first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's Parcel
of Developed Property whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the application
of the Backup Special Tax then the Annual Special Tax shall be increased at the same
percentage from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax for
each such Assessor's Parcel.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on all Contingent Taxable Property at a rate up to 100% of the Maximum Annual Special

Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Community
. Purpose Facility Property (iv) Open Space and (v) Assessor's Parcels with

purposes set forth in the easement; provided, however, that no such classification
shall reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 10.56 Acres for Zone A
and 20.81 Acres for Zone B. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as
Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all
Taxable Property to less than 10.56 Acres for Zone A and 20.81 Acres for Zone B
will be classified as Contingent Taxable Property and shall be taxed pursuant to
the fourth step of Section D. Exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be

The Prepayment Amount (defined below) 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 CaDitalized 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 Assessor's Parcels of 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 Assessor's Parcels of Contingent Taxable Property to be prepaid, compute the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual
Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
2. DiVide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step I by the sum of
the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be levied
within CFD No. 13-1 excluding any Assessors 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 amount 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 No. 13-1 have not been issued, then
compute the Future Facilities Costs.
6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be allocated to
such Assessor's Parcel (the "Future Facilities Amount").

7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Red=ption 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.
9. 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 No. 13-1, including but not limited to, the
costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds,
the costs ofredeemii1g 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 red=ption
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 Amounf'). .
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credif') shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the red=ption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,
or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requir=ent (as defined in
the Indenture) in effect after the red=ption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from 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 multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to
step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest
payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credif').
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 Amounf').
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 shall be retained by CFD No. 13-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.
A5 a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under step 9 above, the crn Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special
Tax levy for such A5sessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
A5sessor'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 sliGh 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
crn No. 13-1 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 Parcei' 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:
PI' = (PE-A x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PI' = the partial prepayment
PE = 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 Administrator 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 (ill) the company or agency that will be acting as
the escrow agent, if applicable. The crn 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.
