RESOLUTION
A resolution providing for the issuance and sale of Twenty Nine Million Four Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($29,490,000) of Sales Tax School Refunding Bonds, Series 2009, of the West Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana; prescribing the form, fixing the details and providing for the rights of the owners thereof; providing for the payment of such bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof to the refunding of certain bonds of said School Board; and providing for other matters in connection therewith.
WHEREAS, the West Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana (the "Issuer"), is now levying and collecting a special one percent (1%) sales and use tax (the “1% tax”) pursuant to an election held on November 15, 1997, at which election the following proposition was approved by a majority of the qualified electors voting at such election, viz:
PROPOSITION
SUMMARY: 1% SALES AND USE TAX FOR 27 YEARS FOR CONSTRUCTING, ACQUIRING, IMPROVING, EQUIPPING, FURNISHING, MAINTAINING AND/OR OPERATING SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL RELATED FACILITIES IN THE DISTRICT, WITH THE PROCEEDS OF THE TAX BEING SUBJECT TO FUNDING INTO BONDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Shall the West Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana (the “District”), under the provisions of Article VI, Section 29 of the Constitution of the State of Louisiana of 1974, and other constitutional and statutory authority, be authorized to levy and collect a tax of one per cent (1%) (the "Tax") upon the sale at retail, the use, the lease or rental, the consumption, and the storage for use or consumption, of tangible personal property and on sales of services in the District, all as defined in La. R.S. 47:301 through 47:317, for
a period of twenty-seven (27) years from the date of the first levy of the Tax, with the proceeds of the Tax (after paying the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collecting and administering the Tax), to be dedicated and used for the purpose of constructing, acquiring, improving, equipping, furnishing, maintaining and/or operating schools and school related facilities in the District, and shall the District be further authorized to fund the proceeds of said tax into bonds to be issued for the purpose of constructing, acquiring, improving, equipping and/or furnishing schools and school related facilities in the District, including, to the extent feasible, those school projects recommended by the West Ouachita Citizens Task Force and approved by the School Board on August 5, 1997, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the laws of Louisiana, including particularly Sub-Part F, Part III, Chapter 4, Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950?
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority of the aforesaid election, the Issuer adopted an ordinance on November 18, 1997 (the "Tax Ordinance"), providing for the levy and collection of the aforesaid 1% tax; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Ordinance, the net avails or proceeds of the aforesaid 1% tax (after the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of the collection and administration thereof have been paid therefrom) shall be available for appropriation and expenditure by the Issuer for the purposes designated in the proposition authorizing the levy of the aforesaid 1% tax, which includes the payment of bonds authorized to be issued in accordance with Louisiana law; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore issued bonds which are currently outstanding and payable from a pledge and dedication of the Tax, consisting of (i) $18,565,000 of Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 1998, maturing serially on September 1 of the years 2009 to 2023, inclusive (the "1998 Bonds") and (ii) $14,840,000 of Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 1999, maturing serially on September 1 of the years 2009 to 2023, inclusive (the “1999 Bonds”); and

WHEREAS, the Parish School Board of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana (the “Parish School Board”), acting as the governing authority of the Issuer, did on February 5, 2008 authorize the issuance of the hereinafter defined Bonds and the sale thereof to the Underwriters, at such time as the sale of the Bonds produces net present value savings (after payment of all costs) to taxpayers at least equal to the Louisiana State Bond Commission’s guidelines for minimum savings from refundings; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said authorization on February 5, 2008, the Bonds have been sold to the Underwriters with the required present value savings, and the Superintendent has duly executed the Bond Purchase Agreement with the Underwriter; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 14-A of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, and other constitutional and statutory authority, it is now the desire of the Issuer to adopt this Bond Resolution in order to provide for the issuance of Twenty Nine Million Four Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($29,490,000) principal amount of its Sales Tax School Refunding Bonds, Series 2009 (the "Bonds"), for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds and paying the costs of issuance of the Bonds, to fix the details of the Bonds and to sell the Bonds to the Underwriters thereof; and
