Letter from Police Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs:

Mr Dirk Barnes

Managing Director

Trinidad and Tobago Air Support Company Limited

Dear Mr Barnes,

Re: Letter of Intent

I wish to express my thanks to your company for your interest to supply your unique services to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service as a law enforcement aviation pilot project,

As you are aware, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service is in the process of introducing new policing initiatives that will increase interaction and cooperation with the national community with the aim of reducing crime. As part of our 21st Century Policing Initiative we see possible integration of your Sky View Surveillance Support Proposal into our future operations.

The aviation support pilot project by your company appears to be well organized with a high potential of success. In as much, we wish to evaluate the capabilities of this type of aircraft in order to measure the effectives and efficiency of this form of air support. With this in mind I have approved the twelve week pilot project proposal.

I propose that the terms set out below should be incorporated into a contract agreement (the "Contract') namely as follows:

1. Client: The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service "hereafter termed the Police Service", Ministry of National Security of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago "hereafter termed the Ministry'.

2. Contractor: Trinidad and Tobago Air Support Company Ltd.

3. Deliverables: 720 hours use of Zenith CH 750 Air Scout Aircraft over a twelve week evaluation project period. The Contractor will provide check flights with four selected members of the Police Service for a period not exceeding two weeks.

4. Contract Cost: TT$902,772.00 (US$140,400.00)

5. Contract Period: twelve weeks, start date to be defined in the Contract.

6. Contract Engagement: Upon acceptance of this letter of intent, the Contractor agrees to start the delivery process and facilitate availability of aircraft to the Police Service, upon which a Contract would be signed and a purchase order would be issued. The date of the Contract represents the start date of the Project.

7. Conditions Precedent: The client should pay in full the Contract cost (see Sub-Para 4) immediately on the successful completion of the Contract and expiration of the contract period.

8. Contract Evaluation: The Police Service shall evaluate the pilot project and use this evaluation to determine if a further contractual agreement with the Contractor should be negotiated.

9. Additional Points: This letter of intent sets out the major terms of the agreement that the Client is prepared to formally engage. The letter of intent is in no way a legally binding agreement between the Client and the Contractor but serves to formally express the Police Commissioner's approval to engage the Pilot Project with the Contractor.

You are requested to reply in writing indicating your acceptance of the terms in this letter and I thank you for collaborating with us.

Regards

Dr Dwayne Gibbs

Commissioner of Police
