AUTHORIZATION AND ISSUANCE OF

BONDS

SECTION 2.1. Autho-rization of Bonds; Refunding of Refunded Bonds. (a) This Bond Ordinance creates a series of Bonds of the Issuer to be designated “General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2016, of St. John the Baptist Parish, State of Louisiana” and provides for the full and final payment of the principal or redemption price of and interest on all the Bonds.

(b) The Bonds issued under this Bond Ordi-nance shall be issued for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds through the escrow of a portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, together with additional moneys pro-vided by the Issuer, in Defeasance Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, in order to provide for the pay-



ment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds as they mature or upon earlier redemption as provided in Section 12.1 hereof, and paying the Costs of Issuance.

(c) Provision hav-ing been made for the orderly payment until maturity or earlier redemption of all the Refunded Bonds, in accordance with their terms, it is hereby rec-ognized and acknowl-edged that as of the date of delivery of the Bonds under this Bond Ordinance, provision will have been made for the performance of all covenants and agreements of the Is-suer incidental to the Refunded Bonds, and that accordingly, and in compliance with all that is herein provided, the Issuer is expected to have no future obliga-tion with reference to the aforesaid Refunded Bonds, except to as-sure that the Refunded Bonds are paid from the Defeasance Obligations and funds so escrowed in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The Escrow Agreement is hereby approved by the Is-suer 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 C here-of, with such changes, additions, deletions or completions deemed appropriate by such signing officials, and it is expressly provided and cov-enanted that all of the provisions for the payment of the prin-cipal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds from the special trust fund created under the Es-crow Agreement shall be strictly observed and followed in all respects.

SECTION 2.2. Bond Ordinance to Consti-tute Contract. In con-sideration of the pur-

chase and acceptance of the Bonds by those who shall own the same from time to time, the provisions of this Bond Ordinance shall be a part of the contract of the Issuer with the Owners of the Bonds 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 agree-ments 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 of any and all of the Bonds, each of which Bonds, regardless of the time or times of its issue or maturity, shall be of equal rank with-out preference, priority or distinction over any other thereof except as expressly provided in this Bond Ordinance.

SECTION 2.3. Ob-ligation of Bonds. The Bonds shall con-stitute general obliga-tions of the Issuer, and the full faith and credit of the Issuer is hereby pledged for their payment and for the payment of all the interest thereon. The Issuer is bound under the terms and provisions of law and this Bond Ordinance to impose and collect annually, in excess of all other taxes, a tax on all the property subject to taxation within the territorial limits of the Issuer, sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds falling due each year, said tax to be levied and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time as other taxes are levied and collected within the territorial limits of the Issuer. All ad valorem taxes levied by the Issuer in each year for the payment of the Bonds shall, upon their receipt, be trans-ferred to the Governing Authority, which shall have responsibility for the deposit of such receipts and for the in-vestment and reinvest-

ment of such receipts and the servicing of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.4. Authori-zation and Designation. Pursuant to the provi-sions of the Act, there is hereby authorized the issuance of Twenty Million Three Hundred Ninety Thousand Dol-lars ($20,390,000) princi-pal amount of Bonds of the Issuer to be desig-nated “General Obliga-tion Refunding Bonds, Series 2016, of St. John the Baptist Parish, State of Louisiana,” for the purposes set forth in Section 2.1(b) above. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit D hereto, with such neces-sary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as are required or permit-ted by the Act and this Bond Ordinance.

This Governing Author-ity hereby finds and de-termines that upon the issuance of the Bonds, the total outstanding amount of general obli-gation bonds of the Is-suer issued and deemed to be outstanding will not exceed the Issuer’s general obligation bond limit.

SECTION 2.5. De-nominations, Dates, Maturities and Interest. The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds in the minimum denomina-tions of $100,000 and $1,000 increments thereof within a single maturity, shall be dated the date of delivery and shall be numbered from R-1 upward. The unpaid principal of the Bonds shall bear interest from the date thereof or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semi-annually on each Interest Pay-ment Date, commenc-ing September 1, 2016, at the following rates of interest and shall ma-ture serially on March 1 of each year as follows:

The principal of the Bonds shall be payable by check of the Issuer upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds at the principal office of the Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds is payable by check mailed on or before the Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agent to the Owner (deter-mined as of the close of business on the Record Date) at the address of such Owner as it appears on the registra-tion books of the Pay-ing Agent maintained for such purpose.

