OF THE
PARISH SCHOOL BOARD
OF THE
PARISH OF LAFAYETTE, STATE OF LOUISIANA
July 17, 2018
Hon. Parish School Board
Parish of Lafayette
113 Chaplin Drive
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, which acceptance shall be evidenced by your execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement on behalf of the Issuer as a duly authorized official thereof.
Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Bond Resolution (as defined below).
1) The Bonds. Upon the terms and conditions and the basis of the respective representations and covenants set forth herein, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell and deliver to the Underwriter, all (but not less than all) of the above‑captioned bonds of the Issuer (the “Bonds”). The purchase price of the Bonds is set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchase Price”). Such Purchase Price shall be paid at the Closing (hereinafter defined) in accordance with Section 7 hereof. The Bonds are to be issued by the Issuer, acting through the Parish School Board of the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana, its governing authority (the “Governing Authority”), under and pursuant to, and are to be secured, on a complete parity with the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and payable as set forth in a resolution adopted by the Governing Authority on June 13, 2018 (the “Bond Resolution”). The Bonds are issued pursuant to R.S. 47.338.86, as amended, and other constitutional and statutory authority (the “Act”). The Bonds shall mature on the dates and shall bear interest at the fixed rates, and be callable for redemption, all as described in Schedule II attached hereto. Furthermore, the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds are entitled to the benefit of a common debt service reserve fund in accordance with the terms of the Bond Resolution, which common reserve fund is being initially funded with bond proceeds.
2) Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) 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 and supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Issuer and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales prices or the initial offering prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by the Issuer under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the Issuer by the Issuer’s municipal advisor, and any notice or report to be provided to the Issuer may be provided to the Issuer’s municipal advisor.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, 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 on July 31, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriter has sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that the Underwriter’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable period intervals or otherwise upon request of the Issuer or bond counsel.
(c) 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 (the “initial offering price”) set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, except as otherwise set forth therein. Schedule II also sets forth, as of the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Issuer and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Issuer to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
(2) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Underwriter shall promptly advise the Issuer when it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public, if that occurs prior to the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date.
(d) 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, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allotted to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable period intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, 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. The Issuer further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement regarding the hold-the-offering-price rule as applicable to the Bonds.
(e) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to the Underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section:
(i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party,
(ii) “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),
(iii) their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (ii) 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 (iii) 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
(iv) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement by all parties.
3. Representative. The individual signing on behalf of the Underwriter below is duly authorized to execute this Bond Purchase Agreement on behalf of the Underwriter.
4. Preliminary Official Statement and Official Statement. The Issuer hereby ratifies and approves the lawful use of the Preliminary Official Statement, dated July 9, 2018, relating to the Bonds (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) by the Underwriter prior to the date hereof and authorizes and approves the Official Statement and other pertinent documents referred to in Section 8 hereof to be lawfully used in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds. The Issuer has previously provided the Underwriter with a copy of the Preliminary Official Statement. As of its date, the Preliminary Official Statement has been deemed final by the Issuer for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Issuer has delivered a certificate to the Underwriter, dated July 17, 2018, to evidence compliance with the Rule to the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Issuer, within seven (7) business days of the date hereof, shall deliver to the Underwriter sufficient copies of the Official Statement dated the date hereof relating to the Bonds, executed on behalf of the Issuer by the duly authorized officer(s) of the Governing Authority (the “Official Statement”), as the Underwriter may reasonably request as necessary to comply with paragraph (b)(4) of the Rule, with Rule G-32 and with all other applicable rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”).
The Issuer hereby covenants that, if during the period ending on the 25th day after the “End of the Underwriting Period” (as defined in the Rule), or such other period as may be agreed to by the Issuer and the Underwriter, any event occurs of which the Issuer has actual knowledge and which would cause the Official Statement to contain an untrue statement of material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Issuer shall notify the Underwriter in writing, and if, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, such event requires an amendment or supplement to the Official Statement, the Issuer promptly will amend or supplement, or cause to be amended or supplemented, the Official Statement in a form and in a manner approved by the Underwriter and consented to by the Issuer so that the Official Statement, under such caption, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Official Statement is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading. If such notification shall be given subsequent to the date of Closing, the Issuer also shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, such additional legal opinions, certificates, instruments and other documents as the Underwriter may reasonably deem necessary to evidence the truth and accuracy of any such supplement or amendment to the Official Statement.
5. Additional Requirements of the Issuer and Underwriter. The Underwriter agrees to promptly file a copy of the final Official Statement, including any supplements prepared by the Issuer as required herein, with the MSRB through the operation of the Electronic Municipal Market Access repository within one (1) business day after receipt from the Issuer, but by no later than the date of Closing, in such manner and accompanied by such forms as are required by the MSRB, in accordance with the applicable MSRB Rules, and shall maintain such books and records as required by MSRB Rules with respect to filing of the Official Statement. If an amended Official Statement is prepared in accordance with Section 4 during the “new issue disclosure period” (as defined in the Rule), and if required by applicable SEC or MSRB Rule, the Underwriter also shall make the required filings of the amended Official Statement.
