amendment.
B. Each Owner further agrees and covenants that the Owner's annual dues, together with any late charges, interest and enforcement costs, shall if unpaid be a charge upon the land and a continuing lien upon the Owner's Tract to the extent permitted by law.
2. Amount of Dues
A. Before the end of each fiscal year, the Board shall propose, by vote of at least two-thirds of Directors, annual dues for each Tract for the next fiscal year.
B. Dues shall be equal for all Tracts.
C. Owners shall pay annual dues on the date and in the manner fixed by the Board.

A. Dues proposed by the Board for the next fiscal year that are less than or equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the dues for the current fiscal year are ratified unless disapproved at the annual meeting by Owners, in person or by proxy, who represent a majority of the total number of Tracts in Innis Arden No. 1, Innis Arden No. 2, and Innis Arden No. 3, combined.
B. If proposed dues for the next fiscal year exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the dues for the current fiscal year, that portion of the proposed dues that exceeds one hundred and ten percent (110 %) of the dues for the current fiscal year may be vetoed or reduced by a majority vote of the owners of Tracts in Innis Arden No. 1, Innis Arden No. 2, and Innis Arden No. 3 who are present at the annual meeting Only one vote may be cast per Tract.
5. Effect of Non-Payment of Dues; Remedies

If the dues are not paid within one hundred eighty (180) days following the due date, a lien for the dues, penalties, interest and related costs shall attach to the Tract of the Owner(s) whose dues are delinquent.

The Treasurer shall preserve the confidentiality and privacy of any Owner requesting deferral of dues.
C. Each Owner grants to the Board, on behalf of and for the benefit of all Owners, and upon a delinquent Owner's sale or other transfer of the Tract, the right, power and duty to take any reasonable and lawful actions, including enforcement of a lien, that may be necessary to collect the sums owed under this amendment.
D. Each payment shall be applied first to the Club's filing and collection costs, then to late charges, then to interest and then to delinquent dues.
6. Effective Date
This Amendment shall take effect on the date it is recorded, provided that substantially identical amendments of the Restrictive Mutual Easements applicable to Innis Arden No. 2 and Innis Arden No. 3 are also recorded on the same date so that a common plan for mandatory dues is established for all three Innis Arden subdivisions.
