- (E) The action of the Vice President for Business and Finance and other officers of the University in undertaking preliminary discussions with the Treasury Board and third parties interested in the financing contemplated hereby is in all respects ratified and approved.
- Section 7. The Board covenants that so long as the Student Housing Bonds are outstanding, the University will pay to the Treasurer of Virginia not less than 30 days before each interest or principal and interest payment date, the amount certified by the Treasurer of Virginia to be due and payable on such date as principal and interest thereon.
- Section 8. The Board covenants that the University
will pay from time to time its proportionate share of
all expenses incurred in connection with the sale and issuance of the 1984 Series B Bonds and any other series of bonds which includes the Student Housing Bonds, as well as all expenses thereafter incurred in connection with the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and fees on the 1984 Series B Bonds and any other series of which the Student Housing Bonds are a part, all as certified by the Treasurer of Virginia to the University.2571
- Section 9. Obligations which include a principal
amount not to exceed $11,500,000 may be issued to finance
the Student Housing for 650 Project by public or private
sale pursuant to Section 9(d) of Article X of the Constitution
of Virginia or Chapter 3, Title 23 of the Code of
Virginia of 1950, as amended, in lieu of issuing the Student
Housing Bonds. In that event, all provisions hereof applicable
to the Student Housing Bonds and related agreements
shall be equally applicable to that portion of such other
obligations issued to finance the Student Housing for 650
Project as if such obligations were substituted for the
term "Student Housing Bonds" herein, except that if the documents
pursuant to which outstanding obligations have been
issued to provide funds for the University's state owned
housing prohibit the issuance of other obligations as contemplated
by this Section on a parity with such outstanding
obligations, the obligations issued as contemplated by this
Section shall be junior to such outstanding obligations.
Such obligations may be issued as contemplated by this Section if the Vice President for Business and Finance, with the approval of the Treasury Board, determines that it is impractical to issue the Student Housing Bonds through private sale and that issuance of obligations as contemplated in this Section, rather than the Student Housing Bonds through public sale, will result in interest cost savings or will otherwise be beneficial to the University.2572
