S&H Code as to a future Improvement Area or (c) an amendment to the notice of special tax lien
pursuant to Section 3117.5 of the S&H Code as to each future annexation to an existing Improvement
Area of a portion of the Future Annexation Area, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the Special
Tax shall attach to all nonexempt real property within CFD No. 2015-1, and this lien shall continue in
force and effect until the Special Tax obligation with respect to any parcel or all of the nonexempt real
property is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien cancelled in accordance with law or until

the City ceases.

real property presently included in the Future Annexation Area which may be annexed to
Improvement Area No. 1.
c. Similarly, as to Improvement Area Nos. 2 through 5, the applicable RMA will
apply to all nonexempt real property initially included within the corresponding Improvement
Area, together with any real property which may annexed to that Improvement Area.

Section 8. Advances of funds or contributions of work-in-kind from any lawful source,

Future Annexation Area, may be reimbursed from proceeds of sale of the Obligations or proceeds of
the Special Tax or both to the extent of the lesser of the value or cost of the contribution, but any
agreement to do so shall not constitute a debt or liability of the City, any member of the.City Council
or any other officer, employee or agent of the City.
Section 9. It is presently contemplated that all of the capital improvements included within
the Authorized CFD Public Improvements will be constructed by or under contract to Dublin Crossing
Venture LLC (the "Developer") and that, upon completion of construction and the acquisition thereof
as shall be provided by written agreement between the City and the Developer, each such public or
private utility improvement will either be owned, maintained and operated by the City or will be
transferred to the ownership of another public or private utility agency pursuant to the terms and
conditions of a joint community facilities agreement to be entered into between the City and such
other public or private utility agency pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act.
Section 10. The Director of Administrative Services of the City (the "Director of Administrative

regular property tax bill of the County of Alameda (the "County"). However, this City Council reserves
the right, under Section 53340, to utilize any method of collecting the Special Tax which it shall, from
time to time, determine to be in the best interests of the City, including, but not limited to, direct billing
by the City to the property owners and supplemental billing.
Section 13. Subject to the voter approval required by the Act, this City Council hereby
establishes the initial annual appropriations limit for CFD No. 2015-1 at $15 million for Fiscal Year

be annexed into the respective Improvement Areas and (b) how those portions of the territory will be
developed. The estimated allocation is subject to modification by the Administrator (as said term is
defined in the Improvement Area No. 1 RMA) if the territory annexed to any given Improvement Area
is different from the present assumptions or if those portions of the territory are developed differently
than presently assumed, as reflected in Attachment 1 to each of the RMAs; provided that the total
initial appropriations limit for CFD No. 2015-1 for Fiscal Year 2015-16 shall remain at $15 million.

as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed
Property as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-
Residential Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association
Property or Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential
Units shall be determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or
other development plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the
current balance of the Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take
place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement
Area No. 1 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after
which the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax
roll), (ii) because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet
recognize the new Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-
created parcels is in a different Development Class than other parcels created by the
subdivision, the Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property,the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes
in land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a
Parcel of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax
if the Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax
pursuant to Section F below.
B-7
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by
an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses
and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1 if property is
annexed to Improvement Area No. 1. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the
occurrence of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land
Use Changes within Improvement Area No. 1 and compare the revised land uses to the
Expected Land Uses to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall
then be the amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does
not reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage.
Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show
the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount
used to size future bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
B-8
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 1, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine
the number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 1. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in
the prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net
proceeds that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the
Maximum Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public
Facilities Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the
annexation by the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place
prior to the annexation, and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities
Requirement that was in place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAN
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following
steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 1, the Maximum Special Tax shall be
levied on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds
set forth in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not
needed to pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay
Administrative Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized
Facilities.
B-9
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
each Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect
delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds
have been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and
all Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax
on a Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of
delinquency or default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by
more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal
Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
1.91 Acres of Public Property and 13.44 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 1, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 1 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a
Public Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-
Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. 1; therefore, all Non-
B-10
Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 1 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property
for purposes of this RMA.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAN
The following definitions apply to this Section I:
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which arc currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or
already paid by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special
Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that
remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment
shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the
difference shall be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this
prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date
of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21.1 million in 2015 dollars,
escalated two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1
thereafter, or such lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to
fund the Authorized Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus
public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 1
may be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax
obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75
days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt
service coverage below the Required Coverage. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or below):
B-11
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of(i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue
that could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement
Area No. 1, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 1 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or
prior to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been
or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
B-12
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than
or equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
pursuant to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 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 Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 1.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
be recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not
be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full
prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of
Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial
prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial
prepayment is made shall be determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
B-13
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section I.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will
be in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section I.1 shall be deposited into
the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 1.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section I.1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and
the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund established
under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section I.1 shall be multiplied by the
percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the product shall be the
amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this
document that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In
addition, the interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the
City's discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for
purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