WHEREAS, other than the Bonds herein authorized, the Issuer has no outstanding bonds or other obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien on the aforesaid 1% tax herein pledged, except the outstanding (i) unrefunded Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 1998, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2011, inclusive (ii) unrefunded Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 1999, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2011, inclusive (iii) Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 2000, maturing September 1, 2009 and September 1, 2010 (iv) Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 2001, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2024, inclusive, (v) Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 2002, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2024, inclusive (vi) Sales Tax School Refunding Bonds, Series 2006, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2024, inclusive (vii) Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 2007, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2024, inclusive and (viii) Sales Tax School Bonds, Series 2008, maturing September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2024, inclusive (collectively, the “Outstanding Parity Bonds”); and
WHEREAS, under the terms and conditions of the resolutions adopted by the Issuer on September 24, 1998, April 20, 1999, September 27, 2000, March 20, 2001, March 12, 2002, February 21, 2006, September 11, 2007 and August 26, 2008, authorizing the issuance of the Outstanding Parity Bonds (collectively, the “Outstanding Parity Bond Resolution”), the Issuer has authority to issue additional bonds on a complete parity with the Outstanding Parity Bonds under the terms and conditions provided therein; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer has determined that all the terms and conditions specified in the Outstanding Parity Bond Resolution have been or will be complied with prior to the delivery of the Bonds, and it is the express desire and intention of the Issuer that the Bonds be issued on a complete parity with the Outstanding Parity Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the maturities of the hereinafter described Bonds have been arranged so that the total amount of principal and interest falling due in any year on the Bonds will never exceed 75% of the aforesaid 1% tax estimated to be received by the Issuer in the year in which the Bonds are to be issued (which is hereby estimated to be at least $9,600,000); and
WHEREAS, it is further necessary to provide for the application of a portion of the proceeds of the Bonds to the refunding of the Refunded Bonds and to provide for other matters in connection with the payment or redemption of the Refunded Bonds; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, it is necessary that provision be made for the payment of the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, of the Refunded Bonds described in Exhibit A hereto, and to provide for the call for redemption of the Refunded Bonds, pursuant to Notices of Defeasance and Call for Redemption; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary that this School Board prescribe the form and content of a Defeasance and Escrow Deposit Agreement providing for the payment of the principal, premium and interest of the Refunded Bonds and authorize the execution thereof as hereinafter provided; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to fix the details of the Bonds and the terms of the sale of the Bonds;

(d) The Escrow Agreement is hereby approved by the Issuer, and the Executive Officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Issuer substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereof, with such changes, additions, deletions or completions deemed appropriate by such Executive Officers and it is expressly provided and covenanted that all of the provisions for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds from the special trust fund created under the Escrow Agreement shall be strictly observed and followed in all respects.
SECTION 2.2. Bond Resolution to Constitute Contract. In consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Bonds by those who shall own the same from time to time, the provisions of this Bond Resolution shall be a part of the contract of the Issuer with the Owners and shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the Issuer and the Owners from time to time of the Bonds.
The provisions, covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the Owners, each of which Bonds, regardless of the time or times of its issue or maturity, shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction over any other thereof except as expressly provided in this Bond Resolution.
SECTION 2.3. Obligation of Bonds. The Bonds shall be secured by and payable, equally with the Outstanding Parity Bonds, in principal, premium, if any, and interest solely from an irrevocable pledge and dedication of the Revenues of the Tax. The Revenues of the Tax are hereby irrevocably and irrepealably pledged and dedicated in an amount sufficient for the payment of the Bonds in principal, premium, if any, and interest as they shall respectively become due and payable, and for the other purposes hereinafter set forth in this Bond Resolution. All of the Revenues of the Tax shall be set aside in a separate fund, as hereinafter provided, and shall be and remain pledged for the security and payment of the Bonds and any Additional Parity Bonds in principal, premium, if any, and interest and for all other payments provided for in this Bond Resolution until such bonds shall have been fully paid and discharged.
SECTION 2.4. Authorization and Designation. Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, there is hereby authorized the issuance of Twenty Nine Million Four Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($29,490,000) principal amount of Bonds of the Issuer to be designated "Sales Tax School Refunding Bonds, Series 2009, of the West Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana," for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds and paying the Costs of Issuance. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto, with such necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as are required or permitted by the Act and this Bond Resolution.
