expenditure to acquire or construct the facilities or pay fees authorized to be funded by CFD No. 2022-1.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs previously paid pursuant to the Funding Agreement to acquire or construct the facilities, (ii) monies currently on deposit in the Construction Fund, and (iii) monies currently on deposit in an escrow or other designated fund that are expected to be available to finance CFD Public Facilities Costs pursuant to the Funding Agreement.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all Previously Issued Bonds, which remain outstanding as of the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with proceeds of prior Special Tax prepayments.
“Previously Issued Bonds” means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of prepayment.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel 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 eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made at least 60 days prior to any redemption date for the CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Prepayment Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Prepayment 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 in Step 14 below) shall be calculated as follows:
Step No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
46708.00811\40062407.2
A-9
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, determine the Maximum Special Tax. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum 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.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total expected Maximum Special Tax revenue for CFD No. 2022- 1 assuming all Building Permits have been issued (build-out) within CFD No. 2022-1, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax Obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid for all applicable parcels and round that amount up to the nearest $5,000 increment (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (expressed as a percentage), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed at the first available call date (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Prepayment Amount”).
8. 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 expected redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds which, depending on the Indenture, may be as early as the next interest payment date.
9. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Prepayment Amount and the Prepayment Administrative Fees from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Subtract the amount computed in paragraph 9 from the amount computed in paragraph 8 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
11. Calculate the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2022-1, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2022-1, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Prepayment Administrative Fees”).
12. 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 calculation 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
46708.00811\40062407.2
A-10
Credit”). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if, after the Prepayment Amount is calculated, reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement.
13. 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 by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
14. The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 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 7 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 2022-1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of CFD No. 2022-1 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 redeem CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax Obligation is prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or 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 6.A.; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
46708.00811\40062407.2
A-11
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section
6.A
F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax Obligation A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) 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 City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2022-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed partial prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for a period not to exceed forty (40) Fiscal Years commencing with Fiscal Year 2022-23, provided however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all Bonds that are expected to be issued have been issued and all required interest and principal payments on all Outstanding Bonds have been paid.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non-Residential Property as determined reasonably by the CFD Administrator, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum
46708.00811\40062407.2
A-12
of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres shall be classified as Provisional Property and will continue to be subject to the CFD No. 2022-1 Special Taxes accordingly. Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to correct the error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still exists, the CFD Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be final.

4. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
For each Fiscal Year, commencing Fiscal Year 2022-23, the CFD Administrator shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step 1: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax; Step 2: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after Step 1 has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Step 3: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, then the Special Tax amount determined in Step 1 shall be increased Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Developed Property; Step 4: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Provisional Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 2022-1 by more than ten percent (10%) above what would have been levied in the absence of such delinquencies or defaults.
5. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Collection of the Annual Special Tax shall be made by the County in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and the Annual Special Tax shall be subject to the same penalties and the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the Council may provide for (i) other means of collecting the Special Tax, including direct billings thereof to the property owners; and (ii) judicial foreclosure of delinquent Annual Special Taxes.
6. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX OBLIGATION
A. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax Obligation by a cash settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344. The following definitions apply to this Section 6:
“CFD Public Facilities Costs” means $3,600,000 or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to acquire or construct the facilities to be financed under the Act and financing program for CFD No. 2022-1, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds (except refunding bonds).
A-8
“Construction Fund” means the fund (regardless of its name) established pursuant to the Indenture to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the facilities or pay fees authorized to be funded by CFD No. 2022-1.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs previously paid pursuant to the Funding Agreement to acquire or construct the facilities, (ii) monies currently on deposit in the Construction Fund, and (iii) monies currently on deposit in an escrow or other designated fund that are expected to be available to finance CFD Public Facilities Costs pursuant to the Funding Agreement.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all Previously Issued Bonds, which remain outstanding as of the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with proceeds of prior Special Tax prepayments.
“Previously Issued Bonds” means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of prepayment.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel 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 eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made at least 60 days prior to any redemption date for the CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Prepayment Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Prepayment 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 in Step 14 below) shall be calculated as follows:
A-9
Step 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. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum 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.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total expected Maximum Special Tax revenue for CFD No. 2022- 1 assuming all Building Permits have been issued (build-out) within CFD No. 2022-1, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax Obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid for all applicable parcels and round that amount up to the nearest $5,000 increment (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (expressed as a percentage), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed at the first available call date (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Prepayment Amount”).
