All references herein to the Indenture and the Act are qualified in theirentirety by reference to such documents and all references to the 2012 Bonds are qualified byreference to the definitive forms thereof and the information with respect thereto contained in theIndenture.

PLAN OF REFUNDING

The proceeds of the 2012 Bonds, together with additional monies authorized by theDistrict, will be used to currently refund and redeem all of the District's Outstanding 2006 BondAnticipation Bonds (for purposes of this section, the "Refunded Bonds"). To effect therefunding of the Refunded Bonds, the District will enter into an Escrow Deposit Agreement forthe Refunded Bonds with U.S. Bank National Association, Orlando, Florida, as escrow agent(the "Escrow Agent") on or prior to the delivery of the 2012 Bonds. Pursuant to the terms of theEscrow Deposit Agreement, the District will deposit the proceeds of the 2012 Bonds (excludingproceeds used to pay costs of issuance and fund the Series 2012 Reserve Account) and certainother available funds with the Escrow Agent for deposit to the credit of the Escrow Deposit TrustFund (the "Escrow Fund") established pursuant to the Escrow Deposit Agreement. Such monieswill be held in the Escrow Fund uninvested. The amounts deposited into the Escrow Fund willbe sufficient to pay when due, all principal of, redemption premiums (if any) and accrued intereston the Refunded Bonds as the same are called for redemption as provided in the Escrow DepositAgreement, which redemption is expected to take place on or about July 9, 2012 (the "ExpectedRedemption Date").

Upon delivery of the 2012 Bonds, Causey Demgen & Moore Inc. (the "VerificationAgent") will verify the accuracy of the arithmetical computations of the sufficiency of theamounts to be held in the Escrow Fund to pay the principal, interest and redemption premium (ifany) on the Refunded Bonds. See "VERIFICATION OF ARITHMETICALCOMPUTATIONS" herein. Upon the issuance of the 2012 Bonds and the deposit of moneys inthe Escrow Fund as described above, in the opinion of Bond Counsel in reliance upon, amongother things, the report of the Verification Agent, the Refunded Bonds shall be deemed paid andno longer outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the District reserves the rightto redeem all or a portion of the Refunded Bonds, before the Expected Redemption Date, as and

to the extent all or any of the holders of the Refunded Bonds waive the right to thirty (30) daysnotice of the refunding and redemption of the Refunded Bonds as contemplated herein.

The amounts held in the Escrow Fund are pledged solely for the benefit of the holders ofthe Refunded Bonds and will not be available for payment of debt service on the 2012 Bonds.

Book-Entry Only System

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has beenobtained from DTC and the District does not make any representation or warranty or take anyresponsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

DTC will act as securities depository for the 2012 Bonds. The 2012 Bonds will be issuedas fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee)or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fullyregistered 2012 Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the 2012 Bonds, each in theaggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.

DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized underthe New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New YorkBanking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within themeaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registeredpursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holdsand provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate andmunicipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's

Page 14: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-tradesettlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in depositedsecurities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between DirectParticipants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trustcompanies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holdingcompany for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income ClearingCorporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of itsregulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S.and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporationsthat clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly orindirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Direct Participants and the Indirect Participants arecollectively referred to herein as the "DTC Participants." DTC has Standard & Poor's rating:AA+. The DTC rules applicable to its DTC Participants are on file with the Securities andExchange Commission (the "SEC"). More information about DTC can be found atwww.dtcc.com.

Purchases of 2012 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through DirectParticipants, which will receive a credit for the 2012 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownershipinterest of each actual purchaser of each 2012 Bond (each a "Beneficial Owner") is in turn to berecorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receivewritten confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected toreceive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statementsof their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Ownerentered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2012 Bonds are to beaccomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalfof Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing theirownership interests in the 2012 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system forthe 2012 Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 2012 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants withDTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other nameas may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the 2012 Bondswith DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do noteffect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual BeneficialOwners of the 2012 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants towhose accounts such 2012 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners.The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of theirholdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, byDirect Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants toBeneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory orregulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of 2012Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices ofsignificant events with respect to the 2012 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and

Page 15: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

proposed amendments to the 2012 Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of 2012Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the 2012 Bonds for their benefit hasagreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Ownersmay wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and request that copies of noticesbe provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the 2012 Bonds within amaturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest ofeach Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote withrespect to the 2012 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC'sMMI procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District assoon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting orvoting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the 2012 Bonds are credited on therecord date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Principal and interest payments on the 2012 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or suchother nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is tocredit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detailinformation from the District or the Paying Agent on a payment date in accordance with theirrespective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by DTC Participants to BeneficialOwners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case withsecurities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," andwill be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Trustee,or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from timeto time. Payment of principal and interest on the 2012 Bonds, as applicable, to Cede & Co. (orsuch other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is theresponsibility of the District and/or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to DirectParticipants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to theBeneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the 2012 Bondsat any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances,in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, 2012 Bond certificates are required to beprinted and delivered.

The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers throughDTC upon compliance with any applicable DTC rules and procedures. In that event, 2012 Bondcertificates will be printed and delivered.

So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the 2012 Bonds, as nominee of DTC,reference herein to the Bondholders or Registered Owners of the 2012 Bonds will meanCede & Co., as aforesaid, and will not mean the Beneficial Owners of the 2012 Bonds.

NEITHER THE DISTRICT NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANYRESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO THE DTC PARTICIPANTS OR THE PERSONS

For purposes hereof, Delinquent Assessment means collectively, any and all installmentsof any Series 2012 Assessments which are not paid within thirty (30) days of the date on whichsuch installments are due and payable.

In carrying out its single specialized purpose to provide basic systems, facilities, services,infrastructure and improvements to the lands within the District serving the Ave MariaCommunity, the Act grants the District the power to manage the construction of the 2006 Projectimprovements funded by exercising its financing powers to issue bonds and to amortize thebonds by imposing and levying the Series 2012 Assessments upon the lands which receivespecial benefits apportioned, peculiar to the property, fairly and reasonably, from the 2006Project. Non-ad valorem assessments are not based on millage and can become a lien against thehomestead as permitted in Section 4, Article X of the Florida State Constitution.

Series 2012 Assessments imposed and levied on unplatted lots and pledged to secure the2012 Bonds shall be collected by invoice by the District pursuant to the Act, and not pursuant tothe Uniform Method, in each case unless otherwise directed by the Trustee, acting at thedirection of the Majority Owners. It is currently contemplated that the Series 2012 Assessmentslevied on such unplatted lots securing the 2012 Bonds shall be collected by an agent of theDistrict pursuant to a Collection Agreement (as hereinafter described), until such time as suchliened land is platted for lots. To give effect to the foregoing, the Board of Supervisors of theDistrict shall require the District Manager to invoice the Series 2012 Assessments which havebeen imposed and levied on unplatted land off of the District's assessment roll that is certified tothe Tax Collector and using instead the District's assessment roll which is to be invoiced by theDistrict's collection agent by operation of semi-annual installments as required under theIndenture.

Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the sentenceimmediately succeeding, Series 2012 Assessments levied on platted lots and pledged to securethe 2012 Bonds may be collected pursuant to the uniform method for the collection of Series2012 Assessments set forth in the Act (the "Uniform Method"). To the extent the District is notable to collect such Series 2012 Assessments pursuant to the Uniform Method, the District mayelect to collect and enforce such Series 2012 Assessments pursuant to any then available andcommercially reasonable method under the Act, other applicable law, or any successor statutesthereto.

The 2012 Bonds will be secured by the revenues derived by the District from the Series2012 Assessments which may be (but are not currently contemplated to be) collected by the TaxCollector. Pursuant to Section 4 of the Act, and Section 197.3631, Florida Statutes, the Districtmay use the Uniform Method for the collection and enforcement of the imposed and leviedspecial assessments under Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, and Rule D-18, FloridaAdministrative Code, as amended. Under this methodology the District provides to the PropertyAppraiser the appropriate legal description pursuant to which the Property Appraiser providesthe District by June 1 of the applicable calendar year, the name, address and legal description ofeach individual parcel after which the District must prepare and adopt the roll. The law imposesthe duty on the Chairman of the District, or the designee of the Chairman, to certify the non-advalorem assessment roll noticed and adopted by the District to the Tax Collector on compatibleelectronic medium tied to the property identification number no later than September 15 of the

Page 20: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

applicable calendar year. The Tax Collector will attempt to merge that non-ad valoremassessment roll with other assessments rolls and the tax roll to create a collection roll from whichthe individual tax notice and receipt (the so called "property tax bill") will be sent to the owner ofeach parcel for collection and enforcement. The tax notice and receipt will include the dollaramount of the Series 2012 Assessments imposed and levied and to be collected on each suchparcel. If payments of Series 2012 Assessments securing the 2012 Bonds are remitted by theTax Collector to the District, the District agrees to give such consents and to take such othersteps as may be necessary to permit the Paying Agent, in its discretion, to obtain informationfrom the Tax Collector concerning the amount and date of each such payment of Series 2012Assessments to the District. If the District is unable, despite its best efforts to do so, to cause theSeries 2012 Assessments securing the 2012 Bonds to be collected pursuant to Section 197.3632,Florida Statutes, then the District covenants that the Series 2012 Assessments will be collectedby it in the manner prescribed by law (as referenced in the preceding paragraph) and will,immediately upon receipt, deposit the same with the Trustee for repayment of the 2012 Bonds,including interest to the date of such repayment.

Concerning any Delinquent Assessments, the District covenanted in the Indenture that ifany property shall be offered for sale for the nonpayment of any Series 2012 Assessment and noperson or persons shall purchase such property for an amount equal to the full amount due on theSeries 2012 Assessments (principal, interest, penalties and costs, plus attorneys' fees, if any), theproperty which is the subject of the Delinquent Assessment may then be purchased by theDistrict for an amount equal to the balance due on the Series 2012 Assessments (principal,interest, penalties and costs, plus attorneys' fees, if any), from any legally available funds of theDistrict, and the District shall receive title to the property in its corporate name or in the name ofa special purpose entity for the benefit of the Owners of the 2012 Bonds; provided that theTrustee shall have the right, acting at the direction of the Majority Owners to direct the Districtwith respect to any action taken pursuant to the Indenture. The District, either through its ownaction, or actions caused to be taken through the Trustee, shall have the power and shall lease orsell such property, and deposit all of the net proceeds of any such lease or sale into the 2012Revenue Account. The District, either through its own actions, or actions caused to be takenthrough the Trustee, agrees that it shall, after being provided with assurances satisfactory to it ofpayment of its fees, costs and expenses for doing so, be required to take the measures providedby law for sale of property acquired by it as trustee for the Owners of the 2012 Bonds withinthirty (30) days after the receipt of the request therefore signed by the Trustee or the MajorityOwners. The Trustee may, upon direction from the Majority Owners, pay costs associated withany actions taken by the District pursuant to the Indenture from any moneys legally available forsuch purpose held under the Indenture. It should be noted that the District may not havesufficient funds to complete such a purchase.

The District covenants in the Indenture, that if any Series 2012 Assessment shall be eitherin whole or in part annulled, vacated or set aside by the judgment of any court, or the Districtshall be satisfied that any such Series 2012 Assessments are so irregular or defective that itcannot be enforced or collected, or if the District shall have omitted to make such Series 2012Assessments when it might have done so, the District shall either: (i) take all necessary steps tocause a new Assessment to be made for the whole or any part of such improvement or againstany property benefited by such improvement; or (ii) in its sole discretion, make up the amount ofsuch Assessment from legally available moneys, which moneys shall be deposited into the 2012

Please refer to "APPENDIX E - MASTER ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY" for adescription of the Series 2012 Assessments and the methodology by which they are imposed andlevied.

No Parity Bonds

The District covenants and agrees that so long as there are any 2012 Bonds Outstanding,it shall not cause or permit to be caused any lien, charge or claim against the 2012 Trust Estate;provided, however, that the District reserves the right to issue bonds, notes or other obligationspayable from or secured by the 2012 Trust Estate pledged to the 2012 Bonds, but only so long assuch bonds, notes or other obligations are not entitled to a lien upon or charge against the 2012Trust Estate equal or prior to the lien of this Supplemental Indenture securing the 2012 Bonds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the District may levy assessments on the same realproperty which is encumbered by the Series 2012 Assessments pursuant to a separate trustindenture; provided, however, that the District has covenanted in the Indenture that so long asthere are any 2012 Bonds Outstanding, it shall not levy or impose assessments for capitalprojects on lands subject to the Series 2012 Assessments without the written consent of theMajority Owners (without regard to Series designation); provided, further, that the foregoinglimitation shall not apply if a principal amount of the Series 2012 Assessments equaling at leastseventy-five percent (75%) of the then-Outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Bonds havebeen levied on lands within the District with respect to which there exists a separate tax parcelidentification number for such parcel and a certificate of occupancy has been issued for astructure thereon.

Enforcement of Payment of Series 2012 Assessments

Upon the failure of any property owner to pay the principal of the Series 2012Assessment or the interest thereon, when due, the governing body of the District is authorized tocommence legal proceedings for the enforcement of the payment thereof, includingcommencement of an action in chancery, commencement of a foreclosure proceeding in thesame manner as the foreclosure of a real estate mortgage, or commencement of an action underChapter 173, Florida Statutes, relating to foreclosure of municipal tax and special assessmentliens. Any foreclosure proceedings to enforce payment of the Series 2012 Assessments willmost probably proceed under the provisions of Chapter 173, Florida Statutes, which providesthat after the expiration of one year from the date any special assessment or installment thereofbecomes due, the District may commence a foreclosure proceeding against the lands upon whichthe Series 2012 Assessments are liens. Such a proceeding is in rem, meaning that it is broughtagainst the land and not against the owner. The statutes if used relating to enforcement of countytaxes provide that ad valorem taxes first become payable on November 1 of the year whenassessed and constitute a lien upon the assessed land from January 1 of such year. The Series2012 Assessments will be imposed and levied from the date of adoption by the Board ofSupervisors of the District of the final assessment roll. See "ENFORCEMENT OF SERIES2012 ASSESSMENT COLLECTIONS - Collection Through Uniform Method" herein.

ENFORCEMENT OF SERIES 2012 ASSESSMENT COLLECTIONS

General

As stated herein, one of the primary prospective sources of payment for the 2012 Bondsare the Series 2012 Assessments imposed and levied on each parcel of specially benefited landwithin the District pursuant to the Assessment Proceedings. To the extent that landowners fail topay such Series 2012 Assessments, delay payments, or are unable to pay the same, the successfulpursuance of collection procedures available to the District is essential to continued payment ofprincipal of and interest on the 2012 Bonds. The Act provides for various methods of collectionof Delinquent Assessments by reference to its provisions and other provisions of the FloridaStatutes. The following is a description of certain statutory provisions of assessment paymentand collection procedures appearing in the Florida Statutes, but is qualified in its entirety byreference to such statutes.

The Series 2012 Assessments securing the 2012 Bonds will be payable in annualinstallments and will be imposed and levied by the District each year for those lots that havebeen platted. The determination, order, levy and collection of Series 2012 Assessments must bedone in compliance with procedural and substantive requirements and guidelines provided by theAct and other State law. Failure by the District, its collection agent, or the Tax Collector or theProperty Appraiser to comply with such requirements could result in delays in the collection of,or the complete inability to collect, Series 2012 Assessments during any year. Such delays in thecollection of, or complete inability to collect, Series 2012 Assessments could have a materialadverse effect on the ability of the District to make full or punctual payment of Debt Service onthe 2012 Bonds. The Series 2012 Assessments securing the 2012 Bonds for those lots that havenot been platted will be payable in semi annual installments and will be imposed and levied bythe District each year.

Collection Through UniformMethod

As referenced in "SECURITY FOR AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF THE 2012BONDS," the Florida Statutes provide that, subject to certain conditions, special assessments

Page 31: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

25

such as the Series 2012 Assessments may be collected in the same manner as county ad valoremtaxes (this is the method to be employed for the Series 2012 Assessments securing the 2012Bonds once a lot is platted). The statutes relating to enforcement of county taxes provide thatcounty taxes become due and payable on November 1 of the year when assessed and constitute alien upon the land from January 1 of such year. Special assessments are a lien on the landagainst which they are assessed from January 1 of the year of assessment until paid or barred byoperation of law. The lien of the Series 2012 Assessments is of equal dignity with the liens forstate and county taxes upon land, and thus is a first lien, superior to all other liens, includingmortgages (except for state and county taxes and other taxes which are of equal dignity). Suchtaxes and assessments (including the Series 2012 Assessments, if any, being collected by theUniform Method) are to be billed, and landowners in the District, subject to next succeedingsentence, are required to pay all such taxes and assessments, without preference in payment ofany particular increment of the tax bill, such as the increment owing for the Series 2012Assessments. If a landowner initiates legal proceedings contesting the levy or the amount of aparticular ad valorem tax or possibly a non ad valorem assessment which could include theSeries 2012 Assessments, under certain circumstances, such landowner may be permitted to payonly that amount of ad valorem taxes that the landowner, in good faith, admits to be owing. Asdescribed below, if a landowner should commence legal proceedings regarding the Series 2012Assessments, this could result in the delay of certain remedial actions made available using theUniform Method. If a significant number of landowners contest the levy or amount of Series2012 Assessments, it is possible the District would not have sufficient Pledged Revenues totimely pay debt service on the 2012 Bonds. Upon any receipt of moneys by the Tax Collectorfrom the Series 2012 Assessments, such moneys will be delivered to the District, which willremit such Series 2012 Assessments to the Trustee. Upon receipt by the Tax Collector of theSeries 2012 Assessments, moneys therefrom will be deposited as provided in the Indenture.

All County, applicable state water management district, school and special district taxes,and county and special district non ad valorem assessments, Series 2012 Assessments (if theuniform method of collection is utilized) and voter approved ad-valorem taxes imposed andlevied to pay principal of and interest on bonds, including the Series 2012 Assessments imposedand levied by the District, are payable at one time. If a taxpayer does not make completepayment, he or she cannot designate specific line items on his or her tax bill as deemed paid infull, except that if a taxpayer has commenced legal proceedings contesting the levy or amount ofan ad valorem tax and paid the total amount of non ad valorem assessments, a tax collector mayaccept a partial payment of the ad valorem tax. In the event the Series 2012 Assessments are tobe collected pursuant to the Uniform Method, any failure to pay any one line item, except asrelates to a challenge in connection with the Series 2012 Assessments, would not affect thecollection of Series 2012 Assessments. However, if a taxpayer disputes all or a portion of theSeries 2012 Assessments, and pays the balance of ad valorem taxes and paid the total amount ofthe non ad valorem assessments which the taxpayer in good faith admits to be owing, this couldpossibly cause a delay in the collection of the Series 2012 Assessments, which could have asignificant adverse effect on the ability of the District to make full or punctual payment of thedebt service requirements on the 2012 Bonds. Under certain circumstances, the District mayprospectively opt out of using the Uniform Method and utilize the foreclosure proceduresdescribed in the section below captioned "Judicial Proceedings."

Page 32: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

26

If Series 2012 Assessments collected by this method are paid during November when dueor during the following three months, the taxpayer is granted a variable discount equal to 4% inNovember and decreasing one percentage point per month to 1% in February. All unpaid taxesbecome delinquent on April 1 of the year following assessment, and the Tax Collector is requiredto collect taxes prior to April 1 and after that date to institute statutory procedures upondelinquency to collect assessed taxes. Delay in the mailing of tax notices to taxpayers may resultin a delay throughout this process.

Sale of Tax Certificates

The collection of Delinquent Assessments collected by the uniform method is, in essence,based upon the sale by the Tax Collector of "tax certificates" and remittance of the proceeds ofsuch sale to the District for the payment of the Series 2012 Assessment due. The demand forsuch certificates is in turn dependent upon various factors, which include the interest that can beearned by ownership of such certificates and the value of the land that is the subject of suchcertificates and which may be subject to sale at the demand of the certificate holder. Therefore,the underlying value of the land within the District may affect the demand for such certificatesand the successful collection of the Series 2012 Assessments. See "BONDHOLDERS' RISKS"herein.