Except as otherwise provided in this Sec-tion, the 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, provid-ed, however, that if and to the extent that the Is-suer shall default in the payment of the interest on the Bonds due on any Interest Payment Date, then the 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 reg-istered 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 notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any regis-tration of transfer or

exchange thereof sub-sequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is express-ly provided that the Bonds shall be issued for convenience in the form of a single, fully registered bond in the entire principal amount of the issuance, matur-ing in installments as shown above.

ARTICLE IIIGENERAL TERMS

AND PROVISIONS OF THE BONDS

SECTION 3.1. Ex-change 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

Ordinance to be kept by the Paying Agent at its principal office, and the Paying Agent is hereby constituted and ap-pointed the registrar for the Bonds. At reason-able times and under reasonable regulations established by the Pay-ing Agent said list may be inspected and copied by the Issuer or by the Owners (or a designated representative thereof) of 15% of the outstand-ing principal amount of the Bonds.

All Bonds presented for registration of transfer or exchange shall be ac-companied by a written instrument or instru-ments of transfer in form and with a guar-anty of signature sat-isfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Owner or his at-torney duly authorized in writing.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Pay-ing Agent shall register and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees one or more new fully registered Bonds of authorized de-nomination of the same maturity and interest rate, and like aggregate principal amount. At the option of an Owner, Bonds may be ex-changed for other Bonds of authorized denomi-nations of the same maturity and interest rate, and like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal office of the Paying Agent. Whenev-er any Bonds are so sur-rendered for exchange, the Paying Agent shall register and deliver in exchange therefor the Bond or Bonds which the Owner making the exchange shall be en-titled to receive.

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 govern-mental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

The Issuer and the Paying Agent shall not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Bond during a period begin-ning at the opening of business on a Record Date and ending at the close of business on the Interest Payment Date.

All Bonds delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be valid ob-ligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Bond Ordinance as the Bonds surrendered.

Prior to due present-ment 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 per-son 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.

SECTION 3.2. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be improp-erly canceled, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer may in its discretion adopt an Or-dinance and thereby au-thorize the issuance and delivery of a new Bond in exchange for and substitution for such mutilated or improperly canceled Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the Owner (i) furnishing the Issuer and the Pay-ing Agent proof of his ownership thereof and proof of such mutila-tion, improper cancella-tion, destruction, theft or loss satisfactory to the Issuer and the Pay-ing Agent, (ii) giving to the Issuer and the Paying Agent an in-demnity bond in favor of the Issuer and the Paying Agent in such amount as the Issuer may require, (iii) com-plying 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 sur-render 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 de-stroyed 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, canceled 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, how-ever, that in the event the officers who execut-ed 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 here-under, the obligations of the Issuer upon the duplicate Bonds being identical to its obliga-tions upon the original Bonds and the rights of the Owner of the du-plicate Bonds being the same as those conferred by the original Bonds.

SECTION 3.3. Prepa-ration of Definitive

Bonds, Temporary Bonds. Until the defini-tive Bonds are prepared, the Issuer may execute, in the same manner as is provided in Section 3.5, and deliver, in lieu of definitive Bonds, but subject to the same pro-visions, limitations and conditions as the defini-tive Bonds except as to the denominations, one or more temporary type-written Bonds substan-tially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such tempo-rary Bond or Bonds are issued, in authorized denominations, and with such omissions, in-sertions and variations as may be appropriate to temporary Bonds.

SECTION 3.4. Can-cellation of Bonds. All Bonds paid either at or before maturity, together with all Bonds purchased by the Is-suer, shall thereupon be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall thereupon promptly furnish to the Issuer an appropriate certificate of cancellation.

SECTION 3.5. Execu-tion. The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signatures of the Executive Offi-cers 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 of-ficers 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 neverthe-less, 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 respec-tive 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 per-sons who shall have been such officer at any time on or after the date of such Bond, notwith-standing that at the date of such Bond such per-son 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 3.6. Reg-istration by Paying Agent. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or en-titled to any security or benefit under this Bond Ordinance unless and until a certificate of reg-istration on such Bond substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Paying Agent by a duly authorized signa-tory, and such executed certificate of the Paying Agent upon any such Bond shall be conclu-sive evidence that such Bond has been executed, registered and delivered under this Bond Ordi-nance.