8. 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 expected redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds which, depending on the Indenture, may be as early as the next interest payment date.
9. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Prepayment Amount and the Prepayment Administrative Fees from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Subtract the amount computed in paragraph 9 from the amount computed in paragraph 8 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
11. Calculate the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2022-1, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2022-1, and
A-10
the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Prepayment Administrative Fees”).
12. 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 calculation 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, after the Prepayment Amount is calculated, reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement.
13. 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 by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
14. The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 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 7 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 2022-1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of CFD No. 2022-1 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 redeem CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax Obligation is prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less
A-11
Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or 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 6.A.; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section
6.A
F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax Obligation A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) 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 City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2022-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed partial prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for a period not to exceed forty (40) Fiscal Years commencing with Fiscal Year 2022-23, provided however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an
A-12
earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all Bonds that are expected to be issued have been issued and all required interest and principal payments on all Outstanding Bonds have been paid.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non-Residential Property as determined reasonably by the CFD Administrator, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres shall be classified as Provisional Property and will continue to be subject to the CFD No. 2022-1 Special Taxes accordingly. Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to correct the error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still exists, the CFD
A-13
Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be final.

4. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
For each Fiscal Year, commencing Fiscal Year 2022-23, the CFD Administrator shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step 1: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax; Step 2: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after Step 1 has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Step 3: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, then the Special Tax amount determined in Step 1 shall be increased Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Developed Property;
Step 4: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Provisional Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 2022-1 by more than ten percent (10%) above what would have been levied in the absence of such delinquencies or defaults.
5. COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
Collection of the Annual Special Tax shall be made by the County in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and the Annual Special Tax shall be subject to the same penalties and the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the Council may provide for (i) other means of collecting the Special Tax, including direct billings thereof to the property owners; and (ii) judicial foreclosure of delinquent Annual Special Taxes.
B-8
6. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX OBLIGATION
A. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax Obligation by a cash settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344. The following definitions apply to this Section 6:
“CFD Public Facilities Costs” means $3,600,000 or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to acquire or construct the facilities to be financed under the Act and financing program for CFD No. 2022-1, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds (except refunding bonds).
“Construction Fund” means the fund (regardless of its name) established pursuant to the Indenture to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the facilities or pay fees authorized to be funded by CFD No. 2022-1. “Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs previously paid pursuant to the Funding Agreement to acquire or construct the facilities, (ii) monies currently on deposit in the Construction Fund, and (iii) monies currently on deposit in an escrow or other designated fund that are expected to be available to finance CFD Public Facilities Costs pursuant to the Funding Agreement. “Outstanding Bonds” means all Previously Issued Bonds, which remain outstanding as of the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with proceeds of prior Special Tax prepayments.
“Previously Issued Bonds” means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of prepayment.
The Special Tax Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued may be prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel 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 eligible to prepay the Special Tax Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and designate or identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request, and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made a t least 60 days prior to any redemption date for the CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Prepayment Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
B-9
plus Prepayment 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 in Step 14 below) shall be calculated as follows:
Step 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. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum 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.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total expected Maximum Special Tax revenue for CFD No. 2022 -1 assuming all Building Permits have been issued (build-out) within CFD No. 2022-1, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax Obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid for all applicable parcels and round that amount up to the nearest $5,000 increment (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (expressed as a percentage), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed at the first available call date (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Prepayment Amount”).
8. 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 expected redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds which, depending on the Indenture, may be as early as the next interest payment date.
9. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Prepayment Amount and the Prepayment Administrative Fees from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Subtract the amount computed in paragraph 9 from the amount computed in paragraph 8 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
11. Calculate the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2022-1, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment
B-10
proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2022 -1, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Prepayment Administrative Fees”).
12. 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 calculation 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, after the Prepayment Amount is calculated, reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement.
13. 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 by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
14. The amount to prepay the Special Tax Obligation is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 12 and 13 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 7 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 2022-1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of CFD No. 2022-1 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 redeem CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Special Tax Obligation is prepaid in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
B-11
B. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property or 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 6.A.; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = (PE-A) x F+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section 6.A F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax Obligation
A = the Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section 6.A The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax Obligation, (ii) the percentage by which the Special Tax Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) 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 City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section 6.A., and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2022-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax Obligation and that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Taxes less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed partial prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
7. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for a period not to exceed forty (40) Fiscal Years commencing with Fiscal Year 2022 -23, provided however that the Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all Bonds that are expected to be issued have been issued and all required interest and principal payments on all Outstanding Bonds have been paid.