In the event of a delinquency in the payment of taxes on real property, the Tax Collectoris required to attempt to sell tax certificates on such property to the person who pays thedelinquent taxes and interest and certain costs and charges relating thereto, and who accepts thelowest interest rate per annum to be borne by the certificates (not to exceed 18%). Delinquenttaxes may be paid by a taxpayer prior to the date of sale of a tax certificate by the payment ofsuch taxes, together with interest and all costs and charges relating thereto. Generally, taxcertificates are sold by public bid. If there are no bidders at the public sale of tax certificates, thecertificate is issued to the County in which the assessed lands are located, at the maximum rate ofinterest allowed (currently 18%). The Tax Collector does not collect any money if taxcertificates are issued to the County. Proceeds from the sale of tax certificates are required to beused to pay taxes (including Series 2012 Assessments), interest, costs and charges on the realproperty described in the certificate.

County held certificates may be purchased and any tax certificate may be redeemed, inwhole, by any person at any time before a tax deed is issued or the property is placed on the listof lands available for sale, at a price equal to the face amount of the certificate or portion thereoftogether with all interest, costs, charges and omitted taxes due. The proceeds of such aredemption are paid to the Tax Collector who transmits to the holder of the certificate suchproceeds less service charges, and the certificate is canceled. Any holder, other than the County,of a tax certificate that has not been redeemed has seven years from the date of issuance of thetax certificate during which to act against the land that is the subject of the tax certificate.

After an initial period ending two years from April 1 of the year of issuance of acertificate, during which period actions against the land are held in abeyance to allow for salesand redemptions of tax certificates and before the expiration of seven years from the date ofissuance, the holder of a certificate may apply for a tax deed to the subject land. The applicant isrequired to pay to the Tax Collector at the time of application all amounts required to redeem or

Page 33: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

27

purchase all other outstanding tax certificates covering the land, plus interest, any omitted taxesor delinquent taxes and interest, and current taxes, if due. If the County holds a tax certificate onproperty valued at $5,000 or more and has not succeeded in selling it, the county must apply fora tax deed two years after April 1 of the year of issuance. The County pays costs and fees to theTax Collector but not any amount to redeem any other outstanding certificates covering the land.Thereafter, the property is advertised for public sale.

In any such public sale, the private holder of the tax certificate who is seeking a tax deedfor non-homestead property is deemed to submit a minimum bid equal to the amount required toredeem the tax certificate, charges for the cost of sale, redemption of other tax certificates on theland, and the amount paid by such holder in applying for the tax deed, plus interest thereon. Inthe case of homestead property, the bid is also deemed to include an amount equal to one-half ofthe latest assessed value of the homestead. If there are no higher bids, the holder receives title tothe land and the amounts paid for the certificate and in applying for a tax deed are creditedtowards the purchase price. If there are other bids, the holder may enter the bidding. Thehighest bidder is awarded title to the land. The portion of proceeds of such sale needed toredeem the tax certificate, and all other amounts paid by such person in applying for a tax deed,are forwarded to the holder thereof or credited to such holder if such holder is the successfulbidder. Excess proceeds are distributed first to satisfy governmental liens against the land andthen to the former title holder of the property (less service charges), lienholders of record,mortgagees of record, vendees of recorded contracts for deeds, and other lienholders and anyother person to whom the land was last assessed on the tax roll for the year in which the land wasassessed, all as their interests may appear.

Except for certain governmental liens and certain restrictive covenants and restrictions,no right, interest, restriction or other covenant survives the issuance of a tax deed. Thus, forexample, outstanding mortgages on property subject to a tax deed would be extinguished.

If there are no bidders at the public sale, the County may at any time within ninety(90) days from the date of offering for public sale purchase the land without further notice oradvertising for a statutorily prescribed opening bid. After ninety (90) days have passed, anyperson or governmental unit may purchase the land by paying the amount of the opening bid.Three years from the date of offering for public sale, unsold lands escheat to the County in whichthey are located and all tax certificates and liens against the property are canceled and a deed isexecuted vesting title in the County Commissioners.

Judicial Proceedings

In addition to the sale of tax certificates as a method of enforcing the payment of Series2012 Assessments, upon the failure of any property owner to pay the principal of the SpecialAssessment or the interest thereon, when due, the governing body of the District is authorized tocommence legal proceedings for the enforcement of the payment thereof, includingcommencement of an action in chancery, commencement of a foreclosure proceeding in thesame manner as the foreclosure of a real estate mortgage, or commencement of an action underChapter 173, Florida Statutes, relating to foreclosure of municipal tax and special assessmentliens. Foreclosure proceedings under the provisions of Chapter 173, Florida Statutes providesthat after the expiration of one year from the date any special assessment or installment thereof

Page 34: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

28

becomes due, the District may commence a foreclosure proceeding against the lands upon whichthe assessments are liens. As and to the extent applicable, Chapter 170.10, Florida Statutes doesnot have the one year waiting period. Such a proceeding is in rem, meaning that it is broughtagainst the land and not against the owner in the Circuit Court where the land is located.

Certain mortgage lenders have, in recent foreclosure suits brought under Chapter 170,Florida Statutes, plead a defense stating that a foreclosing district must abide by the same oneyear period as Chapter 173 in order to begin foreclosure proceedings. The defense is, apparently,based upon recent amendments to Section 190.026, Florida Statutes, where, in an apparentattempt to clarify that not only Chapter 173 was available to districts for foreclosure, but thatalso Chapter 170 was available, that statute's language became less clear regarding theinapplicability of the one year waiting period for districts employing Chapter 170. Floridaspecial districts, similar in many respects to the District, which have taken a position on thisissue, such as community development districts, have all asserted that the one year waitingperiod does not apply to Chapter 170, and at least one Circuit Court has agreed.

In general, after the District commences the suit, there is a period of notice to, and anopportunity for response by, affected persons. Ultimately a hearing will be held and, if the courtdecides in favor of the District, a judgment will be rendered in the amount of the DelinquentAssessments and costs of the proceeding. The judgment would also direct sale of the landsubject to the Delinquent Assessments by public bid to the highest bidder, with proceeds of thesale being applied to payment of the Delinquent Assessments. If no bidder bids at least theamount of the Delinquent Assessments and applicable costs, the District may obtain title to theland.

Enforcement of the obligation to pay Series 2012 Assessments and the ability of the TaxCollector to sell tax certificates and ultimately tax deeds, or the ability to foreclose the liencreated by the failure to pay Series 2012 Assessments, may not be readily available or may belimited as such enforcement is dependent upon judicial actions that are often subject to discretionand delay.

For a description of the Series 2012 Assessments and the methodology for their levy,please refer to "SECURITY FOR AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF THE 2012 BONDS"herein and "APPENDIX E - MASTER ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY" herein.

Unless the Series 2012 Assessments are collected using the Uniform Method, the onlyremedies available for enforcement of the Series 2012 Assessments would be those described inthis Section.

Collection Agreement

As referenced in "SECURITY FOR AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF THE 2012BONDS" herein at the time of the delivery of the 2012 Bonds, it is anticipated that the Districtwill enter into a Collection Agreement (the "Collection Agreement") with the Developer andSpecial District Services, Inc. to act as collection agent (the "Collection Agent") to monitorpayment of the Series 2012 Assessments and collect the Series 2012 Assessments levied onunplatted lots which secure the 2012 Bonds until the Uniform Method of Collection is employed

Page 35: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

29

in respect of such unplatted lots. Pursuant to the Collection Agreement, the District will recordan instrument with the appropriate office for real estate recordation in the County evidencing therequirements of payment of Series 2012 Assessments including any prepayment of Series 2012Assessments on the unplatted lots subject to Series 2012 Assessments. The Collection Agentwill be authorized to release the applicable lien on the applicable parcel upon receipt of paymentin full of each applicable Series 2012 Assessment. The Collection Agreement establishesprocedures for the Collection Agent to monitor the status of properties subject to Series 2012Assessments and requires the Collection Agent to assure delivery of the payment to the Trustee.

BONDHOLDERS' RISKS

Certain risks are inherent in an investment in obligations secured by Series 2012Assessments issued by a public authority or governmental body in the State of Florida. Certainof these risks are described in the preceding section entitled "ENFORCEMENT OF SERIES2012 ASSESSMENT COLLECTIONS"; however, certain additional risks are associated withthe 2012 Bonds offered hereby. This section does not purport to summarize all risks that may beassociated with purchasing or owning the 2012 Bonds and prospective purchasers are advised toread this Limited Offering Memorandum in its entirety for a more complete description ofinvestment considerations relating to the 2012 Bonds.

1. Until further development takes place on the benefited land within the District,payment of a significant portion of the Series 2012 Assessments is dependent upon their timelypayment by the landowners who will all be affiliates of the Developer (as defined herein). Atclosing of the sale of the 2012 Bonds it is expected that the majority of the land within theDistrict burdened by the Series 2012 Assessments will continue to be owned either directly orindirectly by the Developer or an affiliated company. In the event of the institution ofbankruptcy or similar proceedings with respect to the Developer or its affiliates or any othersubsequent significant owner of property within the District, delays will most likely occur in thepayment of Debt Service on the 2012 Bonds as such bankruptcy could negatively impact theability of: (i) the Developer and any other land owner being able to pay the Series 2012Assessments; (ii) the Tax Collector to sell tax certificates in relation to such property; and (iii)the District to foreclose the lien on the Series 2012 Assessments if tax certificates are not sold (inthe case of (ii) or (iii) above, to the extent that any portion of the Series 2012 Assessments arebeing collected by the Uniform Method of collection). In the event that tax certificates cannot besold on such land, delays in the receipt of Series 2012 Assessment Revenues could result duringthe period it would take for the District to institute and complete foreclosure proceedings. In theevent of the institution of bankruptcy or similar proceedings with respect to the Developer or anyother subsequent owner of property within the Development, delays could occur in the paymentof debt service on the 2012 Bonds. In addition, the remedies available to the Beneficial Ownersof the 2012 Bonds upon an Event of Default under the Indenture are in many respects dependentupon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existingconstitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, during a bankruptcy of the Developer, theremedies specified by federal, state and local law and in the Indenture and the 2012 Bonds,including, without limitation, enforcement of the obligation to pay the Series 2012 Assessmentsmay not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be deliveredconcurrently with the delivery of the 2012 Bonds (including Bond Counsel's approving opinion)

Page 36: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

30

will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments by limitations imposedby bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditorsenacted before or after such delivery. The inability, either partially or fully, to enforce remediesavailable respecting the 2012 Bonds could have a material adverse impact on the interest of theBeneficial Owners thereof.

2. The principal security for the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2012Bonds is the timely collection of the Series 2012 Assessments. The Series 2012 Assessments donot constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of the land subject thereto, but are securedonly by a lien on such land. The Developer expects to proceed in its normal course of businessto develop lots and construct homes to sell to retail buyers to be served by the 2006 Project andthe Total Capital Improvement Program (as defined herein). There is no assurance that thecurrent and subsequent owners of this land will be able to pay the Series 2012 Assessments orthat they will pay such Series 2012 Assessments even though financially able to do so. Beyondlegal delays that could result from bankruptcy, the ability of the Tax Collector to sell taxcertificates (to the extent that any portion of the Series 2012 Assessments are being collected bythe Uniform Method of Collection) will be dependent upon various factors, including the interestrate which can be earned by ownership of such certificates and the value of the land which is thesubject of such certificates and which may be subject to sale at the demand of the certificateholder after two years. The determination of the special benefits to be received by and peculiarto the land within the District as a result of implementation and development of the 2006 Projectand the Capital Improvement Program is not indicative of the realizable or market value of theland, which value may actually be higher or lower than the dollar amount of the assessment. Inother words, the value of the land could potentially be ultimately less than the special assessmentor the debt associated with it. To the extent that the realizable or market value of the land islower than the dollar amount of the assessment used to amortize the debt or lower than the debtper parcel, the ability of the Tax Collector to sell tax certificates (to the extent that any portion ofthe Series 2012 Assessments are being collected by the Uniform Method of Collection) relatingto such land may be adversely affected. If there is no purchaser, the tax certificate is struck offto the County. Such adverse effect could render the District unable to collect DelinquentAssessments, if any, and could negatively impact the ability of the District to make the full orpunctual payment of Debt Service on the 2012 Bonds. The payment of the annual Series 2012Assessments and the ability of the Tax Collector to sell tax certificates or the District to foreclosethe lien of the unpaid assessments, including the Series 2012 Assessments, may be limited bybankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws generally affecting creditors' rights or by the laws of theState relating to court foreclosure. Bankruptcy of a property owner will most likely also result ina delay by the Tax Collector in selling tax certificates or the clerk in selling tax deeds or theDistrict in prosecuting court foreclosure proceedings. Such delay would increase the likelihoodof a delay or default in payment of and interest on the 2012 Bonds.

3. The District is required to comply with statutory and case law procedures inlevying the Series 2012 Assessments. Failure of the District to follow these procedures couldresult in the Series 2012 Assessments not being imposed and levied or potential future challengesto such levy. See "SECURITY FOR AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF THE 2012 BONDS"herein.

4. The proposed Development may be affected by changes in general economicconditions, fluctuations in the real estate market and other factors beyond the control of theDeveloper. The real estate market in Florida has experienced significant slowing of new homesales and new home closings, as well as an increased rate of cancellation of lot purchaseagreements as compared to recent years. Although the Developer (and Pulte, as hereinafterdefined) is committed to sell homes to end users, there can be no assurance that such purchaseswill occur or be realized in the manner currently anticipated. In addition, the proposedDevelopment is subject to comprehensive federal, state, and local regulations and future changesto such regulations. Approval is required from various public agencies in connection with,among other things, the design, nature and extent of required future public improvements, bothpublic and private, and the construction of same in accordance with applicable zoning, land useand environmental regulations for the Development. Although no delays are anticipated, failureto obtain any such approvals in a timely manner could delay or adversely affect theDevelopment, which may negatively impact the Developer's desire or ability to develop theDevelopment as contemplated. See "THE DEVELOPMENT - Governmental Approvals" and"APPENDIX A - ENGINEER'S REPORT" attached hereto for a discussion of permits andapprovals.

5. The District has not granted, and may not grant under Florida law, a mortgage orsecurity interest in the 2006 Project. Furthermore, the District has not pledged the revenues fromthe operation of the 2006 Project as security for, or a source of payment of, the 2012 Bonds.Neither has the District covenanted to establish rates, fees and charges for the 2006 Project atany specified levels. The 2012 Bonds are payable solely from, and secured solely by, the 2012Trust Estate. The Developer's obligation to pay the Series 2012 Assessments is limited solely tothe obligation of any landowner to pay its Series 2012 Assessment. The Developer is not aguarantor of payment on any Series 2012 Assessment and the recourse for the Developer'sfailure to pay the Series 2012 Assessments is limited to its ownership interest in the assessedland.

6. The willingness and/or ability of an owner of land within the District to pay theSeries 2012 Assessments could be affected by the existence of taxes and other assessmentsimposed upon the land by the District or by the County, or by other public entities withjurisdiction over the lands within the District. Under the uniform method, applicable state watermanagement district, County, municipal, school, special district taxes and County, any municipaland any special district non ad valorem assessments and Series 2012 Assessments, and voter-approved ad valorem taxes imposed and levied to pay principal of and interest on bonds,including the Series 2012 Assessments, if collected pursuant to the uniform method, are payableat one time. As referenced above, if a taxpayer does not make complete payment, he or shecannot designate specific line items on the tax bill as deemed paid in full. In such case, the TaxCollector does not accept such partial payment; provided, however, that if a taxpayer hascommenced legal proceedings contesting the levy or amount of an ad valorem tax, a tax collectormay accept a partial payment of the ad valorem tax as described under "ENFORCEMENT OFSERIES 2012 ASSESSMENT COLLECTIONS" herein. Public entities whose boundariesoverlap those of the District, such as the County and the County school district, could, withoutthe consent of the owners of the land within the District, impose additional taxes or assessmentson the property within the District. The District has no control over the amount of taxes orassessments imposed and levied by governmental entities other than the District. The lien of theSeries 2012 Assessments is, however, of equal dignity with the liens for State and County and

Page 38: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

32

certain taxes upon land. As referenced herein, the District may initially collect the Series 2012Assessments by invoice rather then using the Uniform Method. Accordingly, the sale of taxcertificates as described herein would not be available. In addition, the District has imposedand levied or may also impose and levy additional assessments, including for its operation,maintenance and administrative expenses, which could encumber the property burdenedby the Series 2012 Assessments.

7. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for the 2012 Bondsin the event a Beneficial Owner thereof determines to solicit purchasers of the 2012 Bonds.Even if a liquid secondary market exists, as with any marketable securities, there can be noassurance as to the price for which the 2012 Bonds may be sold. Such price may be lower thanthat paid by the current Beneficial Owner of the 2012 Bonds, depending on the progress of theDevelopment, existing real estate and financial market conditions and other factors. There canalso be no assurance, in the event the District does not have sufficient moneys on hand tocomplete the remainder of the Ave Maria DRI CIP (excluding the 2006 Project which has beencompleted), that the District will be able to raise through the issuance of bonds or otherwise themoneys necessary to complete the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

8. In addition to legal delays that could result from bankruptcy, the ability of theDistrict to enforce collection of delinquent Series 2012 Assessments will be dependent uponvarious factors, including the delay inherent in any judicial proceeding to enforce the lien of theSeries 2012 Assessments and the value of the land which is the subject of such proceedings andwhich may be subject to sale. If the District has difficulty in collecting the Series 2012Assessments, the Series 2012 Reserve Account could be rapidly depleted and the ability of theDistrict to pay debt service could be materially adversely affected. As described under"SECURITY FOR AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR THE 2012 BONDS - Debt ServiceReserve Fund Deficiency Agreement", the Developer has covenanted and agreed in theDeficiency Agreement to replenish the Series 2012 Reserve Account to the Series 2012 ReserveAccount Requirement; however, such obligation to replenish the Series 2012 Reserve Account isunsecured.

9. Owners should note that several mortgage lenders have, in the past, raised legalchallenges to the primacy of the liens similar to those of the Series 2012 Assessments in relationto the liens of mortgages burdening the same real property. All mortgagees holding liens on thesubject land in this transaction of which the District is aware will execute documents prior to theissuance of the 2012 Bonds acknowledging the statutory superiority of the Assessments.

10. The interest rate borne by the 2012 Bonds is, in general, higher than interest ratesborne by other bonds of governmental entities that do not involve the same degree of risk asinvestment in the 2012 Bonds. These higher interest rates are intended to compensate investorsin the 2012 Bonds for the risk inherent in a purchase of the 2012 Bonds. However, such higherinterest rates, in and of themselves, increase the amount of Series 2012 Assessments that theDistrict must levy in order to provide for payments of debt service on the 2012 Bonds, and, inturn, may increase the burden upon owners of lands within the District, thereby possiblyincreasing the likelihood of non-payment or delinquency in payment of such Series 2012Assessments.

11. Various proposals are mentioned from time to time by members of the Congressof the United States of America and others concerning reform of the internal revenue (tax) lawsof the United States. Certain of these proposals, if implemented, could have the effect ofdiminishing the value of obligations of states and their political subdivisions, such as the 2012Bonds, by eliminating or changing the tax-exempt status of interest on certain of such bonds.Whether any of such proposals will ultimately become law, and if so, what effect such proposalscould have upon the value of bonds such as the 2012 Bonds, cannot be predicted. However, it ispossible that any such law could have a material and adverse effect upon the value of the 2012Bonds. The Indenture does not provide for any adjustment to the interest rates borne by the 2012Bonds in the event of a change in the tax-exempt status of the 2012 Bonds.

12. Some of the risk factors described herein, which, if materialized, would result in adelay in the collection of the Series 2012 Assessments, may not affect the timely payment ofdebt service on the 2012 Bonds because of the Series 2012 Reserve Account established by theDistrict for the 2012 Bonds. The ability of the Series 2012 Reserve Account to fund deficienciescaused by delinquent Series 2012 Assessments is dependent upon the amount, duration andfrequency of such deficiencies. Moneys on deposit in the Series 2012 Reserve Account may beinvested in certain obligations permitted under the Indenture. Fluctuations in interest rates andother market factors could affect the amount of moneys available in the Series 2012 ReserveAccount to make up deficiencies.

