In the event that in any dividend year the maximum exemption period\nwith respect to some of the parcels of real property held by a\nredevelopment corporation shall have expired, and with respect to some\nsuch parcels shall not have expired, then that portion of its net\nearnings which may be paid or declared as interest on its income\ndebentures and as dividends on its stock during such dividend year shall\nbe determined as follows: multiply the net earnings of the corporation\nsubject to payment or declaration as such interest or dividends, by a\nfraction the numerator of which is the total of the maximum assessed\nvaluation of all real property for which the maximum exemption period\nhas not expired and the denominator of which is the total of the maximum\nassessed valuation of all the real property of the corporation; and the\nresult will be the apportioned net earnings restricted as to payment as\nsuch interest or dividends; compute the amount of the maximum dividend\nas though no apportionment of the same were to be affected and multiply\nthe amount so arrived at by the same fraction; and the result will be\nthe apportioned maximum dividend; only that portion of such apportioned\nnet earnings which does not exceed such apportioned maximum dividend may\nbe paid or declared as such interest or dividends; and that portion of\nthe net earnings obtained by subtracting from total net earnings such\napportioned net earnings restricted as to payment as such interest and\ndividends may be paid or declared without restriction as such interest\nor dividends.\n 4.
