Parish is hereby authorized to incur debt for the purpose of paying current expenses
of the Parish during the term of the Note, in anticipation of the revenues accruing to
the Parish during the term of the Note, and to represent said indebtedness, the Parish
shall issue its Revenue Note, Series 2026 (the “Note”). The Note shall mature on the

computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The
Note shall be issued in the form of a single fully registered note, dated the date of

the Note shall be subject to prepayment at any time, in whole or in part at the option

the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such additions, omissions and changes as
may be necessary, and the Clerk of the Parish Council and the Parish President (the

the Term Sheet not expressly stated in this Ordinance are hereby approved and
adopted as if fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to
the delivery of the Note to the Lender, the Lender will execute a standard letter,
acceptable to it and the Parish, indicating (i) it has conducted its own analysis with
respect to the Note, (ii) it is extending credit in the form of the Note as a vehicle for
making a commercial loan to the Parish, and (iii) it intends to hold the Note until
maturity, provided that the Lender retains the right at any time to dispose of the Note
or any interest therein or portion thereof, but agrees that any such sale, transfer or
distribution by the Lender shall be made in accordance with applicable law and only

indirectly controlled by a bank or under common control with a bank, other than a
broker dealer or municipal securities dealer, which certifies that it is a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

and Clerk of the Parish Council are each hereby further authorized and directed, for
and on behalf of the Parish, to accept, receive, execute, seal, attest and deliver all such
documents, certificates and other instruments as are required in connection with the
authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Note and to take such further action
as may be appropriate or required by law or advised by bond counsel or the municipal
advisor in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Note.
SECTION 6. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this
Ordinance or of the Note shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such
illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Ordinance or of the
Note, but this Ordinance and the Note shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any constitutional or
statutory provisions enacted after the date of this Ordinance which validate or make
legal any provision of the Ordinance and/or the Note which would not otherwise be
valid or legal, shall be deemed to apply to this Ordinance and to the Note.
SECTION 7. Disclosure Under SEC Rule 15c2-12. The Parish will not be
required to comply with the continuing disclosure requirements described in Rule
15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission [17 CFR 240.15c2-12].