13. Prospective Bondholders should note that although the Indenture contains a Series2012 Reserve Account Requirement for the Series 2012 Reserve Account, and a correspondingobligation on the part of the District to replenish the Series 2012 Reserve Account to the Series2012 Reserve Account Requirement, if in fact either of those accounts are accessed for anypurpose, the District does not have a designated revenue source for replenishing those fundsexcept for the Developer's obligation under the Deficiency Agreement to replenish the Series2012 Reserve Account to the Series 2012 Reserve Account Requirement. The District will notbe permitted to assess real property burdened by the Series 2012 Assessments for the purpose ofreplenishing the Series 2012 Reserve Account.

14. While the District has represented to the Underwriter that it has selected itsmanager, financial advisor, counsel, engineer, corporate trustee and other professionals with theappropriate due diligence and care, and while the foregoing professionals have each representedin their respective areas as having the requisite expertise to accurately and timely perform theduties assigned to them in such roles, the Underwriter does not guaranty any portion of theperformance of these professionals. Failure on the part of any one of these professionals toperform their obligations could result in a delay in payment on the 2012 Bonds, and in the worstpossible situation, the non-payment of the 2012 Bonds.

15. No application for credit enhancement or a rating on the 2012 Bonds has beenmade.

16. Undeveloped or partially developed land is inherently less valuable thandeveloped land and provides less security to the Bondholders should it be necessary to instituteproceedings due to the nonpayment of the Series 2012 Assessments. Failure to completedevelopment or substantial delays in the completion of the development of the Development due

Page 40: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

34

to litigation or other causes may reduce the value of the Development and increase the length oftime during which Series 2012 Assessments will be payable from undeveloped property and mayaffect the willingness and ability of the owners of such property to pay the Series 2012Assessments when due.

17. The value of the land within the District, the success of the Development and thelikelihood of timely payment of principal and interest on the 2012 Bonds could be affected byenvironmental factors with respect to the land in the District. Should the land be contaminatedby hazardous materials, this could materially and adversely affect the value of the land in theDistrict, which could materially and adversely affect the success of the Development and thelikelihood of timely payment of the 2012 Bonds. The District has not performed, nor has theDistrict requested that there be performed on its behalf, any independent assessments of theenvironmental conditions within the District.

18. If the uniform collection methodology is used non ad valorem assessments maynot be withdrawn from the tax certificate sale for any bond and financing restructuring.

This section does not purport to summarize all risks that may be associated withpurchasing or owning the 2012 Bonds and prospective purchasers are advised to read thisLimited Offering Memorandum in its entirety (inclusive of Appendices) for a more completedescription of investment considerations relating to the 2012 Bonds.

THE DISTRICT

General

The District was created, established, chartered and incorporated in June 2004 as anindependent district, and a special, single purpose, local government, by the Act. The Districtencompasses approximately 10,805 gross acres of land (the "Land") and is located inunincorporated Collier County, Florida. The District has no health, safety and welfare powers ofa general purpose local government and its single purpose is to use its powers granted by the Actto manage the acquisition, construction, operation, maintenance and financing of expressed,limited and enumerated public infrastructure systems, facilities, services and improvements..

Board of Supervisors

The Act provides for the five-member Board of Supervisors (the "Board") to serve as thegoverning body of the District. Members of the Board ("Supervisors") must be citizens of theUnited States and residents of the state of Florida. Initially, the Supervisors are elected on an at-large basis by the owners of the property within the District. Ownership of land within theDistrict entitles the owner to one vote per acre (with fractions thereof rounded upward to thenearest whole number). Terms of office are four years and until a successor is chosen andqualifies. If, during a term of office, a vacancy occurs, the remaining Supervisors may fill thevacancy by an appointment of an interim Supervisor for the remainder of the unexpired term.The landowners present or voting by proxy at the annual landowners' meeting shall constitute aquorum for the purposes of conducting the business of the landowners. Action taken by theDistrict shall be upon a vote of the majority of a quorum of the Supervisors present unless

Page 41: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

35

general law or a rule of the District requires a greater number. Three Supervisors, howeverelected, constitute a quorum. All meetings of the Board are open to the public under Florida's"sunshine" or open meetings law.

At the initial election of the Board, the two Supervisors receiving the highest number ofvotes were elected for a term expiring on November 30, 2006, while the other three Supervisorsreceiving the next largest number of votes were elected to serve initial terms ending onNovember 30, 2008. The next election by the landowners was required to be held on the firstTuesday in November, 2006. Thereafter, an election was required to be held every two years inNovember on a date chosen and noticed by the Board. At the subsequent elections, the twocandidates receiving the highest number of votes will serve for four year terms, and the otherthree candidates will serve for two year terms.

The current Supervisors serving on the Board, their occupations and the term of eachSupervisor are set forth below:

MariaNovember 2014

_______________* The Supervisor previously occupying the vacant Board seat, Paul Roney, recently resigned.

Once duly qualified and elected, as provided in the Act, Mr. Roney's replacement willcomplete the remainder of his term which ends in November 2014.

The Board has the option of calling a referendum on the question of whether certainmembers of the Board should be elected by qualified electors. The conditions precedent tocalling a referendum are that (i) the District has at least 500 qualified electors; (ii) ten percent ofthe qualified electors of the District have signed a petition filed with the Board and submitted tothe Supervisor of Elections of Collier County; and (iii) the election occurs at least sixty daysfollowing verification of the petition. If the referendum is approved, the Board will continue tocomprise five members and elections will continue as scheduled. If the referendum isdisapproved, Board elections will continue unchanged (that is, on a one-acre, one-vote basis),and there can be no referendum on the same question for at least two years.

If the referendum is approved, the Board will prepare a map of the District describing andlocating the urban areas within the District (the "Map"), which can be contested by anylandowner or elector in the District as provided in the Act. Once approved, the Map will be usedto determine the number of Supervisors to be elected by the qualified electors. The Map is to beupdated every five years, or sooner at the discretion of the Board. If the District is made up oftwenty-five percent urban areas or less, one Supervisor will be elected by qualified electors andthe remaining four Supervisors will be elected on a one-acre, one-vote principle. If the District isbetween twenty-five and fifty percent urban, two Supervisors will be elected by qualifiedelectors and the remaining three Supervisors will be elected on a one-acre, one-vote principle. If

36

urban areas are at least fifty percent, but less than seventy percent of the District, threeSupervisors will be elected by qualified electors and the remaining two Supervisors will beelected on a one-acre, one-vote principle. If urban areas constitute at least seventy percent, butless than ninety percent of the District, four Supervisors will be elected by qualified electors andthe remaining Supervisor will be elected on a one-acre, one-vote principle.

THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND THE 2006 PROJECT

In order to implement the single special purpose of the District, the District hasdeveloped a capital improvement plan to allow it to finance, acquire and construct master andneighborhood infrastructure attributable to all 10,805 acres within the District including masterand neighborhood improvements related to drainage and a stormwater management andcollection system (including related land acquisition); wastewater and water facilities;transportation improvements (including offsite improvements and related land acquisition);landscaping and entrance features; a master irrigation system; the cost of mitigation andrestoration of certain lands; and professional and permitting fees, all intended to serve the entireDistrict (collectively, the "District-wide Capital Improvement Program" or the "District-wideCIP"). The District Engineer has estimated the total cost of the District-wide CapitalImprovement Program to be approximately $650 million.

The portion of the District-wide CIP master infrastructure improvements attributable tothe Development and expected to be provided through the District include master infrastructureimprovements related to master drainage and a stormwater management and collection system(including related land acquisition); master transportation improvements (including offsiteimprovements and related land acquisition); a master irrigation system; the cost of mitigation andrestoration of certain lands; and professional and permitting fees (the "Ave Maria DRI CIP").The District Engineer has estimated the total cost of the Ave Maria DRI CIP to be approximately$94.1 million, approximately $44.9 million of which was funded with the proceeds of the 2006Bonds.

If Future Bonds are not issued or if issued but the proceeds therefrom are insufficient tocomplete the Ave Maria DRI CIP, the Developer has agreed, subject to certain limitations,pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the District and Developer regarding theacquisition and completion of certain improvements (the "Acquisition Agreement"), to fund andcomplete or, alternatively, provide sufficient funds to the District to complete the portion of theAve Maria DRI CIP not financed by the proceeds of the 2006 Bonds or the Future Bonds.However, if and to the extent this source of financing is inadequate to pay the cost to completethe Ave Maria DRI CIP, there can be no assurance of the willingness or ability of the Developerto make such funds available in the future, or the ability of the Developer to obtain financingfrom other sources. There is no legal obligation to the owners of either the 2012 Bonds to makeany such funds available for construction or development, or the payment of Assessmentsimposed and levied against property it owns. In the event lands which comprise all or anyportion of phases which are not currently under development are sold to other developers, theobligation to complete the Ave Maria DRI CIP associated with that land is anticipated to beassigned to the purchasers thereof. The Engineer's Report, as supplemented, which is attached as"APPENDIX A - ENGINEER'S REPORT," has additional information regarding thecomponents of the District-wide CIP and Ave Maria DRI CIP and a breakdown of estimatedcosts (excluding financing costs) of the District-wide CIP and Ave Maria DRI CIP.

Barron Collier

Barron Collier Partnership, LLLP ("Barron Collier") is a limited liability limitedpartnership organized under the laws of the State of Florida on January 7, 1991. The partnershipwas originally formed to operate and develop citrus groves and conduct farming operations insouthwest Florida. The partners formed the partnership by a contribution of land and other assetsdistributed to the partners from a related company, Barron Collier Companies ("BCC"). BarronGift Collier, Sr., the founder of Barron Collier Company, was a visionary. Having made hisfortune in streetcar advertising, he visited Southwest Florida in 1911 and was mesmerized by itsbeauty. During the early 1920s, he purchased 1.3 million acres of land that would later becomeCollier and Hendry Counties and was instrumental in shaping Southwest Florida's future.

Mr. Collier, Sr. died in 1939 and the management of the company was assumed by hissons, Sam, Miles and Barron. Sam and Miles both died in the early 1950s, leaving the companyto be managed by Barron, who became President and CEO. The Miles Collier and BarronCollier families later divided the holdings, allowing each family to operate its assets individually.

Over the years, BCC has grown from a land holding company to one of the largestdiversified companies in Southwest Florida. BCC's business ventures include extensiveagricultural operations (primarily citrus groves and vegetable farming), commercial, retail andresidential real estate development as well as oil exploration and mineral management. Today,operations of the company are directed by Co-Presidents Blake Gable and Katie Sproul. LamarGable serves as Chairman of the Board and serves on the Executive Committee with BarronCollier, Jr.'s children, Juliet Collier Sproul and Barron Gift Collier, III. Also on the Board arethird and fourth generations of the Collier family.

Thomas S. Monaghan

Although best known as the founder of Domino's Pizza and former owner of the DetroitTigers baseball franchise, Thomas S. Monaghan is currently devoting his attention full time tonon-profit endeavors, specifically focused on underwriting Catholic higher education. Thissupport primarily flows through the Ave Maria Foundation, which he founded in 1983 and forwhich he serves as chairman of the board.

In 1998, Mr. Monaghan provided the impetus for a major initiative in Catholic highereducation with the founding of Ave Maria Institute in Ypsilanti, Michigan (which later becameAve Maria College), a Catholic liberal arts institution designed to prepare students for leadershipin academics, professional occupations, and service to the greater community. He serves aschairman of the school's board of trustees.

The University was founded in 2003 and currently operates in Ave Maria, Florida. Mr.Monaghan serves as the University's chancellor.

THE DEVELOPMENT

History

In 2002, the intersection of two visions created an opportunity for a wholly new approachto education and land planning. On one side, Thomas S. Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizzaand chairman of the Ave Maria Foundation, dreamed of creating the first major Catholicuniversity in the United States in more than 40 years. At the same time, BCC was poised tousher in a revolutionary program in rural land planning.

The Rural Lands Stewardship Program (as discussed herein) developed for CollierCounty's eastern land is an innovative approach to protecting both the environment andagriculture, while promoting economic prosperity. As participants in the Rural LandsStewardship Program, Ave Maria has put into protection some 17,000 acres of vitally importantenvironmental lands.

The University is an intrinsic part of the town, and participating in town life is anenriching aspect of the University experience. Town residents also benefit from the cultural andacademic resources provided by the University.

The Ave Maria Community

The lands within the District contain approximately 10,805 acres located inunincorporated Collier County, Florida (the "County"). The Ave Maria DRI (the "Development"or "Ave Maria") is a 5,026 acre portion of the District and is believed to be the first modern towndeveloped in conjunction with a university of higher learning. Located 20 miles east of Interstate75 on what was once largely agricultural land, Ave Maria is the preeminent, large mixed useplanned community in the County. Ave Maria has been master planned to be a compact, self-sustaining town that reflects the community's rural roots while offering a full range of residentialoptions and commercial services to its residents. Ave Maria has been designed to human scale.Street networks, distinctive character, and environmental sustainability are integral to itsplanning.

Ave Maria is positioned as a new Florida "town" designed to include diversifiedresidential market segments; commercial development including professional office (general,medical, financial etc.), retail, entertainment and services, schools, parks, and recreational,governmental and institutional uses. All of these uses interact, creating a comprehensive "live,work, learn, play" environment with strong lifestyle considerations. The sheer size and scope ofthe community allows for the designation of Ave Maria as a "town" for marketing purposes. Thetraditional town message is one that is communicated by the architecture, landscape, streetappointments, and soft programming as well as the advertising and public relations activities.The theme is one that is used effectively to provide prospective purchasers with the sense ofplace and the sense of fit that they desire when selecting a new community. Ave Maria has beendeveloped as a true destination community with a range of home prices accessible to the majorityof potential purchasers in its market area.

Nearly 20% of the Development has been designated as the University campus.Connecting the University and the residential and recreational components of Ave Maria is a

core town center anchored by the landmark Oratory and incorporating retail and commercialspace as well as residential condominiums.

Three commercial centers are to provide essential goods and services, entertainment anddining, enabling residents and students alike to live, work and play within the community, oftentraveling by foot or bicycle.

When completed, Ave Maria will contain over 8,600 residential dwellings in a widevariety of price ranges and neighborhoods. Residential dwellings will range from rentalapartments to condominiums and from starter to estate homes.

Community resources currently include an on-site fire/EMS building, a sheriff's office, anurgent care center and a Publix grocery store. A gas station is currently under construction.

The first phase of the University and town of Ave Maria, including residential housingand commercial areas opened for business in mid 2007.

For a $200,000 single family home with a $50,000 homestead exemption ($150,000taxable value), based on the millage rates applicable during the fiscal year ended September 30,2011 (13.4287 mills total according to the Collier County Property Appraiser), the estimatedannual costs of living in the District (excluding the Series 2012 Bonds Long Term Assessment,mortgage payments, capital assessments and fees for utilities services and community andneighborhood association fees) is as follows:

Estimated Annual Taxes, Operation and Maintenance Assessments and Master HOA Fees

Ad Valorem Property Taxes $2,014.31(1)Operation and Maintenance Assessments 299.37(2)Master HOA Fees 385.00(3)

Total $2,698.68___________________________________________(1) Source: Collier County Property Appraiser(2) Includes assessment levied by the District to fund its operation and maintenance and street lighting budget but

Competition

Due to this uniqueness and its location, Ave Maria does not currently have a primarycompetitor. In addition, offering new single family products with selling prices below $200,000,Ave Maria is priced significantly lower than other new communities in Collier County.

Rural Lands Stewardship Program

Anticipated continuing growth in Southwest Florida was the impetus for creating theRural Lands Stewardship Program, which was created explicitly to protect agriculture, theenvironment, and the economic viability of nearly 200,000 undeveloped rural acres in easternCollier County. An incentive-based system, Rural Stewardship allows a landowner to obtaincredits for protecting lands proven to support natural resources and agriculture, then to utilizethose credits in areas identified as suitable for development. Importantly, the number of creditsearned is commensurate with the environmental significance of the land, so property owners aremore highly rewarded for protecting more valuable lands.

As participants in the Rural Lands Stewardship Program, Ave Maria has put intoprotection some 17,000 acres of vitally important environmental lands. Included are areas withinCamp Keais Strand, an important flow way and habitat area, and areas within or adjacent to theOkaloacoochee Slough, a significant regional wildlife corridor and upland-wetland habitat.

The Rural Stewardship program has demonstrated such dramatic promise that it hasbecome a statewide, even nationwide, model for land planning in rural areas. It has won majorrecognition, including the 2003 Sustainable Florida Award and the 1000 Friends of Florida 2005Better Communities Award.

TAX MATTERS

Opinion of Bond Counsel

In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the form of which is included as Appendix C hereto, theinterest on the 2012 Bonds is excludable from gross income and is not a specific item of taxpreference for federal income tax purposes under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and courtdecisions. However, interest on the 2012 Bonds is taken into account in determining adjustedcurrent earnings for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporationspursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Failure by the Districtto comply subsequently to the issuance of the 2012 Bonds with certain requirements of the Code,regarding the use, expenditure and investment of bond proceeds and the timely payment ofcertain investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States, may cause interest on the 2012Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to theirdate of issue. The District has covenanted to comply with all provisions of the Code necessaryto, among other things, maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2012 Bondsfor purposes of federal income taxation. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel has assumedcontinuing compliance with such covenants.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986

The Code contains a number of provisions that apply to the 2012 Bonds, including,among other things, restrictions relating to the use of investment of the proceeds of the 2012Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the 2012 Bondsto the Treasury of the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may result in intereston the 2012 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive totheir date of issue.

Collateral Tax Consequences

Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the federalincome tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, ordisposition of, the 2012 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the 2012 Bonds should be aware thatthe ownership of the 2012 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. Forexample, ownership of the 2012 Bonds may result in collateral tax consequences to various typesof corporations relating to (1) denial of interest deduction to purchase or carry such 2012 Bonds,(2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of interest on the 2012 Bonds in passive incomefor certain Subchapter S corporations. In addition, the interest on the 2012 Bonds may beincluded in gross income by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirementbenefits.

PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE 2012 BONDS ANDTHE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSEFEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATEBONDHOLDERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCESDESCRIBED ABOVE. PROSPECTIVE BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITHTHEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD.

Florida Taxes

In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the 2012 Bonds and interest thereon are exempt fromtaxation under the laws of the State, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter 220,Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations, asdefined in said Chapter 220.

Other Tax Matters

Interest on the 2012 Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation underapplicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the 2012 Bonds should consulttheir tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the 2012 Bonds in their particular stateor local jurisdictions.

During recent years legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in somecases enacted, that altered certain federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership ofobligations that are similar to the 2012 Bonds. In some cases these proposals have containedprovisions that altered these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alteration of federal taxconsequences may have affected the market value of obligations similar to the 2012 Bonds.From time to time, legislative proposals are pending which could have an effect on both thefederal tax consequences resulting from ownership of the 2012 Bonds and their market value.No assurance can be given that additional legislative proposals will not be introduced or enactedthat would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon, the 2012 Bonds.

Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount

Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amountof the 2012 Bonds (collectively the "Discount Bonds") and the initial offering price to the public(excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity ofunderwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Discount Bonds of thesame maturity was sold constitutes original issue discount which is excluded from gross incomefor Federal income tax purposes to the same extent as interest on the 2012 Bonds. Further, suchoriginal issue discount accrues actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of eachDiscount Bond and the basis of each Discount Bond acquired at such initial offering price by aninitial purchaser thereof will be increased by the amount of such accrued original issue discount.The accrual of original issue discount may be taken into account as an increase in the amount oftax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other tax consequences of owning theDiscount Bonds, even though there will not be a corresponding cash payment. Owners of theDiscount Bonds are advised that they should consult with their own advisors with respect to thestate and local tax consequences of owning such Discount Bonds.

