to the true intent and meaning thereof. The principal and interest are payable solely from
the revenues derived from the ownership or operation of the Project, which revenues are hereby
pledged to the payment thereof in the manner and to the extent hereinabove particularly specified,
and nothing in the bonds or in this resolution shall be deemed to constitute the bonds a debt of
the State of Virginia or a pledge of the faith and credit of the State, nor shall the bonds ever
be or become a charge against the State of Virginia.
Section 602. The Board covenants that it will establish and enforce reasonable rules and
regulations governing the use of the Project and the operation thereof, that all compensation,
salaries, fees and wages paid by it in connection with the maintenance, repair and operation of
the Project will be reasonable, that it will maintain and operate the Project in an efficient and
economical manner, that, from the revenues of the Project, it will at all times maintain the same

Act, and that it will comply with all valid acts, rules, regulations, orders, and directions of any
legislative, executive, administrative, or judicial body applicable to the Project.

provision to satisfy and discharge, within sixty (60) days after the same shall accrue, all lawful
claims and demands for labor, material, supplies, or other objects which, if unpaid, might by law
become a lien upon the Project or any part thereof or the revenues therefrom, provided, however,

make provision for, any such lien or charge so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in
good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings.

construed to prevent the Board from paying all or any part of the Current Expenses from any funds
available to the Board for such purpose, or from depositing any funds available to the Board for
such purpose in the Sinking Fund for the payment of the interest on or the principal of the bonds
issued under the provisions of this resolution.
Section 605. The Board covenants that from and after the time when the contractors or any of
them engaged in constructing the Project or any part thereof shall cease to be responsible, pursuant

with such exceptions as are ordinarily required by insurers of structures of facilities of similar
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 as to
the risks covered thereby or the deductible provision thereof, it will not constitute an event of
default under the provisions of this resolution if the Board shall carry such insurance to the
extent reasonably obtainable.

applied to, the repair, replacement or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed property. If such
proceeds are more than sufficient for such purpose, the balance remaining shall be deposited to the
credit of the Sinking Fund. If such proceeds, with other available funds, shall be insufficient for
such purpose, such proceeds shall be deposited to the credit of the Sinking Fund or shall be used
to purchase bonds, as the Board by resolution may determine.

State Treasurer and shall be mailed by the Bursar to all bondholders who shall have filed their
names and addresses with the Bursar for such purpose. Each such report shall set forth in respect
of the preceding fiscal year an income and expense account for the Project, the percentage of use
of the Project, the details of all bonds paid, the amount on deposit at the end of such fiscal year
to the credit of each Fund created under the provisions of this resolution and the details of any

respect to each policy the name of the insurer, the amount, number and expiration date, and the

Project or any part thereof and will not create or permit to be created any charge or lien on the

Institution of any furniture, fixtures, apparatus, tools, instruments, or other movable property
acquired for or in connection with the Project or any materials used in connection therewith, if
