consist of various capital improvements to the Airport.
(C) The Issuer has heretofore authorized the issuance of its Monroe County,
Florida Airport Variable Rate Revenue Bonds (Key West International Airport), Series

$33,000,000 for the principal purpose of financing a portion of the Costs of the 2006

or taxing power, if any, of the Issuer, the State of Florida, or any political subdivision
thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions. Neither the

which public hearing was conducted in a manner that provided a reasonable opportunity
for persons with differing views to be heard, both orally and in writing, on the issuance of
such Series 2006 Bonds.
(G) Due to the complexity of the transactions relating to such Series 2006
Bonds, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Series 2006 Bonds by a negotiated
sale, allowing the Issuer to enter the market at the most advantageous time, rather than at
a specified advertised date.
(H) The Issuer anticipates receiving a favorable offer to purchase the Series
2006 Bonds from UBS Securities LLC ( the "Underwriter"), all within the parameters set

dates and in such amounts, shall bear such rates of interest, shall be payable in such
places and shall be subject to such redemption provisions as shall be determined by

13
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) that the continuation of a book-entry system to

(b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Allocations. To the extent the Issuer is required
to cause the Series 2006 Bonds to be optionally redeemed pursuant to the terms of the

Paying Agent to call Series 2006 Bonds for redemption and give notice of redemption
and specifying the redemption date, the principal amount and Series of Series 2006
Bonds to be called tor redemption, the applicable redemption price or prices and the
provision or provisions of this Supplemental Resolution pursuant to which such Series

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply in the case of any
scheduled optional redemption of Series 2006 Bonds as required by the Reimbursement
Agreement and the Paying Agent shall call Series 2006 Bonds for redemption and shall
give notice of redemption pursuant to such scheduled optional redemption requirements
without the necessity of any action by the Issuer and whether or not the Paying Agent
shall hold in the Debt Service Fund moneys available and sufficient to effect the required
redemption. The Issuer shall provide the Paying Agent with a copy of the
Reimbursement Agreement.
SECTION 9. SELECTION OF SERIES 2006 BONDS TO BE
REDEEMED; SERIES 2006 BONDS REDEEMED IN PART. Series 2006 Bonds
may be redeemed only in the principal amount of authorized denominations of the Series
2006 Bonds. No portion of a Series 2006 Bond may be redeemed that would result in a
Series 2006 Bond being outstanding which is smaller than the then-permitted minimum
authorized denomination. For this purpose, the Paying Agent shall consider each Series
2006 Bond in a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
permitted at the time to be separate Series 2006 Bonds each in the minimum authorized
denomination. Provisions of this Resolution that apply to Series 2006 Bonds called tor
redemption also apply to portions of Series 2006 Bonds called for redemption.
If less than all Series 2006 Bonds are to be redeemed, the particular Series 2006
Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Paying Agent from the Series 2006 Bonds
which have not previously been called for redemption, by lot and which may provide for
the selection for redemption of portions equal to minimum authorized denominations of
the principal of Series 2006 Bonds of a denomination larger than such minimum
authorized denominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Series 2006 Bank Bonds and
Series 2006 Issuer Bonds (in that order of priority) of the same Series of the Series 2006
Bonds to be redeemed shall be redeemed prior to any other Series 2006 Bonds.
Any Series 2006 Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at
the place of payment therefor (with, if the Paying Agent so requires, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in torm satisfactory to the Paying Agent duly executed
by, the owner thereof or his attorney or legal representative duly authorized in writing)
and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the owner of SLlch Series 2006
Bond, without service charge, a new Series 2006 Bond or Series 2006 Bonds of the same
Series and of any authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such owner
in the aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of
the principal of the Series 2006 Bond so surrendered. The cost of the same shall be paid
17
by the Issuer. If the owner of any such Series 2006 Bond shall fail to present such Series
2006 Bond to the Paying Agent tor payment and exchange as aforesaid, said Series 2006
Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the redemption date to the extent of
the unit or units of principal amount in minimum authorized denominations called tor
redemption (and to that extent only).
In lieu of surrender under the preceding paragraph, payment of the redemption
price of a portion of any Series 2006 Bond may be made directly to the registered owner
thereof without surrender thereof~ if there shall have been filed with the Paying Agent a
written agreement of such owner satisfactory in torm and substance to the Paying Agent,
and, if such owner is a nominee, the Person for whom such owner is a nominee, that
payment shall be so made and that such owner will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of such Series 2006 Bond unless prior to delivery thereof such owner shall present such
Series 2006 Bond to the Paying Agent tor notation thereon of the portion of the principal
thereof redeemed or shall surrender such Series 2006 Bond in exchange tor a new Series
2006 Bond or Series 2006 Bonds tor the unredeemed balance of the principal of the
surrendered Series 2006 Bond.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Series 2006
Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Series 2006 Bond selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Securities Depository tor the
Series 2006 Bonds is DTC, the Paying Agent shall follow the procedure for redemption
and notice as set torth in DTC's operational arrangements, as in etIect at the time.
SECTION 10. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Unless waived by any
owner of Series 2006 Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption shall
be given by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer by mailing a copy of an official
redemption notice by tirst class mail, at least thirty (30) days (or fifteen (15) days in the
case of redemption described in Section 7(c) above) prior to the redemption date for
Series 2006 Bonds, to the Issuer and to each registered owner of the Series 2006 Bonds to
be redeemed at the address shown on the bond register.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price;
(c) the principal amount (and, in thc casc of partial rcdcmption, the respective
principal amounts, identitication numbers and maturity date) and Series of the Series
2006 Bonds to be redeemed;
18
(d) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and
payable upon each such Series 2006 Bond or portion thereof called tor redemption, and
that interest thereon shall cease to accme from and after said date (unless sufficient
Eligible Moneys are not available to the Paying Agent to pay the redemption price); and
(e) the place where the Series 2006 Bonds to be redeemed are to be
surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the
principal corporate trust office or other designated payment office of the Paying Agent.
With respect to redemptions made at the option of the Issuer, such notice may be
conditional upon moneys being on deposit with the Paying Agent on or prior to the
redemption date in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price on the redemption
date. If such notice is conditional and moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no
torce and effect, the Paying Agent shall not redeem such Series 2006 Bonds and the
Paying Agent shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption
was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Series 2006 Bonds will
not be redeemed.
The failure of any owner of Series 2006 Bonds to receive notice given as provided
in this Section, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings tor
the redemption of any Series 2006 Bonds. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given and shall become etfective upon
mailing, whether or not any owner receives such notice.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Paying
Agent at least thirty-two (32) days before the redemption date by registered or certitied
mail or overnight delivery service to all registered securities depositories then in the
business of holding substantial amounts of obligations of types comprising the Series
2006 Bonds and to one or more national intormation services that disseminate notices of
redemption of obligations such as the Series 2006 Bonds. Each further notice of
redemption given shall contain the information required above for an official notice of
redemption plus (i) the CUSIP numbers of all Series 2006 Bonds being redeemed, (ii) the
date of issue of the Series 2006 Bonds as originally issued, (iii) the rate of interest borne
by each Series 2006 Bond being redeemed, (iv) the maturity date and Series of each
Series 2006 Bond being redeemed, and (v) any other descriptive information needed to
identity accurately the Series 2006 Bonds being redeemed. No defect in said further
notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner
defeat the efIectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given to the registered
owners of the Series 2006 Bonds as above prescribed.
So long as the Securities Depository is effecting book-entry transfers of the Series
2006 Bonds, the Paying Agent shall provide the notices specified in this Section only to
the Securities Depository. It is expected that the Securities Depository shall, in turn,
notity its Participants and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified
19
the beneficial owners. Any failure on the part of the Securities Depository or a
Participant, or failure on the part of a nominee of a beneficial owner of a Series 2006
Bond to notify the beneticial owner of the Series 2006 Bond so affected, shall not atIect
the validity of the redemption of such Series 2006 Bond.
SECTION 11. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE; SERIES 2006
BONDS PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION. On or prior to any redemption date, the
Issuer shall deposit, from the applicable accounts in the Sinking Fund, moneys with the
Paying Agent in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Series 2006
Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Upon such deposit, such money shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such redemption price and shall not
be deemed to be part of the Pledged Funds.
The principal of and interest on all Series 2006 Bonds subject to redemption shall
be paid tirst from moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit, and second from other
moneys available to the Paying Agent. Moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit shall
not be used to pay the redemption premium on any Series 2006 Bond, unless the Letter of
Credit expressly provides for the payment of such redemption premium.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Series 2006 Bonds to be
redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price
therein specitied and trom and after such date (unless Eligible Moneys sufficient for the
payment of the redemption price are not on deposit with the Paying Agent) such Series
2006 Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Series 2006 Bond
for redemption in accordance with said notice, the redemption price of such Series 2006
Bond shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the registered owner in immediately available
funds by close of business on the redemption date. Installments of interest with a due
date on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the owners of the Series 2006
Bonds registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to the terms of such
Series 2006 Bonds and the provisions of Section 5 hereof.
If any Series 2006 Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, or as otherwise provided under Section 9 in lieu of surrender, the
principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at
the rate prescribed theretor in the Series 2006 Bond.