AGREEMENT BY THE STATE

Under the Act, the State pledges to the holders of any obligations issued thereunder,including the 2012 Bonds, that it will not limit or alter the rights of the District to own, acquire,construct, reconstruct, improve, maintain, operate or furnish the projects subject to the Act or tolevy and collect taxes, assessments, rentals, rates, fees, and other charges provided for in the Act

It is our opinion that there are no technical reasons existing at this time which would prohibit the

implementation of the plans for the Development as presented herein and that all permits not

heretofore issued and which are necessary to effect the improvements described herein will be

obtained during the ordinary course of development. Therefore, there are no technical reasons

that would prohibit construction of the District's infrastructure that complies with, not

inconsistent with, and subject to the local government's comprehensive plan and development

standards, and Federal, State, and local environmental regulations.

VI. INFRASTRUCTURE BENEFIT

The District will provide funding, maintenance and operation of project-wide public

infrastructure that is provided through its limited, single and specialized purpose. These public

infrastructure improvements include stormwater management, public roadways, reclaimed water

transmission facilities and landscaping improvements to serve the entire District.

Page 76: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

9

The proposed infrastructure improvements identified in this report are intended to provide

specific comprehensive public services to the Ave Maria Community Development properties

within the boundaries of the District. The construction and maintenance of the proposed

infrastructure improvements are necessary and will benefit the property for the intended use as a

master planned community. As noted, the District may construct, acquire, own, and operate all

or any portion of the proposed infrastructure. As also noted earlier, the Developer will construct

the infrastructure not constructed by the District subject to determination by the District's

engineer that such infrastructure meets or exceeds the construction standards of the District and

is therefore worthy of acquisition.

VII. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

The proposed infrastructure improvements addressed by this report are the master infrastructure

elements that will extend basic services to the various land uses located within the District. The

infrastructure elements include the cost of stormwater management, public roadways, reclaimed

water transmission facilities and landscaping improvements. The costs for

engineering/architectural design, inspection and verification of these elements as well as the

anticipated cost for professional service fees and permitting fees have been included.

Detailed descriptions of the proposed infrastructure improvements are provided as follows:

A. Drainage/Stormwater Management System

The stormwater management system improvements consist of a system of lakes,

interconnecting pipes, and control structures that provides both stormwater

retention and water quality improvements. These improvements were designed to

meet the permit criteria of the South Florida Water Management District

(SFWMD) and Collier County Development Services.

B. Roadways

The roadway improvements consist of the roadways of the community, and the

town center roadways. The subject roadways will serve the various land uses

Page 77: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

10

within the District. The subject road drainage systems and fill material will be

maintained by the District along with the base, pavement, curb sidewalks, signing

and striping. The District roadways will be constructed within platted rights-of-

way. It is currently estimated that approximately 133 miles of roadway will be

contained within the District.

C. Master Irrigation System

A Master Irrigation System will be constructed consisting of a distribution

pumping system consisting of individual pump stations which will send reclaimed

water to several service areas. The District will receive reclaimed water from the

Ave Maria Utility Company in lined irrigation reservoirs spaced throughout the

development. The District will distribute the reclaimed water along with

supplemental water from ground water wells at a minimum pressure of 45 psi to

all customers including commercial, residential, and community sites.

D. Landscaping

Landscaping will be provided for the roadways, perimeter berms, lake littoral

areas, and community entrances. The landscaping will consist of sod, annual

flowers, shrubs, groundcover, littoral plantings, trees, fencing, walls, fountains,

lighting and irrigation systems.

E. Mitigation and Restoration

The District will provide for mitigation and restoration of existing preservation

areas located throughout the development, and outside the development as

required by government approvals. The mitigation will be provided for

preservation areas that will be unavoidably disturbed by construction of the

project. Restoration, which will consist of removal and control of exotic species,

hydro-period restoration, and supplemental plantings, will be provided for

remaining preservation areas.

Page 78: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

11

F. Land Acquisition and Public Facilities

The District may acquire lands to be utilized for public purposes, consisting of

roadway rights-of-way, storm water management areas, parks, and community

areas. The District may construct various public service buildings consisting of

District office and meeting facilities, emergency services buildings, community

buildings. The District may also construct public schools, subject to approval of

the Collier County Public School Board.

G. Water and Waste Water Utilities

The District may acquire and assume maintenance and operation of the water and

wastewater utility system consisting of the treatment, collection, distribution, and

disposal facilities and infrastructure.

All District infrastructure will be designed and constructed to meet or exceed, as verified through

field inspection, the applicable State and Collier County standards in order to reduce unnecessary

maintenance and operation expenses.

Professional Services and Permitting Fees

Permit review fees may be required by Collier County, SWFWMD, COE, and any other state or

local agencies that impose fees for impact and plan reviews. These fees vary with the magnitude

of the impact and size of the Development phases. Additionally, engineering, surveying, and

landscape architecture, and facilities and management services are required for the design

permitting, construction inspection, monitoring and verification of constructed quality,

certifications, and management and operation of the District improvements.

VIII. OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COSTS

The following table presents a summary of the District financed improvements as described in

Section VII of this report. The Developer supplied cost estimates for all work required to

construct the project, separating the District management and operational funded items from the

Developer funded items. This information was used as a basis for the costs presented in the

Page 79: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

12

table. These costs were verified by the District Engineer's independent reviews.

Item Estimated Cost

Drainage/Stormwater Management System $135,000,000

Roadways $137,000,000

Master Irrigation System $25,000,000

Landscaping $74,000,000

Mitigation and Restoration $40,000,000

Land Acquisition and Public Facilities $50,000,000

Water and Waste Water Utilities $190,000,000

TOTAL $651,000,000

Note: The above items include engineering design, surveying, permitting and projectadministration costs. These costs are estimated at 15% of the actual costs.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The provision of infrastructure, including construction, to the Development, as outlined above, is

necessary for the development of the lands within the District, and, such infrastructure is located

within the boundary of the District except as may be required in any development order or any

agreement the District has with a general purpose local government. The planning and design

of the Development is in accordance with current governmental regulatory requirements.

Pursuant to its purpose, the District will provide the infrastructure as required by the

development so long as the construction is in substantial compliance with the design and permits

as verified by field review.

Items of construction cost in this report are based on current plan quantities for the infrastructure

construction for the entire Development as shown on the approved preliminary plans, drawings,

specifications and development requirements, last revision. It is my professional opinion that

the infrastructure costs provided herein for the Development are reasonable to complete the

construction of the Development described herein , and that the construction standards and

Page 80: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

13

methodology are such that they will facilitate future maintenance and operation of District

facilities, and that various components of the Development will benefit and add value to various

aspects of the District as will be defined in the assessment methodology report adopted by the

District. All such infrastructure cost are public improvements or community facilities as set

forth in Section 190.012 (1) and (2) of the Florida Statutes.

The Engineer recommends that in addition to the annual non-ad valorem assessments to be

levied and collected to pay debt service on the proposed bonds, the District should levy and

collect an annual Operating and Maintenance assessment to be determined, assessed and

levied by the District s Board of Supervisors upon the assessable real property within the District

for the purpose of defraying the cost and expenses of maintaining District-owned and maintained

improvements.

The estimate of the Development construction costs is only an estimate and not a guaranteed

maximum price. A portion of the cost is based on actual construction bids received by the

Developer. Where necessary, the estimated cost is based on historical unit prices or current

prices being experienced for on-going and similar types of work in the County, and quantities

as represented on the construction drawings. The labor market, future costs of equipment and

materials, and the actual construction process are all beyond our control. Due to this inherent

opportunity for fluctuation in cost, the total final cost may be more or less than this estimate.

The professional service for establishing the opinion of estimated construction cost is consistent

with the degree of care and skill exercised by members of the same profession under similar

circumstances.

Any amounts which constituteproceeds of the Bonds other than Available Construction Proceeds andamounts on deposit in a bona fide debt service fund will be subject to rebate.

As set forth in Section 148(f)(4)(C)(iii) of the Code, for purposes of theexpenditure requirements set forth in this Section 3(f), 100% of AvailableConstruction Proceeds of the Bonds shall be treated as expended for thegovernmental purposes of the issue within the 2-year period beginning on theIssue Date if such requirement is met within the 3-year period beginning onthe Issue Date and such requirement would have been met within such 2-year period but for a reasonable retainage (not exceeding 5% of the NetProceeds of the Bonds).

(g) The District shall keep proper books of records and accountscontaining complete and correct entries of all transactions relating to thereceipt, investment, disbursement, allocation and application of the moneysrelated to the Bonds, including moneys derived from, pledged to, or to be usedto make payments on the Bonds. Such records shall, at a minimum, beadequate to enable the District or its consultants to make the calculations forpayment of Rebatable Arbitrage as required by this Arbitrage RebateStatement. The records required to be maintained under this Section 3(g)shall be retained by the District until six years after the retirement of thelast obligation of the Bonds or for such other period as the United StatesTreasury may by regulations otherwise provide. Such records shall at leastspecify the account or fund to which each investment (or portion thereof) is tobe allocated and shall set forth, in the case of each investment security, (i) itspurchase price (including the amount of accrued interest to be statedseparately), (ii) identifying information, including par amount, coupon rate,and payment dates, (iii) the amount received at maturity or its sale price, asthe case may be, including accrued interest, (iv) the amounts and dates of anypayments made with respect thereto, (v) the dates of acquisition anddisposition or maturity, (vi) the amount of original issue discount or premium(if any), (vii) the frequency of periodic payments (and actual dates andamounts of receipts), (viii) the period of compounding, (ix) the transactioncosts (e.g., commissions) incurred in acquiring, carrying or disposing of theNonpurpose Investments, and (x) market price data sufficient to establish

that the purchase price (disposition price) was not greater than (less than)the arm's-length price (see Section 4 below) on the date of acquisition(disposition) or, if earlier, on the date of a binding contract to acquire (disposeof) such Nonpurpose Investment.

SSECTION 4. MARKET PRICE RULES. Except as provided below,the District agrees to comply with the requirements relating to the "FairMarket Value" of acquired Nonpurpose Investments, as defined in Section1.148-5(d) of the Regulations ("Fair Market Value"). All investmentsrequired to be made pursuant to these Covenants shall be made to the extentpermitted by law. In this regard, the District agrees, among other things,that it will not acquire or cause to be acquired a Nonpurpose Investment (orany other investment acquired with Gross Proceeds or on deposit in theRebate Account) for a price in excess of its Fair Market Value or sell any suchinvestment at a price (determined without any reduction for transactioncosts) less than its Fair Market Value, except as provided below. For thispurpose, the following rules shall apply:

(a) Established securities markets. Except as otherwise providedbelow, any market especially established to provide a security or obligation toan issuer of municipal obligations shall not be treated as an establishedmarket and shall be rebuttably presumed to be acquired or disposed of for aprice that is not its Fair Market Value.

(b) Arm's-length price. Any transaction in which a NonpurposeInvestment is directly purchased with Gross Proceeds, or in which aNonpurpose Investment allocable to Gross Proceeds is disposed of, shall beundertaken in an arm's-length manner, and no amount shall be paid toreduce the yield on the Nonpurpose Investment.

(c) Safe harbor for establishing Fair Market Value for guaranteedinvestment contracts and Nonpurpose Investments purchased for a yieldrestricted defeasance escrow. In the case of a guaranteed investmentcontract or Nonpurpose Investments purchased for a yield restricteddefeasance escrow, the purchase price shall not be considered to be an arm's-length price unless all the following conditions are met:

(i) The District makes a bona fide solicitation ("Bona FideSolicitation") for the purchase of the investment that satisfies all of thefollowing requirements:

Page 170: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

B-13

(1) The bid specifications are in writing and are timelyforwarded to potential providers;

(2) The bid specifications include all terms of the bid thatmay directly or indirectly affect the yield or the cost of the investment;

(3) The bid specifications include a statement notifyingpotential providers that submission of a bid is a representation that thepotential provider did not consult with any other potential provider about itsbid, that the bid was determined without regard to any other formal orinformal agreement that the potential provider has with the District or anyother person (whether or not in connection with the bond issue), and that thebid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the District or any otherperson for purposes of satisfying these requirements;

(4) The terms of the bid specifications are such thatthere is a legitimate business purpose for each term other than to increasethe purchase price or reduce the yield of the investment (e.g., for solicitationsof Nonpurpose Investments for a yield restricted defeasance escrow, the holdfirm period must be no longer than the District reasonably requires);

(5) For purchases of guaranteed investment contractsonly, the terms of the solicitation take into account the District's reasonablyexpected deposit and draw down schedule for the amounts to be invested;

(6) All potential providers have an equal opportunity tobid (e.g., no potential provider is given the opportunity to review other bidsbefore providing a bid); and

(7) At least three providers are solicited for bids thathave an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the typeof investments being purchased.

(ii) The bids received by the District must meet all of thefollowing requirements:

(1) The District receives at least three bids fromproviders that the District solicited under a Bona Fide Solicitation and thatdo not have a material financial interest in the issue. A lead underwriter in anegotiated underwriting transaction is deemed to have a material financialinterest in the issue until 15 days after the issue date of the issue. Inaddition, any entity acting as a financial advisor with respect to the purchaseof the investment at the time the bid specifications are forwarded to potential

B-14

providers has a material financial interest in the issue. A provider that is arelated party to a provider that has a material financial interest in the issueis deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue.

(2) At least one of the three bids described in paragraph(c) (ii)(1) above is from a provider that has an established industry reputationas a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased; and

(3) If the District uses an agent to conduct the biddingprocess, the agent did not bid to provide the investment.

(iii) The winning bid must meet the following requirements:

(1) Guaranteed investment contracts. If the investmentis a guaranteed investment contract, the winning bid is the highest yieldingbona fide bid (determined net of any broker's fees).

(2) Other Nonpurpose Investments. If the investment isnot a guaranteed investment contract, the following requirements are met:

(A) The winning bid is the lowest cost bona fide bid(including any broker's fees). The lowest bid is either the lowest cost bid forthe portfolio or, if the District compares the bids on an investment-by-investment basis, the aggregate cost of a portfolio comprised of the lowestcost bid for each investment. Any payment received by the District from aprovider at the time a guaranteed investment contract is purchased (e.g., anescrow float contract) for a yield restricted defeasance escrow under a biddingprocedure meeting these requirements is taken into account in determiningthe lowest cost bid.

(B) The lowest cost bona fide bid (including anybroker's fees) is not greater than the cost of the most efficient portfoliocomprised exclusively of State and Local Government Series Securities fromthe United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Public Debt. Thecost of the most efficient portfolio of State and Local Government SeriesSecurities is to be determined at the time that bids are required to besubmitted pursuant to the terms of the bid specifications. If such State andLocal Government Series Securities are not available for purchase on theday that bids are required to be submitted because sales of those securitieshave been suspended, the cost comparison described in this paragraph is notrequired.

(iv) The bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the purchaseagreement or the guaranteed investment contract deviated from the bidsolicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explainingthe deviation and stating the purpose for the deviation; and

(v) For purchase of Nonpurpose Investments other thanguaranteed investment contracts, the cost of the most efficient portfolio ofState and Local Government Series Securities, determined at the time thatthe bids were required to be submitted.

SSECTION 5. MODIFICATION UPON RECEIPT OF BONDCOUNSEL OPINION. Notwithstanding any provision of these Covenants, ifthe District shall receive an opinion of Bond Counsel that any specified actionrequired under these Covenants is no longer required or that some further ordifferent action is required to maintain or assure the exclusion from federalgross income of interest with respect to the Bonds, the District mayconclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of theseCovenants and the covenants herein shall be deemed to be modified to thatextent. These Covenants shall be amended or modified by the parties heretoin any manner which is necessary to comply with such regulations as may bepromulgated by the United States Treasury Department from time to time.

SSECTION 6. ACCOUNTING FOR GROSS PROCEEDS. In orderto perform the calculations required by the Code and the Regulations, it isnecessary to track the investment and expenditure of all Gross Proceeds. Tothat end, the District must adopt reasonable and consistently appliedmethods of accounting for all Gross Proceeds. Appendix I hereto sets forth adescription of the required allocation and accounting rules with which theDistrict agrees to comply.

SECTION 7. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF INVESTMENTS.Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, an allocation of GrossProceeds to a payment or receipt on a Nonpurpose Investment is not adjustedto take into account any costs or expenses paid, directly or indirectly, topurchase, carry, sell or retire the Nonpurpose Investment (administrativecosts). Thus, administrative costs generally do not increase the payments for,or reduce the receipts from, Nonpurpose Investments.

In determining payments and receipts on Nonpurpose Investments,Qualified Administrative Costs are taken into account by increasingpayments for, or reducing the receipts from, the Nonpurpose Investments.Qualified Administrative Costs are reasonable, direct administrative costs,other than carrying costs, such as separately stated brokerage or sellingcommissions, but not legal and accounting fees, recordkeeping, custody andsimilar costs. General overhead costs and similar indirect costs of theDistrict such as employee salaries and office expenses and costs associatedwith computing Rebatable Arbitrage are not Qualified Administrative Costs.

Allocation and accounting rules are provided in Appendix I attachedhereto.

AAPPENDIX I

ALLOCATION AND ACCOUNTING RULES

(a) General Rule. Any issuer may use any reasonable, consistentlyapplied accounting method to account for Gross Proceeds, investments andexpenditures of an issue. An accounting method is "consistently applied" if itis applied uniformly within a Fiscal Period (as hereinafter defined) andbetween Fiscal Periods to account for Gross Proceeds of an issue and anyamounts that are in a commingled fund.

(b) Allocation of Gross Proceeds to an Issue. Amounts are allocable toonly one issue at a time as Gross Proceeds. Amounts cease to be allocated toan issue as Proceeds only when those amounts (i) are allocated to anexpenditure for a governmental purpose; (ii) are allocated to TransferredProceeds of another issue of obligations; or (iii) cease to be allocated to thatissue at retirement of the issue or under the Universal Cap.

(c) Allocation of Gross Proceeds to Investments. Upon the purchaseor sale of a Nonpurpose Investment, Gross Proceeds of an issue are notallocated to a payment for that Nonpurpose Investment in an amount greaterthan, or to a receipt from that Nonpurpose Investment in an amount lessthan, the Fair Market Value of the Nonpurpose Investment as of thepurchase or sale date. The Fair Market Value of a Nonpurpose Investment isadjusted to take into account Qualified Administrative Costs allocable to theinvestment. Thus, Qualified Administrative Costs increase the payments for,or decrease the receipts from, a Nonpurpose Investment.

(d) Allocation of Gross Proceeds to Expenditures. Reasonableaccounting methods for allocating funds from different sources toexpenditures for the same governmental purpose include a "specific tracing"method, a "gross-proceeds-spent-first" method, a "first-in-first-out" method ora ratable allocation method, so long as the method used is consistentlyapplied. An allocation of Gross Proceeds of an issue to an expenditure mustinvolve a current outlay of cash for a governmental purpose of the issue. Acurrent outlay of cash means an outlay reasonably expected to occur not laterthan five banking days after the date as of which the allocation of GrossProceeds to the expenditure is made.

(e) Commingled Funds. Any fund or account that contains bothGross Proceeds of an issue and amounts in excess of $25,000 that are not

Page 175: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

B-18

Gross Proceeds of that issue if the amounts in the fund or account areinvested and accounted for collectively, without regard to the source of thefunds deposited therein, constitutes a "commingled fund." All payments andreceipts (including deemed payments and receipts) on investments held by acommingled fund must be allocated (but not necessarily distributed) amongeach different source of funds invested in the commingled fund in accordancewith a consistently applied, reasonable ratable allocation method.Reasonable ratable allocation methods include, without limitation, methodsthat allocate payments and receipts in proportion to either (i) the averagedaily balances of the amounts in the commingled fund from each differentsource of funds during any consistent time period within its fiscal year, but atleast quarterly (the "Fiscal Period"); or (ii) the average of the beginning andending balances of the amounts in the commingled fund from each differentsource of funds for a Fiscal Period that does not exceed one month.