8. EXEMPTIONS
The CFD Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, or (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, and (v) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property classified as Non-Residential Property as
B-12
determined reasonably by the CFD Administrator, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres. Assessor’s Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property in CFD No. 2022-1 to less than 8.90 Acres shall be classified as Provisional Property and will continue to be subject to the CFD No. 2022-1 Special Taxes accordingly. Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8 above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
9. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. If following such consultation the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred, then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order of priority, in order to correct the error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such error still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the receipt of such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines an error still exists, the CFD Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in order of priority, in order to correct the error.
The City Council or designee thereof shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for purposes of clarifying any ambiguities and make determinations relative to the administration of the Special Tax and any landowner appeals. The decision of the City Council or designee shall be final.

1 FUNDING AGREEMENT
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2022-1
(ENCLAVE AT UPLAND)
OF THE CITY OF UPLAND
This FUNDING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into the 27th day of June 2022 by and among the CITY OF UPLAND, a municipal corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “City”), LEWIS LAND DEVELOPERS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lewis”) and LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Owner”).
R E C I T A L S
A. Owner has purchased from Lewis that certain real property located on approximately 15.56 gross acres of land within San Bernardino County Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 1007-041-05-0-000, 1007-041-06-0-000, 1007-051-02-0-000, 1007-051-03-0-000 and 1007-051- 04-0-000 (the “Property”) located in the City that is planned to be developed by Owner with approximately 192 condominium dwelling units (the “Project”). Lewis is responsible for advancing the costs of forming the District (as defined below), as a cond ition of the sale of the Property.
B. The City is in the process of establishing a community facilities district pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 2.5 (commencing with § 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code, commonly known as the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982” (the “Act”), over and including the Property for the purpose of levying special taxes (the “Special Taxes”) and selling bonds, in one or more series (the “Bonds), in an amount sufficient to finance the design, planning, engineering, installation, and construction of certain public facilities and improvements, to be owned, operated or maintained by the City (the “Public Facilities”) to satisfy the obligation of the Project and the Owner for the payment of certain fees of the City (the “City Fees”). The Public Facilities and City Fees are generally described in Exhibit A attached hereto and are necessary to the development of the Project. Said community facilities district shall be known as “Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Enclave at Upland) of the City of Upland, County of San Bernardino, State of California” (the “District”).
C. Section 53313.5 of the Act provides that a community facilities district may finance the purchase of facilities completed prior to the adoption of the resolution establishing the community facilities district, and may purchase facilities completed after the adoption of the resolution of formation establishing the community facilities district if the facilities have been constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority of, the local agency whose governing body is conducting proceedings for the establishment of the community facilities district.
D. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the levy of Special Taxes and the issuance and sale of the Bonds of the District secured by the Special Taxes to finance the design, planning, engineering, financing, installation, and construction of the Public Facilities and expenses incidental thereto in satisfaction of the City Fees.
46708.00811\35038736.3
2 E. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference herein incorporated.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of District. The City shall initiate proceedings pursuant to the Act for the establishment of the District. Such proceedings include elections pursuant to Sections 53326, 53350 and 53353.5 of the Act on (i) the question of the issuance of the Bonds of the District to finance the design, planning, engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of the Public Facilities, including the direct payment to the City for such Public Facilities, (ii) the question of the annual levy of the Special Taxes on those portions of the Property subject to the Special Taxes to pay directly for the Public Facilities and to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the annual administrative expenses of the City in levying and collecting such Special Taxes, paying the principal and interest on such Bonds and providing for the registration, exchange and transfer of such Bonds, including the fees of fiscal agents and paying agents, and any necessary replenishment of the reserve fund for such Bonds, and (iii) the question of the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District.
From time to time prior to the issuance of the Bonds, at the written request of Lewis and Owner, and subject to Lewis advancing funds as determined by the City as necessary to pay all costs related thereto in accordance with Section 4 below, the City shall use its reasonable best efforts to undertake proceedings which may be deemed necessary to amend the Rate and Method or to amend the boundaries of the District.
