NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Temecula Public Financing Authority as follows: Section 1. This Board of Directors proposes to begin the proceedings necessary to establish the District pursuant to the Law. Receipt of the three Petitions to form the District is hereby acknowledged.

The proposed boundaries of the District are as shown on the map of the District on file with the Secretary, which boundaries are hereby preliminarily approved. The Secretary is hereby directed to record, or cause to be recorded, the map of the boundaries of the District in the office of the County Recorder as soon as practicable after the adoption of this Resolution.

Section 5. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the District to pay for the Facilities and the elimination of the Prior Lien and/or pay the principal and interest as it becomes due on bonds of the District issued to finance the Facilities and to eliminate the Prior Lien, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs thereof, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the District, will be levied within the District and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as this Board of Directors or its designee shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners.

Section 7. This Board of Directors reserves to itself the right and authority to allow any interested owner of property in the District, subject to the provisions of Section 53344.1 of the California Government Code and such requirements as it may otherwise impose, and any applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the indenture or fiscal agent agreement for any bonds of the Authority for the District, to tender to the Treasurer of the Authority in full payment or part payment of any installment of special taxes or the interest or penalties thereon which may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or other obligation secured thereby, in the manner described in Section 53344.1 of the California Government Code. Section 8. The levy of said proposed special tax shall be subject to the approval of the qualified electors of the District at a special election.

PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following definitions apply to this Section H: "CFD Public Facilities means $16,500,000 expressed in 2002 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2003, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized bonding program of the CFD, or (ii) shall be determined by the Board of Directors concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment. "Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold funds that are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible under the Act. "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 CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering New-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. "Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available to be funded through existing construction escrow accounts or funded by the Bonds, and minus 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 Bonds secured by the levy of Special Taxes, which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with thc proceeds of prior prepayments of Maximum Special Taxes. 1. Prepayment in Full The Maximum Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently satisfied by a Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued, or Public Property and/or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to Section E. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to such Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of the Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to the Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 10 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 proper prepayment amount. Within 5 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Temecula Public Financing Authority 9 Community Facilities District No. 03-1 (Crowne Hill) Prepayment Amount of such Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to any redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below): Bond Redemption Amount plus plus plus plus less Total: equals Redemption Premium Future Facilities Amount Defeasance Amount Administrative Fees and Expenses Reserve Fund Credit Prepayment Amount As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No.: For Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel to be prepaid. For Parcels of Approved Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for that Parcel as though it was akeady designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit, which has already been issued for that Parcel. For Parcels of Public Property and/or Property Owner's Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for that Parcel. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the total estimated Maximum Special Taxes based on the Developed Property Special Tax which could be charged on all expected development, less any Parcels which have been prepaid. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount"). Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium '9. 5. Compute the Future Facilities Costs. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount'9 Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. Tcmecula Public Financing Authority 10 Community Facilities District No. 03-1 (Crowne Hill) 8. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid. 9. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive 15om the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount less the Future Facilities Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 10. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 9 (the "Defeasance Amount"). 11. Verify the administrative fees and expenses, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses"). 12. 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. 13. The Maximum Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 6, 10 and 11, less the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 (the "Prepayment Amount"). 14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 10 and 12 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 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by the CFD. The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a ss,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments. As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined under paragraph 8 (above), the CFI) Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for such Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Parcel that is prepaid, the Board of Directom shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Parcel, and the obligation of such Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property after the Temecula Public Financing Authority 11 Community Facilities District No. 03-1 (Crowne Hill) proposed prepayment is at least 1.10 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on a Parcel of Developed Property or a Parcel of Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid in increments of $5,000. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.I., except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP = ((Ps -A)x F)+A These terms have the following meaning: PP = the partial prepayment PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H. 1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1 An owner of a Parcel intending to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if applicable, and within 10 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 proper amount of a partial prepayment. Within 5 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the partial Prepayment Amount of such Parcel. Partial prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to any redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. With respect to any Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 14 of Section H.I., and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Parcel pursuant to Section D. I. TERM OF THE SPECIAL TAX For each year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Parcels subject to the Special Tax. If any delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected prior to or after all Bonds are retired, the Special Tax may be levied to the extent necessary to reimburse the CFD for uncollected Special Taxes associated with the levy of such Special Taxes, but not later than the 2043-2044 Fiscal Year.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Temecula Public Financing Authority as follows: Section 1. This Board of Directors proposes to begin the proceedings necessary to establish the District pursuant to the Law. Receipt of the three Petitions to form the District is hereby acknowledged. Section 2. The name proposed for the District is Temecula Public Financing Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-1 (Crowne Hill). Section 3. The proposed boundaries of the District are as shown on the map of the District on file with the Secretary, which boundaries are hereby preliminarily approved. The Secretary is hereby directed to record, or cause to be recorded, the map C-1 of the boundaries of the District in the office of the County Recorder as soon as practicable after the adoption of this Resolution. Section 4. The type of public facilities (the "Facilities") proposed to be eligible for funding by the District and pursuant to the Law, and the fixed special assessment lien to be eliminated in whole or in part by payments from the District and pursuant to the Law, shall consist of those items described on Exhibit A hereto under the heading "Facilities" and "Prior Lien," respectively, which Exhibit is by this reference incorporated herein. The Executive Director is hereby authorized and directed to enter into a joint community facilities agreement with the City of Temecula, the Rancho California Water District, the Eastern Municipal Water District, the California Department of Transportation and any other public entity that will own and/or operate any of the Facilities, such agreements to be in a form provided by Bond Counsel. Section 5. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the District to pay for the Facilities and the elimination of the Prior Lien and/or pay the principal and interest as it becomes due on bonds of the District issued to finance the Facilities and to eliminate the Prior Lien, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs thereof, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the District, will be levied within the District and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as this Board of Directors or its designee shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners.

Section 6. It is the intention of this Board of Directors, acting as the legislative body for the District, to cause bonds of the Authority to be issued for the District pursuant to the Law to finance the costs of the Facilities and to finance the elimination of the Prior Lien. If so issued, the bonds shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $25,000,000, shall bear interest payable semi-annually or in such other manner as this Board of Directors shall determine, at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate of interest as may be authorized by applicable law at the time of sale of such bonds, and shall mature not to exceed 40 years from the date of the issuance thereof. Section 7. This Board of Directors reserves to itself the right and authority to allow any interested owner of property in the District, subject to the provisions of Section 53344.1 of the California Government Code and such requirements as it may otherwise impose, and any applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the indenture or fiscal agent agreement for any bonds of the Authority for the District, to tender to the Treasurer of the Authority in full payment or part payment of any installment of special taxes or the C-2 interest or penalties thereon which may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or other obligation secured thereby, in the manner described in Section 53344.1 of the California Government Code.