Credit the full amount required for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest due
and payable on the Series 2006 Bonds (other than Series 2006 Bank Bonds and Series

manner under the terms of the Letter of Credit in order that the Paying Agent may realize
funds thereunder in sufficient time to pay bondowners on the payment dates as provided

moneys received pursuant to each draw on the Letter of Credit with respect to payment of
principal of and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds in the Letter of Credit Account in the
Debt Service Fund and shall apply such moneys to the payment of the principal of and

on the Series 2006 Bonds (or after provision has been made for the payment thereof as
provided in the Resolution), and the fees, charges and expenses of the Paying Agent, all
amounts remaining in the Debt Service Fund shall be paid to the Bank (to the extent the

Reimbursement Agreement) and then to the Issuer.
SECTION 20. BOND PURCHASE FUND. Moneys in the Bond Purchase
Fund shall be held by the Paying Agent in trust (but not as part of the Pledged Funds) and
shall be applied for payment of the purchase price of tendered Series 2006 Bonds as
provided in Sections 12 through 14 hereof.
SECTION 21. PAYMENTS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. In any
case where the date of maturity of principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on
the Series 2006 Bonds or the date fixed for redemption of any Series 2006 Bonds shall be
a day other than a Business Day, then payment of principal, redemption premium, if any,
or interest need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date
fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.
SECTION 22. NONPRESENTMENT OF SERIES 2006 BONDS. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 14( c )(3) hereof, in the event any Series 2006 Bond shall
not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity
or otherwise, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, if funds sufficient to pay such
38
Series 2006 Bond shall have been made available to the Paying Agent, all liability of the
Issuer to the owner thereof for the payment of such Series 2006 Bond, shall forthwith
terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Paying
Agent to hold such funds in trust, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of
the owner of such Series 2006 Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to
such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Supplemental
Resolution or the Resolution or on or with respect to said Series 2006 Bond. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 14( c )(3) hereof, if any Series 2006 Bond shall not be
presented for payment within one year following the date when such Series 2006 Bond
becomes due, whether by maturity or otherwise, the Paying Agent shall, at the request of
the Issuer, repay to the Issuer the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Series
2006 Bond, and such Series 2006 Bond shall, subject to the defense of any applicable
statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the Issuer, and the owner
thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Issuer for payment, and then only to the extent
of the amount so repaid, and the Issuer shall not be liable for any interest thereon.
SECTION 23. LETTER OF CREDIT. The initial Letter of Credit issued
by the Bank and delivered to the Paying Agent authorizes the Paying Agent, subject to
the tern1S and conditions thereof, to draw funds for the payment of the principal of and up
to thirty-five (35) days' interest on the Series 2006 Bonds (calculated at the Maximum
Rate) at the scheduled maturity dates, redemption dates or acceleration date thereof, and
for the payment of the purchase price of Series 2006 Bonds that have been tendered for
purchase and for which proceeds of remarketing have not been received. If the Series
2006 Bonds are converted from a Weekly Rate to the Fixed Rate while a Letter of Credit
is in eflect, the stated coverage of the Letter of Credit must first have been increased to
include such number of days of interest on the Series 2006 Bonds as may be required by
each Rating Agency to maintain the current ratings assigned to the Series 2006 Bonds.
The Paying Agent shall hold the Letter of Credit for the benefit of the owners or
purchasers of the Series 2006 Bonds until the Letter of Credit terminates in accordance
with its terms or an Alternate Letter of Credit is substituted for the Letter of Credit under
Section 24 hereof. If at any time during the term of the Letter of Credit the Paying Agent
resigns or is removed, and a successor Paying Agent is appointed and qualified under this
Supplemental Resolution, the Paying Agent that is resigning or being removed shall
request that the Bank transfer the Letter of Credit to the successor Paying Agent, and
shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the
successor Paying Agent.
The Issuer shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in full
force and effect (except when the Series 2006 Bonds are being converted to the Fixed
Rate without a Letter of Credit) in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Outstanding Series 2006 Bonds plus the amount required for interest thereon, until all of
the Series 2006 Bonds have been paid in full or their payment provided for in accordance
with Section 9.01 of the Resolution. The Issuer will exercise its best efforts to extend the
39
term of the Letter of Credit currently in effect or to cause an Alternate Letter of Credit to
be delivered by the Bank to the Paying Agent prior to the termination date of the Letter of
Credit then in effect pursuant to the provisions of Sections 23 through 28 of this
Supplemental Resolution.

any time, subject to any applicable provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement, arrange

any Alternate Letter of Credit, subject to the following requirements and conditions:
(a) Each Alternate Letter of Credit shall be an irrevocable direct-pay letter of
credit, bank bond purchase agreement, bond insurance policy, surety bond or other
agreement or instrument issued and delivered in substitution for an existing Letter of
Credit, under which any Person (other than the Issuer) authorizes the Paying Agent to
draw funds or undertakes to make or provide funds to make payments of the principal of
and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds, as and when due, and payments of the purchase
price of Series 2006 Bonds that have been tendered for purchase and for which proceeds
of remarketing have not been received.
(b) Each Alternate Letter of Credit, or a binding commitment satisfactory to the
Paying Agent to issue and deliver the Alternate Letter of Credit, must be delivered to the
Paying Agent not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of expiration of the then
existing Letter of Credit, must be effective as of a date on or prior to the date of
expiration of the then existing Letter of Credit, and shall expire no earlier than the Letter
of Credit which it replaces, but may be expressed to expire prior to the final maturity of
the Series 2006 Bonds except when the Series 2006 Bonds are being converted to the
Fixed Rate with a Letter of Credit.
( c) Each Alternate Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory in form and substance
to the Paying Agent, and shall be in a stated amount at least equal to the sum of (1) the
aggregate principal amount of Series 2006 Bonds at the time Outstanding, plus (2)
required coverage for interest. Each Alternate Letter of Credit shall have a term of at
least one year, beginning not later than the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then in
effect, or, if less than one year, shall have a term ending not less than fifteen (15) days
after the Maturity Date. If the Series 2006 Bonds will be in the Fixed Rate Period and a
Letter of Credit is to be in effect, the term of the Alternate Letter of Credit shall have a
term that extends at least fifteen (15) days after the Maturity Date.
(d) The Issuer shall give written notice of its intention to replace the existing
Letter of Credit with an Alternate Letter of Credit to the Paying Agent and each Rating
Agency maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds not less than forty-five (45) days
prior to the expiration or termination date of the Letter of Credit then in effect. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail a notice of the anticipated
40
delivery of the Alternate Letter of Credit by first-class mail to the Remarketing Agent and
each bondowner. A draft of each Alternate Letter of Credit and the related
Reimbursement Agreement and appropriate information concerning the issuer of such
Alternate Letter of Credit shall be submitted by the Issuer to each Rating Agency
maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds.
(e) The Issuer shall cause to be delivered to the Paying Agent not less than
forty- five (45) days prior to the expiration or termination date of the existing Letter of
Credit (1) the Alternate Letter of Credit or a commitment satisfactory to the Paying Agent
by the Bank which will issue the Alternate Letter of Credit, and (2) written notice from
each Rating Agency maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds stating whether the
substitution of such Alternate Letter of Credit will result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating then in effect on the Series 2006 Bonds.
(t) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Fixed Rate Period, an existing
Letter of Credit may not be replaced with an Alternate Letter of Credit unless each Rating
Agency maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds shall confirm in writing that
substitution of such Alternate Letter of Credit will not result in a reduction or withdrawal
of the ratings then in effect with respect to the Series 2006 Bonds.
(g) On or prior to the effective date of any Alternate Letter of Credit, the Issuer
shall furnish to the Paying Agent (1) an Opinion of Counsel stating that delivery of such
Alternate Letter of Credit to the Paying Agent is authorized under this Supplemental
Resolution and complies with the terms hereof, (2) an Opinion of Counsel from counsel
to the Bank issuing such Alternate Letter of Credit to the effect that the Alternate Letter
of Credit is a valid and binding obligation of such issuer or provider, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, creditor's rights and equitable reliet~ (3) an Opinion of Bond Counsel, which
shall be addressed to the Issuer and the Paying Agent, stating that the delivery of such
Alternate Letter of Credit to the Paying Agent does not adversely affect the exclusion, if
any, from gross income of the interest on the Series 2006 Bonds for federal income tax
purposes and will not cause the Series 2006 Bonds to be subject to registration or
qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (4) written evidence from
each Rating Agency at the time providing a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds as to the new
rating that will result from the substitution of the proposed Alternate Letter of Credit for
the Letter of Credit, and (5) written confirmation from the Remarketing Agent that it has
agreed to remarket the Series 2006 Bonds on and after the date of delivery of the
Alternate Letter of Credit. The Issuer shall not rescind or terminate the Letter of Credit
unless all conditions to providing an Alternate Letter of Credit have been satisfied.
SECTION 25. DRAWS ON LETTER OF CREDIT. Whenever a Letter of
Credit is in effect, the Paying Agent shall draw amounts under the Letter of Credit in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein at the times, in the manner and
for the purposes set forth in this Supplemental Resolution to the extent necessary to make
41
full and timely payment of the principal or purchase price of and interest on the Series
2006 Bonds in accordance with this Supplemental Resolution and the Series 2006 Bonds,
except that the Paying Agent may not draw on the Letter of Credit to pay Series 2006
Bank Bonds or to pay Series 2006 Issuer Bonds. All amounts drawn under the Letter of
Credit shall be held by the Paying Agent in the Letter of Credit Account in the Debt
Service Fund or in the Bank Purchase Account in the Bond Purchase Fund, as applicable,
and used only for the purposes set forth herein. In drawing on the Letter of Credit, the
Paying Agent will be acting on behalf of the bondowners by facilitating payment of their
Series 2006 Bonds and not on behalf of the Issuer and will not be subject to the control of
the Issuer in that regard. In the event the Bank fails to honor a properly presented
drawing upon the Letter of Credit, the Paying Agent shall provide notice thereof to the
Issuer and the Issuer, which notice shall demand payment by the Issuer, of any and all
amounts then due and payable with respect to the Series 2006 Bonds.
If the Letter of Credit is in effect, the Paying Agent, prior to 1 :00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Business Day next preceding each Interest Payment Date and each date
on which principal is due and payable on the Series 2006 Bonds (whether at maturity or
upon proceedings for redemption), and immediately upon the principal of premium, if
any and the interest on the Series 2006 Bonds becoming immediately due and payable
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall draw on the Letter of Credit the full
amount required for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest due and payable
on the Series 2006 Bonds (other than Series 2006 Bank Bonds and Series 2006 Issuer
Bonds) on each payment date or upon acceleration. Such drawing shall be made in a
timely manner under the terms of the Letter of Credit in order that the Paying Agent may
realize funds thereunder in sufficient time to pay bondowners on the payment date as
provided herein. So long as the Letter of Credit is in force, the Paying Agent shall
deposit all moneys received pursuant to each draw on the Letter of Credit with respect to
payment of principal of and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds in the Letter of Credit
Account in the Debt Service Fund and shall apply such moneys to the payment of the
principal of and interest on or redemption price of Series 2006 Bonds as provided in
Section 19.
Upon a date Series 2006 Bonds are to be purchased pursuant to a tender, the
Paying Agent shall prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, draw under the Letter of
Credit then held by the Paying Agent in accordanee with its terms in a manner so that
immediately available funds will be available to the Paying Agent by 1 :30 p.m. New
York City time, on such purchase date, in an amount sufficient, together with the
remarketing proceeds of Series 2006 Bonds which the Remarketing Agent has delivered
to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 14, to enable the Paying Agent to pay the
purchase price of such Series 2006 Bonds to be purchased on such purchase date, and the
Paying Agent shall deposit those moneys directly into the Bank Purchase Account in the
Bond Purchase Fund. In the absence of notices from the Remarketing Agent pursuant to
Section 14, the Paying Agent shall draw under the Letter of Credit an amount sufficient
42
to enable the Paying Agent to pay the purchase price of all Series 2006 Bonds tendered
for purchase on the purchase date.
In the event of a drawing under the Letter of Credit to pay the purchase price of
Series 2006 Bonds upon a mandatory purchase date relating to the issuance and delivery
of an Alternate Letter of Credit, the Paying Agent shall draw moneys under the Letter of
Credit in effect on and prior to such mandatory purchase date and shall not draw upon the
Alternate Letter of Credit that will become effective on or after such mandatory purchase
date.
SECTION 26. SURRENDER OF LETTER OF CREDIT. If at any time
an Alternate Letter of Credit is delivered to the Paying Agent, together with the other
documents and opinions required by this Resolution, then the Paying Agent shall accept
such Alternate Letter of Credit and promptly (but not sooner than the first Business Day
after the effective date of the Alternate Letter of Credit) surrender the Letter of Credit
previously in effect to the issuer thereof, in accordance with the terms thereof, for
cancellation. If at any time there shall cease to be any Series 2006 Bonds Outstanding
under this Resolution, if at any time the Series 2006 Bonds shall have been defeased
pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Resolution, or if the Letter of Credit expires in accordance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, the Paying Agent shall promptly (but not sooner
than the first Business Day after the occurrence of such event) surrender the Letter of
Credit to the issuer thereof, in accordance with the tern1S thereof, for cancellation. The
Paying Agent shall comply with the procedures set forth in the Letter of Credit relating to
the termination thereof.
SECTION 27. RIGHTS OF BANK. If (a) an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, or (b) the Paying Agent shall draw under the Letter of Credit to pay
the redemption or purchase price of the Series 2006 Bonds in connection with the
redemption or tender in whole or in part of the Series 2006 Bonds, and in either such case
the Bank shall have provided the Paying Agent with funds pursuant to the Letter of
Credit for the payment of the principal of and interest on such Series 2006 Bonds, then,
and in such event, the Bank shall be subrogated to all rights theretofore possessed under
this Supplemental Resolution and the Resolution by bondowners in respect of which
such principal and interest shall have been paid with funds provided by the Bank and not
fully reimbursed to the Bank. After the payment in full of any Series 2006 Bonds owned
by the bondowners, any reference herein to the holders of such Series 2006 Bonds or to
the bondowners shall mean the Bank to the extent of those subrogation rights resulting
from the payments made pursuant to the Letter of Credit.
SECTION 28. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF THE BANK.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Supplemental Resolution to the contrary, no
consent of or notice to the Bank shall be required under any provision of this
Supplemental Resolution nor shall the Bank have any right to consent to, direct or control
43
any actions, restrIctIons, rights, remedies, waivers or acceleration pursuant to any
provision of this Supplemental Resolution during any time which:
(a) the Bank has wrongfully failed to honor a properly presented draw made
under and in strict compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit which failure has not
been cured; or
(b) the Letter of Credit is not in effect and no amounts are due and payable by
the Issuer to the Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement.

occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01 (A) of the Resolution, or
upon receipt by the Paying Agent of written notice from the Bank that a Designated
Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined therein) has occurred
and is continuing and has not been waived by the Bank, then the entire unpaid principal
of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds shall forthwith become
immediately due and payable, and the Paying Agent shall immediately draw upon the
Letter of Credit for the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Series 2006 Bonds and
all premiums, if any (but only to the extent pern1itted in the Letter of Credit) and interest
accrued thereon which shall be applied immediately as set forth in Section 17, and to the
extent that the Bank honors such draw, interest on the Series 2006 Bonds shall cease to
accrue from and after the declaration of such acceleration.
SECTION 30. CONTROL BY BANK. Upon the occurrence of and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, the Bank, if it shall not be in payment default
under the Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to be the sole owner of the Series 2006 Bonds
for purposes of (a) directing and controlling the enforcement of all rights and remedies
with respect to the Series 2006 Bonds, including any waiver of an Event of Default and
removal of any trustee, and (b) exercising any voting right or privilege or giving any
consent or direction or taking any other action that the Holders of the Series 2006 Bonds

or to the Bank shall be modified without the prior written consent of the Bank.
The Issuer shall provide the Bank immediate notice of Event of Default described
in Section 7.01(A) of the Resolution and notice of any other Event of Def:mlt within 5
days after the occurrence thereof. The Bank is a third-party beneficiary to the Resolution
and this Supplemental Resolution with respect to the Series 2006 Bonds.

the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, that arise out ofor relate to: (i) this
Reimbursement Agreement (including any rcnewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii)
any document related to this Reimbursement Agreement (collectively a "Claim"). For the
purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term "parties" shall include any parent
corporation, subsidiary or affiliatc of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or
administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this Reimbursement Agreement.
(b) At the request of any party to this Reimbursement Agreement, any Claim shall be
resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S.
Code) (the "Arbitration Act"). The Arbitration Act will apply even though this
Reimbursement Agreement provides that it is governed by the law ofa specified state. The
arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class action.
(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Act,
the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the
American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof("AAA"), and the terms of this
Section. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA
is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision
of this arbitration clause, any party to this Reimbursement Agreement may substitute
another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of
arbitration.
(d) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted in Miami, Florida. All
Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three
arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand
for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the
arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing

statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court
having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered and enforced.
( c) The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim
and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the
application of the statute oflimitations, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of
a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this
arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the
arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms
of this Reimbursement Agreement.
(f) This Section docs not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-j udicial foreclosure against any
real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv)
20
act in a court ofIaw to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive reliet~
writ of possession or appointment ofa receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
(g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any
party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.
(h) By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any
right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without
intending in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not
arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial
by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties
entering into this Reimbursement Agreement.

THE COUNTY
Monroe County, Florida is a political subdivision of the State of Florida and has powers under
Chapters 125 and Part II of Chapter 159, Florida Statutes, as amended, the Constitution of the State of
Florida and other applicable provisions of law (collectively, the "Act"). The County was constitutionally
formed in 1823. It is comprised primarily of the Florida Keys, which are a string of coral islands
extending in a southwesterly arc from Biscayne Bay to the Dry Tortugas. The Florida Keys separate the
Atlantic Ocean on the south and the east from the Gulf of Mexico on the north and west, and extend
approximately lOO miles south from the United States mainland. The County seat, the City of Key West,
located on the southernmost of the Florida Keys, lies 98 miles north of Cuba, approximately 160 miles
southwest of Miami and 66 nautical miles north of the Tropic of Cancer. According to the United States
Census, in 2000, the County's population was 79,589. The estimated 2005 population of the County was
82,413 according to the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research. Within the
County, there are five municipalities: the Cities of Key West, Layton, Marathon and Key Colony Beach
and the Villages of Islamorada. See "APPENDIX D - GENERAL IN FORMA TION CONCERNING THE
COUNTY" attached hereto.
The County is governed by the Board of County Commissioners and is authorized by the Act to
issue the Series 2006 Bonds to provide funds to finance the Project. The obligations of the County
regarding these Series 2006 Bonds are not a general obligation of the County.
TI-IE SERIES 2006 BONDS ARE SPECIAL AND LJMITED OBUGA TIONS OF THE COUNTY
AND ARE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND SECURITY INTERESTS PLEDGED FOR
THEIR PAYMENT AND FROM FUNDS A V AILABLE FROM THE LETTER OF CREDIT AND DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A PLEDGE OF TIlE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF HIE COUNTY, 'II-IE STATE, OR
ANY POUIKAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, BUT SHALL BE PA YABLE SOLELY AS DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
THE AIRPORT
'The Project will be located at Key West International Airport, 3491 South Roosevelt Boulevard,
Key West, Florida. The operator of the Project is the County.
The Key West International Airport (the "Airport") is a non-hub commercial airport located
within the city limits of Key West, Florida and covers approximately 258 acres of land. Of this land, 87
acres are salt ponds and mangrove vegetation. The remaining 181 acres of land are usable for the
2
Airport. In 1920 the first international air passenger service and the first international air mail routes
were established between Key West and Havana, Cuba. In 1927 the Airport was designated the first
airport of entry into the United states. At that time, the Airport was a small private airport owned by
Palm Beach millionaire Malcolm Meacham. Pan American Airlines was established in Key West that year
and leased the Airport site from Meacham. The Airport remained a small and privately owned strip until
the start of World War II. The land was then purchased by the federal government and converted into
what was primarily a dirigible base. A runway of approximately 2,400 feet, oriented from northeast to
southwest, was constructed on site. This site, named Meacham Field, was purchased by the County for
$150,000 after the war was over.
In 1954, the Meacham Field Runway was realigned to its current east-west orientation and, in
1958, the terminal was built. At this time, Meacham Field was renamed Key West International Airport.
Additional information concerning the Airport is included in "APPENDIX C REPORT OF THE
AIRPORT CONSULTANT".
Airport Air Service Area
The primary geographical area served by an airport is commonly referred to as the "air service
area." The demand for air service is related to the economic strength of an airport's air service area. This
relationship is even greater at an origination and destination airport such as the County's Airport. Unlike
connecting airports, where the majority of passenger traffic is generated by one or more airlines' use of an
airport as a hub for its route system, origin and destination airports' passenger traffic is generated by its
local demand for air service, or its attraction to visitors from outside its locality, and not by any
connecting or hub activity. The area which serves as the primary economic base for passenger demand at
the Airport is discussed in Section III of "APPENDIX C REPORT OF THE AIRPORT CONSULTANT".

