Ordinance, the Supplemental Resolution, the Lease, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment, the
Funds Assignment, and the Bond Purchase Agreement executed and delivered in connection
with the Bonds for a description of the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and
extent of the security, default provisions, the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer and the
Purchaser and the terms upon which the Bonds are issued.
Registration of this Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person
or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Registrar, but only in
the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in the
Ordinance and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon such transfer a new Bond or
Bonds, of authorized denomination or denominations, for the like principal amount, will be
issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.
This Bond, under the provisions of the Act, is and has all the qualities and
incidents of a negotiable instrument under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
West Virginia, but may only be transferred by transfer of registration hereof with the Registrar.
This Bond and the interest thereon is a special and limited obligation of the Issuer
and is payable solely out of the Lease Rentals or revenues pledged to the payment thereof as set
forth in the Lease and the Ordinance, and neither the Issuer nor the City shall be obligated to pay
the Bonds or the interest thereon, except from such sources. This Bond and any other
obligations, agreements, covenants or representations contained in the Ordinance, the Lease, the
Deed of Trust, the Assignment and the Funds Assignment shall never constitute an indebtedness
of the Issuer, the City, the County of Monongalia or the State of West Virginia within the
meaning of any constitutional provision or statutory limitation and shall never constitute or give
rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer, the City, the County of Monongalia or the State of
West Virginia. Neither shall this Bond nor the interest payable hereon be a charge against or
pledge of the property, faith and credit or taxing power, if any, of the Issuer, the City, the County
of Monongalia or the State of West Virginia. The holder of this Bond shall have no right to have
taxes levied by the legislature of the State of West Virginia or the taxing authority, if any, of the
Issuer, the City or the County of Monongalia for the payment of the principal of or interest on
Page 12 of 26
this Bond. The lease rentals payable by the City to the Issuer pursuant to the Lease are subject to
annual appropriation by the City.
Holders of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the
Ordinance, the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds Assignment, the Deed of Trust, the Bond
Purchase Agreement or to institute an action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any
action with respect to any default, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding
with respect thereto, except as provided in the Ordinance, the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds
Assignment, the Deed of Trust, and the Bond Purchase Agreement. In certain events, on the
conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Ordinance, the principal of all of the
Bonds issued under the Ordinance and then outstanding may become or may be declared due and
payable before the stated maturity thereof, together with interest accrued thereon. Modifications
or alterations of the Lease, the Ordinance, the Assignment, the Funds Assignment, the Deed of
Trust or any supplements thereto, or waivers thereunder, may be made only to the extent and in
the circumstances permitted thereunder.
The Bonds, together with interest thereon, are, under the Act, exempt from
taxation by the State of West Virginia, except inheritance, estate and transfer taxes.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED AND DECLARED that all acts,
conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed, precedent to and in connection
with the issuance of this Bond, have existed, have happened and have been performed in due
time, form and manner as required by law. The issuance of this Bond and the issue of which it is
a part, together with all other obligations of said Issuer, does not exceed or violate any limit
prescribed by the Constitution or statutes of the State of West Virginia.
This Bond shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the
certificate of registration and authentication hereon shall have been manually signed by the
Registrar. This Bond may be transferred only upon the surrender hereof at the office of the
Registrar and otherwise as provided by the Ordinance.
All provisions of the Ordinance, the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds
Assignment, the Deed of Trust, the Bond Purchase Agreement and the statutes under which this
Bond is issued shall be deemed a part of the contract evidenced by this Bond to the same extent
as if written fully herein.

other cost or charge in connection therewith, shall be a charge against or pledge of the property,
faith, credit or taxing powers, if any, of the State of West Virginia, the County of Monongalia,
the Issuer or the City, nor shall the same ever constitute an indebtedness of the State of
West Virginia, the County of Monongalia, the Issuer or the City within the meaning of any
constitutional provision or statutory limitation or constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of
the State of West Virginia, the Issuer, the County of Monongalia or the City. No recourse shall
be had for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2022 A Bonds against any
official or member of the Issuer. The holders of the Series 2022 A Bonds shall have no right to
have taxes levied by the legislature of the State of West Virginia or the taxing authority, if any,

The Issuer hereby pledges the Lease Rentals and all revenues derived from the

the extent provided in this Ordinance, but nothing in the Series 2022 A Bonds or in this
Ordinance, the Lease or the Assignment, the Funds Assignment, the Deed of Trust or otherwise

conditions and agreements on the part of the Issuer contained in the Series
2022 A Bonds, in the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds Assignment, the

provided the Issuer and the City with written notice of such failure and the
Issuer or the City, as applicable, shall have failed to remedy such failure
within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice (provided that such
period shall be extended beyond thirty (30) days if the failure is not
capable of being remedied within such period and the Issuer or the City, as
applicable, is proceeding in good faith with all reasonable dispatch to
remedy the same) or violation of or failure to observe any provision of any
pertinent law.

such case, the Bondholders may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by an appropriate
action in any court of competent jurisdiction, either for the specific performance (to the extent
available) of any covenant or agreement, or execution of any power, or for the enforcement of
any proper legal or equitable remedy as shall be deemed most effectual to protect and enforce
such rights, and, to the fullest extent applicable, shall have all rights, remedies and powers of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of West Virginia, as the same may now be in
effect or hereafter amended.

right and remedy provided in the Act and provided in the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds

C. INFORMATION RETURN. The Issuer will timely file all statements,
documents and returns necessary to assure the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the
Series 2022 A Bonds for federal income tax purposes, including without limitation, the
information return required under Section 149(e) of the Code.
D. FEDERAL GUARANTEE PROHIBITION. The Issuer shall not take any
action or permit or suffer any action to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause the
Series 2022 A Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.
E. FURTHER ACTIONS. The Issuer will take all actions that may be
required of it so that the interest on the Series 2022 A Bonds will be and remain excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes and will not take any actions or fail to take any
actions the result of which would adversely affect such exclusion.
Section 23. The firm of Steptoe & Johnson PLLC, Bridgeport, West Virginia,
is hereby designated as bond counsel and special project counsel to the Issuer in connection with

make such additions, deletions or modifications as may be necessary to assure compliance with
Section 148(f) of the Code relating to the required rebate of excess investment earnings to the
United States or otherwise as may be necessary to assure the exemption from federal income
taxation of interest on the Series 2022 A Bonds.
Section 25. If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise
be paid, to the Bondholders, the principal of and interest due or to become due thereon, at the

shall be considered to have been paid in full pursuant hereto, and the liens, security interests and
pledges hereby granted shall be deemed to be and shall be canceled and discharged; and all
covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to the Bondholders shall thereupon
cease, terminate and become void, except as may otherwise be necessary to assure the exclusion
of interest on the Series 2022 A Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Section 26. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions
hereof should be held contrary to any express provision of law or contrary to the policy of
express law, although not expressly prohibited, or against public policy, or shall for any reason
whatsoever be held or determined invalid, then such covenants, agreements or provisions shall
be null and void and shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements or
provisions hereof, and shall in no way affect the validity of all the other provisions hereof or the
Bonds.
Section 27. The execution, delivery, acceptance and/or due performance of the
Series 2022 A Bonds, the Lease, the Assignment, the Funds Assignment, the Deed of Trust, the
Tax Certificate and the Bond Purchase Agreement are hereby in all respects approved,
authorized, ratified and confirmed, and it is hereby ordered that the Chairman, the Secretary and
