The Special Tax is apportioned to each parcel pursuant to the rate and method of apportionment of special tax and pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act and such special tax is not on or based upon the value or ownership of real property.

Multiple Land Use Categories In some instances an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Category. The Maximum Special Tax levied on an Assessor's Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum Special Tax for all Land Use Categories located on the Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator's allocation to each type of property shall be final. c. Backup Special Tax When a Final Map is recorded, the Administrator shall determine which Tax Zone the Final Map area lies within and the Backup Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within the Final Map classified or to be classified as Single Family Property shall calculated according to the following formula. B=(UxA)/L The terms above have the following meanings: B = Backup Special Tax per Assessor's Parcel within the Final Map U = Maximum Special Tax per Acre of Undeveloped Property per Section D.3 below C-7 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 A = Acreage of Single Family Residential Property expected to exist in such Final Map at the time of calculation, as determined by the Administrator L = Number of Residential Units expected to exist in such Final Map at the time of calculation, as determined by the Administrator. In the event any portion of the Final Map is changed or modified, the Backup Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels within such changed or modified area shall be determined by Table 3 below: TABLE 3 MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX PER ACRE (FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024) Maximum Special Tax Zone Tax per Acre 1 $35.565 2 $25,600 In the event any superseding Final Map is recorded as a Final Map within the boundaries of the CFD, the Backup Special Tax for all Assessor's Parcels within such Final Map shall be on the rate per Acre shown in the table above. The Backup Special Tax shall not apply to Multifamily Residential Property or Non -Residential Property. On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2024, the Backup Special Tax rate shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year. Approved Property The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property expected to be classified as Single Family Property shall be the Backup Special Tax computed pursuant to Section D.1.c above. The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property expected to be classified as Multifamily Residential Property or Non -Residential Property shall be $35,565 per Acre for Tax Zone 1 and $25,600 per Acre for Tax Zone 2. On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2024, the Maximum Special Tax rate for Approved Property shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year. 3. Undeveloped Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to the provisions of Section F The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property that is not Exempt Property shall be equal to the product of $35,565 per Acre for Tax Zone 1 and $25,600 per Acre for Tax Zone 2, in each case multiplied by the Acreage of such Assessor's Parcel. C-8 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2024, the Maximum Special Tax rate for Undeveloped Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year. E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX Commencing Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall levy Special Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps: Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rate to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement. Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor's Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement. Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have 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 applicable to each such Assessor's Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement. Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax levy on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement. Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor's Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement. Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor's Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default. F. EXEMPTIONS The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the following order of priority, (i) Assessor's Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments, including school districts, (ii) 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, (iii) Assessor's Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by a homeowners' C-9 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 association, (iv) Assessor's Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, (v) Assessor's Parcels which are privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted solely for public uses, or (vi) Assessor's Parcels restricted to other types of public uses determined by the City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the total Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than the amounts shown in Table 4 below. TABLE 4 MINIMUM TAXABLE ACRES Tax Zone Acres 1 7.26 2 28.52 Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor's Parcel as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the total Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than the Acres shown in Table 4 per Tax Zone. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than the Acres shown in Table 4 per Tax Zone will be classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to Step Five in Section E. G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following additional definitions apply to this Section G "CFD Public Facilities" means $19,500,000 expressed in 2023 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2024, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount (i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 2023-1, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more CFD No. 2023-1 Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. "Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible to be financed by CFD No. 2023-1. "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News - Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News -Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) public facility costs previously funded from the Construction Fund, (ii) public facility costs available to be funded through existing construction or escrow accounts funded by the Outstanding Bonds, and minus (iii) public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment. "Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued CFD No. 2023-1 Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal C-10 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding CFD No. 2023-1 Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Special Tax. Prepayment in Full The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor's Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued and (iv) Assessor's Parcels of Public Property or Property Owner's Association Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property that are not Exempt Property pursuant to Section F. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel may be fully 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 only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Assessor's Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor's Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus Redemption Premium plus Future Facilities Amount plus Defeasance Amount plus Administrative Fees and Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit Equals: Prepayment Amount The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows: Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel. 2. For an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor's Parcel. For an Assessor's Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor's Parcel. 3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor's C-11 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor's Parcels for which the Special Tax 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"). 8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Outstanding Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments. 9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid. 10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to 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 the CFD, 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 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, 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 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 C-12 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 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 CFD No. 2023-1. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Outstanding Bonds. 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 prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for the Assessor's Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcel shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied each Fiscal Year on all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times annual debt service for such Fiscal Year on the Outstanding Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses. Tenders of Outstanding Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case -by -case basis as specifically approved by the City Council. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula: PP = ((PE— A) x F) + A These terms have the following meaning. PP = Partial Prepayment Amount PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section GA The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor's Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover C-13 4877-9674-9641v4/200299-0015 the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor's Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment for the Assessor's Parcel and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax obligation will continue to be levied on the Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section E. H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX For each Fiscal Year that any CFD No. 2023-1 Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor's Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2065-2066 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2023-1 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2023-1 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2023-1 have been satisfied. MANNER OF COLLECTION The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2023-1 may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the Act. J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor's Parcel(s) with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant's Assessor's Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made. The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.