Funds invested in the commingled fund may be allocated directly toexpenditures for governmental purposes pursuant to a reasonableconsistently applied accounting method. If a ratable allocation method isused to allocate expenditures from the commingled fund, the same ratableallocation method must be used to allocate payments and receipts oninvestments in the commingled fund.

Generally a commingled fund must treat all its investments as if soldat Fair Market Value either on the last day of the fiscal year or on the lastday of each Fiscal Period. The net gains or losses from these deemed sales ofinvestments must be allocated to each different source of funds invested inthe commingled fund during the period since the last allocation. This mark-to-market requirement does not apply if (i) the remaining weighted averagematurity of all investments held by a commingled fund during a particularfiscal year does not exceed 18 months, and the investments held by thecommingled fund during that fiscal year consist exclusively of obligations; or(ii) the commingled fund operated exclusively as a reserve fund, sinking fundor replacement fund for two or more issues of the same issuer. Subject to theUniversal Cap limitation, and the principle that amounts are allocable toonly one issue at a time as Gross Proceeds, investments held by acommingled fund must be allocated ratably among the issues served by thecommingled fund in proportion to either (i) the relative values of the bonds ofthose issues; (ii) the relative amounts of the remaining maximum annualdebt service requirements on the outstanding principal amounts of thoseissues; or (iii) the relative original stated principal amounts of theoutstanding issues.

Page 176: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

B-19

(f) Universal Cap. Amounts that would otherwise be Gross Proceedsallocable to an issue are allocated (and remain allocated) to the issue only tothe extent that the Value of the Nonpurpose Investments allocable to thoseGross Proceeds does not exceed the Value of all outstanding bonds of theissue. Nonpurpose Investments allocated to Gross Proceeds in a bona fidedebt service fund for an issue are not taken into account in determining theValue of the Nonpurpose Investments, and those Nonpurpose Investmentsremain allocated to the issue. To the extent that the Value of theNonpurpose Investments allocable to the Gross Proceeds of an issue exceedthe Value of all outstanding bonds of that issue, an issuer should seek theadvice of Bond Counsel for the procedures necessary to comply with theUniversal Cap.

(g) Expenditure for Working Capital Purposes. Subject to certainexceptions, the Proceeds of an issue may only be allocated to "working capitalexpenditures" as of any date to the extent that those expenditures exceed"available amounts" as of that date (i.e., "proceeds-spent-last").

For purposes of this section, "working capital expenditures" include allexpenditures other than "capital expenditures." "Capital expenditures" arecosts of a type properly chargeable (or chargeable upon proper election) to acapital account under general federal income tax principles. Such costsinclude, for example, costs incurred to acquire, construct or improve land,buildings and equipment having a reasonably expected useful life in excess ofone year. Thus, working capital expenditures include, among other things,expenditures for current operating expenses and debt service.

For purposes of this section, "available amount" means any amountthat is available to an issuer for working capital expenditure purposes of thetype financed by the issue. Available amount excludes Proceeds of the issuebut includes cash, investments and other amounts held in accounts orotherwise by an issuer for working capital expenditures of the type beingfinanced by the issue without legislative or judicial action and without alegislative, judicial or contractual requirement that those amounts bereimbursed. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a "reasonable workingcapital reserve" is treated as unavailable. A working capital reserve isreasonable if it does not exceed five percent of the actual working capitalexpenditures of an issuer in the fiscal year before the year in which thedetermination of available amounts is made. For purpose of the precedingsentence only, in determining the working capital expenditures of an issuerfor a prior fiscal year, any expenditures (whether capital or working capital

Page 177: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

B-20

expenditures) that are paid out of current revenues may be treated asworking capital expenditures.

The proceeds-spent-last requirement does not apply to expenditures topay (i) any Qualified Administrative Costs; (ii) fees for qualified guarantees ofthe issue or payments for a qualified hedge for the issue; (iii) interest on theissue for a period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the date thatis the later of three years from the Issue Date or one year after the date onwhich the financed project is placed in service; (iv) the United States for yieldreduction payments (including rebate payments) or penalties for the failureto meet the spend down requirements associated with certain spendingexceptions to the rebate requirement; (v) costs, other than those described in(i) through (iv) above, that do not exceed five percent of the Sale Proceeds ofan issue and that are directly related to capital expenditures financed by theissue (e.g., initial operating expenses for a new capital project); (vi) principalor interest on an issue paid from unexpected excess sale or InvestmentProceeds; (vii) principal or interest on an issue paid from investmentearnings on a reserve or replacement fund that are deposited in a bona fidedebt service fund; and (viii) principal, interest or redemption premium on aprior issue and, for a crossover refunding issue, interest on that issue.Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the exceptions described above donot apply if the allocation merely substitutes Gross Proceeds for otheramounts that would have been used to make those expenditures in a mannerthat gives rise to Replacement Proceeds.

FFORM OF OPINION OF NABORS, GIBLIN & NICKERSON, P.A.,WITH RESPECT TO THE SERIES 2012 BONDS

Upon delivery of the Series 2012 Bonds in definitive form, Nabors, Giblin&Nickerson, P.A., Tampa, Florida, Bond Counsel, proposes to render its opinionwith respect to such Series 2012 Bonds in substantially the following form:

(Date of Closing)

Board of SupervisorsAve Maria Stewardship Community District

Re: $29,100,000 Ave Maria Stewardship Community DistrictCapital Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series2012

We have served as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by Ave MariaStewardship Community District (the "District"), a public body, corporate and politic,and an independent, limited, special, and single purpose local government created andestablished under Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida, as amended (the "Act"), and anindependent special district, under section 189.404, Florida Statutes, as amended, ofits $29,100,000 Ave Maria Stewardship Community District Capital ImprovementRevenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (the “Series 2012 Bonds”). The Series 2012Bonds are being issued under and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State ofFlorida, a Master Trust Indenture (the "Master Indenture"), dated as of December 1,2006 and a Second Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2012(collectively, the Master Indenture as amended and supplemented by the SecondSupplemental Indenture is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture"), each from theDistrict to U.S. BankNational Association, Orlando, Florida as trustee (the "Trustee")and resolutions adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the District on June 12, 2006and May 16, 2012 (collectively, the "Bond Resolution"). The Series 2012 Bonds areissued for the purposes of: (i) currently refunding and redeeming all of theOutstandingprincipal amount of the District’s $26,220,000 Ave Maria Stewardship CommunityDistrict Bond Anticipation Bonds, Series 2006 (the “Series 2006 Bond AnticipationBonds”); (ii) paying certain costs associated with the issuance of the Series 2012 Bonds;

C-2

and (iii) making a deposit into the Series 2012 Reserve Account for the benefit of all ofthe Series 2012 Bonds. The Series 2012 Bonds refund Bonds which were validated byfinal judgment of the Circuit Court of Collier, Florida rendered on September 18, 2006,the appeal period for which has expired with no appeal having been taken. The Series2012 Bonds are payable from and secured by the Series 2012 Assessments on propertywithin the District specially benefited by the assessable improvements financed in partwith the proceeds of the Series 2006 Bond Anticipation Bonds, and also by the Series2012 Pledged Revenues and Series 2012 Pledged Funds comprising the Series 2012Trust Estate. We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and otherpapers as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion. Unless the contextindicates otherwise, all terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaningascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

The Series 2012 Bonds recite that neither the Series 2012 Bonds nor the interestand premium, if any, payable thereon shall constitute a general obligation or generalindebtedness of the District within the meaning of the Constitution and laws of theState of Florida. The Series 2012 Bonds and the interest and premium, if any, payablethereon do not constitute either a pledge of the full faith and credit of the District or alien upon any property of the District other than as provided in the Indentureauthorizing the issuance of the Series 2012 Bonds. NoOwner or any other person shallever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power of theDistrict or any other public authority or governmental body to pay debt service or topay any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Indenture or the Series2012 Bonds. Rather, debt service and any other amounts required to be paid pursuantto the Indenture or the Series 2012 Bonds, shall be payable solely from, and shall besecured solely by the Series 2012 Pledged Revenues, together with the Series 2012Pledged Funds comprising the Series 2012 Trust Estate pledged to the Series 2012Bonds, all as provided in the Series 2012 Bonds and in the Indenture.

The opinions set forth below are expressly limited to, and we opine only withrespect to, the laws of the State of Florida and the federal income tax laws of theUnited States of America.

On the basis of our review, we are of the opinion that:

1. The District has been duly established and validly exists as a public body,corporate and politic, and as an independent, limited, special, and single purpose localgovernment under the Act and as an independent special district, under section189.404, Florida Statutes, as amended.

2. The District has the right and power under the Act to authorize, executeand deliver the Indenture, and the Indenture has been duly and lawfully authorized,executed and delivered by the District, is in full force and effect and is valid and

Page 183: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

C-3

binding upon the District and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Indenturecreates the valid pledge which it purports to create of the Series 2012 Trust Estate,including the Series 2012 Assessments, in the manner and to the extent provided inthe Indenture.

3. The Series 2012 Bonds are the valid, binding, special obligations of theDistrict, enforceable in accordance with their terms and with the terms of theIndenture and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Act as amended tothe date hereof, and the Series 2012 Bonds have been duly and validly authorized andissued in accordance with law and the Indenture.

4. The Series 2012 Bonds and interest thereon are exempt from taxationunder the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed byChapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations ownedby corporations, as defined in said Chapter 220.

5. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, theinterest on the Series 2012 Bonds (a) is excluded from gross income for federal incometax purposes; and (b) is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federalalternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, it shouldbe noted that with respect to certain corporations, such interest is taken into account indetermining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternativeminimum tax imposed on such corporations. The opinion set forth in clause (a) aboveis subject to the condition that the Board comply with all requirements of the InternalRevenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuanceof the Series 2012 Bonds in order that interest thereon be (or continues to be) excludedfrom gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain ofsuch requirements could cause the interest on the Series 2012 Bonds to be so includedin gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2012 Bonds. TheDistrict has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Ownership of the Series2012 Bondsmay result in collateral federal tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Weexpress no opinion regarding such federal tax consequences arising with respect to theSeries 2012 Bonds.

The opinions expressed above as to enforceability may be limited by anyapplicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar lawsaffecting creditors' rights generally, or by the exercise of judicial discretion inaccordance with general principles of equity.

Except as may expressly be set forth in an opinion delivered by us to theunderwriters of the Series 2012 Bonds on the date hereof (upon which only they mayrely), (1) we have not been engaged or undertaken to review the accuracy, completenessor sufficiency of the Limited OfferingMemorandum or other offering material relating

Page 184: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

to the Series 2012 Bonds and we express no opinion relating thereto, and (2) we havenot been engaged or undertaken to review the compliance with laws of the State ofFlorida or the United States with regard to the sale or distribution of the Series 2012Bonds and we express no opinion relating thereto.

We have examined the form of the Series 2012 Bonds and, in our opinion, theform of the Series 2012 Bonds is regular and proper.

Very truly yours,NABORS, GIBLIN & NICKERSON, P.A.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This report provides a Master Assessment Methodology ("Assessment Methodology" or "Methodology") for the Ave Maria Stewardship District ("District"). The Methodology described herein has two goals: (1) determining the special and peculiar benefits that flow to the properties in the District as a logical connection from the infrastructure systems and facilities constituting enhanced use and increased enjoyment of the property; and (2) apportion the special benefits on a basis that is fair and reasonable. The District has adopted a Capital Improvements Program ("Improvement Plan" or "CIP") that will allow for the development of property within the District. The District plans to fund the CIP through a combination of debt financing with the proceeds of bonds payable from special assessments, bonds payable from revenues of various systems comprising a portion of the CIP and contributions of components of the CIP by the developer(s) and other parties, or combinations of the foregoing. Any debt repaid from the proceeds of non-ad valorem special assessments are intended to satisfy the statutory and Constitutional tests necessary and the two case law tests in order for such non-ad valorem special assessments to constitute liens, co-equal with the liens of State, County, municipal and school board taxes, against properties within the boundary of the District that receive special benefits from the CIP. The Methodology herein is intended to set forth a framework to apportion the special and peculiar benefits from the portions of the CIP financed with the proceeds bonds payable from and secured by non-ad valorem special assessments (the "Assessments") imposed and levied on the properties. The report is designed to conform to the requirements of the Constitution, Chapters 170 and 197, F.S. and Chapter 2004-461 , Laws of Florida with respect Assessments and is consistent with our understanding of the case law on this subject.

1.2 Background

The Ave Maria Stewardship District serves acreage within the Ave Maria Development of Regional Impact ("Ave Maria") acreage. Ave Maria is a mixed­use development on approximately 10,805 acres in unincorporated Collier County ("County"), Florida. Pursuant to the Development Order, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners has granted development rights for the anticipated development units within the District.

Page 223: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

The Town of Ave Maria within the District boundaries is anticipated to be developed over an estimated twenty-five year time frame. In general, the Town of Ave Maria will have a variety of multifamily and single family product types, commercial/retail space, office space, schools, churches, a university and recreational opportunities. Table 1 below outlines the Ave Maria development program.

Improvements undertaken by the District create both special benefits and general benefits. However, the general benefits to the public at large are incidental in nature and are readily distinguishable from the special and peculiar benefits which flow as a logical connection from the systems, facilities and services to property within the District in order to develop such property and use it for residential, commercial, educational and other purposes. Absent the District's CIP, there would be no infrastructure to support development of land within the District and such development would be prohibited by law.

While the general public and property owners outside the District will benefit from the provision of District infrastructure, these benefits are incidental to the benefits derived from property within the District's CIP which is dependent upon the District's Improvement Program to obtain, or to maintain, development entitlements. This fact alone clearly distinguishes the special and peculiar benefits which District properties receive compared to those properties lying outside of the District's boundaries and establishes that the CIP has a nexus to the value and the use and enjoyment of the lands within the District.

1.4 Requirements of a Valid Assessment Methodology

Valid special assessments under Florida law have two requirements. First, the properties assessed must receive a special and peculiar benefit as a logical connection from the systems and services constituting improvements. The courts recognize the special benefits which flow as a logical connection peculiar to the property as enhanced enjoyment and increased use of the property which in turn may result in decreased insurance premiums, increased value and marketability. Second, the assessments must be fairly and reasonably apportioned in relation to the benefit received by the various properties being assessed.

If these two tests for lienability are determined in a manner that is informed and non-arbitrary by the Board of Supervisors of the District, as a legislative determination, then the special assessments may be levied, imposed and collected as first liens on the property. Florida courts have found that it is not necessary to calculate benefit with mathematical precision at the time of imposition and levy so long as the levying and imposition process is not arbitrary, capricious, or unfair.

1.5 Scope of Report

The CIP and therefore the financing of the components thereof have been estimated by the District's Consulting Engineer based upon good faith estimates provided by the Developer of the development and related infrastructure provision program that will span a number of years. Accordingly, there can be no assurance on the date hereof that such costs are attainable. Moreover, it is not possible at this time to contemplate the entirety of the Development (hereinafter defined) with any particularity. Therefore, the estimated par value of bonds required will likely change. This Report is intended to establish a maximum benefit (unless altered by subsequent proceedings) based upon current knowledge and to establish a framework for subsequent Reports which will detail with greater specificity the apportionment of benefit peculiar to specific properties and land uses and which will be determined by subsequent proceedings of the District's Board in accordance with one of the many statutory methods set out in the District Act. The Act permits the District to establish separate phased units, which presumably will differ not only on the timing of their development, but also based upon the composition of the uses of property within each area and the differences in the special and peculiar benefits that each use receives. If and when the District issues bonds or other debt instruments to finance infrastructure one or more supplemental reports will be devised. The supplemental reports will describe the specific size and terms of the bonds or other debt being issued.

The Master Assessment Methodology must be used to determine the first lien status of the assessment to be imposed on the acreage. The fact that the property is acreage versus platted units in the beginning does not change the fundamental legal requirement of the Master Assessment Methodology for the imposition of the assessment as a lien on the property. Just as with the Master Assessment methodology, the supplemental assessment methodology reports will apply algorithms and the principles set forth in the act and related statutory methodology with more specificity to result in the actual levy of the assessments on platted parcels.

2.0 Finance Plan

2.1 Master Development Program

Ave Maria Development, LLLP is the "Master Developer" of the property within the District. The Master Developer will develop the land in preparation for selling land to third-party developers for development into Neighborhoods (which alone or together with other Neighborhoods will constitute phased units) as well as developing some of the residential and commercial projects themselves. The Town of Ave Maria Development Program for the District as detailed in Table 1. The Development Program is the matrix of the allowable uses under the Ave Maria DRI, which lies entirely within the District boundaries.

Development within the District will consist of a variety of single family and multifamily residential unit types, office and commercial/retail square footage, hotels, churches, schools, recreational facilities including parks and golf courses, event parking, and other uses. As the Ave Maria community progresses in its development and the District issues bonds to fund infrastructure, supplemental assessment reports will be developed that will detail the particulars for an assessment area from a specific bond issue, together with the special and peculiar benefits to the lands benefited by the portions of the CIP financed with that issue, establishing the logical connection flowing from the system, facility and service to the property.

2.2 Capital Improvement Program

The District Engineer has identified certain infrastructure that may be provided by the District and has provided a cost estimate for the District's CIP. The CIP is detailed in the Master Capital Improvement Program for the Ave Maria Community Stewardship District dated April 19, 2006 as prepared by Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc.

The C/P consists of roadways, the drainage/storm water management system, master irrigation system, landscaping, mitigation and restoration, land acquisition and public facilities and water and wastewater utilities that will be developed along with the community.

2.3 Local Infrastructure

As property is developed, roads, water and sewer, stormwater management, recreation and other public infrastructure systems facilities and services may be authorized by applicable law to be financed, constructed, acquired, owned and/or operated by the District and, with respect to which the District may levy and impose Assessments. Those facilities and the special benefits peculiar to the property, in this case the acreage which precedes any platting of the property, are comprised of drainage and stormwater management system, roadways, master irrigation system, landscaping, mitigation and restoration, land acquisition and public facilities, and water and waste water utilities. The Act contemplates the financing of such infrastructure from time to time within platted units within the District and any such Assessments must be imposed and levied pursuant to separate and distinct proceedings under the Act and then applicable law.

2.4 Bond Requirements

The District intends to finance a portion of the CIP by issuing bonds. These bonds will be issued in one or more series. A number of items comprise the final par bond requirements. These items may include but are not limited to capitalized interest, a debt service reserve fund, underwriter's discount, and issuance costs. For purposes of this Methodology, allowances have been made for such items.

3.0 Assessment Methodology

3.1 Structure- Master Infrastructure Improvements

Special and peculiar benefits flow as a logical connection to the property from the systems, facilities and services provided as a logical consequence to the property within the boundary of the District. These special benefits are peculiar to the acreage and later down to the actual platted units or parcel. The special benefits that justify imposing the assessment on the acreage include enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums when levied on the various platted units or parcels of property. First the District Engineer identifies the CIP costs then the Assessment Methodology Consultant allocates those costs and debt per acre (and later in the process per parcel) for the provision of the systems and facilities, which constitute the CIP. The best determination involves whether there is a special benefit peculiar to such property, different in kind and degree that any general benefit, so long as the special benefit flows peculiar to the property as a logical connection from the components of the CIP. Then a dollar amount of a proposed assessment is identified using various formulas. Then there is a determination of whether that dollar amount itself can be a first lien later to be levied on the platted units. Then there is an apportionment of the benefits so that no dollar amount as assessment exceeds any determination of special and peculiar benefit to the property and that the amount levied on different property owners is fair and reasonable.

Page 228: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

The District's engineer determines the costs for the CIP and an estimate of the bond amount required to finance the CIP is calculated. The Assessment Methodology associated with the CIP is a two-step process. First, the special and peculiar benefits of the CIP will be determined and imposed upon the undeveloped land within the District. Second, the per acre Assessments previously imposed will be levied on to developed and platted parcels within assessment areas for the applicable phased units in accordance with the more specific uses and special benefits peculiar to each platted parcel in the supplemental methodology reports.

