Section 15, in the Acquisition Price, by which they will be reimbursed to SCOA in accordance <br />with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. <br />(d) Special Tax. The CFD shall be authorized to levy, and Owners, as the qualified <br />landowner electors of the CFD, shall approve two special taxes (collectively, the "Special Tax") <br />in accordance with the approval of the RMA as a part of the CFD Formation Proceedings; the <br />first Special Tax, a "Facilities Special Tax," will finance the Acquisition Price as adjusted by <br />the Initial Acquisition Price Payment (as those terms are defined herein and in the Purchase <br />Contract) for the Levee Improvements, which Acquisition Price shall include the CFD Advanced <br />Costs; and the second Special Tax, a "Services Special Tax," will finance the ongoing operation <br />and maintenance of the Seaport Centre Wet Utilities and Seaport Centre Levee currently <br />maintained by the Maintenance District and after acceptance of the Levee Improvements, the <br />Services Special Tax will finance the ongoing operating and maintenance of the Seaport Centre <br />Wet Utilities and the New Levee (and excluding the existing Seaport Plaza Wet Utilities, the <br />maintenance of which shall remain the responsibility of HCP and its successors), and the annual <br />costs of calculation, collection and disbursement of the Special Tax and the annual <br />administration costs associated with the CFD. The Special Tax shall be determined annually by <br />City against all taxable parcels within the boundary of the CFD in accordance with the RMA. <br />The Special Tax shall be levied and collected in the same manner and at the same time as ad <br />valorem property taxes, unless some other method of collection is specified by City. The RMA <br />shall be drafted to allow an Owner to permanently satisfy the Facilities Special Tax (and remove <br />the lien thereof) as to any taxable parcel by prepayment pursuant to Section 53344 of the Mello - <br />Roos Act. Prepayment of the Services Special Tax shall not be permitted. <br />(e) City's Reservation of Discretion. It is expressly acknowledged, understood and <br />agreed by the Parties that (i) City must make certain legally required findings in connection with <br />formation of the CFD, (ii) nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall limit City's ability to <br />adopt legally required findings with respect to formation of the CFD, and (iii) nothing in this <br />Agreement is intended to or shall prejudge or commit City regarding the specific findings and <br />determinations to be made with respect thereto; provided, however, that City shall make all <br />legally required findings for which there is a sufficient factual and legal basis, shall specify the <br />factual or legal deficiency that precludes any legally required finding, and shall afford Owners <br />and SCOA a reasonable opportunity to cure any such deficiency. <br />(f) Costs If No CFD Formed. If, for any reason other than City's default of its <br />obligations hereunder, the CFD is not formed, City shall not be liable for any resulting costs to <br />SCOA or Owners and SCOA and Owners shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by <br />unanimous written request and notice to City. Once the CFD is formed, SCOA and Owners shall <br />have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection 4(f). <br />(g) Owners' Cooperation. Subject to Owners' approval of the RMA, which approval <br />shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, in connection with the establishment <br />and implementation of the CFD, Owners (i) will execute all necessary petitions and ballots and <br />waive all election waiting and protest periods at City's request; (ii) cooperate in the development <br />of the RMA; and (iii) allow Special Tax liens to encumber all portions of the Property in order to <br />finance City's acquisition of the Levee Improvements and the maintenance of the New Levee <br />OAK #4819-4834-1908 v20 10 <br />
