For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax applicable for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel. 2. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the estimated Assigned Special Taxes for the entire CFD No. 99-1 based on the Developed Property Special Taxes which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development through buildout of CFD No. 99-1, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid, and (b) Divide the Backup Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 for such Assessor's Parcel by the estimated Backup Special Taxes for the entire CFD No. 99-1 excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid. 3. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). 4. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs 5. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 4 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount"). 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium"). 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. 8. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid. 10. Compute the minimum amount the Finance Director expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 9 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10. City of Santa Clarita September 14, 1999 CFD No. 99-1 (Santa Clarita Business Park) Page 8 12. Compute the net present value of the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11, using as a discount rate the rate of return assumed by the Finance Director in paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 13. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 99-1, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 14. If reserve funds for the Outstanding Bonds, if any, are at or above 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) on the prepayment date, 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'). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement. 15. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the capitalized interest fund, for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit"). 16. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 5, 6, 12 and 13, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 14 and 15 (the "Prepayment Amount"). From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15 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 paragraph 13 shall be retained by CFD No. 99-1. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined under paragraph 9 (above), the Finance Director shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Assigned Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 99-1 both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
