Account times (II) the PFC Debt Service Percentage. Any remaining receipts of PFC Revenues
shall be deposited into the 2013 PFC Coverage Subaccount in the amount necessary to maintain
therein the 2013 PFC Coverage Amount, which is defined as 25% of the Debt Service on the

in excess of the amount required to be transferred to the 2013 Pledged PFC Account and the
2013 PFC Coverage Subaccount shall remain in the Passenger Facility Charge Fund, and
invested pursuant to the Indenture; however, such excess PFC Revenues may be pledged to
secure other indebtedness or utilized for other PFC-eligible projects and are not pledged to
secure the Series 2013 Bonds. The PFC Debt Service Percentage is defined in the Third
Supplemental Indenture as determined by dividing the total costs of PFC Eligible Projects
funded from proceeds of the Series 2003 Bonds by the total cost of the projects financed by the
Series 2003 Bonds. The PFC Debt Service Percentage is expected to be % with respect to
the Series 2013 Bonds.

THE AIRLINE AGREEMENTS
The County has executed Signatory Airline Operating Agreements and Terminal
Building Leases ("Airline Agreements") with Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United
Airlines and US Airways, each of which operates as a signatory carrier at the Airport. The
provisions of the Airline Agreements commenced (other than with respect to airlines that began
service after such date) October 1, 2010 and unless terminated sooner, shall expire on September
30, 2013. Delta, American and U.S. Airways have extended their agreements for three years.
Although United has agreed to an extension in principle, that extension is still in coordination.
Pursuant to the terms of the Airline Agreement, the County calculates airline terminal
rentals under a compensatory approach with revenue sharing credits under which the airlines pay
for their specific use of the terminal area. The calculation of landing fees is determined based on
a residual approach with revenue sharing credits. Non-Signatory airlines (of which there
currently are none) are required to pay certain non-signatory rates. Amounts due under the
Airline Agreements compose a substantial part of the Net Revenues. The Airline Agreements
impose a terminal rental rate for airlines preferential hold rooms, office, counter and support
space, per-passenger common use charges for outbound and inbound baggage space and a
landing fee rate per enplaned passenger, a security charge and loading bridge charge. The
terminal rate calculation combines direct and indirect operation and maintenance expenses and
debt service and other requirements attributed to the terminal area cost center with certain credits
relating thereto. The landing fee rate calculation combines direct and indirect operation and
maintenance expenses and debt service and other requirements attributable to the airfield cost
center with certain credits.
The County has covenanted in the Indenture that it will not amend or terminate the
Airline Agreements in any manner which would impair the ability of the County to comply with
its Rate Covenant. See "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2013 BONDS -- Rate Covenant". For a
discussion of the airlines, see "THE AIRLINES AND THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY".

Moneys on deposit in the funds and accounts created under the Indenture may be invested
only in Permitted Investments. Additionally, investment of surplus funds of the County is subject

of a formal written investment policy for each unit of local government within the state. In the
absence of such a formal written investment policy, investment of surplus funds is limited to
certain specified types of investments. The Board of County Commissioners has adopted a formal
investment policy (the "Investment Policy") which governs the investment of surplus County
funds. The County’s Investment Policy applies to all funds held by or for the benefit of the Board
and provides for monthly reporting and quarterly detailed analysis of the investment portfolio of
the County. The Investment Policy specifies the types of investments permitted and specifically
prohibits the investment in derivative financial products. The Investment Policy specifies that the
investment of bond proceeds may be further limited or expanded by the respective bond resolution
or covenants. The Clerk of the Circuit Court, a separate, elected, constitutional officer of the
County, has been designated by the Board of County Commissioners to serve as investment
manager pursuant to Section 125.31, Florida Statutes. A copy of the Investment Policy may be
obtained from the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
NORTHWEST FLORIDA REGIONAL AIRPORT
The following sets forth a summary description of the Northwest Florida Regional Airport
and its operations.
22
General
The Airport is located approximately six miles northwest of the City of Fort Walton Beach,
Florida, in Okaloosa County, Florida, on approximately 130 acres of land on Eglin Air Force Base.
Eglin Air Force Base is the largest Air Force base in the world, covering 724 square miles of land
and approximately 123,000 square miles of water ranges in the Gulf of Mexico. The base is under
the direction of the Air Material Command and the Air Armament Center. The Air Armament
Center is responsible for planning, development, direction, and testing and evaluation of U.S. and
allied air armament, navigation/guidance systems, and command and control systems for all air-
delivered weapons. Eglin houses over fifty associate units of the Air Force, including specialized
schools, operations and tactical wings, laboratories and research units. The Airport is located on
the western side of the military airfield. The County has leased the property on which the Airport
sits from the Department of the Air Force for many years. The current lease (the "Lease") was
executed on July 30, 2007 and ends on July 16, 2038. The rent payable under the Lease is based
on a base rental of $318,000 per year, escalated at 3% per year. The rent payable for fiscal year
2012 was $357,912. The Lease may be terminated by the Air Force for failure to cure a default
under the Lease during a reasonable cure period, or at any time during any national emergency.
The Lease may also be terminated or suspended 30 days after a determination by the Secretary of
the Air Force that paramount military necessity at Eglin Air Force Base requires such suspension
or termination. The County may terminate the Lease upon 90 days' notice. Under the Lease, the
County is required to pay any taxes or assessments imposed upon the County with respect to the
Airport property, to maintain the property in good order and condition, to repair or replace
damaged property, to bear the risk of loss of the leased premises and to insure such risk.
The Lease provides that all construction or alterations to the Airport must be approved by
the Air Force and the County's operation of the Airport is subject to the priority and primacy of the
Air Force's mission at Eglin Air Force Base, in the
