WHEREAS, the Police Jury of the Parish of Acadia, State of Louisiana (the "Police Jury"), acting as the governing authority of the Acadia Parish Sales Tax District, State of Louisiana (the "Issuer"), proposes to authorize the issuance of Three Million Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($3,025,000) of Sales Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2008 (the "Bonds), of the Issuer, in connection with the refunding of certain outstanding bonds of the Issuer; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Police Jury of the Parish of Acadia, State of Louisiana (the "Police Jury"), acting as the governing authority of the Acadia Parish Sales Tax District, State of Louisiana (the "Issuer"), that:
SECTION 1.

The Issuer will obligate itself or permit to be discontinued or decreased the Tax in anticipation of the collection of which the Bonds have been issued, nor in any way make any change which would diminish the amount of the Excess Revenues of the Tax pledged to the payment of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds, until all of the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds shall have been paid in principal and interest, all as will be more fully set forth in the Bond Resolution.
SECTION 2. A certified copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to the Louisiana State Bond Commission on behalf of this Police Jury, together with a request for their prompt consideration and approval of this application.
By virtue of the Issuer’s application for acceptance and utilization of the benefits of the Louisiana State Bond Commission’s approval resolved and set forth herein, it resolves that it understands and agrees that such approval is expressly conditioned upon, and it further resolves that it understands, agrees and binds itself, its successors and assigns to, full and continuing compliance with the "State Bond Commission Policy on Approval of Proposed Use of Swaps, or other forms of Derivative Products Hedges, Etc." adopted by the Commission on July 20, 2006, as to the borrowing(s) and other matter(s) subject to the approval(s), including subsequent application and approval under said Policy of the implementation or use of any swap(s) or other product(s) or enhancement(s) covered thereby.