SECTION 2.5. Book Entry Registration of Bonds. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), as registered owner of the Bonds, and held in the custody of DTC. The Secretary of the Governing Authority or any other officer of the Issuer is authorized to execute and deliver a Letter of Representation to DTC on behalf of the Issuer with respect to the issuance of the Bonds in "book-entry only" format. The Paying Agent is hereby directed to execute said Letter of Representation. The terms and provisions of said Letter of Representation shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Bond Resolution and said Letter of Representation. Initially, a single certificate will be issued and delivered to DTC for each maturity of the Bonds. The Beneficial Owners will not receive physical delivery of Bond certificates except as provided herein. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive a written confirmation of their purchase providing details of each Bond acquired. For so long as DTC shall continue to serve as securities depository for the Bonds as provided herein, all transfers of beneficial ownership interest will be made by book-entry only, and no investor or other party purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring beneficial ownership of Bonds is to receive, hold or deliver any Bond certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, while the Bonds are issued in book-entryonly form, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds may be payable by the Paying Agent by wire transfer to DTC in accordance with the Letter of Representation.
For every transfer and exchange of the Bonds, the Beneficial Owner may be charged a sum sufficient to cover such Beneficial Owner's allocable share of any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Bond certificates are required to be delivered to and registered in the name of the Beneficial Owner under the following circumstances:
(a) DTC determines to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Bonds. Such a determination may be made at any time by giving 30 days' notice to the Issuer and the Paying Agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law; or
b) The Issuer determines that continuation of the system of book-entry transfer through DTC (or a successor securities depository) is not in the best interests of the Issuer and/or the Beneficial Owners.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent will recognize DTC or its nominee as the Bondholder for all purposes, including notices and voting.
Neither the Issuer or the Paying Agent are responsible for the performance by DTC of any of its obligations, including, without limitation, the payment of moneys received by DTC, the forwarding of notices received by DTC or the giving of any consent or proxy in lieu of consent.
Whenever during the term of the Bonds the beneficial ownership thereof is determined by a book entry at DTC, the requirements of this Bond Resolution of holding, delivering or transferring the Bonds shall be deemed modified to require the appropriate person to meet the requirements of DTC as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. If at any time DTC ceases to hold the Bonds, all references herein to DTC shall be of no further force or effect.
SECTION 2.6. Denominations, Dates, Maturities and Interest. The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds without coupons in the denominations of $5,000 principal amount or any integral multiple thereof within a single maturity, and shall be numbered R-1 upwards. The Bonds shall be dated the date of delivery thereof, shall mature on September 1 in the years and in the principal amounts and shall bear interest, payable on the Interest Payment Dates, at the rates per annum, as follows:

2019/ 1,200,000/ 4.50
2020/ 2,640,000/ 4.00
2021/ 2,740,000/ 4.00
2022/ 2,850,000/ 4.125
2023/ 2,970,000/ 4.25
SECTION 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal and premium, if any, of the Bonds are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, upon presentation and surrender thereof. Interest on the Bonds is payable by check mailed on or before the Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agent to each Owner (determined as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date) at the address of such Owner as it appears on the registration books of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Bonds shall bear interest from date thereof or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest on any Bonds due on any Interest Payment Date, then all such Bonds shall bear interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid on the Bonds, or if no interest has been paid on the Bonds, from their dated date. The Person in whose name any Bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall in all cases be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date (unless such Bond has been called for redemption on a redemption date which is prior to such Interest Payment Date) notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any registration of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date.
ARTICLE III
GENERAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE BONDS
SECTION 3.1. Exchange of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners. The Issuer shall cause books for the registration and for the registration of transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Bond Resolution to be kept by the Paying Agent at its principal corporate trust office, and the Paying Agent is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar for the Bonds. At reasonable times and under reasonable regulations established by the Paying Agent said list may be inspected and copied by the Issuer or by the Owners (or a designated representative thereof) of 15% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Paying Agent shall register and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees one or more new fully registered Bonds of authorized denomination of the same maturity and like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Owner, Bonds may be exchanged for other Bonds of authorized denominations of the same maturity and like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent shall register and deliver in exchange therefor the Bond or Bonds which the Owner making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. All Bonds presented for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form and with a guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
All Bonds delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Bond Resolution as the Bonds surrendered. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Issuer and the Paying Agent, and any agent of the Issuer or the Paying Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Bond shall be overdue, and shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary. No service charge to the Owners shall be made by the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds. The Paying Agent may require payment by the Person requesting an exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Issuer and the Paying Agent shall not be required
(a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on the 15th calendar day of the month next preceding an Interest Payment Date or any date of selection of Bonds to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the Interest Payment Date or day on which the applicable notice of redemption is given or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part.