passengers is described below for the Airport, as well as projections of future levels of passenger activity:

THE SERIES 2006 BONDS
General
The Series 2006 Bonds initially will be issued to bear interest at a Weekly Rate. Pursuant to the
Resolution the County may elect to cause the Series 2006 Bonds to bear interest at a Fixed Rate. In the
event the County elects to cause the Series 2006 Bonds to bear interest at a Fixed Rate, they will be subject
to mandatory tender for purchase, and it is expected that the Series 2006 Bonds will be remarketed
pursuant to a new offering document which will explain in detail the terms and conditions of the Series
2006 Bonds following such conversion to the Fixed Rate. Accordingly, provisions of the Resolution and
the Series 2006 Bonds relating to the terms of the Series 2006 Bonds following a conversion to the
Fixed Rate are not discussed herein.
6
The Series 2006 Bonds will be issued, in the aggregate principal amount set forth on the cover
page hereof, fully registered as to payment of principal and interest. The Series 2006 Bonds will be dated
their date of delivery and, subject to prior redemption or mandatory tender, will mature on the date
stated on the cover page hereof (the "Maturity Date"). The Series 2006 Bonds initially will bear interest at
the Weekly Rate.
The Series 2006 Bonds will be issued in authorized denominations of $100,000 and any integral
multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof, with respect to any Weekly Rate Period (the "Authorized
Denominations").
The Series 2006 Bonds originally will be issued solely in book-entry form to DTC or its nominee,
Cede & Co., to be held in DTC's book-entry system (the "Book-Entry System"). So long as the Series 2006
Bonds are held in the Book-Entry System, DTC or its nominee will be the registered owner or holder of
the Series 2006 Bonds for all purposes of the Resolution, the Series 2006 Bonds and this Official Statement.
Individual purchases of book-entry interests in the Series 2006 Bonds will be made in book-entry-only
form in Authorized Denominations. See "TI-IE SERIES 2006 BONDS Book-Entry System" herein.

Summary of Certain Provisions of the Series 2006 Bonds
The following table summarizes certain provisions regarding the Weekly Rate determination
methods and dates relating to tenders, redemptions and purchases:
7
Interest Rate Determination At or before [4:00 p.m.] New York City time, on each Wednesday (or
Dates if not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day) for the
period (a "Weekly Rate Period") beginning on the following Thursday
and ending on the next Wednesday.
Optional Tender of Series 2006 Any Business Day; by facsimile or telephonic notice, promptly
Bonds for Purchase on Demand confirmed in writing, to the Paying Agent not later than 15:00 p.m.]
of Owner; Required Notice New York City time, on a Business Day at least seven days prior to
the purchase date,
Mandatory Tender of Series (1) On any Interest Payment Date upon the written demand of the
2006 Bonds for Purchase; County with the prior written consent of the Bank.
Purchase Dates (2) On a Conversion Date (the effective date of a change m the
interest rate determination method).
(3) On the fifth Business Day prior to the expiration or termination of
the Letter of Credit or on the date of substitution of an Alternate
Letter of Credit.

(2) Mandatory redemption at par at the option of the Bank upon an
event of default under the Reimbursement Agreement or with respect
to Bank Bonds.
Notices of Mandatory Purchases At least 15 days notice of mandatory tender of Series 2006 Bonds for
and Redemption purchase; at least 30 days (15 days for redemptions described in (3)
directly above) notice of redemption.
Payment of Principal and Interest
The principal of the Series 2006 Bonds will be payable at the principal corporate office or
designated payment office of the Paying Agent. The interest on each Series 2006 Bond on any interest
payment date will be paid by the Paying Agent to the registered owner of such Series 2006 Bonds as
shown on the bond register at the close of business on the Record Date, as defined below, (1) by check or
draft mailed to such registered owner at the address as it appears on the bond register or at such other
address as is furnished to the Paying Agent in writing by such owner, or (2) by electronic wire transfer in
immediately available funds to a bank in the continental United States for credit to the ABA routing
number and account number filed with the Paying Agent no later than 5 Business Days before the
applicable Record Date. In any case where the date of maturity of principal of or interest on the Series
2006 Bonds or the date fixed for redemption of any Series 2006 Bonds shall be a day other than a Business
Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date
fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.
Interest on the Series 2006 Bonds will be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days
in leap years, as appropriate), for the actual number of days elapsed. While there exists an Event of
Default under the Resolution with respect to the Series 2006 Bonds, interest will be payable at the rate on
the Series 2006 Bonds existing on the day before such Event of Default occurred,
8
As set forth in the table below, when interest is payable at a given rate (a "Rate"), interest accrued
during the applicable period (an "Interest Period") will be paid on the corresponding date (an "Interest
Payment Date") to holders of record on the corresponding date (a "Record Date"):
Interest
Rate Interest Period Payment Date Record Date
Weekly From the date of Issuance of the First day of each month L.,ast Business
Series 2006 Bonds or thereafter the (whether or not a Business Day before
first day of each calendar month (or Day) and each Conversion Interest Payment
the first day of any conversion to a Date. Date.
Weekly Rate) to the day prior to the
first day of the next succeeding
calendar month or any day which is
a Conversion Date from a Weekly
Rate Period.
"Business Day" means a day other than (a) a Saturday or Sunday; (b) a day on which the corporate trust
office or payment office of the Paying Agent, the payment office of the Bank for draws under the [,etter of
Credit, or the primary office of the Remarketing Agent are lawfully closed; or (c) a day on which the New
York Stock Exchange or the Securities Depository is closed.
Interest Rate Determination Method
General. The Remarketing Agent will determine the interest rate or rates applicable to the Series
2006 Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Resolution, provided that the interest rate may not exceed the
lesser of the interest rate used in computing the interest component of the Letter of Credit (initially, 12%)
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law (the "Maximum Rate"). Subject to this limitation, the
rate of interest on each Series 2006 Bonds will be determined as the lowest rate of interest which, in the
judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would cause the Series 2006 Bonds to have a market value as of the
date of determination equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, taking into account
prevailing market conditions,
Weekly Rate. The Remarketing Agent will set a Weekly Rate no later than the last Business Day
before the commencement of a period during which the Series 2006 Bonds bear interest at a Weekly Rate
and at or before [4:00 p.m.], New York City time, on each Wednesday thereafter during which interest on
the Series 2006 Bonds is to be payable at a Weekly Rate, or, if any Wednesday is not a Business Day, on
the next preceding Business Day. The first Weekly Rate will apply to the period beginning on the date of
original issuance and delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds and will remain in effect until on Wednesday of
the following week when the Weekly Rate is first redetermined. Thereafter, each Weekly Rate will apply
to the period beginning on the Thursday after the Weekly Rate is set and ending on the following
Wednesday or, if earlier, ending on the day before the effective date of a new method of determining the
interest rate on the Series 2006 Bonds or the Maturity Date.
9
If the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine the Weekly Rate for any Weekly Rate
Period, the Weekly Rate in effect for the Series 2006 Bonds for such Weekly Rate Period will be the
percentage per annum equal to the current I3MA Municipal Bond Index as published in The Bond Buyer as
of the first day of such Weekly Rate Period (or if The Bond Buyer or such index is no longer published,
such other published similar index as is determined by the Remarketing Agent in its sole discretion to be
appropriate), plus 15 basis points.
Change in Interest Rate Determination Method. The County may elect to convert all of the
Series 2006 Bonds from Weekly Rate to Fixed Rate. The County shall give notice of any proposed
conversion and the proposed date such conversion will become effective (the "Conversion Date") to the
Paying Agent not less than 30 days prior to the proposed Conversion Date. Upon receipt of the notice
from the County, the Paying Agent shall promptly give written notice of the proposed conversion to the
Remarketing Agent and the Bank. T'he Paying Agent shall give mailed notice to the Bondholders (which
may be combined, where applicable, with any notice of mandatory tender) not less than 20 days before
the proposed Conversion Date, This notice shall state: (a) the proposed Conversion Date; (b) that such
Series 2006 Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the Conversion Date; (c) the
conditions, if any, to the conversion, and the consequences of such conditions not being fulfilled; (d) if the
Series 2006 Bonds are in certificated form, information with respect to required delivery of Bond
certificates and payment of the purchase price; and (e) the new Interest Payment Dates and Record Dates.
Conditions to Change in Interest Rate Determination Method. Any change in the method of
determining interest on Series 2006 Bonds as described above must satisfy the following conditions in
order to become effective:
(a) If a Letter of Credit will be in effect after the Conversion Date, then, upon conversion, (i)
either the stated coverage of the Letter of Credit will include an amount sufficient to pay interest on all
Series 2006 Bonds outstanding (calculated at the Fixed Rate) for a period of days not less than the number
of days in the longest interest payment period for the Series 2006 Bonds in such interest rate mode plus 5
days or the Paying Agent must have received prior written confirmation from each rating service
maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds that such conversion will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of the then current ratings (long-term only if the conversion is to a Fixed Rate) on the Series
2006 Bonds, and (ii) the term of the Letter of Credit must extend to at least 15 days after the Maturity
Date;
(b) Upon the conversion to a Fixed Rate, the County must deliver to the Paying Agent with
the conversion notice (i) a firm underwriting or purchase contract from a recognized firm of bond
underwriters or recognized institutional investors, which may be the Remarketing Agent, to underwrite
or purchase all Series 2006 Bonds that are to be converted to a Fixed Rate at a price of 100'X, of the
principal amount thereof at an agreed upon interest rate for the Series 2006 Bonds which such
underwriters or institutional investors certify is the lowest rate that will permit the Series 2006 Bonds to
be sold at par on the first day of the Fixed Rate Period; and (ii) an Opinion of Bond Counsel (which
opinion shall be addressed and delivered to the Paying Agent and the County and shall be confirmed on
the Conversion Date) stating that such conversion is authorized or permitted by the Resolution, and that
the conversion will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income on any Series 2006 Bonds for
federal income tax purposes; and
(c) If any Series 2006 Bonds have been called for redemption and the redemption has not yet
occurred, the effective date of the conversion cannot be before such redemption date; and
10
Cancellation of Change in Interest Rate Determination Method. If any condition precedent to a
conversion set forth above is not met, then no conversion shall occur, but the affected Series 2006 Bonds
shall continue to be subject to any mandatory tender otherwise required without regard to the failure to
fulfill such condition, and thereafter shall accrue interest at Weekly Rates for Weekly Rate Periods
determined as provided in the Resolution.
Rate Covenant. In the Resolution, the County covenants that for the Fiscal Year commencing
October 1, 2005 and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, the County shall fix, establish, maintain and collect
such rates, fees, rentals and charges for the services and facilities of the Airport, and revise the same from
time to time, whenever necessary, so as always to provide in each Fiscal Year.
(A) Net Revenues, together with the Other Available Moneys, equal to at least 125% of the
Annual Debt Service becoming due in such Fiscal Year; provided
(B) the Net Revenues, together with Other Available Moneys, shall be adequate at all times
to pay in such Fiscal Year at least 100% of (I) the Annual Debt Service becoming due in such Fiscal Year,
(2) any amounts required by the terms hereof to be deposited in the Reserve Account or with any issuer
of a Reserve Account Letter of Credit or Reserve Account Insurance Policy in such Fiscal year, (3) any
amounts required by the terms hereof to be deposited in the Renewal and Replacement Fund in such
Fiscal Year, and (4) any Subordinated Indebtedness coming due in said Fiscal Year.
Such rates, fees, rentals and other charges shall not be so reduced so as to be insufficient to
provide adequate Net Revenues and Other Available Moneys for the purposes provided therefor by the
Resolution.
If, in any Fiscal Year, the County shall fail to comply with the requirements contained in the
Resolution, it shall cause the Airport Consultant to review its rates, fees, rentals, charges, income, Gross
Revenues, Other Available Moneys, Operating and Maintenance Costs and methods of operation and to
make written recommendations as to the methods by which the County may promptly seek to comply
with such requirements. The County shall forthwith commence to implement such recommendations to
the extent required so as to thereafter comply with the requirements.

