It is the intention that the lien herein will be secondary and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage loan made by a bonafide lending institution, regardless of the time such mortgage is place of record.

30. Should any provision or part thereof of this Declaration be invalidated by law, regulation or court-decree, such invalidity shall in no way effect the validity of the remaining provision or parts thereof.