SECTION 3.2. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be improperly cancelled, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer may in its discretion adopt a resolution or ordinance and thereby authorize the issuance and delivery of a new Bond in exchange for and substitution for such mutilated or improperly cancelled Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the Owner (i) furnishing the Issuer and the Paying Agent proof of his ownership thereof and proof of such mutilation, improper cancellation, destruction, theft or loss satisfactory to the Issuer and the Paying Agent, (ii) giving to the Issuer and the Paying Agent an indemnity bond in favor of the Issuer and the Paying Agent in such amount as the Issuer may require, (iii) compliance with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer may prescribe and (iv) paying such expenses as the Issuer and the Paying Agent may incur.
All Bonds so surrendered shall be delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof. If any Bond shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the Issuer may pay the same, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bond be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof. Any such duplicate Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute an original, additional, contractual obligation on the part of the Issuer, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bond be at any time found by anyone. Such duplicate Bond shall be in all respects identical with those replaced except that it shall bear on its face the following additional clause: "This bond is issued to replace a lost, cancelled or destroyed bond under the authority of R.S. 39:971 through 39:974."
Such duplicate Bond may be signed by the facsimile signatures of the same officers who signed the original Bonds, provided, however, that in the event the officers who executed the original Bonds are no longer in office, then the new Bonds may be signed by the officers then in office.
Such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien and source and security for payment as provided herein with respect to all other Bonds hereunder, the obligations of the Issuer upon the duplicate Bonds being identical to its obligations upon the original Bonds and the rights of the Owner of the duplicate Bonds being the same as those conferred by the original Bonds.
SECTION 3.3. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds paid or redeemed either at or before maturity, together with all Bonds purchased by the Issuer, shall thereupon be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall thereupon promptly furnish to the Secretary of the Issuer an appropriate certificate of cancellation.
SECTION 3.4. Execution. The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signatures of the Executive Officers, and the corporate seal of the Issuer (or a facsimile thereof) shall be thereunto affixed, imprinted, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed and sealed shall have been actually
delivered, such Bonds may, nevertheless, be delivered as herein provided, and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Bonds had not ceased to hold such office. Said officers shall, by the execution of the Bonds, adopt as and for their own proper signatures their respective facsimile signatures appearing on the Bonds or any legal opinion certificate thereon, and the Issuer may adopt and use for that purpose the facsimile signature of any person or persons who shall have been such officer at any time on or after the date of such Bond, notwithstanding that at the date of such Bond such person may not have held such office or that at the time when such Bond shall be delivered such person may have ceased to hold such office.
SECTION 3.5. Registration by Paying Agent and Secretary of State. (a) No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Bond Resolution unless and until a certificate of registration on such Bond substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto shall have been duly manually executed on behalf of the Paying Agent by a duly authorized signatory, and such executed certificate of the Paying Agent upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been executed, registered and delivered under this
Bond Resolution.
(b) The Bonds shall also be registered with the Secretary of State of the State of Louisiana (which registration shall be by manual signature on the bonds issued upon original issuance of the Bonds and by facsimile signature on Bonds exchanged therefor) and shall have endorsed thereon the following:

SECTION 4.2. Issuer Obligated to Collect Tax. In compliance with the laws of Louisiana, the Issuer, by proper ordinances and/or resolutions, is obligated to cause the Tax to continue to be levied and collected until all of the Bonds have been retired as to both principal and interest, and further shall not discontinue or decrease or permit to be discontinued or decreased the Tax in anticipation
of the collection of which the Bonds have been issued, nor in any way make any change which would diminish the amount of the revenues of the Tax to be received by the Issuer until all of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been retired as to both principal and interest.