3.2 Initial Apportionment of Benefits from Systems, Facilities and Services constituting the CIP as a system of improvements to land currently undeveloped Acres

Initially, the District is comprised of a bundle of undeveloped acres with the potential for development pursuant to, and consistent with, the DRI, but upon the acquisition, construction, installation, equipping operation and maintenance of certain infrastructure. The District's CIP identifies the master Infrastructure Improvements needed for the Development pursuant to the DRI which will transform the undeveloped acres into developed platted parcels. Therefore, initially, there is a system of interlinked improvements necessary in order to develop each developable acre within the District, and, because the specific development cannot be initially determined on any one acre of land, each acre of land is benefited equally. This "proportionate per acre" special benefit from the systems and facilities constituting the components of the CIP is illustrated by the fact that if all of the land were sold in its undeveloped state, its value to a willing buyer would be as a whole and would include the value of the land with development rights from the DRI, adjusted for the cost of development (of which the CIP would be a significant component) and further adjusted for parcel­specific development costs. Thus, each acre would be valued equally since, until development is located, development could presumably occur on any one acre as on any other. These special benefits are peculiar to the acres of property within the District, are assessed and imposed equally and are real even though there is no platted parcel. As development occurs and development rights are absorbed by some acres and other acres are put to other uses, including public uses, the value of the remaining acres and acres put to other uses is adjusted to reflect the development rights (and corresponding infrastructure benefits) which have been used and the effect that those uses have on the remaining undeveloped acres. As supplemental reports are issued, as described above, such reports will take into account the relative benefits derived from the use and enjoyment of the property which is given to the developed and platted property and that which is retained in the yet to be developed property.

Page 229: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

The foregoing discussion demonstrates that the systems, facilities and services constituting the CIP result in special benefits peculiar to the property, whether the property is in acreage or in platted parcels. Such special and peculiar benefits include enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums. The dollar amount of these special and peculiar benefits is not known but is capable of being computed with mathematical certainty in the future. As of the date of this assessment, the dollar amount of the special assessment levy per acre is $75,905.15.

3.3 Assignment of Assessments

It is useful to consider three broad states or conditions of development within the District. The initial condition is the "unplatted state". At this point infrastructure may or may not be installed but in general, home sites or other development units have not been defined and all of the developable land within the District is considered unplatted acreage ("Unplatted Acres"). In the unplatted state, all of the lands within the District receive benefit from the components of the financed CIP and assessments would be imposed upon all of the land within the District on an equal acre basis to repay the bonds.

The second condition is the interim or "approved state". At this point, a developer would have received approval for a site development plan from the County. By virtue of the County granting an approval for its site development plan for a neighborhood or non-residential land, certain development rights are committed to and peculiar to that Neighborhood or non-residential land, thereby changing the character and value of the land by enhancing the capacity of the Unplatted Acres within a neighborhood or the non-residential land with the special and peculiar benefits flowing from components of the District's CIP and establishing the requisite Jlogical connection for the flow of the special benefits peculiar to the property, while also incurring at the same time a corresponding increase in the responsibility for the payment of the levied assessment to amortize its portion of the debt associated with those improvements. Therefore, if the District has issued bonds to fund a portion of the CIP at the time a neighborhood or non-'residential land receives site development plan approval , in the event that District issues bonds which have or will benefit the lands within such area, the District will designate such area, or in combination with other such areas, as an assessment area, and, pursuant to a supplemental assessment methodology report, allocate a portion of this debt to such assessment area in the "approved state". In all cases, appropriate credit shall be given for infrastructure comprising a portion of the CIP that is donated or contributed in lieu of assessments.

Page 230: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

This apportionment of benefit in such supplemental methodology report shall be based on accepted practices for the fair and equitable apportionment of special and peculiar benefits in accordance with then applicable law and the procedure for the imposition, levy and collection of non ad valorem special assessments as set forth in the District Act and in conformity with the Constitution and law of the State applicable to such assessments.

Development enters its third and "platted state", as property is platted. Land becomes platted property ("Platted Property") when single family units are platted or multifamily and non-residential land uses receive a building permit and a separate tax parcel identification number is issued for such parcel. At this point, and only at this point, is the use and enjoyment of the property fixed and determinable and it is only at this point that the ultimate special and peculiar benefit can be determined flowing from the components of the CIP peculiar to such platted parcel. At this point, a specific apportionment of assessment will be fixed and determinable from the supplemental assessment report.

3.4 True-Up Mechanism- Master Infrastructure

Until such time as bonds are issued, the lien of the Assessments imposed pursuant to this methodology are inchoate ("Inchoate Assessments"), meaning that the lien of the Assessments cannot exceed the amount established hereby but that such lien will not be activated until bonds are issued which represent a charge and liability against the Inchoate Assessment amount. In essence, the Inchoate Assessment represents an upper limit on the Assessments. As bonds are issued and all, or a portion of, the Assessment becomes a liability for the repayment of a proportionate portion of the bonded debt, the Assessments are collectible to the extent set forth in the supplemental assessment methodology issued in correspondence to such bonds ("Funded Assessments").

In order to assure that the Funded Assessment per acre for the benefits from the CIP will not be disproportionately apportioned to any acre, each supplemental methodology shall apply a "true up" test, to ensure that, due to the level of development on any one parcel of land, the Assessments on any other parcel of land cannot exceed the special and peculiar benefit which can be apportioned to such parcel in accordance with any then-applicable assessment methodology.

4.0 Assessment Determination

4.1 Special and Peculiar Benefit to the Property

Construction and/or acquisition by the District of its proposed CIP constituting systems, facilities and services which are provided in differing amounts and are dependent on the type of land use receiving the special benefits peculiar to those properties which flow from the logical relationship to the properties.

One example of this differentiation is the concept that various land uses will generate differing demands on the District's proposed roadway infrastructure. Another example is that it can be demonstrated that each land use will receive a different level of surface water benefit that relates to that land use's density and intensity of development.

These determinations are reviewed in the light of the special and peculiar benefits peculiar to the property which flow to the properties as a result of their logical connection from the improvements in fact actually provided .

The special and peculiar benefits within an assessment area of a phased unit shall be determined relative to each parcel of land and identified for each improvement in accordance with a supplemental methodology report.

There are certain portions of the property such as public and private utility sites within the District boundary that will receive special and peculiar benefits in varying degrees from the component systems and facilities of the District's CIP. Those special and peculiar benefits will be determined in the future through supplemental assessment methodology reports. One example of this type of property is the Lee County Electrical Coop power line easement and adjacent substation land that is there purely for the provision of electrical power to the site and related sites along their transmission system. Another example is the private utility company for the Town of Ave Maria that will provide water and waste water treatment facilities.

The Board in their discretion may elect to exempt these properties from the duty to pay for their portion of the special and peculiar benefits and to the degree that this decision affects the payment of debt that funds these special · and peculiar benefits, will seek to offset this reduced cash flow through other methods including the contribution of additional CIP or lands from the land owner.

Page 232: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

4.2 Reasonable and Fair Apportionment of the Duty to Pay

The special and peculiar benefits from the component systems and facilities of the District's CIP have been determined and apportioned to the undeveloped land on an equal acre basis. As land receives certain development approvals as described in this Report, the benefits will be apportioned as provided in supplemental methodology reports

The duty to pay the non-ad valorem special assessments during the initial period as set forth above is fairly and reasonably apportioned because the special and peculiar benefits to the property flowing from the acquisition and/or construction of the District's CIP (and the concomitant responsibility for the payment of the resultant and allocated debt) have been apportioned to the property according to the reasonable estimates of the special and peculiar benefits including enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums and conferred on the land as provided by the District's CIP for the reasons set forth above.

Accordingly, no acre of property within the District will be assessed for the payment of any non-ad valorem special assessment pursuant to this Master Methodology in an amount greater than the determined special benefit peculiar to that property and having a nexus to the value of the property or the use and enjoyment thereof.

5.0 Assessment Roll

As described above, the debt associated with the District's CIP will be initially distributed on an equal acreage basis across all of the undeveloped, acreage within the District. As development units are defined (Platted Property) they will be assessed in the manner described herein, which may not be on a relatively equal basis with the special assessments as provided for in the Supplemental Assessment Methodology Reports.

The following Appendix I shows the initial assessments on a per acre basis for the CIP. The acreage shown represents 100% of the gross acreage within the District.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This report supplements the Ave Maria Stewardship District Master Assessment Methodology report ("Master Methodology") dated March 15, 2006 and previously approved by the Board of Supervisors of the Ave Maria Stewardship District (the "District") at its meeting on June 12, 2006. The Master Methodology allocates the debt to be incurred by the District to provide infrastructure improvements to properties in the District. This Ave Maria DRI Sub-Master Report ("Sub-Master Methodology") shows how the Master Methodology is applied in the context of defining the Ave Maria DRI (as described herein sub-assessment area boundaries, its Capital Improvement Program, its development program and how the inchoate debt initially defined in the Master Methodology is proportionately allocated over the newly defined acreage.

The Methodology described herein and in the Master Methodology have two goals: (1) determining the special and peculiar benefits that flow to the properties in the District as a logical connection from the infrastructure systems and facilities constituting enhanced use and increased enjoyment of the property; and (2) apportion the special benefits on a basis that is fair and reasonable. The District has adopted a master Capital Improvements Program ("Improvement Plan" or "CIP") that will allow for the development of property within the District. The District plans to fund the CIP through a combination of debt financing with the proceeds of bonds payable from special assessments, bonds payable from revenues of various systems comprising a portion of the CIP and contributions of components of the CIP by the developer(s) and other parties, or combinations of the foregoing. Any debt repaid from the proceeds of non-ad valorem special assessments are intended to satisfy the statutory and Constitutional tests necessary and the two case law tests in order for such non­ad valorem special assessments to constitute liens, co-equal with the liens of State, County, municipal and school board taxes, against properties within the boundary of the District that receive special benefits from the CIP. The Methodology herein is intended to set forth a framework to apportion the special and peculiar benefits from the portions of the CIP financed with the proceeds bonds payable from and secured by non-ad valorem special assessments (the "Assessments") imposed and levied on the properties. The report is designed to conform to the requirements of the Constitution, Chapters 170 and 197, F.S. and Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida with respect Assessments and is consistent with our understanding of the case law on this subject.

1.2 Background

The acreage contained within the Town of Ave Maria Development of Regional Impact No. 05-01 (the "Ave Maria DRI") is wholly contained within the boundaries of the District. The Ave Maria DRI is a mixed-use development on approximately 5,027 acres in unincorporated Collier County ("County"), Florida. Pursuant to the Ave Maria DRI development order, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners has granted development rights for the anticipated development units within the District.

The Ave Maria DRI is anticipated to be developed over an estimated eleven year time frame. In general, the Ave Maria DRI will have a variety of multifamily and single family product types, commercial/retail space, office space, schools, churches, a university and recreational opportunities. Table 1 below outlines the Ave Maria development program.

Total 9,814

450 690,000 510,000

35,000 400

6,000 2,400

Improvements undertaken by the District create both special benefits and general benefits: However, the general benefits to the public at large are incidental in nature and are readily distinguishable from the special and peculiar benefits which flow as a logical connection from the systems, facilities and services to property within the District in order to develop such property and use it for residential ; commercial, educational and other purposes. Absent the District's CIP, there would be no infrastructure to support development of land within the District and such development would be prohibited by law.

Page 238: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

While the general public and property owners outside the District will benefit from the provision of District infrastructure, these benefits are incidental to the benefits derived from property within the District's CIP which is dependent upon the District's Improvement Program to obtain, or to maintain, development entitlements. This fact alone clearly distinguishes the special and peculiar benefits which District properties receive compared to those properties lying outside of the District's boundaries and establishes that the CIP has a nexus to the value and the use and enjoyment of the lands within the District.

1 .4 Requirements of a Valid Assessment Methodology

Valid special assessments under Florida law have two requirements. First, the properties assessed must receive a special and peculiar benefit as a logical connection from the systems and services constituting improvements. The courts recognize the special benefits which flow as a logical connection peculiar to the property as enhanced enjoyment and increased use of the property which in turn may result in decreased insurance premiums, increased value and marketability. Second, the assessments must be fairly and reasonably apportioned in relation to the benefit received by the various properties being assessed.

If these two tests for lienability are determined in a manner that is informed and non-arbitrary by the Board of Supervisors of the District, as a legislative determination, then the special assessments may be levied, imposed and collected as first liens on the property. Florida courts have found that it is not necessary to calculate benefit with mathematical precision at the time of imposition and levy so long as the levying and imposition process is not arbitrary, capricious, or unfair.

1.5 Scope of Report

The Ave Maria DRI CIP and therefore the financing of the components thereof have been estimated by the District's Consulting Engineer as documented in the Sub-Master Supplemental Engineer's Report dated November 14, 2006. Accordingly, there can be no assurance on the date hereof that such costs are attainable. Moreover, it is not possible_at this time to contemplate the entirety of the Development (hereinafter defined) with any particularity. Therefore, the estimated par value of bonds required will likely change.

Page 239: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

This Report is intended to apportion the maximum benefit (unless altered by subsequent proceedings) for the Ave Maria DRI based upon current knowledge and to establish a framework for subsequent Ave Maria DRI Reports which will detail with greater specificity the apportionment of benefit peculiar to specific properties and land uses and which will be determined by subsequent proceedings of the District's Board in accordance with one of the many statutory methods set out in the District Act. The Act permits the District to establish separate phased units, which presumably will differ not only on the timing of their development, but also based upon the composition of the uses of property within each area and the differences in the special and peculiar benefits that each use receives. If and when the District issues bonds or other debt instruments to finance infrastructure one or more supplemental reports will be devised. The supplemental reports will describe the specific size and terms of the bonds or other debt being issued.

The Master Assessment Methodology must be used to determine the first lien status of the assessment to be imposed on the acreage. The fact that the property is acreage versus platted units in the beginning does not change the fundamental legal requirement of the Master Assessment Methodology for the imposition of the assessment as a lien on the property. Just as with the Master Assessment methodology, the supplemental assessment methodology reports will apply algorithms and the principles set forth in the act and related statutory methodology with more specificity to result in the actual levy of the assessments on platted parcels.

2.0 Finance Plan

2.1 Ave Maria DRI Development Program

Ave Maria Development, LLLP is the ~·Master Developer" of the property within the District. The Master Developer will develop the Ave Maria DRI lands in preparation for selling land to third-party developers for development into neighborhoods (which alone or together with other neighborhoods will constitute phased units} as well as developing some of the residential and commercial projects themselves. The Ave Maria DRI Development Program within the District is detailed in Table 1 and is the matrix of the allowable uses under the Ave Maria DRI.

Development within the Ave Maria DRI will consist of a variety of single family and multifamily residential unit types, office and commercial/retail square footage, hotels, churches, schools, recreational facilities including parks and golf courses, event parking, and other uses.

Page 240: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

As the Ave Maria DRI community progresses in its development and the District issues bonds to fund infrastructure, supplemental assessment reports will be developed that will detail the particulars for an assessment area from a specific bond issue, together with the special and peculiar benefits to the lands benefited by the portions of the Ave Maria DRI CIP financed with that issue, establishing the logical connection flowing from the system, facility and service to the property.

2.2 Ave Maria DRI Financing Program

Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc., ("District Engineer") has identified certain Master infrastructure that may be provided ·by the District and has provided a cost estimate for the District's CIP. The Master CIP is detailed in the Master Capital Improvement Program for the Ave Maria Community Stewardship District dated April 19, 2006 as prepared by the District Engineer.

The Master CIP consists of roadways, the drainage/storm water management system, master irrigation system, landscaping, mitigation and restoration, land acquisition and public facilities and water and wastewater utilities that will be developed along with the community.

Through this Sub-Master Methodology Report, a portion of the debt required to fund the Master CIP is being allocated to the Ave Maria DRI acreage on a percentage basis using a proportionate share of acreage method. Since the Ave Maria DRI acreage (5,027) is 46.52% of the total District acreage (10,805), 46.52% of the Master inchoate lien established in the Master Methodology Assessment proceedings has been allocated to the Ave Maria DRI area (the "Ave Maria DRIInchoate Lien").

Table 2 of this Sub-Master Methodology report summarizes the method and inchoate lien apportionment to the Ave Maria DRI acreage.

2.3 Local Infrastructure

As property is developed, roads, water and sewer, stormwater management, recreation and other public infrastructure systems facilities and services may be authorized by applicable law to be financed, constructed, acquired, owned and/or operated by the District and, with respect to which the District may levy and impose Assessments. Those facilities and the special benefits peculiar to the property, in this case the acreage which precedes any platting of the property, are comprised of drainage and stormwater management system, roadways, master irrigation system, landscaping, mitigation and restoration, land acquisition and public facilities, and water and waste water utilities. The Act contemplates the financing of such infrastructure from time to time within platted units within the District and any such Assessments must be imposed and levied pursuant to separate and distinct proceedings under the Act and then applicable law.

3.0 Assessment Methodology

3.1 Structure- Master Infrastructure Improvements

Special and peculiar benefits flow as a logical connection to the property from the systems, facilities and services provided as a logical consequence to the property within the boundary of the District. These special benefits are peculiar to the acreage and later down to the actual platted units or parcel. The special benefits that justify imposing the assessment on the acreage include enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums when levied on the various platted units or parcels of property. First the District Engineer identifies the Ave Maria DRI CIP costs then the Assessment Methodology Consultant allocates those costs and debt per acre (and later in the process per parcel) for the provision of the systems and facilities, which constitute the Ave Maria DRI CIP. The best determination involves whether there is a special benefit peculiar to such property, different in kind and degree that any general benefit, so long as the special benefit flows peculiar to the property as a logical connection from the components of the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Then a dollar amount of a proposed assessment is identified using various formulas. Then there is a determination of whether that dollar amount itself can be a first lien later to be levied on the platted units. Then there is an apportionment of the benefits so that no dollar amount as assessment exceeds any determination of special and peculiar benefit to the property and that the amount levied on different property owners is fair and reasonable.

The District's engineer determines the costs for the Ave Maria DRI CIP and an estimate of the bond amount required to finance the Ave Maria DRI CIP is calculated. The Assessment Methodology associated with the Ave Maria DRI CIP is a two-step process. First, the special and peculiar benefits of the Ave Maria DRI ClP will be determined and imposed upon the undeveloped land within the District. Second, the per acre Assessments previously imposed will be levied on to developed and platted parcels within assessment areas for the applicable phased units in accordance with the more specific uses and special benefits peculiar to each platted parcel in the supplemental methodology reports.

3.2 Initial Apportionment of Benefits from Systems, Facilities and Services constituting the Ave Maria ClP as a system of improvements to land that is currently in an undeveloped state

Initially, the District is comprised of a bundle of undeveloped acres with the potential for development pursuant to, and consistent with, the DRI, but upon the acquisition, construction, installation, equipping operation and maintenance of certain infrastructure. The District's Ave Maria DRI ClP identifies the master Infrastructure Improvements needed for the Development pursuant to the DRI which will transform the undeveloped acres into developed platted parcels. Therefore, initially, there is a system of interlinked improvements necessary in order to develop each developable acre within the District, and, because the specific development cannot be initially determined on any one acre of land, each acre of land is benefited equally. This "proportionate per acre" special benefit from the systems and facilities constituting the components of the Ave Maria DRI CIP is illustrated by the fact that if all of the land were sold in its undeveloped state, its value to a willing buyer would be as a whole and would include the value of the land with development rights from the DRI, adjusted for the cost of development (of whjch the Ave Maria DRI CIP would be a significant component} and further adjusted for parcel-specific development costs. Thus, each acre would be valued equally since, until development is located; development could presumably occur on any one acre as on any other. These special benefits are peculiar to the acres of property within the District, are assessed and imposed equally and are real even though there is no platted parcel. As development occurs and development rights are absorbed by some acres and other acres are put to other uses, including public uses, the value of the remaining acres and acres put to other uses is adjusted to reflect the development rights (and corresponding infrastructure benefits} which have been used and the effect that those uses have on the remaining undeveloped acres. As supplemental reports are issued, as described above, such reports will take into account the relative benefits derived from the use and enjoyment of the property which is given to the developed and platted property and that which is retained in the yet to be developed property.

