be for the benefit of all other Owners and shall secure payment of all sums set forth in the

matters are included in the Development Guidelines, if such matters, in the sole judgment and
discretion of the DRC, would conflict with the value and amenities of the Horizons Business

Annual Assessment established hereunder, the Association may declare any remaining balance of

delinquency date thereof, such unpaid amount shall become a binding personal obligation of such
Owner, and the Association shall have the right, pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3 hereof,
to enforce the lien for Assessments imposed by Section 10.1. The Association shall have the
right and duty to take all appropriate actions and steps to collect any such unpaid Assessments.
Each delinquency shall constitute a separate basis for a demand or claim of lien or liens, but any
number of defaults may be included within a single demand or claim of lien or liens on account of
prior delinquencies and shall be deemed to include subsequent delinquencies and amounts due on
account thereof. The Association may institute a suit to recover a money judgment for the same,
together with interest thereon and reasonable expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees,
