Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Community
Purpose Facility Property, (iv) Open Space and (v) Assessor's Parcels with public
or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the
purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such classification
shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A
and 42.43 Acres in Zone 13. Property which cannot be classified as Exempt
Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable
Property to less than 40.98 Acres in Zone A and 42.43 Acres in Zone B will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the
fourth step of Section D. Tax exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property
becomes Exempt Property.
2. The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public agency but
which is classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant to paragraph 1
of Section E shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.1, prior to
the transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency. Until the
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public Property is prepaid,
the property shall continue to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as
Provisional Undeveloped Property.
3. If the use of an Assessor's Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such
Assessor's Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in paragraph 1
that would make such Assessor's Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt
Property, such Assessor's Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property
and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their
Assessor's Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such

necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are delinquent in the payment of
Special Taxes.
Tenders of Bonds may be accepted for payment of Special Taxes upon the terms and
- conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond

"CFI) Public Facilities" means those public facilities authorized to be financed by CFD-
08-1.
"CFD Public Facilities Costs" means either $19 million, or such lower nnmber as shall
be determined either by (a) the CFD Administrator as sufficient to finance the CFD Public
Facilities, or (b) the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more
Bonds to be secured by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of
Apportionment.
"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold
funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the CFD Public

the date of prepayment and (iii) directly fi.om Special Tax revenues and (b) the mount of
the proceeds of all previously issued Bonds then on deposit in the Construction Fund2
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will rema'm outstanding
after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year,
excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum
Annual Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid
and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as
described herein; provided, however that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax
obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.
Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may
charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure, which can be collected prior to preparing
such calculation.
The prepayment amount shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as
defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Prepayment Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Step No.:
1. For Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for the
Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Undeveloped Property for which a building
permit has been issued to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property,
based upon the building permit, issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For Provisional
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
City of Chula Vista 11-25-02
Community Facilities District No. 08-1
Otay Ranch Village Six Page 10
such Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped
- Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step 1 by the sum of
the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be levied
within CFD-08-1 excluding any Assessor's Parcels for which the Maximum Annual
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the principal mount of the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
5. If all the Bonds authorized to be issued for CFD-08-I have not been issued, compute
the Future Facilities Costs.
6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the amount if any, determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be allocated to
such Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities ,~mount'9.
- 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal
Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year, which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the fees and expenses of CFD-084, h~cluding but not limited to, the costs
of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the
costs of redeeming Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment, and the cost of
recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the
"Prepayment Fees and Expenses")
11. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
reinvestment of the prepayment amount less the Prepayment Fees and Expenses, as
determined pursuant to step 10, from the date of prepayment until the redemption
date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
12. Add the amounts computed pursuant to steps 7 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to step 11 (the "Defeasance Amount").

13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser off (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment fi.om the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no
event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at
the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized
interest credit shall be calculated by mu!tiplying the quotient computed pursuant to
step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest
payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
15. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 6, 10, and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant
to steps 13 and 14 (the "Prepayment Amount").
16. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 12, 13,
and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to step l0 shall be retained by CFD-08-I. The
amount computed pursuant to step 6 shall be deposited in the Construction Fund.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of
Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be
retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next
prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under step 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special
Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel fi.om the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in
compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the
Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within
CFD-084, both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.

2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued
may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section
H. 1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula:
PP =(PexF)+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
P~ = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H. 1, minus Prepayment Fees
and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.
A= the Prepayment Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall notify the CFD Admiuistmtor of (i) such owner's intent to partially
prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum
Annual Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as
the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a
statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to may Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute
the funds remitted to it according to step 16 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records
of CFD-08-I that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Annual Special Tax
and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special Tax equal to the outstanding pementage
(1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Annual Special Tax shall continue to be authorized
to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
I. TERM OF MAXIMUM ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX
The Maximum Annual Special Tax shall be levied commencing in Fiscal Year 2003-2004
to the extent necessary to fully satisfy the Special Tax Requirement and shall be levied for
a period no longer than the 2039-2040 Fiscal Year.