SECTION 4.3. Funds and Accounts. The Issuer by proper resolutions and/or ordinances, hereby obligates itself to continue to levy and collect the Tax for the full period of its authorization and not to discontinue or decrease or permit to be discontinued or decreased the Tax in anticipation of the collection of which the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been issued, nor in any way make any change which would diminish the amount of the Revenues of the Tax to be received by the Issuer until all of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been paid as to both principal and interest and redemption premium, if any. In order that the principal of and the interest on the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds will be paid in accordance with their terms and for the other objects and purposes hereinafter provided, the Issuer further covenants as follows: In compliance with the Tax Ordinance, all of the avails or proceeds derived from the levy and collection thereof shall continue to be deposited daily as the same may be collected in a separate and special bank account maintained with the regularly designated fiscal agent of the Issuer and designated as the "1998 Sales Tax Account" (hereinafter called the "Sales Tax Fund"). The Sales Tax Fund shall constitute a dedicated fund of the Issuer, from which appropriations and expenditures by the Issuer shall be made solely for the purposes designated in the proposition authorizing the levy of the Tax, including the payment of the Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds and any additional parity bonds.
Out of the funds on deposit in the Sales Tax Fund, the Issuer shall first pay all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collection and administration of the Tax. After payment of such costs and expenses, the remaining balance of the proceeds of the Tax shall be administered and used in the following order of priority and for the following express purposes:
(a) The maintenance of the "Sales Tax Bond Sinking Fund" (hereinafter called the “Sinking Fund”), heretofore established and held with the regularly designated fiscal agent of the Issuer, sufficient in amount to pay promptly and fully the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds and any additional parity bonds in the manner provided by the Bond Resolution, as they severally become due and payable, by transferring from the Sales Tax Fund, monthly, on or before the 20th day of each month of each year, a sum equal to the pro-rata amount of interest falling due on the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds on the next Interest Payment Date and the pro-rata amount of the principal on the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds falling due on the next principal payment date, together with such additional proportionate sum as may be required to pay said principal and interest as the same respectively become due. Said fiscal agent shall transfer or cause to be transferred from the Sinking Fund to the paying agent bank or banks for all bonds payable from the Sinking Fund, at least three (3) days in advance of the date on which payment of principal or interest falls due, funds fully sufficient to pay promptly the principal and interest so falling due on such date.
(b) The maintenance of the “Sales Tax Bond Reserve Fund” (hereinafter called the "Reserve Fund"), heretofore established and held with the regularly designated fiscal agent of the Issuer, by depositing into the Reserve Fund (on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement. The money in the Reserve Fund is to be retained solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the bonds payable from the Sinking Fund as to which there would otherwise be default (except for certain earnings which may be owed to the United States pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code).
In the event that additional parity bonds are issued hereafter in the manner provided by the Bond Resolution, there shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund, from the proceeds of such additional parity bonds and/or from the proceeds of the Sales Tax Fund, such additional amounts (as may be designated in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such additional parity bonds) as will increase the total amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund within a period not exceeding five (5) years to a sum equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement. Any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Reserve Fund Requirement shall be transferred to the Sales Tax Fund.
If at any time it shall be necessary to use moneys in the Reserve Fund for the purpose of paying principal or interest on bonds as to which there would otherwise be default, then the moneys so used shall be replaced from the revenues first thereafter received by the Sales Tax Fund not hereinabove required to pay the expenses of collecting the Tax or to pay current principal and interest requirements, it being the intention hereof that there shall as nearly as possible be at all times in the Reserve Fund the amount hereinabove specified.
All or any part of the moneys in the Sales Tax Fund, Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund shall, at the written request of the Issuer, be invested in Qualified Investments, except for (a) Bond proceeds representing accrued interest and
(b) moneys on deposit in the Reserve Fund, which shall be invested in Government Securities maturing in five (5) years or less. All income derived from such Qualified Investments shall be added to the Sales Tax Fund, and such investments shall, to the extent at any time necessary, be liquidated and the proceeds thereof applied to the purposes for which the Sales Tax Fund was created.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, income on investments in the Reserve Fund shall be added to the Sales Tax Fund only to the extent that the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Fund equals or exceeds the Reserve Fund Requirement.
All moneys remaining in the Sales Tax Fund on the 20th day of each month in excess of all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collection and administration of the Tax and after making the required payments into the Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund for the current month and for prior months during which the required payments may not have been made, shall be considered as surplus. Such surplus may be used by the Issuer for any of the purposes for which the imposition of the Tax is authorized or for the purpose of retiring Bonds in advance of their maturities, either by purchase of Bonds then outstanding at prices not greater than the redemption prices of said Bonds or by retiring such Bonds at the prices and in the manner set forth in the Bond Resolution.