such reduction shall be subtracted from the Special Tax Buffer, and the reduced Special Tax
Buffer shall, in the next Fiscal Year and each Fiscal Year thereafter, be escalated by two percent
(2%)of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year.
"Special Tax Requirement" means the amount necessary in any Fiscal Year (i) to pay principal
and interest on Bonds which are due in the calendar year which begins in such Fiscal Year, (ii) to
create and/or replenish reserve funds for the Bonds to the extent such replenishment has not been
included in the computation of Special Tax Requirement in a previous Fiscal Year, (iii) to cure
any delinquencies in the payment of principal or interest on Bonds which have occurred in the
prior Fiscal Year, (iv) to pay Administrative Expenses, and (v) to pay the costs of Authorized
Facilities so long as the direct payment for Authorized Facilities does not increase the Special
Taxes on Undeveloped Property. The Special Tax Requirement may be reduced in any Fiscal
Year by (i) interest earnings on or surplus balances in funds and accounts for the Bonds to the
extent that such earnings or balances are available to apply against debt service pursuant to the
Indenture or other legal document that sets forth these terms, (ii) proceeds from the collection of
penalties associated with delinquent Special Taxes, and (iii) any other revenues available to pay
debt service on the Bonds as determined by the Administrator.
"Square Foot" or "Square Footage" means the square footage of a Residential Unit reflected
on a Building Permit, condominium plan, site plan, or other such document. If the Square
Footage shown on a site plan or condominium plan is inconsistent with the Square Footage
reflected on the Building Permit issued for construction of the Residential Unit, the Square
Footage from the Building Permit shall be used to determine the appropriate Square Footage
Category for the Residential Unit.
"Square Footage Category" means one of the six different categories of Single Family
Detached Property and Multi-Family Property set forth in Section C below.
C-5
"Taxable Homeowners Association Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of
Homeowners Association Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Taxable Non-Residential Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Non-Residential
Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Taxable Property" means all of the Assessor's Parcels within the boundaries of Improvement
Area No. 2 which are not exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to law or Section H below.
"Taxable Public Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Public Property that are not
exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Undeveloped Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Taxable Property that are not
Developed Property.
B. DATA FOR ADMINISTRATION OF SPECIAL TAN
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall (i) categorize each Parcel of Taxable Property as
Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed Property as
Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential Property,
and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or Taxable Public
Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be determined by
referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development plan. In
addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the Special Tax
Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 2 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii) because
of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new Parcels
created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a different
Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator shall
calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 2 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior FiscalYear.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
C-7
umr
$124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. J,AND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 2. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 2 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 2, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 2. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
C-8
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 2, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
C-9
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100%of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on a 11 Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
20.35 Acres of Public Property and 16.97 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 2, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 2 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels arc transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 2; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 2 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAN
The following definitions apply to this Section I:
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
C-10
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $20.8 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 2 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defcasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 2, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 2 based on the
C-11
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid(the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
C-12
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 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 Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 2.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section I.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section I.1 shall be deposited into the
account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of Improvement
Area No. 2.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section 1.1 shall
be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the
product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund established under
the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments.
C-13
. ... . . ... .. . ..
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section I.1 shall be multiplied by the
percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the product shall be the
amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

within the boundaries of Improvement Area No. 3 that are not Single Family Detached Property,
Homeowner Association Property, Multi-Family Property, or Public Property, as definedherein.
"Proportionately" means, for Developed Property, that the ratio of the actual Special Tax levied
in any Fiscal Year to the Maximum Special Tax authorized to be levied in that Fiscal Year is
equal for all Parcels of Developed Property. For Undeveloped Property, "Proportionately" means
that the ratio of the actual Special Tax levied to the Maximum Special Tax authorized to be
levied is equal for all Parcels of Undeveloped Property. For Taxable Non-Residential Property,

Association Property, "Proportionately" means that the ratio of the actual Special Tax levied to
the Maximum Special Tax is equal for all Parcels of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
For Taxable Public Property, "Proportionately" means that the ratio of the actual Special Tax
levied to the Maximum Special Tax is equal for all Parcels of Taxable Public Property.
"Public Property" means any property within the boundaries of Improvement Area No. 3 that is

subtracted from the Maximum Special Tax Revenues in order to size the issuance of Bonds. The
Special Tax Buffer for Fiscal Year 2015-16 is $38,307, which amount shall be (i) escalated
each Fiscal Year by an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year,
(ii) adjusted if there are changes to the Expected Land Uses, as set forth in Sections D and E,
that result in an adjustment to the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues with the adjusted
Special Tax Buffer being equal to 4.0% of the new Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues, and (iii) reduced if and when the Administrator determines that Building Permits
issued within Improvement Area No. 3 will result in more Residential Units within the smaller
Square Footage Categories when compared to the Expected Land Uses. Each time additional
Building Permits are issued, the Administrator shall compare the Building Permits issued to the
Expected Land Uses and determine if there is a reduction in the Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues. Any such reduction shall be subtracted from the Special Tax Buffer, and the
reduced Special Tax Buffer shall, in the next Fiscal Year and each Fiscal Year thereafter, be
escalated by two percent (2%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year.

