Each Owner shall be a member of the Owners Association, and: (A) % of the voting power shall be allocated on the basis of the Acreage Proportion; and (B) % of the voting power shall be allocated on the basis of the Building Proportion. The Owners Association shall be governed by a board of directors that consists of at least three persons who are elected annually and who shall have complete responsibility for governing the Owners Association and satisfying the obligations and duties of the Owners Association (the "Board of Directors "). (ii) On the date that the Owners Association is organized (the "Succession Date "), the Owners Association shall succeed to all of the obligations, duties, rights, and powers vested in Declarant by this Declaration (except Declarant's obligations, duties, rights, and powers as an Owner); provided that neither the Owners Association nor the Board of Directors shall execute or record any additional instruments binding the Owners or Parties in Interest and defining or specifying the location of any easement(s), unless the Board of Directors first obtains the written consent of all Owners of the Parcels that are burdened by the easement. On the Succession Date: (A) Declarant shall be discharged from all further obligations and duties under this Declaration (except Declarant's obligations and duties as an Owner); (B) the Owners Association shall assume, succeed to, and be responsible for, the payment of all outstanding debts and obligations that were incurred by Declarant in connection with the obligations, duties, rights, and powers vested in Declarant by this Declaration (the "Debts "); and (C) the Owners Association shall assume, succeed to, and be responsible for the performance of all contracts entered into by and between Declarant and any other party in connection with the obligations, duties, rights, and powers vested in Declarant by this Declaration (the "Contracts ").
