Divide the Maximum Special Tax A derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax A at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax A obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).

9. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.
City of Corona
Community Facilities District No. 2018‐1 (Bedford) IA No. 3 Page 12
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administratorreasonably expectsto derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2018‐1, including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax A obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. 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 Outstanding Bonds as a result of the Prepayment Amount, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the Prepayment Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax A prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debtservice payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax A levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax A levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll.

b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Category in IA No. 3 is greater than 1.85%, the CFD Administratorshall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 3, which revised Assigned Special Tax A shall be the highest amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) that will not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Category to exceed 1.85%.
3. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Backup Special Tax A for all Developed Property within IA No. 3.

Step No.:
1. At least 30 days prior to the expected Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds, but only in the event the Date of Issuance would occur more than one (1) year from the date of the Resolution of Formation establishing IA No. 3 authorizing the issuance of such Bonds, IA No. 3 shall cause a Price Point Study to be delivered to the CFD Administrator. Notwithstanding the above, if a Price Point Study has been prepared within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expected Date of Issuance pursuant to Section H.2. of the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment, then no additional Price Point Study shall be performed and the requirements of Section H.1. of this Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment shall be waived.
2. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Price Point Study, the CFD Administrator shall calculate the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation and Total Effective Tax Rate for each Plan Type in IA No. 3.
3. Separately, for each Land Use Category of for‐sale Residential Property in IA No. 3, the CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category is less than or equal to 1.95%.
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category in IA No. 3 is less than or equal to 1.95%, then there shall be no change in Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 3.
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Category in IA No. 3 is greater than 1.95%, the CFD Administratorshall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 3, which revised Assigned Special Tax A shall be the highest amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) that will not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Category to exceed 1.95%.
4. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Backup Special Tax A for all Developed Property within IA No. 3. The revised Backup Special Tax A per Acre shall be an amount (rounded City of Corona
Community Facilities District No. 2018‐1 (Bedford) IA No. 3 Page 17 to the nearest whole dollar) equal to the Backup Special Tax A per Acre as set forth in Section D.1.c. above, reduced by a percentage equal to the weighted average percentage reduction in the Assigned Special Tax A for all Land Use Categories of Residential Property resulting from the calculations in steps 3.a. and 3.b. above. The weighted average percentage will be calculated by taking the sum of the products of the number of units constructed or expected to be constructed in each Land Use Category multiplied by the percentage change in the Assigned Special Tax A (pursuant to step 3.b. above) for each Land Use Category (or 0 for Land Use Categories that are not changing). This amount is then divided by the total number of units constructed or expected to be constructed within IA No. 3 and converted to a percentage.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administratorshall prepare and execute a Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A to IA No. 3. The Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be completed for all Land Use Categories and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax A for a Land Use Category as calculated pursuant to step 3.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax A as identified in Table 1 Section D for a Land Use Category that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 3.a.; as well as either (i) the revised Backup Special Tax A as calculated pursuant to step 4, or (ii) the Backup Special Tax A as identified in Section D.1.c. that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 4.
6. If the Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds is within 120 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2018‐1 shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A, dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such first series of Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax A for each Land Use Category and the Backup Special Tax A shall be, for all purposes, as set forth in such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A. If the Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds is not within 120 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2018‐1 and shall, as of such date, be void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently a first series of Bonds is expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to the expected Date of Issuance of such first series of Bonds, the CFD Administrator shall cause a new Price Point Study to be delivered to the CFD Administrator and, following such delivery, steps 2 through 5 of this section shall be performed based on such new Price Point Study.
7. As soon as practicable after the execution by CFD No. 2018‐1 of the acknowledgement on the Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A, CFD No. 2018‐1 shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for IA No. 3 reflecting the Assigned Special Tax A and the Backup Special Tax A for IA No. 3 set forth in such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A.
8. If the Assigned Special Tax A is not required to be changed for any Land Use Category based on the calculations performed under step 3 above, there shall be no reduction in the Maximum Special Tax A, and no Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be required.
However the CFD Administrator shall prepare and deliver to CFD No. 2018‐1 a Certificate of No Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “B” hereto dated as of the closing date of the first series of Bonds that states that the calculations required pursuant to this Section H have been made and that no changes to the Maximum Special Tax A are necessary.

