*Square footage amounts contained herein are for the purpose of setting
Special Tax A rates and may not conform to the square foot amounts as
shown on a building permit. The square foot amounts contained herein will
govern for purposes of implementing this Rate and Method of Apportionment.
2. Methodology for Allocating Maximum Special Tax A to Successor Parcels
If any Original Parcel reflected in Table 3 above is subsequently changed or modified
by the recordation of a Final Map, lot line adjustment or similar instrument, the total
Maximum Special Tax A for all of the newly created Successor Parcels affected by
such Final Map, lot line adjustment or similar instrument, excluding any Lot
classified as a Remainder Lot, shall be equal to the Maximum Special Tax A of the
Original Parcel(s). Maximum Special Tax for Successor Parcels shall be computed
as follows:
a. Determine the square footage of Floor Area for each Lot and Remainder Lot
located within the Final Map, lot line adjustment or similar instrument that created
the Successor Parcels.
Resolution No. 07-44
Page 16 of 23 City of Tustin April 26, 2007
Community Facilities District No. 07-01 (Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) Page 8
b. Divide the square footage of Floor Area for each newly created Lot by the
aggregate square footage of Floor Area of all Lots of Taxable Property calculated
in paragraph "a," to determine the percentage of the aggregate square footage of
Floor Area to be allocated to each such Lot.
c. Multiply the percentages(s) computed in paragraph "b" by the Maximum Special
Tax A of the Original Parcel to determine the Maximum Special Tax A for each
Lot. The aggregate Special Tax for the Lots will be levied on the corresponding
Assessor's Parcels.
E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
1. Special Tax A
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2007-2008 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council
shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall levy the Special Tax A
until the total Special Tax A levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities. The
Special Tax A shall be Levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for Developed
Property;
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities
after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on
each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum
Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax A levied against any
Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which a certificate of occupancy has been
issued be increased by more than ten percent as a consequence of delinquency or default by
the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within CFD No. 07-01.
2. Special Tax B
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2007-2008 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council
shall levy the Special Tax B until the total Special Tax B levy equals the Special Tax
Requirement for Services. The Special Tax B shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
The Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed
Property within CFD No. 07-01 at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax B for
such parcel.

prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax A associated with such Parcel.
G. EXEMPTIONS
1. Special Tax A

Property.
2. Special Tax B

valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the same procedure, sale
and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the Special Tax maybe
billed directly and/or may be collected at a different time or in a different manner if necessary
or convenient to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 07-01, or as otherwise
determined by the CFD Administrator. The foreclosure remedies provided for in the
Indenture shall apply upon the nonpayment of Special Tax A.
I. REVIEWS AND APPEALS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax levied onhis/her property with the
CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special
Taxes. During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid
on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify
the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator
shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary,
and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the
appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special
Taxes on the appellant's property. No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be
made.
J. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A
1. Prepayment in Full
The obligation of an Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A may be prepaid and
permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only for
Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, or an Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property
Resolution No. 07-44
Page 18 of 23 City of Tustin April 26, 2007
Community Facilities District No. 07-01 (Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) Page 10
for which a building permit has been issued, and 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 A obligation shall provide the CFD
Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such
written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of
such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing
this service. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days prior to the next occurring date
that notice of redemption of Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment maybe given to
the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
The following additional definitions apply to this Section J:
"Buildout" means, for CFD No. 07-01, that all expected building permits have been issued.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year, all Outstanding Bonds that are
deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment
date following the current Fiscal Year.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be
calculated as follows:
Paragraph No:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
2. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, determine the Maximum Special Tax
A. For Assessor's Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has
been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for that Assessor's Parcel as
though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the b gilding
permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Maximum Special Tax A for the entire CFD No. 07-01 based on the
Developed Property Special Tax A which could be levied in the current Fiscal Year
on all expected development through Buildout of CFD No. 07-01, excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
City of Tustin , Resolution No. 07-44
Community Facilities District No. 07-01 (Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) Page 11
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount of Previously
Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the
applicable redemption premiurp (e.g., the redemption price-100%), if any, on the
Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
6. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date not covered by the current Fiscal
Year Special Taxes until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued
Bonds.
7. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year which has not yet been paid.
8. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive
from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and
Expenses (defined below) from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for
the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
9. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8(the "Defeasance Amount").
10. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 07-01 are as calculated by the CFD
Administrator and include 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").
11. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the
prepayment, or(b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as
defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as
a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment
date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve Fund Credit
shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously
Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture).
12. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been
expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal
payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be
calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the
expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after
such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
Resolution No. 07-44
Page 2o of 23 City of Tustin April 26, 2007
Community Facilities District No. 07-01 (Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) Page 12
13. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 4, 5, 9, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 11
and 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 9,11 and
12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used
to retire Previously Issued Bonds or to make scheduled debt service payments or to pay
administrative expenses related to the prepayment of the Special Tax. The amount computed
pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 07-01.
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full $5,000
increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof
will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the
next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as
determined under paragraph 7 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current
Fiscal Year's Special Tax A 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 incompliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the
release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless, at the
time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be
levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 07-01 (after excluding Privately Owned Specific
Retail Property and Public Property that are exempt from the Special Tax as set forth in
Section G.l) both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the
maximum annual debt service on all Previously Issued Bonds, plus the Administrative
Expenses.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax A on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an Assessor's Parcel of
Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid.
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section J.1; except that a partial
prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section J.1
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section J.1
Resolution 07-44
City of Tustin Page 21 of 23
Community Facilities District No. 07-01 (Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) ~. Page 3
F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel
is partially prepaying the Special Tax A
The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax A and the
percentage by which the Special Tax A shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall
provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the
Special Tax A for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a
reasonable fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is
partially prepaid, the Council shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section
J.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 07-O1 that there has been a partial prepayment
of the Special Tax A and that a portion of the Special Tax A with respect to such Assessor's
Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special
Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section E.1.
K. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX B
No prepayment of Special Tax B is allowed for any Assessor's Parcel within CFD No. 07-01.
