UBS UBS Investment Research UBS Business Jet Survey Recovery Stalls • Index holds at 50 Our March Business Jet Index came in at 50, indicative of a stable market and in line with our prior survey from January following increases in each of our previous eight surveys. While our Index continues to reflect a stable market, our straight up measure of absolute business conditions moved modestly lower this time, the first decline since March of 2009 and indicative of a slight degradation in market conditions since January. • Survey reflects improving customer interest Our survey continues to reflect improving customer interest and a strong I2-month outlook, although it is still weighed down by very high used inventory levels. Pricing in most models is off 30-40% from peak levels, but now appears to be stabilizing. Overall, our respondents cited an increased willingness to add to their own inventories this time, reflecting increased confidence in near-term pricing/liquidity. Despite improved buyer interest/outlook. we think significant oversupply on the used market, particularly in small/midsize aircraft, will continue to overhang new aircraft orders. • Prefer GD/COL Our Buy rating on GI) reflects an improved defense risk profile and stabilization in our bizjet survey, with particular strength at the high end.

EFTA_R1_01519443 EFTA02443877 UBS Business Jet Survey 24 Mach 2010 Business Jet Market Survey Our UBS Business Jet Market Survey is designed to provide timely market data supplied directly by industry professionals. We regularly survey a group of US domestic and international broker/dealers, manufacturers, fractional providers, financiers and others, from whom we received 150 responses in March. Investment Conclusion Our March Business Jet Index came in at 50, indicative of a stable market and in line with our prior survey from January following increases in each of our previous eight surveys. Our Index measures the change in our respondents' views from our prior survey and is not meant to be an absolute measure of business conditions. Our straight up measure of absolute business conditions continues to reflect a depressed market, moving modestly lower this time to 3.6 (from 3.7), the first decline since March of 2009 and indicative of a slight degradation in overall market conditions since our prior survey. Our survey continues to reflect improving customer interest and a strong I?- month outlook, although it is still weighed down by very high used inventory levels. Pricing in most models is off 30-40% from peak levels, but now appears to be stabilizing. Overall, our respondents cited an increased willingness to add to their own inventories this time, reflecting increased confidence in near term pricing/liquidity. Despite improved buyer interest/outlook, we think significant oversupply on the used market, particularly in small/midsize aircraft, will continue to overhang new aircraft orders. While not a component of our composite index, our young inventory score remains well below 50, indicating significant oversupply of high-quality young used aircraft. Our Financing score, also not a component of our index, continues to reflect incremental improvement in financing availability.

We have weighted each factor in our index based on our perception of its overall importance to the condition of the new business jet market. Our index is scored on a scale of zero to 100, with 51-100 representing incrementally strengthening market conditions. 50 incrementally stable, and 0-49 incrementally weakening market conditions.

Note that while our Business Jet Market Index (discussed earlier) indicates incremental change from the prior period, this question is meant to measure the absolute level of business conditions.