Step No.:
City of Corona
Community Facilities District No. 2018‐1 (Bedford) IA No. 4 Page 15
1. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Price Point Study, the CFD Administrator shall calculate the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation and Total Effective Tax Rate for each Plan Type in IA No. 4.
2. Separately, for each Land Use Category of for‐sale Residential Property in IA No. 4, the CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category is less than or equal to 1.85%.
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category in IA No. 4 is less than or equal to 1.85%, then there shall be no change in Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 4.
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Category in IA No. 4 is greater than 1.85%, the CFD Administratorshall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 4, which revised Assigned Special Tax A shall be the highest amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) that will not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Category to exceed 1.85%.
3. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Backup Special Tax A for all Developed Property within IA No. 4. The revised Backup Special Tax A per Acre shall be an amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) equal to the Backup Special Tax A per Acre as set forth in Section D.1.c. above, reduced by a percentage equal to the weighted average percentage reduction in the Assigned Special Tax A for all Land Use Categories of Residential Property resulting from the calculations in steps 2.a. and 2.b. above. The weighted average percentage will be calculated by taking the sum of the products of the number of units constructed or expected to be constructed in each Land Use Category multiplied by the percentage change in the Assigned Special Tax A (pursuant to step 2.b. above) for each Land Use Category (or 0 for Land Use Categories that are not changing). This amount is then divided by the total number of units constructed or expected to be constructed within IA No. 4 and converted to a percentage.
4. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 2.b. above, the CFD Administratorshall prepare and execute a Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A to IA No. 4. The Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be completed for all Land Use Categories and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax A for a Land Use Category as calculated pursuant to step 2.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax A as identified in Table 1 Section D for a Land Use Category that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 2.a.; as well as either (i) the revised Backup Special Tax A as calculated pursuant to step 3, or (ii) the Backup Special Tax A as identified in Section D.1.c. that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 3.
5. As soon as practicable after the execution by CFD No. 2018‐1 of the acknowledgement on the Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A, CFD No. 2018‐1 shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for IA No. 4 reflecting the Assigned Special Tax A and the Backup Special Tax A for IA No. 4 set forth in such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A.
6. If the Assigned Special Tax A is not required to be changed for any Land Use Category City of Corona
Community Facilities District No. 2018‐1 (Bedford) IA No. 4 Page 16 based on the calculations performed under step 2 above, there shall be no reduction in the Maximum Special Tax A, and no Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be required.
However the CFD Administrator shall prepare and deliver to CFD No. 2018‐1 a Certificate of No Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “B” hereto that states that the calculations required pursuant to this Section H have been made and that no changes to the Maximum Special Tax A are necessary.
7. CFD No. 2018‐1 and the CFD Administratorshall take no further actions under this Section H upon the earlier to occur of the following: (i) the execution of the acknowledgement by CFD No. 2018‐1 on a Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A pursuant to step 5; or (ii) the delivery by the CFD Administrator of a Certificate of No Reduction in Special Tax A pursuant to step 6.
2. Prior to the Date of Issuance of the First Series of Bonds Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the following steps shall be taken for each Land Use Category of for‐sale Residential Property in IA No. 4 for evaluating Special Tax A:
Step No.:
1. At least 30 days prior to the expected Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds, but only in the event the Date of Issuance would occur more than one (1) year from the date of the Resolution of Formation establishing IA No. 4 authorizing the issuance of such Bonds, IA No. 4 shall cause a Price Point Study to be delivered to the CFD Administrator. Notwithstanding the above, if a Price Point Study has been prepared within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expected Date of Issuance pursuant to Section H.2. of the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment, then no additional Price Point Study shall be performed and the requirements of Section H.1. of this Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment shall be waived.
2. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Price Point Study, the CFD Administrator shall calculate the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation and Total Effective Tax Rate for each Plan Type in IA No. 4.
3. Separately, for each Land Use Category of for‐sale Residential Property in IA No. 4, the CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category is less than or equal to 1.95%.
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Category in IA No. 4 is less than or equal to 1.95%, then there shall be no change in Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 4.
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Category in IA No. 4 is greater than 1.95%, the CFD Administratorshall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax A for such Land Use Category in IA No. 4, which revised Assigned Special Tax A shall be the highest amount (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) that will not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Category to exceed 1.95%.
4. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Backup Special Tax A for all Developed Property within IA No. 4. The revised Backup Special Tax A per Acre shall be an amount (rounded City of Corona
Community Facilities District No. 2018‐1 (Bedford) IA No. 4 Page 17 to the nearest whole dollar) equal to the Backup Special Tax A per Acre as set forth in Section D.1.c. above, reduced by a percentage equal to the weighted average percentage reduction in the Assigned Special Tax A for all Land Use Categories of Residential Property resulting from the calculations in steps 3.a. and 3.b. above. The weighted average percentage will be calculated by taking the sum of the products of the number of units constructed or expected to be constructed in each Land Use Category multiplied by the percentage change in the Assigned Special Tax A (pursuant to step 3.b. above) for each Land Use Category (or 0 for Land Use Categories that are not changing). This amount is then divided by the total number of units constructed or expected to be constructed within IA No. 4 and converted to a percentage.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax A for any Land Use Category is revised pursuant to step 3.b. above, the CFD Administratorshall prepare and execute a Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A to IA No. 4. The Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be completed for all Land Use Categories and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax A for a Land Use Category as calculated pursuant to step 3.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax A as identified in Table 1 Section D for a Land Use Category that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 3.a.; as well as either (i) the revised Backup Special Tax A as calculated pursuant to step 4, or (ii) the Backup Special Tax A as identified in Section D.1.c. that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 4.
6. If the Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds is within 120 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2018‐1 shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A, dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such first series of Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax A for each Land Use Category and the Backup Special Tax A shall be, for all purposes, as set forth in such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A. If the Date of Issuance of the first series of Bonds is not within 120 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2018‐1 and shall, as of such date, be void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently a first series of Bonds is expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to the expected Date of Issuance of such first series of Bonds, the CFD Administrator shall cause a new Price Point Study to be delivered to the CFD Administrator and, following such delivery, steps 2 through 5 of this section shall be performed based on such new Price Point Study.
7. As soon as practicable after the execution by CFD No. 2018‐1 of the acknowledgement on the Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A, CFD No. 2018‐1 shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for IA No. 4 reflecting the Assigned Special Tax A and the Backup Special Tax A for IA No. 4 set forth in such Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A.
8. If the Assigned Special Tax A is not required to be changed for any Land Use Category based on the calculations performed under step 3 above, there shall be no reduction in the Maximum Special Tax A, and no Certificate of Reduction in Special Tax A shall be required.
However the CFD Administrator shall prepare and deliver to CFD No. 2018‐1 a Certificate of No Reduction in Special Tax A substantially in the form of Exhibit “B” hereto dated as of the closing date of the first series of Bonds that states that the calculations required pursuant to this Section H have been made and that no changes to the Maximum Special Tax A are necessary.
