in such Assessor's Parcel in CFD No. 2000-1 may be fully prepaid and the obligation of"
the leasehold interest in such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently

Special Tax obligation on one or a combination of Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the
Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Following receipt of such notice,
the Administrator shall notify the owner of the leasehold interest in such Assessor's
Parcel or Parcels of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel(s). The
B-5
Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure. 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 Fiscal Agent pursuant
to the Indenture.
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. For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intending to prepay, compute the
Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels.
2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total
Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property in CFD No.
2000-1, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have prepaid their Special Taxes
in full, and
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds as defined in this Section H to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds
to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000
(the Bond Redemption Amount).
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 3 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
(the Redemption Premium).
5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption 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.
6. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current and
any previous Fiscal Year,which have not yet been paid.
7. 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.
B-6
RCS A10 02040-6
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
fluid 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, S, 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.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under Paragraph 6 (above), the 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 that is prepaid, the City 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 pry the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of the Maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within
CFD No. 2000-1 both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
B-7
2. 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= (PH xF)+ 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.
G = the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 6 and 9 of Section H.1.
The owner of the leasehold interest in an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially
prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notify the Administrator of (i) such owner's
intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the
Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if applicable. The Administrator shall provide the owner of
the leasehold interest with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment
of the Maximum Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel following receipt of the request.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, CFD No. 2000-1 shall (i)
distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 13 of Section H.1, and (ii)
indicate in the records of CFD No. 2000-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the
Maximum Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax equal to the
outstanding percentage (1.00—F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax shall continue
to be authorized to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