SECTION 4.4. Investment of Funds. All or any part of the moneys in the Sales Tax Fund, Bond Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund shall, at the written request of the Issuer, be invested in Qualified Investments except for (a) Bond proceeds representing accrued interest and (b) moneys on deposit in the Reserve Fund, which shall be invested in Government Securities maturing in five (5) years or less. All income derived from such Qualified Investments shall be added to the Sales Tax Fund, and such investments shall, to the extent at any time necessary, be liquidated and the proceeds thereof applied to the purposes for which the Sales Tax Fund is created. Notwithstanding the foregoing, income on investments in the Reserve Fund shall be added to the Sales Tax Fund only to the extent that the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Fund equals or exceeds the Reserve Fund Requirement.
SECTION 4.5. Funds to Constitute Trust Funds. The Sales Tax Fund, the Sinking Fund, and the Reserve Fund provided for in Section 4.3 hereof shall all be and constitute trust funds for the purposes provided in this Bond Resolution, and the Owners of Bonds issued pursuant to this Bond Resolution are hereby granted a lien on all such funds until applied in the manner provided herein. The moneys in such funds shall at all times be secured to the full extent thereof by the bank or trust company holding such funds in the manner required by the laws of the State.
SECTION 4.6. Method of Valuation and Frequency of Valuation. In computing the amount in any fund provided for in Section 4.3, Qualified Investments shall be valued at the lower of the cost or the market price, exclusive of accrued interest. With respect to all funds and accounts (except the Reserve Fund), valuation shall occur annually. The Reserve Fund shall be valued semi-annually, except in the event of a withdrawal from the Reserve Fund, whereupon it shall be valued immediately after such withdrawal.
ARTICLE V
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
SECTION 5.1. Redemption of Bonds. The Bonds maturing September 1, 2020, and thereafter, shall be callable for redemption at the option of the Issuer in full or in part at any time on or after September 1, 2019, and if less than a full maturity, then by lot within such maturity, at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest to the date of redemption.
In the event a Bond to be redeemed is of a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any multiple thereof) may be redeemed. Any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent and such partial redemption shall be noted thereon or there shall be delivered to the Owner of such Bond, a Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and of any authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such Owner in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered.
SECTION 5.2. Notice to Paying Agent. In the case of any redemption of Bonds, the Issuer shall give written notice to the Paying Agent of the election so to redeem and the redemption date, and of the principal amounts and numbers of the Bonds or portions of Bonds of each maturity to be redeemed. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date.
In the event notice of redemption shall have been given as provided in Section 5.4, the Issuer shall, on or before the redemption date, deposit moneys available therefor with the Paying Agent in an amount which, in addition to other amounts, if any, available therefor held by the Paying Agent will be sufficient to redeem on the redemption date, at the redemption price thereof together with accrued interest to the redemption date, all of the Bonds to be redeemed.
SECTION 5.3. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed by Lot. In the event of redemption of less than all the outstanding bonds of like maturity, such Bonds shall be redeemed by lot or in such other manner as shall be deemed fair and equitable by the Paying Agent for random selection.
SECTION 5.4. Notice of Redemption. Notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Paying Agent by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Owner of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent. Failure to give such notice by mailing to any Owner, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of other Bonds. All notices of redemption shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) if less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the identifying number (and in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) and CUSIP number of the Bonds to be redeemed; (iv) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on each such Bond and interest thereon will cease to accrue thereon from and after said date; and (v) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner of such Bonds receives the notice. On or before any redemption date the Paying Agent shall segregate and hold in trust funds furnished by the Issuer for the payment of the Bonds or portions thereof called, together with accrued interest thereon and premium, if any, to the redemption date. Upon the giving of notice and the deposit of funds for redemption, interest on such Bonds or portions thereof thus called shall no longer accrue after the date fixed for redemption. If said moneys shall not be so available on the redemption date, such Bonds shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption. No payment shall be made by the Paying Agent upon any Bond or portion thereof called for redemption until such Bond or portion thereof shall have been delivered for payment or cancellation or the Paying Agent shall have received the items required by Section 3.2 with respect to any mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond. Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in part only, the Paying Agent shall register and deliver to the Owner thereof a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of maturity
and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.
