Electronic Bidding Procedures: Electronic bids must be submitted for the purchase of the Bonds (all or none) via PARITY7. Bids will be communicated electronically to the Issuer at 7:00 p.m., local Louisiana time, on February 11, 2009. Prior to that time, a prospective bidder may (1) submit the proposed terms of its bid via PARITY7, (2) modify the proposed terms of its bid, in which event the proposed terms as last modified will (unless the bid is withdrawn as described herein) constitute its bid for the Bonds, or (3) withdraw its proposed bid. Once the bids are communicated electronically via PARITY7 to the Issuer, each bid will constitute an irrevocable offer to purchase the Bonds on the terms therein provided. For purposes of the electronic bidding process, the time as maintained on PARITY7 shall constitute the official time.

Sealed Paper Bids: Bids will also be accepted in written form on the Official Bid Form. Each sealed paper bid must be in written form on the Official Bid Form in a sealed enveloped marked “Proposal for the Purchase of $15,000,000 of General Obligation School Bonds, Series 2009, of Zachary Community School District No. 1, State of Louisiana”. For purposes of accepting written bids, the time as maintained on PARITY7 shall constitute the official time.

Bid Requirements: Each bid, whether submitted as a sealed bid or electronically (i) shall be for the full principal amount of the Bonds, (ii) shall name the rate or rates of interest to be borne by the Bonds, expressed in multiples of 1/8th or 1/20th of 1%, (iii) shall prescribe one rate of interest, not to exceed seven per centum (7%) per annum, for the Bonds of any one maturity, (iv) shall limit the interest due on each Bond for each interest period to a single rate, (v) shall be unconditional, (vi) shall be made on the form furnished by the Issuer, without alteration, omission or qualification , and (vii) shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Official Statement.

In addition to the foregoing, the interest rate specified for any maturity after March 1, 2020, shall be the same or greater than the interest rate for the preceding maturity (i.e., level or ascending coupons for the callable maturities). No bid for less than par or which specifies the cancellation of Bonds will be considered. Any premium bid must be paid in the funds specified for the payment of Bonds as part of the purchase price.

Award of Bid: The Governing Authority will meet at the place and time hereinabove set forth for the receipt of bids. The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid offers the lowest “true interest cost” to the Issuer, to be determined by doubling the semiannual interest rate (compounded semiannually) necessary to discount the debt service payments on the Bonds from the payment dates to March 1, 2009, such that the sum of such present values is equal to the price bid, including any premium bid but not including interest accrued to the date of delivery (the preceding calculation is sometimes referred to as the “Canadian Interest Cost Method” or “Present Value Method”). In the case of a tie bid, the winning bid will be awarded by lot. If any bid for the Bonds shall be acceptable, a prompt award of the bonds will be made.

Rejection of Bids; Waiver of Informalities: The Governing Authority reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informalities or irregularities in any bid.

Good Faith Deposit: In connection with the sale of the Bonds, a good faith deposit of 1% of the principal amount of the Bonds will be required. The manner and timing of such deposit shall be set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds. The good faith deposit of the successful bidder or bidders will be deposited and the proceeds credited against the purchase price of the Bonds, or in the case of neglect or refusal to comply with such bid, will be forfeited to the Issuer as and for liquidated damages. No interest will be allowed on the amount of the good faith deposit.

Delivery of the Bonds: The Bonds will be delivered to the successful bidder on or as soon as practicable after March 31, 2009, but the bid form will obligate the purchaser to accept delivery at any time within sixty (60) days of the sale date. The successful bidder shall pay in Federal Funds on the date of delivery the purchase price of the Bonds plus accrued interest. The Bonds will be delivered in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the option of the successful bidder, unless another place shall be mutually agreed upon.

Legal Opinion of Bond Counsel and Closing Documents: The approving legal opinion of Foley & Judell, L.L.P., bond counsel, who have supervised the proceedings, the Bonds and the transcript of record as passed upon will be furnished without cost to the successful bidder. Said transcript will contain the usual closing proofs, including a certificate that up to the time of delivery no litigation has been filed questioning the validity of the Bonds or the taxes necessary to pay the same.

CUSIP Numbers: It is anticipated that the American Bankers’ Association Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures (CUSIP) identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but the failure to print such numbers shall not constitute cause for refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and to pay for the Bonds. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby, and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Issuer or any of the officers or agents thereof because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of the CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the Issuer. However, the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the successful bidder.

Continuing Disclosure: In order to assist bidders in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), the Issuer will undertake, pursuant to the resolution providing for the issuance of the Bonds and a Continuing Disclosure Certificate, to provide annual reports and notices of certain events. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement and will also be set forth in the Final Official Statement.

Additional Information, Bid Forms, and Official Statements: Further information and particulars including the required bid form and an Official Statement relating to the Bonds will be furnished upon application to the undersigned. The Purchaser will be furnished a reasonable number of final official statements on or before the seventh business day following the sale of the Bonds.