of the owners thereof, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Series 2006

is to be purchased, and (D) the identity of the Participant through which the Beneficial Owner maintains

the purchase date such owner will hold any undelivered bond certificate as agent for the Paying Agent.
While the Book-Entry System is in effect, on the same date as delivery of the notice described
above, a beneficial owner shall also require its Participant (as hereinafter defined) in the Securities
Depository to deliver to the Securities Depository a notice irrevocably instructing it to transfer on the
registration books of the Securities Depository the beneficial ownership interest in the Series 2006 Bonds
being tendered to the account of the Paying Agent, for settlement on the purchase date as described
above, on a "free delivery" basis, with a copy of such notice delivered to the Paying Agent on the same
date.
Mandatory Tender of Series 2006 Bonds
Series 2006 Bonds bearing interest at Weekly Rates are subject to mandatory tender for purchase
at a purchase price equal to 100'X, of the principal amount of such Series 2006 Bonds, plus accrued
interest, if any, to the purchase date as follows:
Mandatory Tender of Weekly Rate Series 2006 Bonds. Series 2006 Bonds accruing interest at a
Weekly Rate are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on any Interest Payment Date applicable to
such Series 2006 Bonds upon written demand of the County with the prior written consent of the Bank.
Mandatory Tender Upon Conversions between Rate Periods. Series 2006 Bonds to be converted
from Weekly Rate Period to a Fixed Rate Period are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the
Conversion Date.
Mandatory Tender Upon Expiration or Termination of the Letter of Credit. The Series 2006
Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the 5'h Business Day prior to the expiration or
12
termination of the Letter of Credit if the Paying Agent has not received evidence satisfactory to it by the
45th day preceding the scheduled expiration or termination date of an extension of the then existing Letter
of Credit or the issuance of an Alternate Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of the Resolution.
Mandatory Tender Upon Substitution of Alternate Letter of Credit. The Series 2006 Bonds are
subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the date of substitution of an Alternate Letter of Credit for
the then existing Letter of Credit.
Notice of Mandatory Tender. The Paying Agent shall give notice of a mandatory tender of
Series 2006 Bonds for purchase to the owners of the Series 2006 Bonds, the County, the Bank, the
Remarketing Agent, principal bond depositories, information services and each rating agency
maintaining a rating on the Series 2006 Bonds not less than 15 days before the mandatory tender date. If
the Series 2006 Bonds are in certificated form, the notice shall include information with respect to
required delivery of bond certificates and payment of the purchase price. The notice will state (I) the
purchase date, (2) the purchase price, (3) if a Book-Entry System is not in effect, that the Series 2006 Bonds
subject to mandatory tender must be surrendered to collect the purchase price, (4) if a Book-Entry System
is not in effect, the address at which the Series 2006 Bonds must be surrendered, and (5) that interest on
the Series 2006 Bonds (or beneficial interests) purchased ceases to accrue on the purchase date. In
addition, if a Letter of Credit is expiring (or being replaced), the notice will state the expiration or
replacement date and that the expiration or replacement might result in a reduction or withdrawal of any
rating of the Series 2006 Bonds.
Failure to give any required notice of Mandatory Tender as to any particular Series 2006 Bond
will not affect the validity of the purchase of any Series 2006 Bonds in respect of which no such failure has
occurred. Any notice mailed as provided in the Resolution will be conclusively presumed to have been
given whether or not actually received by any bond owner.
Delivery of Tendered Series 2006 Bonds. So long as the Series 2006 Bonds are held in a Book-
Entry System, transfers of beneficial ownership of the Series 2006 Bonds to purchasers thereof upon a
tender for purchase and remarketing will be effected on the registration books of the Securities
Depository pursuant to its rules and procedures. When a Book-Entry System is in effect, any requirement
for physical delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds in connection with an optional or mandatory tender will be
deemed satisfied by the Paying Agent when the ownership rights in the Series 2006 Bonds are transferred
by direct participants ("Participants") on the records of the Securities Depository. See "Book-Entry
System" below).
When and if a Book-Entry System is not in effect all tendered Series 2006 Bonds must be
delivered to the Paying Agent at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the purchase date to the
designated payment office of the Paying Agent or its designated agent or drop service in New York City.
'The Series 2006 Bonds shall be accompanied by an instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Paying
Agent, executed in blank by the owner, with all signatures guaranteed. The Paying Agent may refuse to
accept delivery of any Series 2006 Bonds for which an instrument of transfer satisfactory to it has not been
provided and shall have no obligation to pay the purchase price of such Series 2006 Bonds until a
satisfactory instrument is delivered. If the owner of any Series 2006 Bonds (or portion thereof) in
certificated form that is subject to optional or mandatory purchase fails to deliver such Series 2006 Bonds
to the Paying Agent for purchase on the purchase date, and if the Paying Agent is in receipt of the
purchase price therefor, such Series 2006 Bonds (or portion thereof) shall nevertheless be deemed
purchased on the purchase date thereof and ownership of such Series 2006 Bonds (or portion thereof)
13
shall be transferred to the purchaser. Any owner who fails to deliver such Series 2006 Bonds for purchase
shall have no further rights thereunder except the right to receive the purchase price thereof upon
presentation and surrender of said Series 2006 Bonds to the Paying Agent.
Remarketing and Purchase of Tendered Series 2006 Bonds
Remarketing of Series 2006 Bonds. Unless otherwise instructed by the County, with the written
consent of the Bank, the Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and use its best efforts to find purchasers
for all Series 2006 Bonds or portions thereof for which notice of tender has been received pursuant to the
optional tender provisions, or which are subject to mandatory tender under certain of the circumstances
as described above. The Remarketing Agent will not remarket any Series 2006 Bonds that is optionally
tendered as to which a notice of redemption or a notice of mandatory tender has been given by the
Paying Agent if the purchase date would occur on or after the 8th day prior to the redemption date or
mandatory tender date, unless the Remarketing Agent consents and has notified the purchaser of the
redemption notice or the mandatory tender and in any event will not remarket the Series 2006 Bonds on
or after the second day prior to the redemption date or mandatory tender date. In addition, the
Remarketing Agent may not knowingly remarket any Series 2006 Bonds to the County (or any "insider",
as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the County). In addition, Series 2006 Bonds will not
be offered for sale by the Remarketing Agent during the continuance of an event of default under the
Resolution of which the Remarketing Agent has notice, unless the purchaser of such Series 2006 Bonds is
given notice of such event of default and will not in any event remarket any Series 2006 Bonds if a Letter
of Credit is in effect and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal and interest on the
Series 2006 Bonds has become immediately due and payable.
Purchase of Tendered Series 2006 Bonds. At or before 1:45 p.m., New York City time, on the
purchase date for tendered Series 2006 Bonds and upon receipt by the Paying Agent of 100% of the
aggregate purchase price of the tendered Series 2006 Bonds, the Paying Agent shall pay the purchase
price of such Series 2006 Bonds to the owners thereof. Such payments shall be made in immediately
available funds.
Registration and Delivery of Purchased Series 2006 Bonds. On the date of purchase, the Paying
Agent shall register and deliver (or hold) all Series 2006 Bonds purchased on any purchase date as
follows: (1) Series 2006 Bonds purchased or remarketed by the Remarketing Agent shall be registered and
made available to the Remarketing Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, in accordance with the
instructions of the Remarketing Agent, (2) Series 2006 Bonds purchased with proceeds made available
through the Letter of Credit shall be registered in the name of the Bank and shall be held by the Paying
Agent as "Bank Bonds" as described in the following paragraph, and (3) Series 2006 Bonds purchased
with amounts provided by the County shall be registered in the name of the County and shall be held in
trust by the Paying Agent on behalf of the County and shall not be released from such trust unless the
Paying Agent shall have received written instructions from the County. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, so long as the Series 2006 Bonds are held under a Book-Entry System, Series 2006
Bonds will not be delivered as set forth above; rather, transfers of beneficial ownership of the Series 2006
Bonds to the Person indicated above will be effected on the registration books of the Securities Depository
pursuant to its rules and procedures.
Bank Bonds. Series 2006 Bonds purchased with proceeds made available through the Letter of
Credit shall be deemed purchased by the County for the benefit of the Bank, shall constitute "Bank
Bonds," and shall be held by the Paying Agent as fiduciary for the Bank (and shall be shown as Bank
14
Bonds on the bond register or, if the Series 2006 Bonds are held in the Book-Entry System, such Bank
Bonds shall be recorded in the books of the Securities Depository for the account of the Paying Agent, as
custodian for the Bank) in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution and the Reimbursement
Agreement. The Remarketing Agent shall continue to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of any
Bank Bonds, subject to full reinstatement of the amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit
with respect to such Series 2006 Bonds, and notice thereof to the Bank at which time the Bank's security
interest in the Series 2006 Bonds shall be released.
Redemption of Series 2006 Bonds Before Maturity
The Series 2006 Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory redemption prior to maturity at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption
date, as described below. The redemption price will be paid to the registered owner in immediately
available funds by the close of business on the redemption date. While any Series 2006 Bonds are held by
