D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
1. Special Tax A
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2005-2006 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council
shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall levy the Special Tax A

after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax A on each
Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property in Zone 1 and Zone 2 whose Maximum Special
Tax A is determined through the application of the Backup Special Tax A shall be increased
in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax A up to the Maximum Special Tax A for

Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property.
Notwithstanding the above the Council may, in any Fiscal Year, levy Proportionately less

longer required to levy the Special "fax A pursuant to steps two through four above in order
to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; and (ii) all authorized Bonds have
already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it will not issue any additional Bonds
(except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax A.
Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax A levied

Resolution No. 05-201
Page 18 of 21
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax A and Special Tax B will be collected in the same manner and at the same
time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2000-03 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.
H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A
The following additional definitions apply to this Section H:
"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 A obligation applicable to
an Assessor's Parcel in CFD No. 2000-03 may only be prepaid after all authorized Bonds
have already been issued, or after the Council has covenanted that it will not issue any
additional Bonds (except refunding bonds)to be supported by the Special Tax A levy under
this Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment. The obligation of the
Assessor's Parcel to pay any Special Tax A 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 A 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 for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator
may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less
than 45 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of Bonds from the
proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
The Special Tax B may not be prepaid.
The Special Tax A 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 Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined
below) shall be calculated as follows:
Resolution No. 05-201
Page 19 of 21
Paragraph No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
2. ForAssessor's Parcels of Developed Property,compute the Assigned Special Tax A
and Backup Special Tax A 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 Assigned Special Tax A and Backup Special Tax A 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. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Assigned Special Tax A for CFD No. 2000-03 based on the Developed
Property Special Tax A which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all
expected development in CFD No. 2000-03, excluding any Assessor's Parcels for
which the Special Tax A has been prepaid, and
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Backup Special Tax A which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year
on all expected development in CFD No. 2000-03,excluding anyAssessor's Parcels
for which the Special Tax A has been prepaid.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be
retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount').
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 Tax A levy until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued
Bonds.
7. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which has 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. 2000-03 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 Bonds, and the
costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the
"Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Resolution No. 05-201
Page 20 of 21
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 forthe
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 larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a)or
3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the
Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment(the"Capitalized Interest
Credit').
13. The Special Tax A 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, 11 and
12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used
to retire Previously Issued Bonds, as applicable, or make scheduled debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 2000-03.
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full$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 scheduled debt service payments on such bonds.
Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as determined
under paragraph 7 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax A levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax A obligation is prepaid in full in accordance with this
Section H,the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act,to
indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such
Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall
cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless,at the time
of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on
Taxable Property within CFD No. 2000-03 (after excluding 21.88 Acres of Public Property and/or
Property Owner Association Property in Zone 1 and 38.41 Acres of Public Property and/or
Property Owner Association Property in Zone 2 as set forth in Section E)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 Administrative Expenses.
Resolution No. 05-201

I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax A shall be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years commencing with
Fiscal Year 2005-2006, provided however that the Special Tax A will cease to be levied in an
earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and
principal payments on the Bonds have been paid. The Special Tax B shall be levied as long
as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Services.