Section 2. Payment of City Fees as Deposit. Owner shall timely pay or deposit with the City in full when due all City Fees. Any payment or deposit of City Fees before Special Taxes are received or proceeds of the Bonds become available, including all City Fees paid prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be held on deposit by the City in a separate account used exclusively for City Fees (the “Deposit Account”). Earnings on the investment of funds in the Deposit Account shall be returned to the City. The City may use any City Fees so collected for legally permitted purposes. If the City uses any of the funds in the Deposit Account, Lewis, or Lewis’s designee, shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of Bonds subsequently issued even if such Bonds must be issued on a taxable basis.
Immediately upon the City receiving proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with this Agreement, the City shall disburse to Lewis, or Lewis’s designee, all funds held in the Deposit Account. In addition, prior to the issuance of Bonds, to the extent Special Taxes in the Special Fund are available to be disbursed for Public Facilities in accordance with Section 6(a)(3) below, an equal amount of funds held in the Deposit Account shall be returned to Lewis.
Section 3. Sale of Bonds. Upon Lewis’s written request, the City shall use its reasonable best efforts, as hereinafter provided, to issue and sell Bonds, in one or more series, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Financing District Policy. Each series of Bonds is expected to have a debt service amortization schedule matching the annual Special
46708.00811\35038736.3
3 Taxes available for debt service pursuant to the Rate and Method and for a term of not more than forty (40) years, for the purpose of raising an amount sufficient to pay for the design, planning, engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of the Public Facilities, not to exceed an amount equal to the total City Fees for the Project. In connection with the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the City on behalf of itself and the District shall establish criteria for the issuance of Additional Bonds which meet the criteria of the Financing District Policy. The timing of the issuance and sale of each series of Bonds, the aggregate principal amount thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which they shall be sold shall be as set forth in this Agreement and otherwise as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion after consultation with Lewis. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the timing of the issuance and sale of the first series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds shall be as soon as reasonably practicable, as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion following consultation with its financial advisor, underwriter and other consultants and counsel after written request from Lewis. Owner shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with City in connection with any Bond sale, provided, however, that Owner shall not be required to advance any funds to the City for expenses or otherwise in connection with the issuance of bonds and provided further that Owner shall not be required to provide any credit enhancement (such as a letter of credit) to secure the issuance of Bonds.
Section 4. Advance of Certain Expenses. Lewis has advanced $50,000 (the “Initial Deposit”) to the City for the City’s costs reasonably associated with the establishment of the District (the “Formation Costs”). To the extent the Initial Deposit is insufficient to cover all Formation Costs, the City may require an additional deposit from Lewis by providing a written request with the amount of such additional deposit and an itemization of all remaining, unfunded Formation Costs. Any such additional deposits shall be remitted by Lewis. Such additional deposit, all deposits for Reimbursable Expenses (defined below) and the Initial Deposit shall be referred to, collectively, as the “Deposits.” Upon the formation of the District, the unexpended portion of the Deposits for Formation Costs shall be returned to Lewis. In addition, Lewis shall deposit funds with the City for the City’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with the sale of each series of Bonds, including, but not limited to, (i) the fees and expenses of any consultants and legal counsel to the City employed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, including an engineer, special tax consultant, financial advisor, bond counsel and any other consultant deemed necessary or advisable by the City, (ii) the costs of appraisals, market absorption and feasibility studies and other reports deemed necessary or advisable by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, (iii) the costs of publication of notices and other costs related to any proceeding undertaken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, (iv) reasonable charges for City staff time incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, including a reasonable allocation of City overhead expense, and (v) any and all other actual costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds (“Reimbursable Expenses”). If the Bonds are issued by the District, the City shall reimburse Lewis from proceeds of the Bonds, without interest, for the portion of the Deposits that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement to be made from the proceeds of the Bonds on the date of issuance of the Bonds or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter and only to the extent otherwise permitted under the Act, and refund any unexpended or unencumbered amount of the Deposits. If the Special Taxes are levied and collected, the City may reimburse Lewis from the receipts of Special Taxes (net of amounts required to pay District administrative expenses), without interest, for the portion of the Deposits that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement from receipts of Special
46708.00811\35038736.3
4 Taxes to be made on or before the end of each fiscal year; provided, however, that the City may retain such collected Special Taxes in the amounts that it deems reasonably necessary to facilitate the issuance of the Bonds.
The City shall keep records of all Formation Costs and Reimbursable Expenses advanced by the City pursuant to this Section 4, which records shall be available for inspection by Lewis during regular business hours. The sole source of funds for reimbursement of any advance expenditure made by the City for Formation Costs and Reimbursable Expenses shall be the Deposits, proceeds of the Bonds, or Special Tax receipts.