(b) All moneys depos-ited with the regularly designated fiscal agent bank or banks of the Issuer or the Paying Agent under the terms of this Bond Ordinance shall constitute sacred funds for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, and shall be secured by said fiducia-ries at all times to the full extent thereof in the manner required by law for the securing of deposits of public funds.

(c) All or any part of the moneys in the Sinking Fund shall, at the written request of the Issuer, be invested in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Louisi-ana, in which event all income derived from such investments shall be added only to the Sinking Fund.

Proof of the execution of any such instrument, or of an instrument appointing any such attorney, or the ownership by any person of the Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of the Bond Ordinance (except as otherwise therein expressly provided) if made in the following manner, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Paying Agent, which may nevertheless in its dis-cretion require further or other proof in cases where it deems the same desirable: (1) the fact and date of the execu-tion by any Owner or his attorney-in-fact of such instrument may be proved by the certificate, which need not be acknowledged or verified, of an officer of a bank or trust com-pany or of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds, that the person signing such request or other instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such ex-ecution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or associa-tion or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association or partner-ship, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority; (2) the owner-ship of Bonds and the amount, numbers and other identification, and date of owning the same shall be proved by the registration books of the Paying Agent. (b) Any request or con-sent by the Owner of any Bond shall bind all future Owners of such Bond in respect of any-thing done or suffered to be done by the Issuer or the Paying Agent in accordance therewith. SECTION 13.4.

Moneys Held for Particular Bonds. The amounts held by the Paying Agent for the payment due on any date with respect to particular Bonds shall, on and after such date and pending such pay-ment, be set aside on its books and held in trust by it, without liabil-ity for interest, for the Owners of the Bonds entitled thereto. SECTION 13.5. Par-ties Interested Here-in. Nothing in the Bond Ordinance expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person or entity, other than the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent and the Owners of the Bonds any right, remedy or claim under or by rea-son of the Bond Ordi-nance or any covenant, condition or stipulation thereof; and all the covenants, stipulations, promises and agree-ments in the Bond Ordi-nance contained by and on behalf of the Issuer shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Issuer, the Pay-ing Agent, the Escrow Agent and the Owners of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds.

Whenever in this Bond Ordinance the Issuer is named or referred to, it shall be deemed to in-clude its successors and assigns and all the cov-enants and agreements in this Bond Ordinance contained by or on be-half of the Issuer shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 13.8. Subrogation. In the event the Bonds herein authorized to be issued, or any of them, should ever be held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Owner or Owners thereof shall be subrogated to all the rights and remedies against the Issuer had and possessed by the Owner or Owners of the Refunded Bonds. SECTION 13.9. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of the Bond Ordinance or of the Bonds issued hereun-der shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provi-sion of the Bond Ordi-nance or of the Bonds, but the Bond Ordinance and the Bonds shall be construed and enforced

as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any consti-tutional or statutory provision enacted after the date of the Bond Ordinance which vali-dates or makes legal any provision of the Bond Ordinance or the Bonds which would not otherwise be valid or legal shall be deemed to apply to the Bond Ordinance and to the Bonds. SECTION 13.10. Recital of Regularity. This Governing Author-ity having investigated the regularity of the proceedings had in con-nection with the Bonds herein authorized and having determined the same to be regular, the Bonds shall contain the following recital, to-wit: “It is certified that this Bond is authorized by and is issued in confor-mity with the require-ments of the Constitu-tion and statutes of this State.” SECTION 13.11. Pub-lication. A copy of this Bond Ordinance shall be published immedi-ately after its adoption in one (1) issue of the official journal of the Issuer. SECTION 13.12. Exe-cution of Documents.

Title 49, as may be amended from time to time. Testimony of any person shall be taken under oath and shall be recorded.

(4) Suspension. The hearing officer, for good cause, may suspend all or a portion of his final order and may make any suspen-sion contingent on the fulfillment of some reasonable condition. (f) Except as may otherwise be appli-cable, any criminal sanctions or other en-forcement actions that may be brought, such as injunctive relief, are not affected by these provisions.Sec. 2.5 - 21. - Non-exclusivity of proce-dures. (a) The proce-dures and remedies established by this sub-chapter shall not be deemed exclusive and may be employed in the civil enforce-ment of an ordinance before, during or after the employment of any other civil enforcement mechanism provided by law, or before, during or after the commence-ment or conclusion of enforcement action in a civil or criminal court, unless the civil courts have definitely exonerated the alleged violator of the violation charged.Sec. 2.5 - 22. - Liens.