the Securities Depository, such payments will be made to the Securities Depository, and the rules and
practices of the Securities Depository and its Participants will determine when Beneficial Owners receive
such payments. See "- Book-Entry System" below. Series 2006 Bonds tendered for purchase on a date
after a call for redemption but before the redemption date will be purchased pursuant to the tender.
Optional Redemption At the Option of the County. When interest on the Series 2006 Bonds is
payable at a Weekly Rate the Series 2006 Bonds may be redeemed in whole or part, in Authorized
Denominations, on any date at option of the County, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date. Under the terms of the
Reimbursement Agreement the County has agreed that it will cause Series 2006 Bonds to be redeemed
prior to maturity in accordance with a schedule established in the Reimbursement Agreement. The
schedule of optional redemptions contained in the Reimbursement Agreement may be amended by the
Bank and the County without the consent of, or notice to, holders of the Series 2006 Bonds.
Mandatory Redemption Upon Demand by Bank. The Series 2006 Bonds are subject to
mandatory redemption in whole or in part at the earliest date for which notice of redemption can be
given upon receipt by the Paying Agent of written notice from the Bank requesting such redemption,
specifying the principal amount of the Series 2006 Bonds to be redeemed (if less than all of the Series 2006
Bonds are to be redeemed) and stating that (1) a Designated Event of Default under and as defined in the
Reimbursement Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or (2) it holds as the registered or beneficial
owner Series 2006 Bonds purchased by the Bank and not remarketed; provided, however, only Series
2006 Bonds so held by the Bank shall be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to clause (2).
Purchase in Lieu of Redemption. When Series 2006 Bonds are called for redemption upon the
demand of the Bank Bonds paid by the County or paid from a draw or claim under the Letter of Credit or
otherwise paid by or on behalf of the Bank shall be purchased in lieu of redemption on the applicable
redemption date at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon
to but not including the date of such purchase, if the Paying Agent has received a written request on or
before the Business Day prior to said purchase date from the County or the Bank, as the case may be,
specifying that the moneys provided or to be provided by such party shall be used to purchase Series
2006 Bonds in lieu of redemption. Any purchase by the County pursuant to the terms of this paragraph
must be made with Eligible Moneys (as defined in the Resolution).
15
Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days before each redemption (15 days in the case of a
mandatory redemption at the demand of the Bank), the Paying Agent will mail notice of redemption by
first-class mail to each Bondholder at the holder's registered address. Any defect in any notice or the
failure of any parties to receive any notice of redemption shall not affect the validity of any proceedings
for the redemption of any Series 2006 Bonds. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph will be
conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee. So long as
the Securities Depository is effecting book-entry transfers of the Series 2006 Bonds, the Paying Agent shall
provide the notice only to the Securities Depository. It is expected that the Securities Depository shall, in
turn, notify its Participants and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified the
Beneficial Owners.
With respect to optional redemptions, made solely at the option of the County, such notice may
be conditional upon moneys being on deposit with the Paying Agent on or prior to the redemption date
in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price on the redemption date. If such notice is conditional
and moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Paying Agent shall not
redeem such Series 2006 Bonds and the Paying Agent shall give notice, in the same manner in which the
notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Series 2006 Bonds
will not be redeemed.
Effect of Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise described in the preceding paragraph with
respect to a conditional notice of redemption, when notice of redemption is required and given, Series
2006 Bonds called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable
redemption price, and in such case when funds are deposited with the Paying Agent sufficient for
redemption, interest on the Series 2006 Bonds to be redeemed ceases to accrue as of the date of
redemption.
Book-Entry Only System
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND DTC'S BOOK-ENTRY ONLY
SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCES THAT THE COUNTY, THE BANK, AND THE
UNDERWRITER, BELIEVES TO BE RELIABLE, BUT THE COUNTY TAKES NO RESPONSIBIIJTY FOR
'fHE ACCURACY THEREOF.
DT'C will act as securities depository for the Series 2006 Bonds. The Series 2006 Bonds will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). Purchases of beneficial ownership
interests in the Series 2006 Bonds will be made in book-entry only form, in the denominations
hereinbefore described. Purchasers of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2006 Bonds ("Beneficial
Owners") will not receive bond certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2006
Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry only system for the Series 2006 Bonds is
discontinued. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2006 Bonds,
and deposited with DTC.
SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2006 BONDS, AS
NOMINEE OF DTc. CERTAIN REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO TI-IE
BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2006 BONDS SHALL MEAN CEDE &

TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2006 BONDS, AND OTHER
RELATED TRANSACTIONS BY AND BETWEEN DTC, THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS AND
BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2006 BONDS IS BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION
FURNISHED BY DTC ACCORDINGLY, TI--IE COUNTY NEITHER MAKES NOR CAN MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THESE MATTERS,
DTC the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the
New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million issues
of u.s. and non-US equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments
from over 100 countries that DTC's participants (the "Direct Participants") deposit with DTC DTC also
facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of securities transactions, in deposited
securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants'
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, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository
Trust and Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC in turn is owned by a number of Direct Participants of
DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation,
and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange LLC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as both US and non-US securities brokers, dealers, banks, trust
companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct
Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard and Poor's
highest rating: AAA. The DTC rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at
www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.
Purchases of Series 2006 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for such Series 2006 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership
interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2006 Bond (the "Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written
confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from
the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2006 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners
will not receive certificates representing their beneficial interests in the Series 2006 Bonds, except in the
event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2006 Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2006 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with
DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co, or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC The deposit of Series 2006 Bonds with DTC and their
registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2006 Bonds. DTC's
17
records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2006 Bonds are
credited, which mayor may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will
remain responsible for keeping an account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements made among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than
all of the Series 2006 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the
interest of each Direct Participant in such bonds, as the case may be, to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
the Series 2006 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's procedures.
Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as possible after the
record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct
Participants to whose accounts the Series 2006 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a
listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Series 2006 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is
to credit Direct Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information
from the County or the Registrar on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown
on DTC's records. Payments by Direct or Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or
registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Direct or Indirect Participants and not of
DTC the Registrar or the County, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the County
and/or the Paying Agent for the Series 2006 Bonds. Disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants
is the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the
responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants.
A Beneficial Owner may give notice to elect to have its Series 2006 Bonds purchased or tendered,
through its Participant, to the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent, and will effect delivery of such
Series 2006 Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Series 2006
Bonds, on DTC's records, to the Paying Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Series 2006
Bonds in connection with a demand for purchase or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when
the ownership rights in the Series 2006 Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series
2006 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such circumstances, in the
event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and
delivered,
The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or
a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered as described in
the Resolution.

PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT

GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS REGISTERED OWNER.
Revision of Book-Entry System; Replacement Series 2006 Bonds

the County, and the Paying Agent will cause the delivery of Series 2006 Bonds certificates to Beneficial
Owners of the Series 2006 Bonds, registered in the names of such Beneficial Owners and in such principal
amounts as will be specified to the Paying Agent by DTC in writing, under the following circumstances:

its responsibilities, (ii) the Securities Depository is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository and
a registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act if 1930, as amended, or (iii)

2006 Bonds, and no successor Securities Depository is appointed.
(b) Participants representing 50% of the Series 2006 Bonds outstanding certify to the Paying
Agent that continuation of the Book-Entry System is no longer in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners of the Series 2006 Bonds.
The Paying Agent may rely on information from the Securities Depository and its
Participants as to the names, addresses and principal amounts held by the Beneficial Owners of the Series
2006 Bonds.

not approved, the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds will be payable,

above under the caption "- Genera]," and the following provisions will apply. Series 2006 Bonds may be
transferred or exchanged for other Series 2006 Bonds in Authorized Denominations at the principal
corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. 'The Paying Agent will require the payment by a Bondholder
requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in respect of
the exchange or transfer but will not impose any other charge on such Bondholder. The Paying Agent
will not be required to transfer or exchange any Bonds during the period beginning 15 days before the
mailing of notice calling the Series 2006 Bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing, or to transfer or exchange any Series 2006 Bonds so selected for redemption in whole or in part

or during the period beginning on any Record Date for such Series 2006 Bonds and ending at the close of

INTEREST RATE CAP TRANSACTION
In order to limit its interest rate exposure on the Series 2006 Bonds the County plans to enter into
an Interest Rate Cap Transaction on or about 2006 with UBS AG, Stamford Branch (the
"Counterparty") which will provide maximum interest rate which the Series 2006 Bonds may bear for the
first three years following the issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds. [describe counterparty]

Under Part 158, PFCs may be used to fund and finance the allowable costs (project costs and
bond-associated debt service and financing costs) of airport-related projects which would be eligible to
receive federal grant funding under the Airport Improvement Program and/or which preserve or
enhance safety, capacity or security of the national air transportation system, or which reduce aircraft
noise, furnish opportunities for enhanced competition between and among airlines, and which have been
approved for any such use by the FAA.
In May 2005, the County submitted its tenth PFC application ("PFC Application No. JO") to the
FAA to impose and use the revenues derived from a $4.50 PFC to pay the PFC eligible costs of the 2006
Project. On August 12, 2005, the County received written notice from the FAA that PFC Application No.
10 was approved for collection, meaning that PFCs can be collected for the 2006 Project, but not yet
applied to the eligible costs of the 2006 Project. At that time, use of PFCs was not approved due to the
pending environmental determinations that are required to be eIigible for use. After the County obtained
the necessary environmental determination then on January 23, 2006 the County applied for Use
Authority ("PFC application No. 11 ") for the PFC elements of the Project. On February 22, 2006 the
County received FAA approval of PFC Application No. 11.

[History of PFCs in Monroe]
Federal Grants
'I'he Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 created the Airport Improvement Grant
Program ("AIP"), which is administered by the FAA and funded by the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
This fund is financed by federal aviation user taxes. Grants are available to airport operators in the form
of "entitlement" funds and "discretionary" funds. Entitlement funds are apportioned annually based
upon enplaned passengers and discretionary funds are avaiIable at the discretion of the FAA based upon
a national priority system. Actual entitlement funds will vary with the actual number of passenger
enplanements, with total appropriations for the AIP and with any revision of the existing statutory
formula for the calculation of such funds. From I, _ through ------' 200--, the
County received in total AlP entitlement and discretionary grants as follows:
Fiscal Years Ended September 30
Such previous grants were used at the Airport primarily for The
funding plan for the Project assumes $6,900,000 of Entitlement Grants over the course of [the next] three
years at $2,300,000 per year. Federal fiscal year 2006 AlP Entitlements ($2,300,000) are anticipated to be
used to pay a portion of the 2006 Project. The plan of finance assumes that AlP Entitlements for Federal
fiscal years 2007 and 2008 (collectively $4,600,000) will be used for principal payments on the Series 2006
Bonds.

State Grants
The Florida Department of Transportation (the "FOOT") administers a grant program funded by
a state-imposed aviation fuel tax. Eligible projects under the program may be funded by up to 50% of the
sponsors' cost of the project. Such projects include all projects eligible under AIP, General Aviation
facilities, including hangars, may be funded up to 80'Y<, of the sponsor's cost. From ],

INVESTMENT CONSIDERA nONS
General
The following section describes certain risk factors affecting the payment of and security for the
Series 2006 Bonds. The following discussion is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the risks associated
with the purchase of the Series 2006 Bonds and does not necessarily reflect the relative importance of the
various risks, Potential investors are advised to consider the following specific factors along with all
other information described elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Official Statement in
evaluating the Series 2006 Bonds.
Passenger Facility Charges
Termination of PFCs. The County's authority to impose and use PFCs is subject to certain terms
and conditions provided in the PFC Act, the PFC Regulation and the FAA's authorizations to impose
PFCs, The County currently is in compliance with all such terms and conditions. If the County fails to
comply with these requirements, the FAA may take action to terminate or to reduce the County's
authority to impose or to use PFCs. In addition, failure to comply with the provisions of the Airport
Noise and Capacity Act may lead to termination of the County's authority to impose PFCs. The FAA's
agreement regarding reducing instead of eliminating the County's rights to collect PFCs after unremedied
violations is not applicable to noise abatement violations. [The County is in compliance with the Airport
Noise and Capacity Act.]
Amendments to PFC Act or PFC Regulations, There is no assurance that the PFC Act will not be
repealed or amended or that the PFC Regulations or any FAA authorizations to impose PFCs will not be
amended in a manner that would adversely affect the County's ability to collect and use PFC Revenues.
26
Collection of the PFCs. The ability of the County to collect sufficient PFCs depends upon a
number of factors including the operation of the Airport by the County, the use of the Airport by
collecting carriers, the efficiency and ability of the collecting carriers to collect and remit PFCs to the
County and the number of enplanements at the Airport. T'he County relies upon the collecting carriers'
collection and remittance of PFCs, and both the County and the FAA rely upon the airlines' reports of
enplanements and collection statistics.
General Factors Affecting County and Airline Revenues
The revenues of both the County and the airlines may be materially affected by many factors
including, without limitation; declining demand, service and cost competition, mergers, the availability
and cost of fuel and other necessary supplies, the capacity of the air traffic control system, high fixed
costs, high capital requirements, the cost and availability of financing, technological changes, national
and international disasters and hostilities, the cost and availability of employees, strikes and other
employee disruptions, the maintenance and replacement requirements of aircraft, the availability of
routes and slots at various airports, litigation liability, regulation by the federal government,
environmental risks and regulations, noise abatement concerns and regulation, deregulation, federal and
state bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other risks. Many airlines, as a result of these and other
factors, have operated at a loss in the past and several have filed for bankruptcy, ceased operations
and/or have merged with other airlines.
General Factors Affecting Airline Activity
There are numerous factors which affect air traffic generally and air traffic at the Airport more
specifically. Demand for air travel is influenced by factors such as population, levels of disposable
income, the nature, level and concentration of industrial and commercial activity in the service area, and
the price of air travel. The price of air travel is, in turn, affected by the number of airlines serving a
particular airport and a particular destination, the financial condition, cost structure and hubbing
strategies of the airlines serving an airport, the willingness of competing airlines to enter into an airport
market, the cost of operating at an airport, the price of fuel, and any operating constraints (due to
capacity, environmental concerns or other related factors) limiting the frequency or timing of airport
traffic within the national system or at a particular airport. In addition, the hostilities in Afghanistan, Iraq
and elsewhere and the threat of renewed terrorist attacks may dampen air traffic.
Effect of Airline Bankruptcy
In the event of bankruptcy proceedings involving one or more of the airlines operating at the
Airport, the debtor or its bankruptcy trustee must determine within a time period determined by the
court whether to assume or reject any lease agreements or operating agreements. In the event of
assumption, the debtor would be required to cure any prior defaults and to provide adequate assurance
of future performances under the relevant agreements. Rejection of a lease or an executory contract by
any of such airlines would give rise to an unsecured claim of the County for damages, the amount of
which in the case of a lease is limited by the Bankruptcy Code.
The PFC Act was amended in 1996 to provide that PFCs that are held by an airline constitute a
trust fund that is held for the beneficial interest of the eligible agency imposing the PFCs and that the
collecting airline holds neither legal nor equitable interest in the PFC revenues, except for any handling
27
fee or retention of interest collected on unremitted proceeds. In addition, federal regulations require
airlines to account for PFC collections separately and to disclose in their financial statements the existence
and amount of funds regarded as tmst funds. The airlines, however, are permitted to commingle PFC
collections with their other sources of revenue and are also entitled to retain interest earned on PFC
collections until such PFC collections must be remitted. If an air carrier is in liquidation or bankruptcy
proceedings, however, it is prohibited from commingling PFC collections with other revenue and from
granting a security interest in PFC collections to a third party.
A VIATION AND AIRLINE INDUSTRY
Uncertainties of the Airline Industry
[To be updated per Report]
[Discuss]
Factors Affecting Air Traffic at Airport
The continued economic viability of the County's Airport depends principally upon the future
demand for air service at the Airport. In addition to the socioeconomic conditions of the air service area
as well as historical Airport passenger and other aeronautical activity, there are several factors that could
influence future levels of passenger traffic at the Airport, among which are the following factors (1)
national economic conditions; (2) state of the airline industry; (3) expansion of regional airlines; (4) cost
and availability of aviation fuel and insurance; (5) aviation taxes; (6) air fares and the expansion of low
cost carriers; (7) existence and location of competing airports; and (8) potential impact of hurricanes. For
a discussion of the factors, see APPENDIX C "REPORT OF TI---IE AIRPORT CONSULTANT".

