This bond is one of a duly authorized issue of $650,000 library building fee bonds (hereinafter

The proceeds of the bonds, together with an appropriation of $440,000 by the General Assembly of

to be derived from such fee to the credit of a special fund designated "The Rector and Visitors

payable, and said special fund is pledged to and charged with the payment of such principal and
interest.

will be paid from any moneys available for the use of the Institution and which are not required
by law or by previous binding contract to be devoted to some other purpose.

type, in an amount not less than eighty per centum (80%) of the replacement value of the Project or
such part, less depreciation, provided, however, that such amount of insurance shall at all times
be sufficient to comply with any legal or contractual requirement which, if breached, would result

may provide for the deduction from each claim for loss or damage (except in case of a total loss)
of not more than two per centum (2%) of the total amount of insurance required by the application
of the co-insurance clause, and provided, further, that if at any time the Board shall be unable
to obtain such insurance to the extent above required, either as to amount of such insurance or

be applied to, the repair, replacement or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed property.