The Owner shall not be required to make any Deposits for Formation Costs or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; provided however if Lewis does not provide the required Deposits for Formation Costs or other amounts required under this Agreement, the City shall not be required to issue the Bonds.
Section 5. Tax Requirements. The timing of the sale of each series of Bonds, the nature of the investments in which the proceeds of the Bonds shall be invested, the duration of such investments, and the timing of the expenditure of such proceeds shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the applicable fiscal agent agreement (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”); provided, that in all such matters City shall comply with the requirements of and limitations prescribed by the provisions of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and the implementing regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury with respect to all tax exempt Bonds. The City shall not be required to take any such action with respect to all tax exempt Bonds which in the opinion of the City’s bond counsel could result in the Bonds being classified by the United States Department of the Treasury as “arbitrage bonds” or which could otherwise result in the interest on any tax-exempt Bonds being included in gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Should any change in or regulatory interpretation of any such requirement or limitation which may occur after the date of this Agreement require or necessitate, in the reasonable opinion of such bond counsel, any action on the part of the City in order to avoid such a classification or loss of tax exemption, the City shall , notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, forthwith take such action. In the event the City fails to comply with requirements set forth above in this Section 5, the City’s liability is limited to the Special Tax revenues generated by the District.
Section 6. Priority and Allocation of Special Taxes and Bond Proceeds. (a) Special Taxes Prior to the Issuance of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of Bonds, Special Taxes shall be levied on Developed Property pursuant to the Rate and Method in and following the first fiscal year in which an Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Developed Property until the issuance of the final series of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the proceeds of the Special Taxes shall be allocated in the following priority:
(1) first, to pay all reasonable costs of administration of the District;
46708.00811\35038736.3
5 (2) second, to pay eligible costs reasonably determined by the City to be necessary to facilitate the issuance of Bonds within the next six (6) months; and (3) third, the amount remaining after payment of the amounts for (1) and (2) shall be deposited in the Special Fund and disbursed first to reimburse prior Deposits paid by Lewis to City pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, then to fund the Public Facilities. (b) Special Taxes Following the Issuance of Bonds. Following the issuance of the first series of Bonds and continuing until the issuance of the final series of Bonds, the City shall levy Special Taxes on all Assessor’s Parcels classified as Developed Property at the Assigned Special Tax amount pursuant to the Rate and Method or such lesser amount which complies with the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In years in which there is no levy of Special Taxes on Undeveloped Property, the priority for allocation of the Special Taxes collected from Developed Property shall be as follows:
(1) first, to fund an amount up to the annual Administrative Expense Requirement;
(2) second, to pay principal and interest on outstanding Bonds and to replenish the reserve fund to the applicable reserve fund requirement; (3) third, to fund all actual administrative expenses in excess of the Administrative Expense Requirement; and
(4) fourth, all remaining amounts shall reduce special tax levies in subsequent fiscal years.
(c) Bond Proceeds. The proceeds of all Bonds shall be allocated and disbursed according to the following priorities:
(1) first, to fund all costs of issuance of the Bonds including (i) a reserve fund for the Bonds which does not exceed the amount permitted under the Code or the Act, (ii) capitalized interest for the period required to collect sufficient Special Taxes through the annual levy, (iii) the underwriter’s discount, (iv) the Formation Costs and Reimbursable Expenses not funded initially with Deposits, and (v) bond counsel fees, disclosure counsel fees, financial advisor, appraisal and market absorption consultant fees, special tax consultant fees, fiscal agent or trustee fees and other typical and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds;
(2) second, to reimburse, without interest, the portion of all prior Deposits paid by Lewis pursuant to this Agreement that had not been previously returned or reimbursed to Lewis; and
(3) third, to fund the Public Facilities in satisfaction of an amount equal to the total City Fees applicable to the Project for which Special Taxes were insufficient to pay, as may be determined by the City in consultation with Lewis.

46708.00811\35038736.3
7 (6) Continuing Disclosure. Owner agrees to comply with all of its obligations under any continuing disclosure agreement executed by it in connection with the offering and sale of any of the Bonds.