UNDERWRITING
31

Statement. As compensation for such agreement to purchase the Series 2006 Bonds, the County has
agreed to pay to the Underwriter an Underwriter's commission of The Underwriter has
agreed to purchase all of the Series 2006 Bonds if any of the Series 2006 Bonds are purchased.
TAX MATTERS
General
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), contains a number of requirements
and restrictions which apply to the Series 2006 Bonds, including investment restrictions, a requirement of
periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the timely and proper
use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith, and certain other matters. The County has
covenanted to comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest on
the Series 2006 Bonds to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, Failure to
comply with certain of such requirements could cause interest on the Series 2006 Bonds to be included in
gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds.
Subject to the condition that the County will comply with the pertinent requirements of the Code,
in the opinion of Bond Counsel, under present law, interest on the Series 2006 Bonds (i) is not included in
the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except during any period while a
Series 2006 Bond is held by a "substantial user" of the facilities financed or refinanced by the Series 2006
Bonds or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code, and (2) is an item of tax
preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations.
As to questions of fact material to the opinion of Bond Counsel, Bond Counsel will rely upon
representations and covenants made on behalf of the County in the Resolution, certificates of appropriate
officers of the County and certificates of public officials (including certifications as to the use of Series
2006 Bond proceeds and of the property financed thereby), without undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation.
The Code contains numerous provisions which could affect the economic value of the Series 2006
Bonds to certain Series 2006 Bondholders, Prospective Series 2006 Bondholders, however, should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of such provisions on their own tax situations.
The Series 2006 Bonds will not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of
Section 265(b) of the Code. Interest or indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Series
2006 Bonds, or in the case of banks and certain other financial institutions, interest expense allocated to
interest on the Series 2006 Bonds, will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986
The Code contains a number of provisions that apply to the Series 2006 Bonds, including, among
other things, restrictions relating to the use or investment of the proceeds of the Series 2006 Bonds and the
payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the Series 2006 Bonds to the Treasury of
32
the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may resuIt in interest on the Series 2006 Bonds
being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance.
Collateral Tax Consequences
Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the federal income
tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of, the
Series 2006 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Series 2006 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of
Series 2006 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For example, ownership of the
Series 2006 Bonds may result in collateral tax consequences to various types of corporations relating to (1)
denial of interest deduction to purchase or carry such Series 2006 Bonds, (2) the branch profits tax, and (3)
the inclusion of interest on the Series 2006 Bonds in passive income for certain Subchapter S corporations.
In addition, the interest on the Series 2006 Bonds may be included in gross income by recipients of certain
Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits.
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SAL,E OR DISPOSITION OF THE SERIES 2006 BONDS AND TlTE
RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX
CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, nIE CONSEQUENCES REFERRED TO ABOVE. PROSPECTIVE
BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR lAX ADVISORS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT
REGARD.
Florida Taxes
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the Series 2006 Bonds and the income thereon are exempt from
taxation under the laws of the State of Florida except any tax imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes,
on income, interest, or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations as defined in said Chapter 220.
Other Tax Matters
Interest on the Series 2006 Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation under
applicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the Series 2006 Bonds should consult
their own tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2006 Bonds in their particular
state or local jurisdiction.
During recent years, legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in some cases
enacted, that altered certain federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership of obligations that are
similar to the Series 2006 Bonds. In some cases, these proposals have contained provisions that altered
these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alterations of federal tax consequences may have affected
the market value of obligations similar to the Series 2006 Bonds. From time to time, legislative proposals
are pending which could have an effect on both the federal tax consequences resulting from ownership of
the Series 2006 Bonds and their market value. No assurance can be given that additional legislative
proposals will not be introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon,
the Series 2006 Bonds.
LEGAL MATTERS
33
Legal matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds are subject to
the approving legal opinion of Nabors, Giblin and Nickerson, P.A., Tampa, Florida, Bond Counsel. The
form of such opinion is included as Appendix B hereto. The actual legal opinion to be delivered may
vary from the text in Appendix B if necessary to reflect the facts and law on the date of delivery of the
Series 2006 Bonds. The opinion will speak only as of its date, and subsequent distribution of it by
recirculation of this Official Statement or otherwise shall create no implication that, subsequent to the
date of the opinion, Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses any opinion concerning any of the matters
referenced in the opinion. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Bank by Moyle, Flanigan,
Katz, Raymond & Sheehan, P.A., West Palm Beach, Florida. Certain matters will be passed upon for the
Underwriter by UBS Financial Services, Orlando, Florida. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for
the County by the County Attorney and by the County's Disclosure Counsel, Bryant Miller Olive, Tampa
Florida,
Bond Counsel has not been engaged or undertaken to review (i) the accuracy, completeness or
sufficiency of this Official Statement or any other officer's material related to the Series 2006 Bonds except
as may be provided in a supplemental opinion of Bond Counsel to the Underwriter, upon which only it
may rely, or (ii) the compliance with any federal or state law with regard to the sale or distribution of the
Series 2006 Bonds,

warrant. Neither the Underwriter nor the Remarketing Agent has undertaken any responsibility either to
bring to the attention of the holders of the Series 2006 Bonds any proposed revision or withdrawal of the
ratings of the Series 2006 Bonds or to oppose any such proposed revision or withdrawal. A downward
revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2006
Bonds,
LITIGATION
No litigation or inquiry of any kind in or by any judicial or administrative court or agency is
pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the County with respect to (i) the organization and
existence of the County, (ii) the County's authority to adopt or deliver the Resolution, the Purchase
Contract or the Series 2006 Bonds, (iii) the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, or the Series 2006
Bonds, or the transactions contemplated thereby, (iv) the title of any officer of the County who executed
the Resolution or the Series 2006 Bonds or (v) any authorization or proceedings related to the adoption of
the Resolution or the Series 2006 Bonds, on behalf of the County, and no such authorization or
proceedings have been repealed, revoked, rescinded or amended but are in full force and effect.
CONTINGENT FEES
34
The County has retained Bond Counsel, the Financial Advisor and Disclosure Counsel with
respect to the authorization, sale, execution and delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds. Payment of the fees of
such professionals and an underwriting discount to the Underwriters are each contingent upon the
issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds.
ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES
The remedies available to the owners of the Series 2006 Bonds upon an event of default under the
Resolution, are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion
and delay. Under existing constitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, including specifically
the federal bankruptcy code, the remedies specified by the Resolution, the Series 2006 Bonds, and the
Reimbursement Agreement may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to
be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds (including Bond Counsel's
approving opinion) will be qualified, as to the enforceability of the remedies provided in the various legal
instruments, by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors enacted before of after such delivery. See "APPENDIX F - SUMMARY OF
THE PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION" attached hereto for a description of events of default and
remedies.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Series 2006 Bonds are exempt from the continuing disclosure requirements of paragraph
(b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule") adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 so long as they bear interest at a Week~y Rate. If the County converts the
Series 2006 Bonds to bear interest at a Fixed Rate, the Series 2006 Bonds will become subject to the
continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule and, in such event, the County has agreed to comply with
the requirements of the Rule which include, among other things, entering into an undertaking to provide
continuing information as required by the Rule.

the County, At the time of delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds, the County will furnish a certificate to the
effect that nothing has come to their attention which would lead it to believe that the Official Statement
(other than information herein related to the Bank, DTC, the book-entry only system of registration and
the information contained under the caption "Tax Exemption" as to which no opinion shall be expressed),
as of its date and as of the date of delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds, contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact which should be included therein for the purposes for which
the Official Statement is intended to be used, or which is necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) Netting, If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable: --
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, cach party's obligation to make payment of any such amount
will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been
payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been
payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect
of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of

as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but
excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of
daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation

designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Tennination Date in respect of
all outstanding Transactions. IC however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as
applying to a party, then an Early Tenllination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur

Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately
preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the

analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.

and will also give such other infonllation about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably
reqUire.
(ii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b )(i)(1) occurs and there are two
Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reaeh agreement within 30 days after
notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.
(iii) Right to Terminate. If:
(1) an agreement under Section 6(b)(ii) has not becn effected with respect to all Affeeted
Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further
payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2( d) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will
be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount,
if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6( e),
(d) Calculations,
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early
Tennination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, ifany, contemplated by Section 6(e)
and will provide to the other party a statement (l) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations
(including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving
details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written
confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in detennining a Market Quotation, the records of
the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such
quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date
under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the
case of an Early Temlination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default)
and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable
is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination
Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law)
interest thereon (before as well as after judgment), from (and including) the relevant Early
Temlination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such
interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments on Ear!.v Termination. If an Early Temlination Date occurs, the following provisions
shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation"
or "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method", If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation"
or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:-
(I) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the
Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of
(A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of
the Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over
(B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay
to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect
of this Agreement.
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply,
an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid Amounts
owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party;
if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount
to the Defaulting Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss, If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable
equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative
7
ISDA@1992
Second Printing
number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting
Party.
(ii) Termination Event.\~ If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:-
(1) One Affected Party, If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in
accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss
applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting
Party will bc deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the
Affected Party, respcctivcly, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being
terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affectcd Parties:-
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will detelmine a Settlement Amount in respect
of the Tenninated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (1) the sum of
(a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher
Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
Amount ("Y") and (b) the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Unpaid Amounts owing
to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreemcnt (or, if
fcwcr than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated
Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the
Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the lower
Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a posItIve number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X
will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs
because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under
this Section 6( e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained
by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for
payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under
this Section 6(e) is a reasonable prc-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for
the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement neither pmiy will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence
of such losses.
