Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 8. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 5 and 6 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 7(the Defeasance Amount). 9. Determine the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2000-1, including 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). 10. Determine the reserve fund credit(the Reserve Fund Credit)which 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 Outstanding 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 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. 11. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year,a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the Capitalized Interest Credit). 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 8 and 9, less the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 10 and 11 (the Prepayment Amount). 13. From the Prepayment Amount,the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3,4, 8, 10 and 11 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 Paragraph 9 shall be retained by the Administrator.

Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property 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: PP= (PHxF) + G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 6 and 9 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of the leasehold interest in the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax.