The Issuer covenants and agrees to enter into a Continuing Disclosure Certificate to be dated the date of Closing (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") constituting an undertaking (an "Undertaking") to provide ongoing disclosure about the Issuer for the benefit of Bondholders as required by the Rule, in the form as set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement, with such changes as may be agreed to by the Underwriter.
The Issuer hereby further covenants and agrees to enter into the Tax Compliance Certificate in the form required by Bond Counsel (the “Tax Certificate”) on the date of the Closing.
6. Representations of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby represents to the Underwriter as follows:
a. The Issuer has duly authorized, or prior to the delivery of the Bonds the Issuer will duly authorize, all necessary action to be taken by it for (i) the sale of the Bonds upon the terms set forth herein and in the Official Statement; (ii) the approval and signing of the Official Statement by a duly authorized officer of the Issuer; and (iii) the execution, delivery and receipt of this Bond Purchase Agreement and any and all such other agreements and documents as may be required to be executed, delivered and received by the Issuer in order to carry out, give effect to, and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Bonds, the Official Statement, and the Bond Resolution;
b. The information contained in the Preliminary Official Statement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact and does not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the information to be contained in the Official Statement, as of its date and the date of Closing, will not contain any untrue statement of material fact and will not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;
c. To the knowledge of the Issuer there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity or before or by any court, public board or body pending against or affecting the Issuer or the Governing Authority or threatened against or affecting the Issuer or the Governing Authority (or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any basis therefor) contesting the due organization and valid existence of the Issuer or the Governing Authority or the validity of the Act or wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Official Statement or the validity or due adoption of the Bond Resolution or the validity, due authorization and execution of the Bonds, this Bond Purchase Agreement or any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or by the Official Statement, except as disclosed in the Official Statement;
d. The authorization, execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Official Statement, this Bond Purchase Agreement, and the other documents contemplated hereby and by the Official Statement, and compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of such instruments, do not and will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Issuer a breach of or a default under any (i) statute, indenture, ordinance, resolution, mortgage or other agreement by which the Issuer is bound; (ii) provisions of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974, as amended; or (iii) existing law, court or administrative regulation, decree or order by which the Issuer or its properties are or, on the date of Closing, will be bound;
e. All consents of and notices to or filings with governmental authorities necessary for the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions described in the Official Statement, the Bond Resolution, and this Bond Purchase Agreement (other than such consents, notices and filings, if any, as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of any federal or state jurisdiction) required to be obtained or made have been obtained or made or will be obtained or made prior to delivery of the Bonds;
f. The Issuer agrees to cooperate with the Underwriter and its counsel in any endeavor to qualify the Bonds for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the Underwriter may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to register as a dealer or a broker in any such state or jurisdiction, qualify as a foreign corporation or file any general or specific consents to service of process under the laws of any state, or submit to the general jurisdiction of any state. The Issuer consents to the lawful use of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement by the Underwriter in obtaining such qualifications. No member of the Governing Authority, or any officer, employee or agent of the Issuer shall be individually liable for the breach of any representation or covenant made by the Issuer; and
g. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Bond Purchase Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Issuer and the Underwriter; (ii) in connection with such transaction, including the process leading thereto, the Underwriter's primary role, as an underwriter, is to purchase the Bonds for resale to investors, and the Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent, municipal advisor, financial advisor or as a fiduciary of or to the Issuer; (iii) the Underwriter has neither assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuer with respect to the offering of the Bonds or the process leading thereto (whether or not the Underwriter, or any affiliate of the Underwriter, has advised or is currently advising the Issuer on other matters) nor has it assumed any other obligation to the Issuer except the obligations expressly set forth in this Bond Purchase Agreement; (iv) the Underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of the Issuer; and (v) the Issuer has consulted with its own legal, accounting, tax, financial and other advisors, as applicable, to the extent it has deemed appropriate in connection with the offering of the Bonds.
7. Delivery of, and Payment for, the Bonds. At 10:00 a.m., New Orleans Time, on July 31, 2018, or at such other time or date as shall have been mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Underwriter, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Underwriter, the Bonds, in definitive form as fully registered bonds bearing CUSIP numbers (provided neither the printing of a wrong CUSIP number on any Bond nor the failure to print a CUSIP number thereon shall constitute cause to refuse delivery of any Bond) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), duly executed and registered by Argent Trust Company, Ruston, Louisiana (the "Paying Agent"), together with the other documents hereinafter mentioned and the other moneys required by the Bond Resolution to be provided by the Issuer and, subject to the conditions contained herein, the Underwriter will accept such delivery and pay the purchase price of the Bonds in Federal Funds for the account of the Issuer.
Delivery of the Bonds as aforesaid shall be made at the offices of Foley & Judell, L.L.P., in New Orleans, Louisiana ("Bond Counsel"), or such other place as may be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Issuer. Such delivery against payment of the Purchase Price therefor at the time listed above is herein called the "Closing." The Bonds will be delivered initially as fully registered bonds, one bond representing each CUSIP number of the Bonds, and registered in such names as the Underwriter may request not less than three business days prior to the Closing (or if no such instructions are received by the Paying Agent, in the name of the Underwriter).

