.P1? VIRGIN ISLANDS PORT AUTHORITY Post Office Box 301707 JUL 1 2 I ST. THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS U.S.A. 00803-1707 July 8, 2011 Maria Hodge, Esq. Hod e and Francois Re: Your Client - Thomas World Air, LLC Dear Atty. Hodge: The Virgin Islands Port Authority ("VIPA") is preparing to address the request by Thomas World Air, LLC ("TWA") to lease 13,200 sq. ft. of land on which to build a hangar at the Cyril E. King Airport, St. Thomas, VI. A study of possible sites was conducted and Option 5 has been selected by VIPA (see enclosures). In addition, please note that the total area of the hangar presented is 13,407.5 square feet (110' x 200' + 10' x 20.75'), not 13,200 square feet. In order to utilize the area identified in Option 5, an apron, bridge and connector will need to be constructed to connect the hangar to Taxiway B. The bridge would span the existing gut/ditch and would be the sub-structure for the connector. Please note that the Virgin Islands Port Authority will not construct the apron, the bridge, nor the connector, therefore the cost to do so shall be borne by TWA. Please have TWA review the information enclosed to determine if they care to proceed with the project considering the additional cost needed to construct the connector. If so, please revise the description of work to be performed, estimated cost of investment and timetable in the application. Please note that VIPA reserves the right to review and approve the design and construction of the proposed improvements. If not, please advise accordingly. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or at Sincerely, et. t Denise M. Mills, f PM.
