Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied against any Parcel used as a private residence be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Parcel or Parcels within CFD No. 03-02 by more than ten percent (10%) per Fiscal Year. In addition, under no circumstances will the Acreage Special Tax be levied against Parcels of Developed Residential Property if the Special Taxes which may be levied pursuant to the first and second steps above are equal to or greater than sum of estimated Administrative Expenses and one hundred ten percent (110%) of the then maximum annual debt service for outstanding Bonds.