It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for each such indemnified party (to the extent clause (ii) of the preceding sentence is applicable), and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Underwriter in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) shall discuss with the other indemnifying parties possible counsel and mutually satisfactory counsel shall be agreed upon. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify or reimburse the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
15. Notices. Any notice or other communication to be given to the Issuer under this Bond Purchase Agreement may be given by delivering the same in writing at the address of the Issuer set forth above, and any notice or other communication to be given to the Underwriter under this Bond Purchase Agreement may be given by delivering the same in writing to Raymond James & Associates,Inc., 909 Poydras Street, Ste. 1300, New Orleans, LA 70112.

To Bond Purchase Agreement
FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF UNDERWRITER
This certificate is furnished by Raymond James & Associates, Inc., in connection with the purchase of $27,765,000 aggregate principal amount Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2018A (the "Bonds"), of the Parish School Board of the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana (the "Issuer"), at negotiated sale. The undersigned hereby certifies as set forth below with respect to the sale and issuance of the Bonds:
1. The undersigned is duly authorized to execute this certificate on behalf of Raymond James & Associates, Inc., and has been fully apprised of the facts and circumstances forming the basis of this certificate.
2. (a) As of the date of this certificate, for each Maturity of the General Rule Maturities, the first price at which at least 10% of such Maturity was sold to the Public is the respective price listed in Schedule A.
(b) Raymond James & Associates, Inc. offered the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities to the Public for purchase at the respective initial offering prices listed in Schedule A (the "Initial Offering Prices") on or before the Sale Date. " copy of the pricing wire or equivalent communication for the Bonds is attached to this certificate as Schedule B.
(c) As set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. has agreed in writing that, (i) for each Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities, it would neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds of such Maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Maturity during the Holding Period for such Maturity (the "hold-the-offering-price rule"), and (ii) any selling group agreement shall contain the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and any retail distribution agreement shall contain the agreement of each broker-dealer who is a party to the retail distribution agreement, to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule. Pursuant to such agreement, no Underwriter (as defined below) has offered or sold any Maturity of the Hold-the-Offering Price Maturities at a price that is higher than the respective Initial Offering Price for that Maturity of the Bonds during the Holding Period.
3. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. has (a) determined the aggregate purchase price of the Bonds to be $28,604,929.65, representing the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds equal to $27,765,000.00, plus a net premium/discount of $1,020,402.15, less underwriter’s discount of $180,472.50; (b) determined the yield on the Bonds for arbitrage purposes, calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Code, to be 3.3173%; and (c) determined the weighted average maturity of the Bonds, calculated based on reoffering price, to be 17.976 years.
4. No Bonds were sold in exchange for property or rights to use any other types of property.
5. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. further represents that, in our judgment, the amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Fund established in connection with the Bonds is customary in connection with the issuance of securities of the general character of the Bonds and to permit an economically feasible borrowing rate on the Bonds independent of the benefit derived from the investment of moneys on deposit in such Reserve Fund. "Reserve Fund" as used herein means the Reserve Fund as defined in the Tax Compliance Certificate.
6. In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the terms below shall have the following meanings in this certificate:
(a) "General Rule Maturities" means those Maturities of the Bonds listed in Schedule A hereto as the "General Rule Maturities."
(b) "Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities" means those Maturities of the Bonds listed Schedule A hereto as the "Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturities."
(c) "Holding Period" means, with respect to a Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity, the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date (which date shall be July 17, 2018, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of such Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity to the Public at prices that are no higher than the Initial Offering Price for such Hold-the-Offering-Price Maturity.
(d) "Maturity" means Bonds with the same credit and payment terms. Bonds with different maturity dates, or Bonds with the same maturity date but different stated interest rates, are treated as separate maturities.
(e) "Public" means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter. The term "related party" for purposes of this certificate generally means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly.
(f) "Sale Date" means the first day on which there is a binding contract in writing for the sale of a Maturity of the Bonds. The Sale Date of the Bonds is July 17, 2018.
(g) "Tax Compliance Certificate" means the Tax Compliance Certificate for the Bonds to which this certificate is attached.
(h) "Underwriter" means, collectively, (i) 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 (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph 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).
The representations set forth in this certificate are limited to factual matters only. We are not engaged in the practice of law, and nothing in this certificate represents our interpretation of any laws, including specifically Sections 103 and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The undersigned understands that the foregoing information will be relied upon by the Issuer with respect to certain of the representations set forth in the Tax Compliance Certificate and with respect to compliance with the federal income tax rules affecting the Bonds, and by Foley & Judell, L.L.P., as bond counsel, in connection with rendering its opinion that the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the preparation of the Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-G, and other federal income tax advice that it may give to the Issuer from time to time relating to the Bonds; however, the foregoing information may not be relied upon by any other person for any other purpose.
