This Governing Authority does hereby obligate itself and its successors in office to impose and collect the Tax in each year in which the Tax is authorized to be levied and collected, and does hereby irrevocably and irrepealably dedicate, appropriate and pledge the annual income to be derived from the assessment, levy and collection of the Tax in each year to the payment of the Bonds, so long as the Bonds are Outstanding. The Issuer further covenants that it shall not lower the Tax rate to result in lower Tax revenues than were collected in the fiscal year prior to the proposed adjustment.

SECTION 8. Sinking Fund. For the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, there is hereby created a special fund known as the "Sub-Road District No. 2 of Road District No. 2B (Ward 11) Limited Tax Bonds

Sinking Fund", said Sinking Fund to be maintained with the regularly designated fiscal agent bank of the Issuer. The Issuer shall deposit in the Sinking Fund from the first revenues of the Tax received in any calendar year, a sum equal to the principal and/or interest falling due on the Bonds in that calendar year, together with such additional proportionate sum as may be required to pay said principal and interest as the same become due and any amount required to pay the charges of each Paying Agent. The depository for the Sinking Fund shall transfer from the Sinking Fund to the Paying Agent at least one (1) day in advance of each Interest Payment Date, funds fully sufficient to pay promptly the principal and interest falling due on such date.

It shall be specifically understood and agreed, however, and this provision shall be a part of this contract, that after funds have actually been set aside out of the revenues of the Tax for any year sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds for that year, and all required amounts have been deposited in said Sinking Fund, then any excess of annual revenues of the Tax remaining in that year shall be free for expenditure by the Issuer for any other lawful corporate purpose for which the Tax is authorized.

All moneys deposited with the regularly designated fiscal agent bank of the Issuer, the Paying Agents or any other bank under the terms of this Resolution shall constitute sacred funds for the benefit of the Owners and shall be secured by said fiduciaries at all times to the full extent thereof in the manner required by law for the securing of deposits of public funds.

SECTION 9. Parity. The Issuer shall issue no other debt obligations of any kind or nature payable from a pledge or dedication of the funds to be derived by the Issuer from the levy and collection of the Tax having priority over or parity with the Bonds, except that additional debt obligations may hereafter be issued on a parity with the Bonds under the following conditions:

• (1) The Bonds, or any part thereof, including the interest thereon, may be refunded, 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 may have been enjoyed by the Bonds refunded; provided, however, that if only a portion of the Bonds Outstanding is so refunded and the refunding bonds require total principal and interest payments during any year in excess of the principal and interest which would have been required in such year to pay the Bonds refunded thereby, then such Bonds may be not 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 2 of this Section).
• (2) Additional debt obligations may be issued on and enjoy a full and complete parity with the Bonds with respect to the funds to be derived by the Issuer from the levy and collection of the Tax provided that the anticipated Tax revenues in the year in which the additional debt obligations are to be issued must be at least 1.35 times the combined principal and interest requirements for any calendar year on the Bonds, any Outstanding additional

debt obligations issued pursuant to the provisions hereof and the proposed additional debt obligations.

• (3) Junior and subordinate debt obligations may be issued without restriction.
• (4) The Issuer must be in full compliance with all covenants and undertakings in connection with the Bonds and there must be no delinquencies in payments required to be made in connection therewith.

SECTION 10. Budget; Audit. As long as any of the Bonds are Outstanding and unpaid in principal or interest, the Issuer shall prepare and adopt a budget prior to the beginning of each fiscal year and shall furnish a copy of such budget within thirty (30) days after its adoption to any Owner upon request therefor. The Issuer shall also cause an audit of its books and accounts to be made as may be required by State law and a copy of such audit shall be furnished to any Owner upon request therefor.

SECTION 11. Application of Proceeds. The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to do any and all things necessary and incidental to carry out the provisions of this Resolution; to cause the necessary Bonds to be printed; to issue, execute and seal the Bonds; and to effect delivery thereof as herein provided. The proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds shall be deposited by the Issuer with its fiscal agent or other financial institution authorized for such deposit under State law to be used only for the purposes for which the Bonds are issued.

SECTION 12. Legal Obligations. The Bonds constitute legal, binding and valid obligations of the Issuer and shall be the only representations of the indebtedness as herein authorized and created.

SECTION 13. Contract. The provisions of this Resolution constitute a contract between the Issuer, or its successor, and any Owners from time to time of the Bonds, and any Owners may at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings, enforce and compel the performance of all duties required to be performed by this Governing Authority or the Issuer as a result of issuing the Bonds.

No material modification or amendment of this Resolution, or of any resolution amendatory hereof or supplemental hereto, may be made without the consent in writing of the Owners of the Bonds.

SECTION 14. Severability; Application of Subsequently Enacted Laws. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds shall be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds, but this Resolution and the Bonds 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 Resolution which validate or make legal any provision of the Resolution and/or the Bonds which would not otherwise be valid or legal, shall be deemed to apply to this Resolution and to the Bonds.

SECTION 15. Recital of Regularity. This Governing Authority having investigated the regularity of the proceedings had in connection with the Bonds

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 conformity with the requirements of the Constitution and statutes of Louisiana."

SECTION 16. Effect of Registration. The Issuer, the Paying Agen ts, and any agent of either, may treat the Owners in whose name the Bonds are registered as the Owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, and to the extent permitted by law, neither the Issuer, the Paying Agents, nor any agent of either shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 17. Cancellation of Bonds. The Bonds, when surrendered for payment or prepayment, shall be promptly canceled by the appropriate Paying Agent or the Issuer. The canceled Bonds held by such Paying Agent shall be disposed of as directed in writing by the Issuer.

SECTION 18. Paying Agents. The Issuer will at all times maintain Paying Agents for the performance of the duties hereunder as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds. The designation of the initial Paying Agents in this Resolution is hereby confirmed and approved. The Issuer reserves the right to appoint successor Paying Agents.

SECTION 19. Arbitrage and Bank Qualification. The Issuer covenants and agrees that, to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Louisiana, it will comply with the requirements of the Code in order to establish, maintain and preserve the exclusion from "gross income" of interest on the Bonds under the Code. The Issuer further covenants and agrees that it will not take any action, fail to take any action, or permit any action within its control to be taken, or 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 in any manner, the effect of which would be to cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" or would result in the inclusion of the interest on the Bonds in gross income under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) the failure to comply with the limitation on investment of Bond proceeds, (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".

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 2019 will not exceed $10,000,000.

SECTION 20. Publication. A copy of thi s Resolution shall be published immediately after its adoption in one (1) issue of the official journal of the Issuer.

As a condition to the delivery of the Bonds to the Purchasers, the Purchasers will execute a standard letter, acceptable to them and the Issuer, indicating they have conducted their own analysis with respect to the Bonds and are extending credit in the form of the Bonds as a vehicle for making a commercial loan to the Issuer.

SECTION 22. Disclosure Under SEC Rule 15c2-12. It is recognized that the Issuer 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].

SECTION 23. Effective Date. This Resolution shall b ecome effective immediately upon its adoption.

This resolution having been submitted to a vote, the vote thereon was as follows:
