UBS INVESTMENT BANK Dated: July 18, 2006 10 In F. ADVANCED PRINCIPAL RETIREMENT As stated above, the plan of finance for the 2006 Project calls for the application of $4,600,000 in anticipated future AIP entitlement grants funds to the advanced payment of Series 2006 Bonds principal in equal amounts over the course of two (2) years (Fiscal Year 2007 through Fiscal Year 2008). In addition to these AIP grant funds, the plan of finance calls for the application of approximately $8.7 million in anticipated future FDOT grant funds to the advanced payment of Series 2006 Bonds principal in varying amounts over the course of five (5) years (Fiscal Year 2006 through Fiscal Year 2010). As a result of the application of these grant funds, it is estimated that principal outstanding on the Series 2006 Bonds will be reduced by $14,978,000 by Fiscal Year 2011 resulting in an estimated remaining outstanding principal amount of $15,476,000 at that time. Table II4 depicts the application of AIP Entitlement grant funds and FDOT grant funds to the advanced payment of principal outstanding on the Series 2006 Bonds. o�.,•. r...,r f.-r..t ....r rW nwtnt e.�w n.o.. �qY +r•+• - qf� ar[na O t y yt u„ >rl Ntl NI _ s >b rnl Inp1e1 v�Im �� 0 ® tls S•L.

PFCS APPLIED TO SERIES 2006 BONDS DEBT SERVICE C The County has applied to and received approval from the FAA for the collection and use of certain PFCs for the payment of the PFC eligible portions of the Series 2006 Bonds debt service. The plan of finance for the 2006 Project assumes that 100% of the Series 2006 Bonds debt service will be PFC eligible and payable from PFCs (except for the advanced payment of principal to be paid with FDOT and AIP grant funds)'. The estimated amount of annual PFC collections and their application toward the payment of debt service on the Series 2006 Bonds are presented on Table II-4. Based on (i) the estimated amount of PFC collections prior to and accumulated during the period in which interest is being capitalized on the Series 2006 Bonds (second half of Fiscal Year 2006, Fiscal Year 2007 and the first half of Fiscal Year 2008) and (ii) the advanced repayment of outstanding principal on the Series 2006 Bonds for each Fiscal Year, annual PFC collections and certain PFCs accumulated in the PFC Capital Improvement Fund would be sufficient to pay the annual debt service payable for each such year. Furthermore, it is estimated that an aggregate amount of PFCs sufficient to pay all the PFC eligible debt service on the Series 2006 Bonds would be collected by the County by Fiscal Year 2027. H. THE BOND RESOLUTION The proposed Series 2006 Bonds are to be issued under the terms and conditions of the Airport Revenue Bond Resolution ("Resolution") describing the terms for the sale of the Series 2006 Bonds and adopted by the County on June 21, 2006. A summary of certain terms and conditions of the Resolution is provided in Section V hereof. I. AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANTS Congress began appropriating money for airport development in 1946 through the enactment of the Federal Airport Act and since has subsequently enacted a series of laws in support of the national air transportation system. In 1970, the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970 was enacted which established the Airport and Airways Trust Fund ("Trust Fund") to pay for needed airport improvements. The Trust Fund is supported by a series of taxes on the users of the national air transportation system through charges on passenger rickets, cargo waybills, aviation jet fuel, etc. The Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 ("1982 Act") authorized the capital grant-in- aid program known as the Airport Improvement Program which authorizes and appropriates funds for eligible airport improvements. The AIP is funded by the Trust Fund and administered by the FAA. AIP eligible projects include (i) airport planning; (ii) airport development; (iii) noise compatibility programs (80% at large and medium hub airports); and (iv) terminal development at all but large hub airports. An airport must be included in the National Plan of ' See Section II (K) for a discussion on PFC eligibility of the 2006 Project and FAA approval status. Newton & Associates, Inc.