SECTION 5.5. Payment of Redeemed Bonds.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS
SECTION 6.1. Obligation of the Issuer in Connection with the Issuance of the Bonds. As a condition of the issuance of the Bonds, the Issuer hereby binds and obligates itself to: (a) deposit irrevocably in trust with the Escrow Agent under the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, as hereinafter provided, an amount of the proceeds derived from the issuance and sale of the Bonds (exclusive of accrued interest), together with additional moneys of the Issuer, as will enable the Escrow Agent to immediately make an initial cash deposit and purchase the Defeasance Obligations described in the Escrow Agreement, which, together with the initial cash deposit deposited therein, shall mature in principal and interest in such a manner as to provide at least the required cash amount on or before each payment date for the Refunded Bonds (said amounts being necessary on each of the designated dates to pay and retire or redeem the Refunded Bonds, including premiums, if any, payable upon redemption), (b) deposit in trust with the Escrow Agent such amount of the proceeds of the Bonds as will enable the Escrow Agent to pay the Costs of Issuance and the costs properly attributable to the establishment and administration of the Escrow Fund, and (c) deposit a sufficient amount (on the date of delivery of the Bonds) to the full payment and retirement of the Issuer’s Series 1998 Refunded Bonds, which Series 1998 Refunded Bonds are hereby called for redemption of said delivery date.
SECTION 6.2. Payment of Bonds. The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid as herein provided, the principal or redemption price, if any, of every Bond and the interest thereon, at the dates and places and in the manner stated in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof.
SECTION 6.3. Tax Covenants. (a) To the extent permitted by the laws of the State, the Issuer will comply with the requirements of the Code to establish, maintain and preserve the exclusion from "gross income" of interest on the bonds under the Code. The Issuer shall not take any action or fail to take any action, nor shall it permit at any time or times any of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the Issuer to be used directly or indirectly to acquire any securities or obligations the acquisition of which would cause any Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" as defined in the Code or would result in the inclusion of the interest on any Bond in "gross income" under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) the failure to comply with the limitation on investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, (ii) the failure to pay any required rebate of arbitrage earnings to the United States of America, or (iii) the use of the proceeds of the Bonds in a manner which would cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" under the Code.
(b) The Issuer shall not permit at any time or times any proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the Issuer to be used, directly or indirectly, in a manner which would result in the exclusion of the interest on any Bond from the treatment afforded by Section 103(a) of the Code, as from time to time amended, or any successor provision thereto.
(c) The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to take any and all action and to execute and deliver any instrument, document or certificate necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section.
SECTION 6.4. Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The Secretary of the Governing Authority is hereby empowered and directed to execute an appropriate Continuing Disclosure Certificate (substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I of the official statement issued in connection with the sale and issuance of the Bonds) pursuant to S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5).
SECTION 6.5. Bonds are “Bank-Qualified". The Bonds are designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In making this designation, the Issuer finds and determines that:
(a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Code; and
(b) the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax-exempt obligations which will be issued by the Issuer and all subordinate entities in calendar year 2009 does not exceed $30,000,000.
The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to take any and all action and to execute and deliver any instrument, document or certificate necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section.
SECTION 6.6. Obligation to Collect the Tax. The Issuer does hereby obligate itself and is bound under the terms and provisions of law to levy, impose, enforce and collect the Tax and to provide for all reasonable and necessary rules, regulations, procedures and penalties in connection therewith, including the proper application of the proceeds of the Tax, until all of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been retired as to both principal and interest. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from altering, amending or repealing from time to time as may be necessary this Bond Resolution or any subsequent resolution providing with respect to the Tax, said alterations, amendments or repeals to be conditioned upon the continued preservation of
the rights of the Owners with respect to the Revenues of the Tax. The Tax Ordinance imposing the Tax and pursuant to which the Tax is being levied, collected and allocated, and the obligations to continue to levy, collect and allocate the Tax and to apply the revenues therefrom in accordance with the provisions of this Bond Resolution, shall be irrevocable for the full period of its authorization until the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been paid in full as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, and shall not be subject to amendment in any manner which would impair the rights of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds or which would in any way jeopardize the prompt payment of principal thereof and interest thereon. More specifically, neither the Legislature of Louisiana nor the Issuer may discontinue or decrease the Tax or permit to be discontinued or decreased the Tax in anticipation of the collection of which the Bonds have been issued, or in any way make any change which would diminish the amount of the Revenues of the Tax pledged to the payment of the Bonds and received by the Issuer, until all of such Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds shall have been retired as to both principal and interest.
