SECTION E BACKUP ANNUAL SPECI~ TAX At the time a Final Map is recorded, the Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified or reasonably expected to be classified as a Single Family Property within such Final Map area shall be determined by (i) summing the product of (a) the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property by (b) the total Acreage of Taxable Property of each Assessor's Parcel in such Final Map area, excluding Acreage classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and any Acreage reasonably expected to be classified as Exempt Property in such Final Map area, and (ii) dividing the results in (i) by the total number of Single Family Units reasonably expected to be constructed within such Final Map area. The resulting quotient shall be the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property within such Final Map area. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in (i) above shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate for the Zone in which each Assessor's Parcel is located; provided, however, if an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Maximum Special Tax rate applied shall be the lower of the two Maximum Special Tax rates. The Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non- Residential Property or Apartment Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in the preceding sentence shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate of the Zone in which. the Assessor's Parcel is located. If an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax rate of each Zone shall be multiplied by the Acreage of the Assessor's Parcel within the applicable Zone and the Backup Annual Special Tax of the Assessors Parcel shall equal the total of the two calculated amounts. If a Final Map includes Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property which are classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property and Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property, then the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel which is classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property shall be computed exclusive of the allocable portion of total Acreage attributable to Assessor's Parcels classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property which are classified or to be classified as either Single Family Property, Apartment Property or Non-Residential Property are subsequently changed of modified by recordation of a lot line adjustment or similar instrument, then the Backup Annual Special Tax shall be recalculated to equal the amount of Backup Annual Special Tax that would have been generated if such change did not take place.

For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax as though is was already designated as Developed Property based upon the building permit issued or expected to be issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel. 2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, divide the Assigned Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount". 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium. " 5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost. 6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance Cost." 10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee." City of Lake Elsinore CFD No. 2003-2 (Canyon Hills) - Improvement Area A C. f L k EI .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than O. 12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 13.

The resulting quotient shall be the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property within such Final Map area. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in (i) above shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate for the Zone in which each Assessor's Parcel is located; provided, however, if an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Maximum Special Tax rate applied shall be the lower of the two Maximum Special Tax rates. - The Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non- Residential Property or Apartment Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in the preceding sentence shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate of the Zone in which the Assessor's Parcel is located. If an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax rate of each Zone shall be multiplied by the Acreage of the Assessor's Parcel within the applicable Zone and the Backup Annual Special Tax of the Assessors Parcel shall equal the total of the two calculated amounts. If a Final Map includes Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property which are classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property and Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property, then the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel which is classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property shall be computed exclusive of the allocable portion of total Acreage attributable to Assessor's Parcels classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property which are classified or to be classified as either Single Family Property, Apartment Property or Non-Residential Property are subsequently changed of modified by recordation of a lot line adjustment or similar instrument, then the Backup Annual Special Tax shall be recalculated to equal the amount of Backup Annual Special Tax that would have been generated if such change did not take place. On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2004, the Backup Annual Special Tax rate shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) ofthe amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year.

Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount". 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium." 5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost. 6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance Cost." 10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee." 11. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, 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 requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than O. 12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 11 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the bond indenture and used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by Improvement Area B.

The resulting quotient shall be the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property within such Final Map area. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in (i) above shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate for the Zone in which each Assessor's Parcel is located; provided, however, if an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Maximum Special Tax rate applied shall be the lower of the two Maximum Special Tax rates. - The Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non- Residential Property or Apartment Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in the preceding sentence shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate of the Zone in which the Assessor's Parcel is located. If an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax rate of each Zone shall be multiplied by the Acreage of the Assessor's Parcel within the applicable Zone and the Backup Annual Special Tax of the Assessors Parcel shall equal the total of the two calculated amounts.

For an Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel. 2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, divide the Assigned Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount". 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium." 5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost. 6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 8. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds. 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance Cost." 10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee." II. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, 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 requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than O. 12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 11 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the bond indenture and used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.

SECTION E BACKUP ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX - At the time a Final Map is recorded, the Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified or reasonably expected to be classified as a Single Family Property within such Final Map area shall be determined by (i) summing the product of (a) the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property by (b) the total Acreage of Taxable Property of each Assessor's Parcel in such Final Map area, excluding Acreage classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property and any Acreage reasonably expected to be classified as Exempt Property in such Final Map area, and (ii) dividing the results in (i) by the total number of Single Family Units reasonably expected to be constructed within such Final Map area. The resulting quotient shall be the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property within such Final Map area. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in (i) above shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate for the Zone in which each Assessor's Parcel is located; provided, however, if an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Maximum Special Tax rate applied shall be the lower of the two Maximum Special Tax rates. The Backup Annual Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non- Residential Property or Apartment Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax rate(s) applied in the preceding sentence shall be the applicable Undeveloped Property rate of the Zone in which the Assessor's Parcel is located. If an Assessor's Parcel is located in two Zones, the Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax rate of each Zone shall be multiplied by the Acreage of the Assessor's Parcel within the applicable Zone and the Backup Annual Special Tax ofthe Assessors Parcel shall equal the total of the two calculated amounts. If a Final Map includes Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property which are classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property and Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property, then the Backup Annual Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel which is classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Single Family Property shall be computed exclusive of the allocable portion oftotal Acreage attributable to Assessor's Parcels classified or reasonably expected to be classified as Non-Residential Property or Apartment Property.

"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible under Improvement Area D. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available to be funded through existing construction or escrow accounts or funded by the Outstanding Bonds, and minus public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment. "Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Taxes which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Maximum Special Taxes. The Special Tax obligation of an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, or an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued or is expected to be issued, or an Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property may be prepaid in full, provided that there are no delinquent Special Taxes, penalties, or interest charges outstanding with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time the Special Tax obligation would be prepaid.

For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property, compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax as though is was already designated as Developed Property based upon the building permit issued or expected to be issued for that Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property compute the Assigned Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel. 2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, divide the Assigned Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph I for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Annual Special Tax applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds. The product shall be the "Bond Redemption Amount". 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Bond Redemption Amount. This product is the "Redemption Premium. " 5. Compute the Future Facilities Cost. 6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5. to determine the Future Facilities Cost to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Prepayment Amount until the earliest call date for the Outstanding Bonds.

Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 8 from the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7. This difference is the "Defeasance Cost." 10. Estimate the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the costs of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption. This amount is the "Administrative Fee." 11. Calculate the "Reserve Fund Credit" as the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the applicable reserve requirements, 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 requirements in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the applicable reserve funds on the prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reserve fund requirement is satisfied by a surety bond or other instrument at the time of the prepayment, then no Reserve Fund Credit shall be given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reserve Fund Credit shall in no event be less than O. 12. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit. 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 9, and 11 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the bond indenture and used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by Improvement Area D. With respect to Special Tax obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the City Council shall indicate in the records of Improvement Area D that there has been a prepayment of the Special Tax obligation and shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act within thirty (30) days of receipt of such prepayment to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay such Special Taxes shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently Outstanding Bonds in each future Fiscal Year.
