B. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX 1. Special Tax A Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall levy the Special Tax A until the total Special Tax A levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities. The Special Tax A shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows: First: The Special Tax A shall be levied on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax A; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property; Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities 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 each such Assessor's Parcel; Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property at up to the Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property. Resolution No. 08-116 Page 9 of 13 Notwithstanding the above the Council may, in any Fiscal Year, levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Special Tax A in step one (above), when (i) the Council is no longer required to levy the Special Tax 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 orthe Council has covenanted that itwill 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 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. 2000-03. C. EXEMPTIONS 1. Special Tax A No Special Tax A shall be levied on up to 21.88 Acres of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property in Zone 1 and up to 38.41 Acres of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property in Zone 2. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessor's 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 A under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax A and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fourth step in Section D.1 above, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Public Property or Taxable Property Owner Association Property. D. 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. 2000-03. 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 Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment 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. Resolution No. 08-116 Page 10 of 13 E. MANNER OF COLLECTION The Special Tax A 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. F. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A "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 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 Resolution No. 08-116 Page 11 of 13 As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows: 1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For Assessor'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 any Assessor'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. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7. 8. 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'). Resolution No. 08-116 Page 12 of 13 9. 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"). 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 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. Resolution No. 08-116 Page 13 of 13 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,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 C) 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. G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX The Special Tax A shall be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years, 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.