The Owners of any of the Bonds may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceeding, enforce and compel performance of all duties required to be performed as a result of issuing the Bonds and may similarly enforce the provisions of any resolution or ordinance imposing the Tax and the Bond Resolution and proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Bonds.
SECTION 6.7. Indemnity Bonds. So long as any of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the Issuer shall require all of its officers and employees who may be in a position of authority or in possession of money derived from the collection of the Tax, to obtain or be covered by a blanket fidelity or faithful performance bond, or independent fidelity bonds written by a responsible indemnity company in amounts adequate to protect the Issuer from loss.
SECTION 6.8. Issuer to Maintain Books and Records. So long as any of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds are outstanding and unpaid in principal or interest, the Issuer shall maintain and keep proper books of records and accounts separate and apart from all other records and accounts in which shall be made full and correct entries of all transactions relating to the collection and expenditure of the Revenues of the Tax, including specifically but without limitation, all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collection. Not later than three (3) months after the close of each Fiscal Year, the Issuer shall cause an audit of such books and accounts to be made by the Legislative Auditor of the State of Louisiana (or his successor) or by a recognized independent firm of certified public accountants showing the receipts of and disbursements made for the account of the Sales Tax Fund. Such audit shall be available for inspection upon request by the Owners of any of the Bonds. The Issuer further agrees that the Paying Agent and the Owners of any of the Bonds shall have at all reasonable times the right to inspect the records, accounts and data of the Issuer relating to the Tax.

No such modification or amendment shall permit a change in the terms of redemption or maturity of the principal of any outstanding Bond or of any installment of interest thereon or a reduction in the principal amount or the redemption price thereof or in the rate of interest thereon without the consent of the Owner, or shall reduce the percentages of Bonds the consent of the Owner of which is required to effect any such modification or amendment, or change the obligation of the Issuer to levy and collect the Tax for the payment of the Bonds as provided herein, without the consent of the Owners of all of the Bonds then outstanding, or shall change or modify any of the rights or obligations of either the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent without its written assent thereto. For the purposes of this Section, Bonds shall be deemed to be affected by a modification or amendment of the Bond Resolution if the same adversely affects or diminishes the rights of the Owners of said Bonds.
ARTICLE VIII
ADDITIONAL BONDS
SECTION 8.1. Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. All of the Bonds shall enjoy
complete parity of lien on the Revenues of the Tax despite the fact that any of the Bonds may be delivered at an earlier date than any other of the Bonds. The Issuer shall issue no other bonds or obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien on the Revenues of the Tax having priority over or parity with the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds, except that bonds may hereafter be issued on a parity with the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds under the following conditions:
(a) The Bonds or any part thereof, including interest and redemption premiums thereon, may be refunded with the consent of the owners thereof (except that as to Bonds which have been properly called for redemption and provisions made for the payment thereof, such consent shall not be necessary) and the refunding bonds so issued shall enjoy complete equality of lien with the portion of the Bonds which is not refunded, if there be any, and the refunding bonds shall continue to enjoy whatever priority of lien over subsequent issues that may have been enjoyed by the Bonds refunded, provided, however, that if only a portion of Bonds outstanding is so refunded and the refunding bonds require total principal and interest payments during any Bond Year (ending September 1) in excess of the principal and interest which would have been required in such Bond Year to pay the Bonds refunded thereby, then such Bonds may not be refunded without the consent of the Owners of the unrefunded portion of the Bonds issued hereunder (provided such consent shall not be required if such refunding bonds meet the requirements set forth in clause (b) below).
(b) Additional parity bonds may also be issued, and such additional parity bonds shall be on a parity with the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds herein authorized if all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The average annual revenues derived by the Issuer from the Tax when computed for the last two (2) calendar years immediately preceding the issuance of the bonds must have been not less than 1.50 times the highest combined principal and interest requirements for any succeeding calendar year period on all Bonds and Outstanding Parity Bonds then outstanding, including any additional parity bonds theretofore issued and then outstanding, and any other bonds or other obligations whatsoever then outstanding which are payable from the Tax (but not including bonds which have been refunded or provision otherwise made for their full payment and redemption) and the additional bonds so proposed to be issued;