Owner shall provide information to the City regarding its operations and financial condition as such information has been disclosed in the Official Statement. The City, in consultation with the underwriter of the Bonds, may determine that some or all of such financial information will be included in the preliminary official statement and the final official statement for the Bonds. If Owner owns property within the District responsible for more than 20% of the Special Taxes levied in such fiscal year, then Owner shall be deemed a “Major Owner” and agrees to provide all information regarding the planned development of the property within the District which is necessary to ensure that the official statement for each series of Bonds complies with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and all other applicable federal and state securities laws. As a condition to the issuance of each series of Bonds, the Owner further agrees to enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement to provide and file with the Electronic Municipal Market Access maintained by the MSRB certain semi-annual and event disclosure related to the District as and to the extent determined necessary by the District to comply with federal and state securities laws. Copies of all such reports shall also be provided to the City and the underwriter of the Bonds. If Owner sells any portion of property within the District to an entity and such entity will be classified as a Major Developer because it will be responsible for the payment of annual Special Taxes which represent 20% or more of the annual debt service on the Bonds, Owner shall require such entity to enter into a continuing disclosure undertaking as provided in this section. (b) Representations, Covenants and Warranties of Lewis. Lewis represents and warrants for the benefit of the City as follows:

8 Section 11. Special Taxes. The parties are entering into this Agreement and establishing the District for the purpose of creating a stream of Special Tax revenues that will be available to the District to pay directly the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping the Public Facilities and to pay debt service on the Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to p ay the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping of the Public Facilities. Owner and City hereby acknowledge and agree (i) that any reduction or termination of the Special Taxes by exercise of the initiative power or other action would constitute a substantial impairment of the Special Tax revenue stream that Owner and City intend to create for the purpose of providing an assured source of funding for construction, acquisition and/or equipping of the Public Facilities, and (ii) that this Agreement is being entered into, and the Special Taxes are being imposed upon the Property pursuant to the Rate and Method, in accordance with existing laws relating to the imposition of fees and charges as a condition of development of the Property and such Speci al Taxes are being incurred as an incident of the voluntary act of development of the Property. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner hereby waives any right to exercise the initiative power that may be authorized in California Constitution Article XIIIC, Section 3, to reduce or appeal the Special Taxes. The foregoing covenant shall not prevent the Owner in any way from (a) bringing an action or suit contending that the Special Tax has not been levied in accordance with the methodologies contained in the Rate and Method, (b) bringing an action or suit with respect to the application or use of the Special Tax levied and collected or (c) bringing an action or suit to enforce the obligations of the City and/or the District under any agreements among the Owner, the City and/or the District or to which the Owner is a party or beneficiary.
Section 12. Disclosure of Special Taxes.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, Owner shall provide a “Notice of Special Tax” (as defined in Section 12(b) below) to each prospective purchaser of a home in the District prior to the execution by the home buyer of the sale contract for such home. Owner shall (i) maintain records of each Notice of Special Tax for a period of five (5) years, and (ii) shall provide copies of each notice to City promptly following the giving of such notice.

(b) With respect to any parcel, the term “Notice of Special Tax” means a notice in the form prescribed by California Government Code Section 53341.5 which is calculated to disclose to the purchaser thereof (i) that the property being purchased is subject to the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District; (ii) the classification of such property; (iii) the maximum annual amount of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District and the number of years for which they are authorized to be levied; and (iv) the types of facilities and services to be paid with the proceeds of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District.

9 (c) City will file with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s office a notice of special tax lien that gives notice of the existence of the District and the levy of the Special Tax on property within the District for the benefit of subsequent property owners, pursuant to requirements of Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code. (d) Sample Property Tax Bill/Special Tax Information Sheet. Owner and its successors and assigns shall prepare and have available in its sales office, copies of either a sample property tax bill in a form reasonably acceptable for the City or special tax information sheet in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Special Tax Information Sheet”), which shows the assigned annual Special Taxes and other special taxes authorized to be levied within the District under the Rate and Method. Owner and its successors and assigns shall make available to prospective homebuyers to take with them, copies of such sample property tax bill or Special Tax Information Sheet at the time written information regarding the base home price and property tax information for a specific home site is requested by and provided to such homebuyers. Owner intends to comply with this requirement by providing prospective homebuyers who request such additional written information, with the sample property tax bill in Owner’s Master Property Disclosure Report, a copy of which has been presented to and approved by the City.
Section 13. Binding on Community Facilities District. The District shall automatically become a party to this Agreement, and all provisions hereof which apply to the City shall also apply to the District.