Page 243: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

The systems, facilities and services constituting the Ave Maria DRI CIP result in special benefits peculiar to the property, whether the property is in acreage or in platted parcels. Such special and peculiar benefits include enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums. The dollar amount of these special and peculiar benefits is not known but is capable of being computed with mathematical certainty in the future. As of the date of this assessment, the dollar amount of the special assessment levy per acre remains $75,905.15 as outlined in the Master Methodology.

3.3 Assignment of Assessments

It is useful to consider three broad states or conditions of development within the District. The initial condition is the "unplatted state". At this point infrastructure may or may not be installed but in general, home sites or other development units have not been defined and all of the developable land within the District is considered unplatted acreage ("Unplatted Acres"). In the unplatted state, all of the lands within the District receive benefit from the components of the financed Ave Maria DRI CIP and assessments would be imposed upon all of the land within the District on an equal acre basis to repay the bonds.

The second condition is the interim or "approved state". At this point, a developer would have received approval for a site development plan from the County. By virtue of the County granting an approval for its site development plan for a neighborhood or non-residential land, certain development rights are committed to and peculiar to that Neighborhood or non-residential land, thereby changing the character and value of the land by enhancing the capacity of the Unplatted Acres within a neighborhood or the non-residential land. with the special and peculiar benefits flowing from components of the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP and establishing the requisite logical connection for the flow of the special benefits peculiar to the property, while also incurring at the same time a corresponding increase in the responsibility for the payment of the levied assessment to amortize its portion of the debt associated with those improvements. Therefore, if the District has issued bonds to fund a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP at the time a neighborhood or non-residential land receives site development plan approval, in the event that District issues bonds which have or will benefit the lands within such area, the District will designate such area, or in combination with other such areas, as an assessment area, and, pursuant to a supplemental assessment methodology report, allocate a portion of this debt to such assessment area in the "approved state". In all cases, appropriate credit shall be given for infrastructure comprising a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP that is donated or contributed in lieu of assessments.

Page 244: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

This apportionment of benefit in such supplemental methodology report shall be based on accepted practices for the fair and equitable apportionment of special and peculiar benefits in accordance with then applicable law and the procedure for the imposition, levy and collection of non ad valorem special assessments as set forth in the District Act and in conformity with the Constitution and law of the State applicable to such assessments.

Development enters its third and "platted state", as property is platted. Land becomes platted property ("Platted Property") when single family units are platted or multifamily and non-residential land uses receive a building permit and a separate tax parcel identification number is issued for such parcel. At this point, and only at this point, is the use and enjoyment of the property fixed and determinable and it is only at this point that the ultimate special and peculiar benefit can be determined flowing from the components of the Ave Maria DRI CIP peculiar to such platted parcel. At this point, a specific apportionment of assessment will be fixed and determinable from the supplemental assessment report.

3.4 True-Up Mechanism - Master Infrastructure

Until such time as bonds are issued, the lien of the Assessments imposed pursuant to this methodology are inchoate ("Inchoate Assessments"), meaning that the lien of the Assessments cannot exceed the amount .established hereby but that such lien will not be activated until bonds are issued which represent a charge and liability against the Inchoate Assessment amount. In essence, the Inchoate Assessment represents an upper limit on the Assessments. As bonds are issued and all, or a portion of, the Assessment becomes a liability for the repayment of a proportionate portion of the bonded debt, the Assessments are collectible to the extent set forth in the supplemental assessment methodology issued in correspondence to such bonds ("Funded Assessments").

In order to assure that the Funded Assessment per acre for the benefits from the Ave Maria DRI CIP will not be disproportionately apportioned to any acre, each supplemental methodology shall apply a "true up" test, to ensure that, due to the level of development on any one parcel of land, the Assessments on any other parcel of land cannot exceed the special and peculiar benefit which can be apportioned to such parcel in accordance with any then-applicable assessment methodology.

4.0 Assessment Determination

4.1 Special and Peculiar Benefit to the Property

Construction and/or acquisition by the District of its proposed Ave Maria DRI CIP constituting systems, facilities and services which are provided in differing amounts and are dependent on the type of land use receiving the special benefits peculiar to those properties which flow from the logical relationship to the properties.

One example of this differentiation is the. concept that various land uses will generate differing demands on the District's proposed roadway infrastructure. Another example is that it can be demonstrated that each land use will receive a different level of surface water benefit that relates to that land use's density and intensity of development.

These determinations are reviewed in the light of the special and peculiar benefits peculiar to the property which flow to the properties as a result of their logical connection from the improvements in fact actually provided.

The special and peculiar benefits within an assessment area of a phased unit shall be determined relative to each parcel of land and identified for each improvement in accordance with a supplemental methodology report.

There are certain portions of the property such as public and private utility sites within the District boundary that will receive special and peculiar benefits in varying degrees from the component systems and facilities of the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP. Those special and peculiar benefits will be determined in the future through supplemental assessment methodology reports. One example of this type of property is the Lee County Electrical Coop power line easement and adjacent substation land that is there purely for the provision of electrical power to the site and related sites along their transmission system. Another example is the private utility company for the Ave Maria community that will provide water and waste water treatment facilities.

The Board in their discretion may elect to exempt these properties from the duty to pay for their portion of the special and peculiar benefits and to the degree that this decision affects the payment of debt that funds these special and peculiar benefits, will seek to offset this reduced cash flow through other methods including the contribution of additional Ave Maria DRI CIP or lands from the land owner.

4.2 Reasonable and Fair Apportionment of the Duty to Pay

The special and peculiar benefits from the component systems and facilities of the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP have been determined and apportioned to the undeveloped land on an equal acre basis. As land receives certain development approvals as described in this Report, the benefits will be apportioned as provided in supplemental methodology reports

The duty to pay the non-ad valorem special assessments during the initial period as set forth above is fairly and reasonably apportioned because the special and peculiar benefits to the property flowing from the acquisition and/or construction of the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP (and the concomitant responsibility for the payment of the resultant and allocated debt) have been apportioned to the property according to the reasonable estimates of the special and peculiar benefits including enhanced enjoyment and increased use, which may result in such positive consequences as increased value and marketability and decreased insurance premiums and conferred on the land as provided by the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP for the reasons set forth above.

Accordingly, no acre of property within the District will be assessed for the payment of any non-ad valorem special assessment pursuant to this Master Methodology in an amount greater than the determined special benefit peculiar to that property and having a nexus to the value of the property or the use and enjoyment thereof.

5.0 Assessment Roll

As described above, the debt associated with the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP will be initially distributed on an equal acreage basis across all of the undeveloped, acreage within the District. As development units are defined {Platted Property) they will be assessed in the manner described herein, which may not be on a relatively equal basis with the special assessments as provided for in the Supplemental Assessment Methodology Reports.

The following Appendix I shows the initial assessments on a per acre basis for the CIP. The acreage shown represents 100% ofthe gross acreage within the District.

(Note: This tax toll will be adjusted down to cover the Ave Maria DRI sub­master supplemental report acreage {5,027 acres less the contributed acres) and will be adopted prior to bond closing.

FIRST SUB-MASTER FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

AVE MARIA STEWARDSHIP DISTRICT

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This report (the "Sub-Master First Supplemental") supplements the Master Assessment Methodology Report ("Master Methodology") dated and approved June 6, 2006 and the Sub-Master Methodology Report ("Sub­Master Methodology") dated and approved November 14, 2006. The Master Methodology allocates the debt to be incurred by the District to provide certain master infrastructure improvements to properties in the District while the Sub-Master Methodology further refines that debt allocation to the Ave Maria DRI acreage. The Sub-Master First Supplemental also determines the special and peculiar benefits arising from the costs outlined in the Supplemental Sub-Master Engineer's Report adopted November 14, 2006, as revised November 27, 2006 ("Supplemental Engineer's Report") and that flow to the parcels of land within the District. Those benefits peculiar to the property are then apportioned in a manner that is fair and reasonable. Finally, the Sub­Master First Supplemental determines that none of the actual capital improvement assessments being levied exceed the special and peculiar benefits arising from the use and enjoyment of such improvements.

The District intends to issue Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2006A (the "2006A Bonds") and Bond Anticipation Bonds (the "2006 BASs"), collectively (the "Bonds") to fund a portion of the Ave Maria DRI master improvements as more fully described in the Sub-Master Supplemental Engineer's Report dated November 14, 2006.

1.2 Background

The acreage contained within the Town of Ave Maria Development of Regional Impact No. 05-01 (the "Ave Maria DRI") is wholly contained within the boundaries of the District. The Ave Maria DRI is a mixed-use development on approximately 5,027 acres in unincorporated Collier County ("County"), Florida. Pursuant to the Ave Maria DRI, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners granted certain development rights for the anticipated development within the District.

The Ave Maria DRI is anticipated to be developed over an estimated eleven year time frame. In general, Ave Maria will have a variety of multifamily and single family product types, commercial/retail space, office space, schools, churches, a university and recreational opportunities. Table 1 below outlines the Ave Maria DRI development program.

1.3 Use of Specific Numbers within the Tables of the Supplemental Methodology

Great diligence has been used to define the components of the Development Program defined in Table 1, the estimated par bond requirements shown in Tables 3, and the Par Debt Allocations shown in Table 5. The Ave Maria DRI Development Program, the par value of bonds, and the resultant allocations are subject to change. They are used within this report to illustrate the application of the algorithms and principles used in the Sub-Master First Supplemental.

2.0 Finance Plan

2.1 Ave Maria DRI Capital Improvement Program

As stated, the District Engineer has identified certain infrastructure that may be provided by the District and has provided a cost estimate for the District's Ave Maria DRI CIP. Details of the Ave Maria DRI CIP can be found in the District Engineer's Supplemental Engineer's Report. Table 2 on the next page summarizes the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

2.3 Bond Requirements

The District intends to finance all or a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP by issuing one or more series of short or long term bonds. A number of items comprise the final par bond requirements. The source of repayment for the 2006A Bonds are long term assessments on benefiting properties while the 2006 BASs are short term debt instruments that (in essence) convert to long-term bonds once the additional permanent "A" bonds are issued to redeem the 2006 BASs. The proceeds of the Bonds will provide the funding for a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Allowances have been made for capitalized interest, debt service reserve, underwriter's discount, issuance costs, and rounding. Table 3 on the next page illustrates the bond sizing to fund a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

3.0 Assessment Methodology

3.1 Structure

The Sub-Master First Supplemental is a three-step process. First the District's engineer determines the costs for the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Secondly, the Methodology Consultant ("MC") will determine the amount of bonds required to finance the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Third, the special and peculiar benefits flow from the Ave Maria DRI CIP to land parcels within the District. To determine these benefits the District engineer first estimates the costs for all systems and facilities needed to support the Ave Maria DRI Development Program. Then the costs for all improvements are bonded and allocated to the benefited properties. The MC then apportions fairly and reasonably the special and peculiar benefits that flow to the properties. The Sub-Master First Supplemental detailed herein provides the mechanism by which the costs and debt were allocated and the special and peculiar benefits were apportioned to the assessable acres within the District for levy and collection.

3.2 Assessment Allocation

The District is undertaking the responsibility of providing all or a portion of the master infrastructure to support vertical development within the Ave Maria DRI. As designed, the Ave Maria DRI CIP is an integrated system of improvements that confer special and peculiar benefits to the lands within the District.

3.3 The 2006A Bond Assessments

The District shall allocate the costs and debt to provide the Ave Maria DRI CIP to the Development Program. In the case of the Ave Maria DRI, the primary measurement is trip generation since the Ave Maria DRI CIP is heavily focused on road construction. In addition, the irrigation infrastructure parallels the roadways and the land acquisition component of the Ave Maria DRI largely associated with these uses.

The MC utilized trip generation figures from the International Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation book as applied to the various land categories being developed within the District (see Table 4). From there, the MC applied an internal trip generation discount to the appropriate uses within the District where many of those trips will remain within each development node and will not have to go out to the main roadways within the District to get to services since Ave Maria is designed as a "walkable community".

The percentage of actual trips generated was calculated after the discount. From that point of departure, the MC calculated the percentage of trips that represent the portion of the special and peculiar benefit apportioned to the low affordable housing, assisted living apartments, the retail/entertainment/service component, professional office, hotel, medical facilities and Ave Maria University. The fair and equitable share of debt apportioned to the low .affordable housing, assisted living apartments, the retail/entertainment/service component, professional office, hotel, medical facilities and Ave Maria University is being extinguished pre-financing by a real property contribution in lieu of assessments to the District effectuated by Ave Maria Development, LLC as described herein. Accordingly, the trips as a percentage of the total discounted trips for those uses were reallocated over the remaining uses so that the remaining land use categories were apportioned their fair and equitable share of the debt.

3.4 Real Property Contributions

In order to implement the Ave Maria DRI CIP, it is in the District's best interest to obtain certain parcels of real property. The cost of acquiring such property is incorporated and documented in the Supplemental Engineer's Report of project costs. The owner of the necessary real property has agreed to transfer title for such property to the District in return for a reduction or corresponding credit to special assessments to be levied upon benefited properties retained by the landowner. The value of the property to be transferred to the District is appraised at $19,572,909. Therefore, that amount is reflected as a credit to the project cost, prior to financing to extinguish anticipated liens for certain properties and uses set forth in schedule.

Based on the foregoing and this benefit analysis, each residential and non-residential use that is developed within the District will have some benefit arising from the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Table 4 below shows the combined benefit apportionment percentage on a per unit basis for each unit within the Development Program.

Special attention needs to be made with regard to any recreational or homeowner association facility currently planned for the Project. Those facilities directly benefit from the Ave Maria DRI CIP. However, pursuant to Chapter 193.0235, Florida Statutes, any benefit to the common elements resulting from the CIP are exempt from assessments. Therefore, such facilities have not been included in this methodology and accordingly, any benefit arising from the Ave Maria DRI CIP is prorated accordingly against the remaining assessable lands within the District.

3.5 The 2006 BAB Assessments

As previously discussed, the District is issuing Bond Anticipation Bonds which it is anticipated will be redeemed and replaced by Bonds of the District to be issued in the future to correspond to and supplement the development program and construction of the Ave Maria DRI CIP. At the time the Bonds are issued to redeem and replace the 2006 BABs, it is intended that a further supplemental assessment methodology will allocate benefits and the corresponding debt in order to establish assessments payable from that date in no more than thirty annual installments of principal and interest. The District has caused interest to be funded on the 2006 BABs for a period of three (3) years (the "Funded Capitalized Interest"), the maximum amount permitted to be funded from the proceeds of Bonds under federal tax law. In the event that Bonds have not been issued to replace the 2006 BABs after the expenditure of the Funded Capitalized Interest, Assessments shall be collected by the District to fund the additional interest ("Unfunded Capitalized Interest") on the 2006 BABs until their maturity or redemption.

Because this Unfunded Capitalized Interest represents carry costs on the otherwise assessable improvements which have not been allocated to platted parcels, the assessments in respect to the Unfunded Capitalized Interest shall be imposed and levied on the unplatted property within the Ave Maria DRI on a per acre basis in the same manner and in the same proportion as the 2006A Bond Assessments which have not yet been allocated to platted parcels. In addition, in order to ensure a source of repayment of the 2006 BASs in the event that Bonds are not issued to refund and replace the 2006 BASs, there is imposed an assessment in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof, which shall become due and payable on the due date of the 2006 BASs. Such assessment corresponding to the unpaid principal amount of the 2006 BASs shall be apportioned in the same manner as the Unfunded Capitalized Interest Assessments imposed in respect of the 2006 BASs.

Because, absent the restrictions imposed by federal tax law, the District could have avoided the collection of the assessments corresponding to the Unfunded Capitalized Interest on the 2006 BASs, the assessments corresponding to the Unfunded Capitalized Interest on the 2006 BASs shall be treated for all purposes as a separate assessable improvement and shall not affect the ability to collect assessments for the other components of the Ave Maria DRI CIP other than the Unfunded Capitalized Interest on the 2006 BASs in thirty (30) annual installments of principal and interest.

4.0 Reasonable and Fair Apportionment of the Duty to Pay

A reasonable estimate of the proportion of special and peculiar benefits received from the improvements is expressed in residential units in Table 5.

The determination has been made that the duty to pay the non-ad valorem special assessments and the determined special and peculiar benefits are fairly and reasonably apportioned because the special and peculiar benefits to the property deriving from the acquisition and/or construction of the District's improvements (and the concomitant responsibility for the payment of the resultant and allocated debt) have been apportioned to the property according to reasonable estimates of the special and peculiar benefits provided consistent with each land use category.

9

Page 259: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

Accordingly, no acre or parcel of property within the boundary of the District will be assessed for the payment of any non-ad valorem special assessment more than the determined special benefit peculiar to that property.

The per unit allocation amounts in Table 5 represent the anticipated per unit debt allocations assuming all anticipated residential units are built in the proportions planned, and the entire proposed Infrastructure Program is developed or acquired and financed by the District.

5.0 True-Up Mechanism

In order to assure that the District's debt will not build up on the remaining undeveloped acres as the development progresses, the District shall apply the following true up test.

The test is that the debt per acre remaining on the undeveloped acres is never allowed to increase above its ceiling debt per acre level. Initially, the ceiling level of debt per acre is calculated as the total amount of debt for the Ave Maria DRI CIP divided by the number of acres within the Sub­Master District Boundaries. In this case the ceiling is calculated as $102,125,000 divided by the 5,027 acres in the Sub-Master boundaries, equaling $20,315 per acre. Thus, every time the test is applied the debt on the unallocated Units must remain equal to or lower than $20,315 per acre. If not, the District would require a density reduction payme11t in an amount sufficient to reduce the remaining debt per acre to the ceiling amount.

This test shall be applied at the time 50% of the Units within the District are platted. The second test shall be applied at the time 75% of the Units within the District are platted. The third test shall be .applied at the time 90% of the Units within the District are platted. Table 7 shows the true-up allocations at each particular test period. A True Up test may also be applicable if, after the project is entirely platted, the development plan changes requiring an amendment to existing plats within the District. Since all of the property has been platted and the debt assigned, the true­up tests described above will only be applicable if there are amendments to the existing plat that result in a different Unit count or configuration. Table 7 on the next page shows the true-up mechanism at each time interval .

If at the time the 50%, 75% or 90% tests are given it is determined that the ceiling debt is breached, the District may suspend the true up payment if the landowners can show that there is sufficient development potential in the remaining acreage to build the densities required to amortize the bonds. A determination of the suspension of a required true up payment will be made at the sole discretion of the District.

5.1 Clarifications and Amplifications

All assessments levied run with the land. It is the responsibility of the landowner of record to make or cause to be made any required true up payments due. The District will not release any liens on property for which true up payments are due until provision for such payment has been satisfactorily made.

The owner of record at the time the annual assessment roll is developed will have the responsibility to make the annual assessment payments, but in all cases true up payments must be made to enable the District to meet its. de~t service obligations.

A determination of a true up payment will be at the sole discretion of the District. Prior to platting, all assessable acreage will be assessed on a per acre basis.

6.0 Assessment Roll

As described above, the debt associated with the Ave Maria DRI CIP will be initially distributed on an equal acreage basis across all of the benefiting acreage within the District. As plats are approved lots will be assessed in the manner described herein.

The following Appendix I Tax Roll shows the initial assessments on a per acre basis for the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

________________________________________________________________

SECOND SUB-MASTERFINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

AVE MARIA STEWARDSHIP COMMUNITY DISTRICT ________________________________________________________________

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

This report (the “Sub-Master Second Supplemental”) supplements the Master Assessment Methodology Report (“Master Methodology”) dated and approved June 6, 2006 and the Sub-Master Methodology Report (“Sub-Master Methodology”) dated and approved November 14, 2006. The Master Methodology determines the validity of the assessments and allocates the debt to be incurred by the District to provide certain master infrastructure improvements to properties in the District while the Sub-Master Methodology further refines that debt allocation to the Ave Maria DRI acreage. The Sub-Master Second Supplemental also determines the special and peculiar benefits arising from the Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”) outlined in the Supplemental Sub-Master Engineer’s Report adopted November 14, 2006, as revised November 27, 2006 (“Supplemental Engineer’s Report”) and that flow to the parcels of land within the District. Those benefits are then apportioned peculiar to the property in a manner that is fair and reasonable. Finally, the Sub-Master Second Supplemental determines that none of the actual capital improvement assessments being levied exceed the special and peculiar benefits.

