The calculations shall be undertaken by the CFD Administrator, based on the data in the updated Table 2, as follows: Step 1. Compute the sum of the Maximum Special Tax to be levied on all Developed Property and Update Property within CFD No. 2004-01,plus the sum of the Maximum Special Tax to be levied on all future development as identified in the current development plan as determined by the CFD Administrator in consultation with the property owner(s). Step 2. Determine the amount of Special Tax required to provide 110%debt service coverage on the Outstanding Bonds,plus any other costs associated with the Special Tax Requirement. Step 3. If the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount computed pursuant to step 2,then no Special Tax Buydown will be required and a Letter of Compliance shall immediately be issued by the CFD Administrator for all of the building permits currently being requested. If the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 is less than the amount computed pursuant to step 2,then continue to step 4. Step 4.Determine the Maximum Special Tax shortfall by subtracting the total sum computed pursuant to step 1 from the amount computed pursuant to step 2. Divide this Maximum Special Tax shortfall by the amount computed pursuant to step 2. Step 5.The Special Tax Buydown Requirement shall be calculated using the prepayment formula described in Section I.1,with the following exceptions: (i) skip Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, and begin with Paragraph 4; (ii) the Bond Redemption Amount in Paragraph 4 of the prepayment formula described in Section I.1 shall equal the product of the quotient computed pursuant to step 4 above times the Previously Issued Bonds,as defined in Section 1.1;(iii)the Capitalized Interest Credit described in Paragraph I 1 of Section L 1 shall be S0; and(iv)any payments of the Special Tax Buydown(less Administrative Fees and Expenses) shall be disbursed pursuant to the Indenture. The Special Tax Buydown computed under step 5 shall be billed directly to the property owner of each Assessor's Parcel identified in the Request for Letter of Compliance and shall be due within 30 days of the billing date. If the Special Tax Buydown is not paid within 45 days of the billing date,a delinquent penalty of 10 percent shall be added to the Special Tax Buydown. Upon receipt of the Special Tax Buydown payment,the CFD Administrator shall issue a Letter of Compliance and a Certificate of Satisfaction of Special Tax Buydown for the subject property.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX Commencing with Fiscal Year 2005-06 and for each following Fiscal Year,the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the total Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows: First: The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100%of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed,then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property; 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 each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Public Property at up to the Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Public Property; Notwithstanding the above the Council may, in any Fiscal Year, levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Maximum Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the Council is no longer required to levy the Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it will not issue any additional CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax. Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within CFD No. 2004-01.

EXEMPTIONS No Special Tax shall be levied on up to 78.75 Acres of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property. Tax-exempt status will be irrevocably assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessors Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property its tax-exempt status will be revoked. Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the third and fourth steps in Section E above,at up to 100%of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Public Property or Taxable Property Owner Association Property. G. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor's Parcel is in error may submit a written appeal to CFD No. 2004-01. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal and if the CFD Administrator concurs,the amount of the Special Tax levied shall be appropriately modified. The Council may interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals. Any decision of the Council shall be final and binding as to all persons. H. MANNER OF COLLECTION The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2004-01 may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations,and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the Act. I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following definition applies to this Section I: "Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year,all Outstanding Bonds that are deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year. Only an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued,may be prepaid. The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in CFD No. 2004-01 may only be prepaid after all authorized CFD No. City of Rancho Cucamonga(Rancho Etiwanda Estates) August 4,2004 CFD No. 2004-01 Page 10 Resolution No. 04-257 Page 18 of 20 2004-01 Bonds have already been issued,or after the Council has covenanted that it will not issue any additional CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds (except refunding bonds)to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. The obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay any Special Tax may be permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor's Parcel 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 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. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days prior to any redemption date for the CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount(defined below)shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative 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: Paragraph No.: 1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which building permits have already been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid as though it were already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has been issued for that Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the estimated Maximum Special Taxes for CFD No. 2004-01 based on the Developed Property Special Taxes which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development in CFD No.2004-01,excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid; and 4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be retired and prepaid; and City of Rancho Cucamonga(Rancho Etiwanda Estates) August 4,2004 CFD No. 2004-01 Page 11 Resolution No. 04-257 Page 19 of 20 5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium(e.g.,the redemption price—100%),if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 6. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date not covered by the current Fiscal Year Special Taxes until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds.. 7. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year that have not yet been paid. 8. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7. 9. Compute the net present value of the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8, using as a discount rate the rate of return reasonably assumed for the conservative investment of these funds by the CFD Administrator(the "Defeasance Amount"). 10. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No.2004-01 are as calculated by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 11. The reserve fund credit(the"Reserve Fund Credit")shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture),if any,associated with the redemption of Previously Issued 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 Previously Issued 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. No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture). 12. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit'). City of Rancho Cucamonga(Rancho Etiwanda Estates) August 4,2004 CFD No. 2004-01 Page 12 Resolution No. 04-257 Page 20 of 20 13. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4,5,9,and 10,less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 11 and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount"). From the Prepayment Amount,the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 9, 10,11 and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Previously Issued Bonds, as applicable, or make scheduled debt service payments or to pay administrative expenses related to the prepayment of the Special Tax. The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full$5,000 increment of CFD No. 2004-01 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 CFD No.2004-01 Bonds or to make scheduled debt service payments on such bonds. Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined under paragraph 7 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is prepaid in full in accordance with this Section I., 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, at the time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 04-1 (after excluding 78.75 Acres of Public Property and Property Owner Association Property as set forth in Section F) both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Previously Issued Bonds, plus the cost of annual CFD administration. L TERM OF SPECIAL TAX The Special Tax shall be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years commencing with Fiscal Year 2005-06, provided however that Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined(i)that all required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2004-01 Bonds have been paid; and(ii) all Authorized Facilities have been constructed.