Current Market Conditions ■ Things are getting better, but we are not in a 'V' recovery, not even close. ■ Still too many buyers only interested in buying at wholesale prices. ■ We have seen a strong upturn, back to the levels of 18 months ago. ■ International (Non-US) markets are holding a good level of interest and sales, reflecting an improved economy in some regions, Brazil for example. ■ Flying has picked up 5-10% since this time last year. ■ Best first quarter in years! Prices have been dropping over the last couple of weeks, which probably helps. Business is getting better by the day! ■ Business is improving. ■ The used market is approaching normal levels, although pricing remains highly depressed. Interest & Inquiries ■ Call volume and interest are still rising, with most of our interest coming from overseas. ■ There is activity in the marketplace but it seems to come in spurts. Other dealers have said the same thing to me. Things heat up, some sales take place and then everything goes quiet for a few weeks. ■ We continue to observe a gradual improvement in demand. ■ Interest levels continue to rise, but this has not yet translated into a significant improvement in sales. Pricing ■ Buyers are seeking large discounts on repo purchases. ■ We have been trading corporate jets in the global market since 1977 and this is the worst price collapse we have ever seen. ■ Increasing rumors about heavily discounted new OEM product are negatively impacting pre-owned valuations. ■ Gulfstream products remain the strongest; Challenger 604 and Citation Excel have improved; Citation X and Hawker 400/800 are still declining. ■ Prices continue to erode. ■ Prices arc still low and buyers are looking for bargains, but them are plenty of buyers out there. USS 15 EFTA_R1_01519457 EFTA02443891 UBS Business Jet Survey 241402010 Financing ■ Liquidity has yet to fully return. The banks are hurting their asset value by failing to fund an orderly market again. ■ Dealer floor plan financiers are nearly extinct. ■ As the market works through inventory, credit will become more available. However, we may never sec rates go as low as in the past. ■ Financing is very difficult to find. ■ Banks' client selection and underwriting scrutiny have never been more stringent. ■ While lender scrutiny is relaxing and overall the financing environment appears to be opening up, availability remains depressed. We are still far from the conditions of 2006-07. ■ Still very limited lending. ■ Many banks and finance companies are more focused on reducing repo inventory than supporting buyers with competitive financing. Transactions ■ It is a kind of hit or miss world for most. If the moon, sun and stars align and you have the right buyer, seller and airplane you can make a deal. ■ Younger aircraft are selling, while older aircraft are taking forever to sell. ■ In the last 30 days we have closed four transactions to retail buyers. ■ The market has improved somewhat, but buyers are still a bit hesitant to pull the trigger. International buyers are only slightly more aggressive. ■ We have three aircraft pending sale: one Challenger 601 and two Hawker 800s. All three are for retail customers with financing secured, and all are likely to close within the next 1-3 weeks, but these are VERY cheap compared to the rest of the market and compared to book value. Outlook ■ I do not expect the market to fully recover for at least another 1-2 years. ■ We may be running into a double-dip situation, similar to 1984.85. ■ The traditional corporate flight department is awakening from its long winter nap, which should mean a much stronger 2010-1 I than 2009. ■ Until we see hiring resume, production increase, housing starts and sales on a steady incline, consumer spending increase and consumer confidence grow each month we will see more of the same in aircraft sales activity. ■ The two major hurdles are the trade gap and credit availability / rates. OBS 16 EFTA_R1_01519458 EFTA02443892 UBS Business Jet Survey 24 Mart 2010 ■ Statement of Risk The business jet market is cyclical in nature, largely driven by the general economic environment. Business jet manufacturers' earnings and cash flow arc dependent on end-user demand, availability of customer financing, program execution and inventory management. Our estimates, ratings and price targets for both General Dynamics and Textron are subject to additional risks including poor program execution and government funding related to their defense and security businesses. Additionally, Textron faces liquidity risks related to it its asset based lending businesses. ■ Analyst Certification Each research analyst primarily responsible for the content of this research report, in whole or in part, certifies that with respect to each security or issuer that the analyst covered in this report: (I) all of the views expressed accurately reflect his or her personal views about those securities or issuers; and (2) no part of his or her compensation was, is, or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by that research analyst in the research report.

(See 'UBS Investment Research: Global Equity Rating Definitions' table for details). From September 9. 2006 through August 3, 2007 the UBS ratings and their definitions were: Buy 1 = FSR is > 6% above the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Buy 2 = FSR is > 6% above the MRA. lower degree of predictability; Neutral 1 = FSR is between -6% and 6% of the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Neutral 2 = FSR is between -6% and 6% of the MRA, lower degree of predictability; Reduce 1 = FSR is > 6% below the MRA, higher degree of predictability; Reduce 2 = FSR is > 6% below the MRA, lower degree of predictability. The predictability level indicates an analyst's conviction in the FSR. A predictability level of '1' means that the analyst's estimate of FSR is in the middle of a narrower, or smaller, range of possibilities. A predictability level of '2' means that the analysts estimate of FSR is in the middle of a broader, or larger, range of possibilities. From October 13, 2003 through September 8, 2006 the percentage band criteria used in the rating system was 10%.
