(2) By adding to Article IV ((Property Rights in the Common Properties) a new Section 3 as follows:
Section 3. Suspension of Privileges. Suspension of a member or tenant's privileges shall be within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Association, when a tenant or member shall fail to pay, within the time prescribed by Article V, Section 8, any and all assessments then due. Should a tenant or member fail to pay within the time prescribed, and the Board suspends privileges as outlined above, the Board shall notify the tenant or member of such suspension by certified mail, return receipt requested. Reinstatement of said privileges may only occur upon full payment of the delinquent assessment.

The annual assessments (as contemplated by Section 3 hereunder), Special Assessments (contained in Section 4 hereunder) and Unmaintained Property Assessments (contained in Section 5 hereunder), together with such interest thereon and costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall also be a charge and continuing lien on the property against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the owner of such property at the time when the assessment fell due. In the case of the co-ownership of a Lot, Type 'A' Family Unit or Type 'B' Family Unit all of such co-owners shall be jointly and severally liable for the entire amount of the assessment. (6) Article V, Section 2 shall have added as the last sentence of that section the following: Likewise, the purpose of the Unmaintained Property Assessments shall be used for the purpose as set forth in Section 5 of this Article. (7) Article V, Section 5 shall be replaced by the following: Section 5. Unmaintained Property Assessments. In addition to the annual assessments authorized by Section 3 hereof, and Special Assessments authorized by Section 4 hereof, the Association, acting through its Board, may levy an assessment equal to the amount expended by the Board to clean or otherwise maintain property of the owner who allows their property to become unkept, unsightly or unclean as prohibited by Section 4.13 of the "Declarations of Covenants, Restrictions, Limitations and Easements Applicable to Bailiwyck Community." However, prior to any such Unmaintained Property Assessment being levied against an owner's property, the Association through its Board of Directors, shall notify the lot owner, certified mail, return receipt requested, of the Association's intent to levy the assessment. Shall the maintenance complained of not be accomplished on or prior to fifteen (15) days from the receipt of said notice, the Association, through its Board of Directors, shall have the authority to contract for such maintenance and levy against the lot owner, individually and the property (as contemplated in Section 1 above). (8) The original Article V, Section 5 (Change in Basis and Maximum of Annual Assessment Upon Merger or Consolidation.) shall remain unchanged but shall be designated as Section 6 of Article V. (9) The original Article V, Section 6 (Quorum for any Action Authorized; Proxy) shall be designated as Article V, Section 7 and the following added to the existing language: In the event a quorum, as required above, shall not be met, the meeting shall be adjourned and the same rescheduled, subject to the same notice requirement.

Any eligible member wishing to vote by proxy shall submit their proxy to the Association's Secretary on or before the opening of the duly called meeting. The proxy shall be in the form as may be adopted by the Board of Directors of the Association. (10) The original Article V, Section 7 shall be designated as Article V, Section 8 and the third paragraph of this section shall be amended to read as follows: The due date of any other assessments under Sections 4 and 5 hereof shall be fixed in the resolution authorizing such assessment. (11) The fifth paragraph of Article V, Section 8 shall be deleted.
