REFERRED TO AS THE "FAA"), OFFERS AND AGREES to pay, as the United States
share of the allowable costs incurred in accomplishing the project, ninety percentum of all
allowable project costs. This grant is made on and subject to the following terms and conditions:
Part II - Offer of Financial Assistance
1. The allowable costs of the project shall not include any costs determined by the State to
be ineligible for consideration as to allowability under Title 49 U.S.C., the V.T.C.A.
Transportation Code, Title 3, Chapters 21-22, et seq., (Vernon and Vernon Supp), and the
Airport Zoning Act, Tex. Loc. Govt. Code Ann. §§ 241.001 et seq. (Vernon and Vernon
Supp).
2. It is estimated that design/engineering project costs will be approximately $130,000
(Amount A). It is further estimated that approximately $130,000 (Amount B) of the
project costs will be eligible for federal financial assistance, and that federal financial
assistance will be for ninety percent (90%) of the eligible project costs. Final
determination of federal eligibility of total project costs will be determined by the State in
accordance with federal guidelines following completion of project.
The estimated project cost for the construction phase of this project is $1,050,000
(Amount C). The construction phase will be started upon completion of design,
dependent upon availability of federal funds, and approval of the Texas Transportation
Commission. A separate grant will be issued for the construction phase.
In the event that federal funds are unavailable, this Agreement shall automatically be
voided and become of no force and effect, except that unexpended or unencumbered
moneys actually deposited by the Sponsor and held with the State for project purposes
shall be returned to the Sponsor.
3. The maximum obligation of the United States payable under this offer shall be $117,000
(Amount D).
This grant should not be construed as block grant funds for the Sponsor, but as a grant for
funding of the scope items as listed on page one of this agreement. It is the intent of the
State to provide funding to complete the approved work items of this grant and not to
amend the scope of work to include items outside of the current determined needs of this
project. Scope of work may be amended as necessary to fulfill the unforeseen needs of
this specific development project within the spirit of the approved scope, subject to the
availability of state, federal, and/or local funds.
4. It is estimated that the Sponsor's share of the total project costs will be $13,000 (Amount
E). The Sponsor specifically agrees that it shall pay any project costs, which exceed the
sum of the federal share (Amount D).
It is further agreed that the Sponsor will reimburse the State for any payment or payments

� uLCe
made by the State in behalf of the Sponsor which are in excess of the federal percentage
of financial participation as stated in Paragraph II-2. The State shall refund to the
Sponsor, at the financial closure of the project, any excess funds provided by the Sponsor.
5. During design, if the estimated eligible construction project costs exceed Amount C,
above, the Sponsor may request the State to void this Agreement. The State shall agree to
void this Agreement upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
a. the Sponsor's request to the State to void the Agreement shall be in writing and
dated; and
b. if required by the State, the Sponsor shall reimburse the State for funds expended
on this project and Sponsor shall assume the responsibility for any future expenses
for contracted services or materials related to the project for which a contract had
been executed prior to the Sponsor's request to void the Agreement. Sponsor
funds held by the State may be retained until this requirement is satisfied; and
C. failure on the part of the Sponsor to comply with the conditions of this paragraph
shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
6. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Paragraph II-5 above, the State shall
declare this Agreement null and void, and this Agreement shall have no force and effect,
except that unexpended or unencumbered moneys actually deposited by the Sponsor and
held with the State for project purposes shall be returned to the Sponsor within a
reasonable time.
7. If there is an overrun in the eligible project costs, the State may increase the grant to
cover the amount of overrun not to exceed the statutory twenty-five (25%) percent
limitation, and will advise the Sponsor by amendment of the increase. Upon receipt of
the aforementioned amendment, the maximum obligation of the United States is adjusted
to the amount specified and the Sponsor will remit their share of the increased grant
amount.
Participation in additional federally eligible costs may require approval by the Texas
Transportation Commission. The State will not authorize expenditures in excess of the
dollar amounts identified in this Agreement and any amendments, without the consent of
the Sponsor.