The District intends to issue Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A Bonds (the “2012A Bonds”) that will replace the Series 2006 Bond Anticipation Bonds (the “2006 BABs”) that are maturing on November ___, 2012 and are being redeemed with the 2012A Bonds, to fund a portion of the Ave Maria DRI master improvements as more fully described in the Sub-Master Supplemental Engineer’s Report dated November 14, 2006.

The determination of the special and peculiar benefits and allocation of debt is a normal process that is fully contemplated based on what happened in 2006 and is for existing improvements and has nothing to do with any new undertaking.

1.2 Background

The acreage contained within the Town of Ave Maria Development of Regional Impact No. 05-01 (the “Ave Maria DRI”) is wholly contained within the boundaries of the District. The Ave Maria DRI is a mixed-use development on approximately 5,027 acres in unincorporated Collier County (“County”), Florida. Pursuant to the Ave Maria DRI, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners granted certain development rights for the anticipated development within the District.

The Ave Maria DRI has been under development for five (5) years and is anticipated to be fully developed over a remaining estimated 15 year time frame. Overall, Ave Maria will have a variety of multifamily and single family product types, commercial/retail space, office space, schools, churches, a university and recreational opportunities. Table 1 below outlines the full Ave Maria DRI development program.

2.0 Finance Plan

2.1 Ave Maria DRI Capital Improvement Program

As stated, the District Engineer has identified certain infrastructure that may be provided by the District and has provided a cost estimate for the District’s Ave Maria DRI CIP. Details of the Ave Maria DRI CIP can be found in the District Engineer’s Supplemental Engineer’s Report. Table 2 below summarizes the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

2.3 Bond Requirements

The District has financed most of the Ave Maria DRI CIP by issuing the Series 2006A and Series 2006BABs. A number of items comprise the final par bond requirements. The source of repayment for the 2006A Bonds are long term assessments that have been imposed and levied on specially benefiting properties and the source of repayment for the 2012A Bonds will also be long term assessments that will be imposed and levied on the specially benefitting properties as determined by this Sub-Master Second Supplemental report. The proceeds of the Bonds have provided the funding for a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Allowances have been made for capitalized interest, debt service reserve, underwriter’s discount, issuance costs, and rounding. Table 3 on the next page illustrates the 2012A bond sizing that has been used to fund a portion of the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

Assessment Methodology

3.1 Structure

The Sub-Master Second Supplemental is a three-step process. First the District’s engineer determines the costs for the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Secondly, the Methodology Consultant (“MC”) will determine the amount of bonds required to finance the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Third, the special benefits flow from the Ave Maria DRI CIP peculiar to land parcels within the District. In order for the MC to determ ine these benefits the District engineer first estimates the costs for all systems and facilities needed to support the Ave Maria DRI Development Program. Then the costs for all improvements are bonded and allocated to the benefited properties. The MC determines and then apportions fairly and reasonably the special and benefits that flow peculiar to the properties. The Sub-Master Second Supplemental detailed herein provides the mechanism by which the costs and debt were allocated and the special and peculiar benefits were determined and apportioned to the assessable acres within the District for levy and collection. The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District Board of Supervisors will make the actual determinations and apportionment and may use this assessment methodology to do so.

3.2 Assessment Allocation

The District is undertaking the responsibility of providing all or a portion of the master infrastructure to support vertical development within the Ave Maria DRI. As designed, the Ave Maria DRI CIP is an integrated system of improvements that confer special and peculiar benefits to the lands within the District.

3.3 The 2012A Bond Assessments

The District shall allocate the costs and debt to provide the Ave Maria DRI CIP to the Development Program. In the case of the Ave Maria DRI, the primary measurement is trip generation since the Ave Maria DRI CIP is heavily focused on road construction. In addition, the irrigation infrastructure parallels the roadways and the land acquisition component of the Ave Maria DRI largely associated with these uses.

The MC utilized trip generation figures from the International Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation book as applied to the various land categories being developed within the District (see Table 4). From there, the MC applied an internal trip generation discount to the appropriate uses within the District where many of those trips will remain within each development node and will not have to go out to the main roadways within the District to get to services since Ave Maria is designed as a “walkable community”.

The percentage of actual trips generated was calculated after the discount. From that point of departure, the MC calculated the percentage of trips that represent the portion of the special and peculiar benefit apportioned to the low affordable housing, assisted living apartments, the retail/entertainment/service component, professional office, hotel, medical facilities and Ave Maria University. The fair and equitable share of debt allocation to the low affordable housing, assisted living apartments, the retail/entertainment/service component, professional office, hotel, medical facilities and Ave Maria University was extinguished pre-financing by a real property contribution in lieu of assessments to the District effectuated by Ave Maria Development, LLC as described herein. Accordingly, the trips as a percentage of the total discounted trips for those uses were reallocated over the remaining uses so that the remaining land use categories were allocated their fair and equitable share of the debt.

The proportionate special benefit is peculiar to the property. The determinate special benefits flow from the CIP. It is a Logical connection from the CIP. Added use and enhanced enjoyment of the property are two of those special to the property. The special benefits are then apportioned, fairly and reasonable, resulting in the proportionate magnitude special benefit peculiar to the properties. The dollar amount of the assessment does not exceed the value of the benefit.

3.4 Real Property Contributions

In order to implement the Ave Maria DRI CIP, it is in the District’s best interest to obtain certain parcels of real property. The cost of acquiring such property is incorporated and documented in the Supplemental Engineer’s Report of project costs. The owner of the necessary real property transferred title for such property to the District in return for a reduction or corresponding credit to special assessments that were imposed and levied upon benefited properties that received special and peculiar benefit. The value of the property that was transferred to the District is appraised at $19,572,909. Therefore, that amount is reflected as a credit to the project cost, prior to financing to extinguish anticipated liens for certain properties and uses set forth in Table 5.

Based on the foregoing and this special benefit analysis, each property for residential and non-residential use that is developed within the District will have some benefit arising from the Ave Maria DRI CIP. Table 4 on the next page shows the combined special benefit apportionment percentage on a per unit basis peculiar to each unit within the Development Program.

Special attention needs to be made with regard to any recreational or homeowner association facility currently planned for the Project. The properties for facilities directly received special and peculiar benefit from the Ave Maria DRI CIP. However, pursuant to Section 193.0235, Florida Statutes, the owner of the common elements that receives any special and peculiar benefit from the CIP are exempt from assessments. Therefore, such facilities have not been included in this methodology and accordingly, any special and peculiar benefit flowing from the Ave Maria DRI CIP is apportioned accordingly against the remaining assessable lands within the District.

4.0 Reasonable and Fair Apportionment of the Special Benefits Peculiar to the Property

A reasonable estimate of the proportion of special and peculiar benefits received from the improvements is expressed in residential units in Table 5.

The determination has been made that the duty to pay the non-ad valorem special assessments and the determined special benefits are fairly and reasonably apportioned peculiar to the property within each land use category.

Page 273: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District · No broker, dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the District or the Underwriter (each as defined herein) to give

10

Accordingly, no acre or parcel of property within the boundary of the District will be assessed for the payment of any non-ad valorem special assessment more than the determined special benefit peculiar to that property.

The per unit allocation amounts in Table 5 represent the anticipated per unit debt allocations assuming all anticipated residential units are built in the proportions planned, and the entire proposed Infrastructure Program is developed or acquired and financed by the District.

5.0 True-Up Mechanism

In order to assure that the District’s debt will not build up on the remaining undeveloped acres as the development progresses, the District shall apply the following true up test.

The test is that the debt per acre remaining on the undeveloped acres is never allowed to increase above its ceiling debt per acre level. Initially, the ceiling level of debt per acre is calculated as the total amount of debt for the Ave Maria DRI CIP divided by the number of acres within the Sub-Master District Boundaries. In this case the ceiling is calculated as $102,125,000 divided by the 5,027 acres in the Sub-Master boundaries, equaling $20,315 per acre. Thus, every time the test is applied the debt on the unallocated Units must remain equal to or lower than $20,315 per acre. If not, the District would require a density reduction payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the remaining debt per acre to the ceiling amount.

This test shall be applied at the time 50% of the Units within the District are platted. The second test shall be applied at the time 75% of the Units within the District are platted. The third test shall be applied at the time 90% of the Units within the District are platted. Table 7 shows the true-up allocations at each particular test period. A True Up test may also be applicable if, after the project is entirely platted, the development plan changes requiring an amendment to existing plats within the District. Since all of the property has been platted and the debt assigned, the true-up tests described above will only be applicable if there are amendments to the existing plat that result in a different Unit count or configuration. Table 7 on the next page shows the true-up mechanism at each time interval.

Debt Per Acre $20,315 $20,315 $20,315 Source: Fishkind & Associates, Inc.

If at the time the 50%, 75% or 90% tests are given it is determined that the ceiling debt is breached, the District may suspend the true up payment if the landowners can show that there is sufficient development potential in the remaining acreage to build the densities required to amortize the bonds. A determination of the suspension of a required true up payment will be made at the sole discretion of the District.

5.1 Clarifications and Amplifications

All assessments levied run with the land. It is the responsibility of the landowner of record to make or cause to be made any required true up payments due. The District will not release any liens on property for which true up payments are due until provision for such payment has been satisfactorily made. The owner of record at the time the annual assessment roll is developed will have the responsibility to make the annual assessment payments, but in all cases true up payments must be made to enable the District to meet its debt service obligations. A determination of a true up payment will be at the sole discretion of the District. Prior to platting, all assessable acreage will be assessed on a per acre basis.

6.0 Assessment Roll

As described above, the debt associated with the Ave Maria DRI CIP will be initially distributed on an equal acreage basis across all of the acreage within the District. Each acre within the District will be assessed equally since, until development is located, development could presumably occur on any one acre as on any other. As plats are approved lots will be assessed in the manner described herein.

The following Appendix I Tax Roll shows the initial assessments on a per acre basis for the Ave Maria DRI CIP.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Our discussion and analysis of Ave Maria Stewardship Community District, Collier County, Florida (the “District”) provides a narrative overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s Independent Auditor’s Report, basic financial statements, accompanying notes and supplementary information to the basic financial statements.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year resulting in a net asset balance of $10,914,315.

The change in the District’s total net assets in comparison with the prior year was ($1,307,571), a decrease. The key components of the District’s net assets and change in net assets are reflected in the table in the government-wide financial analysis section.

At September 30, 2011, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $4,258,740, an increase of $64,428 in comparison with the prior year. A portion of fund balance is restricted for debt service and capital projects and the remainder is unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the District’s discretion.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as the introduction to the District’s basic financial statements. The District’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Government-Wide Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

The statement of net assets presents information on all the District’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.

The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.

The government-wide financial statements include all governmental activities that are principally supported by Developer contributions and assessment revenues. The District does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activities of the District include the general government (management) and maintenance functions.

Fund Financial Statements

A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The District has one fund category: governmental funds.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Governmental Funds

Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a District’s near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the District’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The District maintains three individual governmental funds for external reporting. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service fund and capital projects funds. The general, debt service and capital project funds are all considered to be major funds.

The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget.

Notes to the Financial Statements

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the case of the District, assets exceeded liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

Key components of the District’s net assets are reflected in the following table:

2011 2010Assets, excluding capital assets 5,344,421$ 5,428,508$ Capital assets, net of depreciation 58,019,043 59,809,806Total assets 63,363,464 65,238,314Liabilities, excluding long-term liabilities 1,244,149 1,366,428 Long-term liabilities 51,205,000 51,650,000Total liabilities 52,449,149 53,016,428Net assetsInvested in capital assets, net of related debt 7,713,520 9,095,023 Restricted for debt service 2,841,725 2,887,845 Unrestricted 359,070 239,018 Total net assets 10,914,315$ 12,221,886$

NET ASSETSSEPTEMBER 30,

The District’s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, land improvements, and infrastructure); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Continued)

The restricted portion of the District’s net assets represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets may be used to meet the District’s other obligations.

The District’s net assets decreased during the most recent fiscal year. The majority of the decrease represents the extent to which the cost of operations and depreciation expense exceeded ongoing program revenues.

Key elements of the change in net assets are reflected in the following table:

2011 2010Revenues:Program revenues

Charges for services 1,336,994$ 1,319,938$ Operating grants and contributions 3,351,644 3,533,269 Capital grants and contributions - 2,054,000

CHANGES IN NET ASSETSFOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,

As noted above and in the statement of activities, the cost of all governmental activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was $6,001,984. The majority of the costs of the District’s activities were paid by program revenues. Program revenues comprised primarily of assessments, reclaimed water revenue, and Developer contributions. The majority of the decrease in program revenues is due to the receipt of non-cash contributions from the Developer in the form of land conveyed to the District in a prior fiscal year, which did not occur in the current fiscal year.

GENERAL BUDGETING HIGHLIGHTSAn operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The general fund budget for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was amended to decrease revenues by $298,780 and decrease appropriations by $167,147. The decrease in revenues is primarily the result of lower Developer contributions and the decrease in appropriations is primarily due to lower maintenance and operations and payroll. Actualgeneral fund expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The variance between budgeted and actual general fund revenues for the 2011 fiscal year is the result of additional Developer contributions. The actual general fund expenditures for the 2011 fiscal year were lower than budgeted amounts due primarily to anticipated costs which were not incurred in the current fiscal year.

AVE MARIA STEWARDSHIP COMMUNITY DISTRICT COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING ENTITY

Ave Maria Stewardship Community District ("District") was created by the Florida Legislature (Chapter 2004-461) on April 23, 2004 and became effective on June 17, 2004, pursuant to Chapter 189, Florida Statutes.

The District was established for the purposes of providing the public infrastructure and managing the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of all or a portion of the infrastructure necessary for community development within the District.

The District is governed by the Board of Supervisors ("Board"), which is composed of five members. The Supervisors are elected on an at large basis by the owners of the property within the District. Ownership of land within the District entitles the owner to one vote per acre. The Board of Supervisors of the District exercise all powers granted to the District pursuant to Chapter 2004-461 and other appropriate Florida Statutes. One of the Board members is affiliated with Ave Maria Development LLLP (“Developer”).

The Board has the final responsibility for: 1. Assessing and levying assessments. 2. Approving budgets. 3. Exercising control over facilities and properties. 4. Controlling the use of funds generated by the District. 5. Approving the hiring and firing of key personnel. 6. Financing improvements.

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement 14, and Statement 39, an amendment of GASB Statement 14. Under the provisions of those standards, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, organizations for which the District Board of Supervisors is considered to be financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that, if excluded, the financial statements of the District would be considered incomplete or misleading. There are no entities considered to be component units of the District; therefore, the financial statements include only the operations of the District.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Government-Wide and Fund Financial StatementsThe basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements.

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; operating-type special assessments for maintenance and debt service are treated as charges for services and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement PresentationThe government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are to be recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focusand the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.

AssessmentsAssessments are non-ad valorem assessments on certain land and all platted lots within the District. Assessments are levied each November 1 on property of record as of the previous January. The fiscal year for which annual assessments are levied begins on October 1 with discounts available for payments through February 28 and become delinquent on April 1. For debt service assessments, amounts collected as advance payments are used to prepay a portion of the Bonds outstanding. Otherwise, assessments are collected annually to provide funds for the debt service on the portion of the Bonds which are not paid with prepaid assessments.

Assessments and interest associated with the current fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. The portion of assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

The District reports the following major governmental funds:

General FundThe general fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Debt Service FundThe debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the annual payment of principal and interest on long-term debt.

Capital Projects FundThis fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major infrastructure within the District.

As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources first for qualifying expenditures, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Restricted AssetsThese assets represent cash and investments set aside pursuant to Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity

Deposits and InvestmentsThe District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing).

The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 (17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following:

a) The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act;

b) Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;

c) Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.

Securities listed in paragraph c and d shall be invested to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. In addition, surplus funds may be deposited into certificates of deposit which are insured and any unspent Bond proceeds are required to be held in investments as specified in the Bond Indenture.

The District records all interest revenue related to investment activities in the respective funds and reports investments at fair value.

Capital AssetsCapital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks and similar items) is reported in the government activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Property, plant and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets YearsRoadway Improvements 25 Master Irrigation System 25 Mitigation and Restoration 25 Stormwater Management 25

In the governmental fund financial statements, amounts incurred for the acquisition of capital assets are reported as fund expenditures. Depreciation expense is not reported in the governmental fund financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)

Deferred ChargesIn connection with the issuance of certain debt, the District incurred costs totaling $1,072,209. In the government-wide financial statements that amount has been capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the Bonds. At September 30, 2011 the District reported accumulated amortization of $172,744.

Deferred Revenue Governmental funds report deferred revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Governmental funds also defer revenue recognition in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned.

Long-Term ObligationsIn the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized ratably over the life of the Bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

Fund Equity/Net AssetsIn the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Under GASB 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, fund balances are required to be reported according to the following classifications:

Non-spendable fund balance – Amounts that are (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. “Not in spendable form” includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash (such as inventories and prepaid amounts) and items such as long-term amount of loans and notes receivable, as well as property acquired for resale. The corpus (or principal) of a permanent fund is an example of an amount that is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted fund balance – Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by (a) external resource providers such as creditors (by debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category.

Assigned fund balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors of the District through the District’s Fund Balance Policy that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)

Fund Equity/Net Assets (Continued)

Unassigned fund balance – Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the general fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund. Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.

The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

Net assets in the government-wide financial statements are categorized as invested in capital assets, net of related debt, restricted or unrestricted. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt represents net assets related to infrastructure and property, plant and equipment, net of any related debt. Restricted net assets represent the assets restricted by the District’s Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions.

Other Disclosures

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – BUDGETARY INFORMATION

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.

The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements.

a) Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1.

b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments. c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board. d) All budget changes must be approved by the District Board. e) The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. f) Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year.

17

NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

DepositsThe District’s cash balances were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or by a collateral pool pledged to the State Treasurer. Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act", requires all qualified depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to various percentages of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally, U.S. Governmental and agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository's financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses.

InvestmentsThe District’s investments were held as follows at September 30, 2011:

Investment Fair Value Credit Risk MaturitiesFirst American Government Obligation Funds Class Y 457,664$ S&P AAAm

Average of the fund portfolio: 50 days

Federal National Mortgage Association Strips 521,283 S&P AAA 9/15/2012Federal National Mortgage Association MTN 1,110,000 S&P AA+ 9/28/2016Federal Home Loan Bks 550,000 S&P AA+ 9/16/2016

Total Investments 2,638,947$

Custodial risk – For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of the investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District has no formal policy for custodial risk. The money market funds are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form. The remaining investments are held by the trustee or agent but not in the District’s name.

Credit risk – For investments, credit risk is generally the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investment ratings by investment type are included in the preceding summary of investments.

Concentration risk – The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer.

Interest rate risk – The District does not have a formal policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.

However, the Bond Indenture limits the type of investments held using unspent proceeds.

AVE MARIA STEWARDSHIP COMMUNITY DISTRICT COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget for the general fund. The District’s budgeting process is based on estimates of cash receipts and cash expenditures which are approved by the Board. The budget approximates a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles).

The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The general fund budget for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was amended to decrease revenues by $298,780, decrease appropriations by $167,147. The decrease in revenues is primarily the result of lower Developer contributions and the decrease in appropriations is primarily due to lower maintenance and operations and payroll. Actual general fund expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The variance between budgeted and actual general fund revenues for the 2011 fiscal year is the result of the additional Developer contribution. The actual general fund expenditures for the 2011 fiscal year were lower than budgeted amounts due primarily to anticipated costs which were not incurred in the current fiscal year.