any delinquencies in the payment of principal or interest on Bonds which have occurred in the
prior Fiscal Year, (iv) to pay Administrative Expenses, and (v) to pay the costs of Authorized
Facilities so long as the direct payment for Authorized Facilities does not increase the Special
Taxes on Undeveloped Property. The Special Tax Requirement may be reduced in any Fiscal
Year by (i) interest earnings on or surplus balances in funds and accounts for the Bonds to
the extent that such earnings or balances are available to apply against debt service pursuant to
the Indenture or other legal document that sets forth these terms, (ii) proceeds from the collection
of penalties associated with delinquent Special Taxes, and (iii) any other revenues available
to pay debt service on the Bonds as determined by the Administrator.
"Square Foot" or "Square Footage" means the square footage of a Residential Unit reflected
on a Building Permit, condominium plan, site plan, or other such document. If the Square
Footage shown on a site plan or condominium plan is inconsistent with the Square Footage
reflected on the Building Permit issued for construction of the Residential Unit, the Square
Footage from the Building Permit shall be used to determine the appropriate Square Footage

B. DATA FOR ADMINISTRATION OF SPECIAL TAN
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall (i) categorize each Parcel of Taxable Property as
Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed Property
as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 3 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM MAXIMIZialcIALIAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 3 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior FiscalYear.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D-7
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. J.AND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 3. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 3 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment l to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 3, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
D-8
Improvement Area No. 3. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 3, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
D-9
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
28.15 Acres of Public Property and 10.81 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 3, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 3 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 3; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 3 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section I:
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
D-10
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $13.4 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 3 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
D-11
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 3, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 3 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step S. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12 The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
D-12
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 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 Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 3.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section I.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not_ including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section I.1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 3.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section I.1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section 1.2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
D-13
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section I.1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 4 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAN
4. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 4 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior FiscalYear.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
5. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
E-7
6. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment I shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 4. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 4 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 4, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
E-8
Improvement Area No. 4. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 4, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
E-9
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.54 Acres of Public Property and 6.49 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 4, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 4 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 4; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 4 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAN
The following definitions apply to this Section I:
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
E-10
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $7.6 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 4 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasancc Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
E-11
No. 4, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 4 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid(the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed(the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment(the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
E-12
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 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 Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 4.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section I.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section I.1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 4.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section I.1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
E-13
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section I.1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed
Property as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-
Residential Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association
Property or Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential
Units shall be determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or
other development plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the
current balance of the Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take
place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement
Area No. 5 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after
which the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll),
(ii) because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the
new Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels
is in a different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the
Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the
parcel map by determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within
each Development Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel
that was subdivided by recordation of the parcel map.
F-6
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 5 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:
TABLE 1
Developed Property
Fiscal Year 2015-16
Maximum Special Taxes *
Maximum
Square Footage Special Tax

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a
Parcel of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax
if the Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant
to Section F below.
F-7
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$118,900 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$118,900 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. JAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 5, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 5 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 5. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence
of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use
Changes within Improvement Area No. 5 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected
Land Uses to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall
then be the amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
F-8
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 5, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine
the number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 5. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that arc annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in
the prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net
proceeds that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the
Maximum Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public
Facilities Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the
annexation, and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities
Requirement that was in place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE_SPECIAL TA)
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following
steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 5, the Maximum Special Tax shall be
levied on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds
set forth in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not
needed to pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay
Administrative Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized
F-9
Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
each Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COL.LE .TION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect
delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on
a Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency
or default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
F-10
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.72 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in Improvement Area No. 5, which acreage
amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of property into Improvement Area No. 5 as set
forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the Administrator to
Homeowners Association Property in chronological order based on the date on which
Parcels are transferred to the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no
Public Property or Non-Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. 5;
therefore, all Public Property and all Non-Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 5
shall be Taxable Public Property and Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this
RMA.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section I:
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or
already paid by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special
Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that
remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment
shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the
difference shall be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this
prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date
of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or
such lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the
Authorized Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus
public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 5
may be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax
F-11
obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75
days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt
service coverage below the Required Coverage. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and
Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of(i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue
that could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement
Area No. 5, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 5 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
F-12
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or
prior to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been
or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than
or equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 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 Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 5.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
be recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not
be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
F-13
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full
prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of
Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial
prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial
prepayment is made shall be determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section I.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special

be in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section I.1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses
of Improvement Arc-a No. 5.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section
1.1 shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section
1.2, and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section I.1 shall be multiplied
by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section I.2, and the product
shall be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
