Section 1. Annexation Without Approval of Class "A" Membership. As the owner thereof, or if not the owner, with the consent of the owner thereof, Declarant shall have the unilateral right, privilege, and option, from time to time at any time until all property described on Exhibit "A" has been subjected to this Declaration or January 1, 2005, whichever is earlier, subject to the provisions of this Declaration and the jurisdiction of the Association, all or any portion of the real property described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof. Such annexation shall be accomplished by filing in the public records of Davidson County, Tennessee, an amendment to this Declaration annexing such property. Such Supplemental Declaration shall not require the consent of Members. Any such annexation shall be effective upon the filing for record of such Supplemental Declaration unless otherwise provided therein. Declarant shall have the unilateral right to transfer to any other Person the said right, privilege, and option to annex additional property which is herein reserved to Declarant, provided that such transferee or assignee shall be the developer of at least a portion of the real property described in Exhibit "A" and that such transfer is memorialized in a written, recorded instrument executed by the Declarant.

Annexation shall be accomplished by filing of record in the public records of Davidson County, Tennessee, a Supplemental Declaration describing the property being annexed. Any such Supplemental Declaration shall be signed by the President and the Secretary of the Association, and by the owner of the property being annexed, and any such annexation shall be effective upon filing unless otherwise provided therein.
