For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities and Backup Special Tax for Facilities, if any, applicable to the Assessor's Parcel.

For an Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property compute the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities for that Assessor's Parcel. City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2006-3 (La Strada) May 25, 2006 Page 9 2. For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, (a) divide the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph I for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Assigned Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City, and (b) divide the Backup Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph I for such Assessor's Parcel by the sum of the estimated Backup Special Tax for Facilities applicable to all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property at buildout, as reasonably determined by the City. 3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the Outstanding Bonds. The produ,ct 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 larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) 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 redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. 8. Determine the actual Special Tax for Facilities levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid. 9. Estimate the amount of interest earnings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. 10. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraph 7 and 8 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 9. This difference is the "Defeasance Cost." 11. 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 Community Facilities District No. 2006-3 (La Strada) May 25, 2006 Page lO 12. 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. 13. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2( a) or 2(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment. This amount is the "Capitalized Interest Credit." 14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Cost, and the Administrative Fee, less the Reserve Fund Credit and the Capitalized Interest Credit. 15. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 10, 12, and 13 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the 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 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 2006-3. The Special Tax for Facilities 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 debt service payments. With respect to a Special Tax for Facilities obligation that is prepaid pursuant to this Section G, the City Council shall indicate in the records ofCFD No. 2006-3 that there has been a prepayment ofthe Special Tax for Facilities 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 for Facilities obligation and the release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay such Special Taxes for Facilities shall cease.
