  • WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors, in order to help assure the availability of funds sufficient to complete the Project and to enhance the marketing of the Series C Bonds at reasonable interest rates, has determined that it is in the best interests of the University, its Medical School, and the University of Virginia Hospitals to pledge that portion of the University's current "quasiendowment" dedicated to Hospital and Medical School purposes (the "Pledged Endowment") for such purpose and to the extent hereinafter described; now, therefore,
  • BE IT RESOLVED by the Executive Committee of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia:
  • Section 1. It is in the best interests of the University, its Medical School, and the University of Virginia Hospitals to pledge the Pledged Endowment as provided herein.
  • Section 2. If at any time prior to completion of the Project the amount on deposit to the credit of the Construction Fund (as defined in the Master Resolution adopted by the Executive Committee on November 30, 1984), is not adequate to pay costs of the Project then due and the University has not theretofore provided the full amount of its scheduled equity contribution, the University will expend the income and, if necessary, the principal of the Pledged Endowment to remedy any shortfall in such scheduled equity contribution.
  • Such obligation shall terminate upon the earlier of completion of the Project or the full funding of the University's scheduled equity contribution.
  • Section 3. The University covenants that it will not reduce voluntarily the value of the Pledged Endowment to less than $20,000,000 prior to the termination date; provided, however, that the University shall not be obligated to remedy any reduction below $20,000,000 resulting from a decline in the market value of investments.
  • Section 4. When the amount of the University's scheduled but unpaid equity contribution is reduced to $20,000,000, the pledge of the Pledged Endowment shall thereafter be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by each equity contribution thereafter deposited to the Construction Fund.
  • Section 5. The pledge of Pledged Endowment shall not in any way secure the payment of principal of or interest on the Series C Bonds, and, prior to completion of the Project, the University may use the income earned on the Pledged Endowment not then needed to fund the equity contribution and any principal amount of the Pledged Endowment in excess of $20,000,000 for any purpose of the University.
  • Section 6. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.