Payment of the United States share of the allowable project costs will be made in
accordance with the provisions of such regulations and procedures as the State and the
FAA, shall prescribe. Final determination of the United States share will be based upon
the final audit of the total amount of allowable project costs and settlement will be made
for any upward or downward adjustments to the Federal share of costs.
8. Sponsor's share of project costs (Amount E) shall be paid initially in cash when requested
by the State. At project closeout, Sponsor will be reimbursed for any credited amounts
that exceed Sponsor's share.

project and its ability to finance and operate the project.
Following the execution of this Agreement and upon written demand by the State, the
Sponsor's financial obligation (Amount E) shall be due and payable to the State. State
may request the Sponsor's financial obligation in partial payments. Should the Sponsor
fail to pay the obligation, either in whole or in part, within 30 days of written demand, the
State may exercise its rights under Paragraph V-7. Likewise, should the State be
unwilling or unable to pay its obligation in a timely manner, the failure to pay shall be
considered a breach and the Sponsor may exercise any rights and remedies it has at law or
equity.
Expenditures for eligible project costs for the above project made by the State or the _
Sponsor prior to the award of a federal grant for the project, and prior to actual receipt of
the authority to expend federal grant funds, shall be made from Sponsor funds.
10. The State shall make all reasonable attempts to acquire federal funding for the completion
and construction of this project within two years of completion of design services. The

a. The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical users of the airport,other than facilities
owned or controlled by the United States,shall be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance
with the minimum standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable Federal,state and local agencies for maintenance
and operation.It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon which would interfere with its use for airport
purposes.It will suitably operate and maintain the airport and all facilities thereon or connected therewith,with due regard to
climatic and flood conditions.Any proposal to temporarily close the airport for non-aeronautical purposes must first be
approved by the Secretary.In furtherance of this assurance,the sponsor will have in effect arrangements for-(1)Operating
the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever required;
(2)Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport conditions,including temporary conditions;and
(3)Promptly notifying airmen of any condition affecting aeronautical use of the airport.Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to require that the airport be operated for aeronautical use during temporary periods when snow,flood or other
climatic conditions interfere with such operation and maintenance.Further,nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the
maintenance,repair,restoration,or replacement of any structure or facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due
to an act of God or other condition or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items that it owns or controls upon which
Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to
protect instrument and visual operations to the airport(including established minimum flight altitudes)will be adequately cleared and protected by
removing,lowering,relocating,marking,or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation
of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.It will take appropriate action,to the extent reasonable,including the adoption of zoning laws,to
restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations,
including landing and takeoff of aircraft.In addition,if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation,it will not cause or permit any
change in land use,within its jurisdiction,that will reduce its compatibility,with respect to the airport,of the noise compatibility program measures
upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust
discrimination to all types,kinds and classes of aeronautical activities,including commercial aeronautical activities offering
services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement,contract,lease,or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the airport is granted to
any person,firm,or corporation to conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at
the airport,the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to-
(1) furnish said services on a reasonable,and not unjustly discriminatory,basis to all users thereof,and
(2) charge reasonable,and not unjustly discriminatory,prices for each unit or service,provided that the
contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts,rebates,or other similar types of
price reductions to volume purchasers.
C. Each fixed-based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates,fees,rentals,and other charges as are
uniformly applicable to all other fixed-based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same
or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed-based operator that is
authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport(whether as a tenant,non tenant,or subtenant of another air carrier tenant)shall
be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,regulations,conditions,rates,fees,rentals,and
other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all
such air carriers which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities,subject to reasonable classifications
such as tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers.Classification or status as tenant or signatory
shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those
already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
f It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person,firm,or corporation
operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees[including,but not
limited to maintenance,repair,and fueling]that it may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance,the services
involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by commercial
aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable,and not unjustly discriminatory,conditions to be met by all users of
the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type,kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport if such action is
necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the public.
