The Prepayment Amount for an Assessor's Parcel eligible for prepayment shall be determined as described below. An owner of an Assessor's Pazcel intending to prepay the Special Tax for Facilities obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.

For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Properiy, compute the Assigned Special TaY for Facilities and the Backup Special Tax for Facilities as though it was already designated as Developed Properiy based upon the building permit issued or expected to be issued for that Assessor's Parcel.

The product shall be the "Bond Redemption AmounY'. 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 deternuned pursuant to pazagraph 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 Redempflon 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 T~ 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 eamings to be derived from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium until the eazliest 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 administrafive 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 City of Lake Elsinore 5/30<2006 Community Facilities District No. 20064 (Tracts 30698 & 32129) Page 10 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 pazagraph 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.