Section 15. Prompt Action. All consents, approvals and determinations required of any of the City, Lewis or Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be promptly given or made, and shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
Section 16. General. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters herein provided for. This Agreement may only be amended by a subsequent written agreement signed on behalf of all parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the Constitution and laws of the State of California. Should any party to this Agreement commence a court action or proceeding against the other party with respect to this Agreement, the party(ies) prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the losing party its attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other costs incurred by it in prosecuting or defending such action or proceeding. The captions of the sections of this Agreement are provided for convenience only, and shall not have any bearing on the interpretation of any section hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original of the same agreement.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
UPLAND, CALIFORNIA , ADOPTING A REVISED SCHEDULE OF
THE REGIONAL “PASS-THROUGH” SEWERAGE TREATMENT
RATE AND A REVISED SCHEDULE OF THE CITY SEWER
MAINTENANCE FEE
WHEREAS, the City of Upland is a party to the Regional Sewerage Service Contract, whereby the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) provides sewage treatment and disposal services for the City, as well as other contracting agencies, and
WHEREAS, the City provides sewage disposal services to its users by operating and maintaining the City’s sanitary sewer system, which collects and conveys sewage to IEUA for sewage treatment and disposal; and
WHEREAS, on May 18, 2002, the IEUA Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2022-5-3, increasing its service rate for the operation and maintenance of the regional sewerage system and the treatment of sewerage, commonly known as the regional “pass-through” sewerage treatment rate, applicable to the contracting agencies, including the City; and
WHEREAS, the total monthly sewer service fee, as defined in Section 13.32.080 (B) of the Upland Municipal Code, is the sum of the IEUA treatment and disposal charge and the City sewer maintenance charge (collectively “Sewer Service Fee”); and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 53756 provides automatic adjustments for pass-through increases; and
WHEREAS, to sustain the City’s sewer maintenance service requirements, with adequate operating reserve and capital for system rehabilitation required to provide continued safe and reliable sewage disposal service, the City determined the current costs exceed the amount collected from consumers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that, in accordance with the determination, the schedule for rates on the City sewer maintenance service fee and the IEUA Pass-Through sewer fees should be revised to reflect the estimated reasonable cost; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.32.060 of the Upland Municipal Code, the City Council, by a two thirds vote, has the power to revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rental or other charges for services and facilities furnished by it, either within or without its territorial limits, in connection with the sanitary sewage system; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 6 of the California Constitution, forty-five (45) days prior to the public hearing, on or about May 13, 2022, notices of the public hearing were mailed to property owners and tenants; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing conducted on June 27, 2022, the City Council received written and oral testimony regarding the regional “pass-through” sewerage treatment rate; and
Resolution No.
WHEREAS, on the basis of the evidence presented during the public hearing, the City Council has determined that the schedule for the IEUA regional “pass-through” sewerage treatment rate, and the City sewer maintenance service fee shall be adjusted as set forth below; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Upland hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Section 1. All of the facts set forth in the recitals part of the Resolution, are true and correct.
Section 2. Users of the City’s sewer service are charged based on the number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), as defined in Section 13.32.080 (A) of the Upland Municipal Code.
Section 3. The total monthly sewer service fee for use of the City’s sewer service shall be the sum of the treatment and disposal charge, which is paid to IEUA as a pass- through charge, and the City sewer maintenance service fee or charge.
Section 4. Effective July 1, 2022, the IEUA regional “pass-through” sewerage treatment rate, per EDU per month, shall be set as follows:
Fiscal Year Effective Date Treatment Rate
FY 22-23 July 1, 2022 $21.86
(*) Per month per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) or Single-Family Home
Section 5. Effective July 1, 2022, the City Sewer Maintenance Charge, as specified in Section 13.32.080 (B) of the Upland Municipal Code, shall be superseded as follows:
Fiscal Year Effective Date Charge/Fee, per EDU

FY 22-23 July 1, 2022 $10.85
(*) Per month per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) or Single-Family Home
Section 6. The charges or fees set forth above will remain in effect until amended by subsequent resolution(s) of the City Council.

The City Council expressively finds based on the evidence before it that the increase is for the purposes of:
a. Meeting the operating expenses, including employee wage rates; b. Purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials;
c. Obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service; and d. Meeting the financial reserves.
