The Special Tax for Facilities 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 Tax for Facilities, penalties, or interest charges outstanding
with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time the Special Tax for Facilities obligation would be prepaid.
The Prepayment Amount for an Assessor's Parcel eligible for prepayment shall be determined as
described below.
An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax for Facilities obligation shall provide
the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such notice,
the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount of 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

Prepayment Amount
As of the date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows:
1. 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 Approved Property or Undeveloped Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities and the
Backup Special Tax for Facilities as though it 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 Special Tax for Facilities 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, (a) divide the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities
computed pursuant to paragraph 1 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 1 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 CFD
Administrator.
3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) 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 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."
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 0.
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 2007 -4.
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 of CFD 2007 -4 that there has been a prepayment of the 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 Tax for Facilities shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax for
Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property, net of Administrative Expenses, shall be at least 1.1
B -10
CC Reso. No. 2017 -068
Page 11 of 19
times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal payments on all currently Outstanding Bonds
in each future Fiscal Year.
H. PARTIAL PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
The Special Tax for Facilities 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 and Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property, as calculated in this
Section H below, may be partially prepaid, provided that there are no delinquent Special Tax for Facilities,
penalties, or interest charges outstanding with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time the Special
Tax for Facilities obligation would be prepaid.
The Partial Prepayment Amount shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP= (PG — A)xF +A
The terms above have the following meanings:
-PP= the Partial Prepayment Amount.
PG = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel is partially prepaying the Special Tax for
Facilities obligation.
A = the Administration Fee calculated according to Section G.
The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of
such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax for Facilities and the percentage by which the
Special Tax for Facilities shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement
of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities for an Assessor's Parcel
within 30 days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. With respect to
any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City Council shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it
according to Section G, and (ii) shall indicate in the records of CFD No. 2007 -4 that there has been a partial
prepayment of the 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 partial prepayment of the Special Tax
for Facilities obligation to indicate the partial prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities obligation and
the partial release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay such prepaid portion of the Special Tax for Facilities shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of Special Tax
for Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property after such partial prepayment, 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.
I. TERMINATION OF.SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
The Special Tax for Facilities shall cease not later than the 2057 -2058 Fiscal Year, however, the Special Tax

Page 12 of 19
all required interest and principal payments on Bonds for which the Special Tax for Facilities has been
pledged have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities for CFD No. 2007 -4 have been acquired, (iii) no
delinquent Special Tax for Facilities remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2007 -4 have

that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 14.24 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as Exempt Property if
such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 14.24 Acres. Assessor's
Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the
Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 14.24 Acres will be classified as Provisional Undeveloped
Property, and will be subject to Special Tax for Facilities pursuant to step five in Section F.
K. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
The Special Tax for Facilities shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2007 -4 may collect Special Tax for Facilities 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.
L. APPEALS RELATING TO SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES

changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made (except for the last year of levy),
but an adjustment shall be made to the Special Tax for Facilities on that Assessor's Parcel in the
subsequent Fiscal Year(s).
The City Council may interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment for purposes of clarifying any
