Hon. Parish School Board

Parish of Lafayette

Lafayette, La 70502

            The undersigned, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., of New Orleans, Louisiana (the "Underwriter"), offers to enter into this agreement with Parish School Board of the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana (the "Issuer"), which, upon your acceptance of this offer, will be binding upon you and upon us.

            This offer is made subject to your acceptance of this agreement on or before 11:59 p.m., New Orleans Time on this date.

1.         Purchase Price.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions, and upon the basis of the findings, representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriter, all (but not less than all) of the above referenced bonds (the "Bonds") at the aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of $70,980,362.25 (which is the original aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of $65,000,000.00, plus net original issue premium of $6,402,862.25, less an underwriting discount of $422,500.00).

The Bonds maturing April 1, 2028, and thereafter, will be callable for redemption by the Issuer in full or in part at any time on or after April 1, 2027, and if less than a full maturity, then by lot within such maturity, at the principal amount thereof and accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

(b)  The Bonds are authorized under and shall be issued pursuant to R.S.47.338.86, as amended, and other constitutional and statutory authority (collectively, the "Act"), and a Bond Resolution adopted by the Issuer, on December 13, 2017 (the "Bond Resolution"). The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of (i) construction, rehabilitation or repair of public school facilities, including equipping of school facilities improved with Bond proceeds, (ii) establishing a reserve fund, if required, and (iii) paying the costs incurred in connection with the issuance thereof.                        

The Bonds are secured by an irrevocable pledge and dedication of the funds to be derived by the Issuer from the levy and collection of a special one percent (1%) sales and use tax authorized at a special election held within the corporate boundaries of the Issuer on September 18, 1965 (the "Tax"), subject only to the payment of the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collecting and administering the Tax, sufficient in amount to pay the principal of the Bonds and the interest thereon as they severally mature.

Pursuant to the Bond Resolution, the Bonds (a) shall be dated the date of delivery, (b) shall be issued as fully registered Bonds, one Bond per maturity, in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof, and (c) 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, such interest to be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2018, until paid, at the rates per annum set forth on, and shall be payable and mature in the principal amounts and on the dates set forth on, Schedule II attached hereto. The Bonds shall be as further described in the Official Statement (as defined in Section 4 hereof).

2.         Establishment of Issue Price.

(a)   The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement at the offering prices set forth in Schedule II attached hereto. The Underwriter agrees to assist the Issuer in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Issuer at Closing a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Issuer and Foley & Judell, L.L.P., as Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales prices or the initial offering prices to the public of the Bonds. 

(b)   The Issuer will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within or bifurcated portion of that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). At or promptly after the execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Issuer and Bond Counsel the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds.  If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Issuer the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public.  That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or until all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public. 

(c)   The Underwriter confirms that any selling group agreement and any retail distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the Underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter. The Issuer acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this subsection, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a retail distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the retail distribution agreement and the related pricing wires.

(2)        “underwriter” (when not referring to the Underwriter) means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public),

(3)        a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) at least 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and