Page 20 of 27
23. Exclusive Rights.It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing,or intending to provide,
aeronautical services to the public.For purposes of this paragraph,the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed-based operator shall
not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly,burdensome,or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator to provide
such services,and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of space
leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such airport.It further agrees that it
will not,either directly or indirectly,grant or permit any person,firm,or corporation,the exclusive right at the airport to
conduct any aeronautical activities,including,but not limited to charter flights,pilot training,aircraft rental and sightseeing,
aerial photography,crop dusting,aerial advertising and surveying,air carrier operations,aircraft sales and services,sale of
aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity,repair and maintenance
of aircraft,sale of aircraft parts,and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft
can be regarded as an aeronautical activity,and that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity
now existing at such an airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49,United States Code.
24.Fee and Rental Structure.It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will make the
airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport,taking into account such factors as the volume of
traffic and economy of collection.No part of the Federal share of an airport development,airport planning or noise compatibility project for which a
grant is made under Title 49,United States Code,the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982,the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and
Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees,rates,and charges for users of that airport.
25.Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December 30,1987,
will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport;the local airport system;or other local facilities which
are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air
transportation of passengers or property;or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.Provided,however,that if
covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3,1982,by the owner or operator of the airport,or
provisions enacted before September 3, 1982,in governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing,provide for
the use of the revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities,including the airport,to support not only the
airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities,then this limitation on the use of all
revenues generated by the airport(and,in the case of a public airport,local taxes on aviation fuel)shall not apply.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984,the sponsor will direct that the audit will
review,and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning,the use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph
(a),and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent
with Title 49,United States Code and any other applicable provision of law,including any regulation promulgated by the
Secretary or Administrator.
C. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49,United States Code.
26.Reports and Inspections.It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary may reasonably
request and make such reports available to the public;make available to the public at reasonable times and places a report of
the airport budget in a format prescribed by the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects,make the airport and all airport records and documents affecting the airport,
including deeds,leases,operation and use agreements,regulations and other instruments,available for inspection by any duly
authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request;
C. for noise compatibility program projects,make records and documents relating to the project and continued
compliance with the terms,conditions,and assurances of the grant agreement including deeds,leases,agreements,
regulations,and other instruments,available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable
request;and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary,provide to the Secretary and make available to the public
following each of its fiscal years,an annual report listing in detail:
(i) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for which each such
payment was made;and
(ii) all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the amount of
compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft.It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial
assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft
at all times without charge,except,if the use by Government aircraft is substantial,charge may be made for a reasonable share,proportional to such
use,for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used.Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary,or otherwise agreed to by the
sponsor and the using agency,substantial use of an airport by Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in
excess of those which,in the opinion of the Secretary,would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas by other authorized aircraft,or during
any calendar month that—
a. Five(5)or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent thereto;or
Page 21 of 27
b. The total number of movements(counting each landing as a movement)of Government aircraft is 300 or more,
or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airport(the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by
gross weights of such aircraft)is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic
control or air navigation activities,or weather-reporting and communication activities related to air traffic control,any areas of land or water,or
estate therein,or rights in buildings of the sponsor as the Secretary considers necessary or desirable for construction,operation,and maintenance at
Federal expense of space or facilities for such purposes.Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within four
months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing(1)boundaries of the airport and all
proposed additions thereto,together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport
purposes and proposed additions thereto;(2)the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and
structures(such as runways,taxiways,aprons,terminal buildings,hangars and roads),including all proposed extensions and
reductions of existing airport facilities;and(3)the location of all existing and proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing
improvements thereon.Such airport layout plans and each amendment,revision,or modification thereof,shall be subject to
the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the
Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan.The sponsor will not make or permit any changes or alterations in the airport
or any of its facilities which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary and which might,
in the opinion of the Secretary,adversely affect the safety,utility or efficiency of the airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the Secretary determines adversely affects
the safety,utility,or efficiency of any federally owned,leased,or funded property on or off the airport and which is not in
conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary,the owner or operator will,if requested,by the
Secretary(1)eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary;or(2)bear all costs of relocating such
property(or replacement thereof)to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such property(or replacement
thereof)to the level of safety,utility,efficiency,and cost of operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or
its facilities.
30. Civil Rights.It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall,on the grounds of race,creed,
color,national origin,sex,age,or handicap be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from funds received from
this grant.This assurance obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program,except where
Federal financial assistance is to provide,or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures or improvements