Section 8. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
UPLAND, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDED AND
RESTATED AGREEMENT FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION,
PROCESSING AND DISPOSAL SERVICES WITH BURRTEC
WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND ADOPTING RATES FOR
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES RATES
WHEREAS, on November 27, 2000, the City of Upland (the “City”) and Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) entered into an Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services; and
WHEREAS, on January 8, 2004, the City and Burrtec entered into Addendum No. 1 to the Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services; and WHEREAS, on May 29, 2007, the City and Burrtec entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services; and WHEREAS, on May 27, 2014, the City and Burrtec entered into the Third Amendment to the Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services; and WHEREAS, since the approval of the original agreement and its amendments, California law changed to now require the City to implement additional solid waste diversion programs that were not included as part of the original agreement or amendments thereto; and
WHEREAS, as a result of regulations implementing Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Senate Bill 1383 (Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP): Organic Waste Methane Emissions Reductions) that took effect January 1, 2022, organic waste can no longer be able to be disposed of in the landfill and organic waste collection services must be provided to all residents and businesses; and
WHEREAS, to comply with these the SB 1383 requirements, the City negotiated with Burrtec to provide the necessary services; and WHEREAS, the City and Burrtec have negotiated an Amended and Restated Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services (“Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to approve the Agreement; and WHEREAS, the rate structure for the monthly solid waste service fees has two customer classes: (i) residential, and (ii) non-residential; and
Resolution No.
2 WHEREAS, the rate structure for refuse, recycling and organics collection is based on the container size, type of service, and frequency of collection; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is necessary to impose new, increased or modified rates for its solid waste service charges (collectively herein, the “Charges”); and
WHEREAS, the revenues derived from the Charges will not exceed the funds required to provide the solid waste services and shall be used exclusively for the provision of solid waste collection services; and
WHEREAS, the amount of the Charges will not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel upon which they are proposed for imposition; and
WHEREAS, the Charges will not be imposed on a parcel unless the solid waste services are actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the parcel; and
WHEREAS, California Constitution article XIII D, section 6 (“Article XIII D”) requires that prior to imposing any increase to the Charges, the City shall provide written notice (the “Notice”) by mail of the proposed increases to the rates for the Charges to the record owner of each parcel upon which the rate increases to the Charges are proposed for imposition and any tenant directly liable for payment of such Charges (collectively herein referred to as “customers”), the amount of the rates for the Charges proposed to be imposed on each parcel, the basis upon which the rates for the Charges were calculated, the reason for the rate increases to the Charges, and the date time and location of a public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the proposed rate increases to the Charges; and
WHEREAS, such Notice was provided to the affected property owners and tenants not less than 45 days prior to the Hearing on the proposed rate increases; and
WHEREAS, the Hearing was held on this day, June 27, 2022; and WHEREAS, at the Hearing the City Council heard all oral testimony, and considered all written materials and written protests concerning the establishment and imposition of the proposed rate increases to the Charges, and at the close of the Hearing the City did not receive written protests against the establishment and imposition of the proposed rate increases to the Charges from a majority of the record owners or property upon which the Charges are proposed for imposition or any tenants directly liable for the payment of the Charges (i.e., a customer of record who is not a property owner); and
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to establish and impose the proposed Charges.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Upland hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Resolution No.
3 Section 1. The above recitals are all true and correct and are incorporated herein.
Section 2. The City Council hereby approves the Amended and Restated Agreement Between the City of Upland with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. for Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 3. The City Council hereby adopts the Charges for solid waste collection services at the maximum rates, effective July 1, 2022, as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, and annually thereafter on July 1 through and including July 1, 2026, the maximum rates provided in Exhibit B shall be automatically adjusted based upon the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA Metropolitan Area, as determined by the United States Department of Labor Statistics. However, the service component and program cost component, and disposal fee component, are each capped by a 4% maximum rate adjustment each year.
Section 5. To the extent any Charges established by this Resolution are inconsistent with any Charges previously adopted by the City Council, it is the explicit intention of the City Council that the Charges adopted pursuant to this Resolution shall prevail.
Section 6. The City Council hereby finds that the administration, operation, maintenance, and improvements of the solid waste collection system, which are to be funded by the Charges, are necessary to maintain solid waste services within the City’s existing service area. The City Council further finds that such Charges are necessary and reasonable to fund the administration, operation, maintenance, and improvements of the solid waste collection system. Based on these findings, the City Council hereby determines that this Resolution is statutorily exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15273(a). The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings have been based are located at 460 N. Euclid Avenue, Upland, California 91786. The custodian for these records is the City Clerk of the City.
Section 7. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 8. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
