Step 7: Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount starting with the first Bond interest payment date after which the prepayment has been received until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. However, if Bonds are callable at the first interest payment date after the prepayment has been received, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this prepayment formula will not apply. Step 8: Compute the amount of interest the County reasonably expects to derive from reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. -- Step g: Take the amount computed pursuant to Step 7 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8(the"Defeasance"). Step io: The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 2002-1 are as calculated by the County and include the costs of computation of the prepayment,the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption(the"Administrative Fees and Expenses"). Step 11: A reserve fund credit shall be calculated as the reduction, if any, in the applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment(the"Reserve Fund Credit"). Step 12: The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed Pursuant to Steps 3, 6, 6, g, and io, less the amount computed pursuant to Step 11 (the"Prepayment Amount"). i B-5 EXHIBIT C NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that on September 10, 2002, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa adopted a Resolution entitled"A Resolution of Intention To Establish A Community Facilities District And To Authorize The Levy of Special Taxes Pursuant To The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982".
