CALCULATION OF OVERALL SPECIAL TAX REQUIREMENT PROPORTIONALITY Each Fiscal Year, an Overall Special Tax Requirement for CFD No. 14M -2 and CFD No. 14M IA 1 shall be calculated initially as the same amount as the CFD No. 14M IA 1 Special Tax Requirement would have been calculated prior to the creation of CFD No. 14M-2. Then, for purposes of the levy of Special Taxes within CFD No. 14M-2, the amount of the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement shall be an amount equal to the Overall Special Tax Requirement less the amount of the levy of special taxes in CFD No. 14M IA 1 on Developed Property at 100% of the Maximum Special Tax (as such terms are defined in the CFD No. 14M IA 1 RMA). If the amount of Developed Property Maximum Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal Year within CFD No. 14M-2 exceeds the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement, then the levy on Developed Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M -2 shall be reduced Proportionately to the amount required to fund the Overall Special Tax Requirement. If the amount of Developed Property Maximum Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal Year within CFD No. 14M-2 is less than the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement, then all Approved Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 shall be taxed Proportionately, up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax, as necessary to satisfy the Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement shall include such amount to be levied on Approved Property in CFD No. 14M-2. If the combined amount of Developed Property and Approved Property Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal Year within both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 is less than the Overall Special Tax Requirement, then all Undeveloped Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 shall be taxed Proportionately, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax, as necessary to satisfy the Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M -2 Special Tax Requirement shall include such amount to be levied on Undeveloped Property in CFD No. 14M-2. If the combined amount of Developed Property, Approved Property, and Undeveloped Property Special Taxes that can be collected in that Fiscal Year within both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M-2 is less than the Overall Special Tax Requirement, then all Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable CPF Property in both CFD No. 14M IA 1 and CFD No. 14M- 2 shall be taxed Proportionately, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax, as necessary to satisfy the Overall Special Tax Requirement, and the CFD No. 14M-2 Special Tax Requirement shall include such amount to be levied on all Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable CPF Property in CFD No. 14M-2.
