In no event shall the term of the loan(s) exceed twenty (20) years: five years interest free, and up to 15 years at the MMD "A" revenue bond rate. 4.9 In no event shall the total amount of County grant(s) and loan(s) for the Parcel 109 Reimbursement, the Parking Garage Funds and any future project(s) that will be the subject of future application(s) by the CRA to the County and future amendments resulting therefrom, exceed $6,345,866. 4.10 In no event shall the total grant(s) for the Parking Garage Funds exceed the total amount of the loans described in this Section 4. 4.11 The calculation of the net increase in the tax base over 20 years, which is Condition 2 of Section 4.7 herein, is as follows: 4.11.1 The net present value of the County's share of the revenue generated by the net increase in the tax base from all private redevelopment projects within the Dania Beach RCP Redevelopment Area boundaries shall be calculated based on the following parameters: Estimated Project Value: Project costs (Land & Improvements) Property Assessment Rate: 85% of Project Cost Collection Rate: 95% 6 Property Appreciation Rate: 4% Payback Term: 20 Years from the effective date of the First Amendment, February 21, 2006, but may be less than 20 years depending on the year the private redevelopment project(s) become part of the tax base.

The actual rate used shall be the interest rate published within five (5) days prior to the date of submittal of the request for grant funds by the City/CRA to the County. 4.11.2 The net increase in the tax base is the difference between the assessed (85%) value of the various redevelopment projects including land and improvements, and the taxable value of the existing property including land and improvements. If a property was acquired by the County, the City or the CRA for the purpose of redevelopment, within the last 4 years, the taxable value will be the latest available taxable value increased annually by the growth in the tax base within the Dania Beach RCP Redevelopment Area. 4.12 The City and/or CRA agree that all expenditures of the funds loaned hereby shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Act and the Interlocal Agreement, as amended.
