Dear Sir/Madam The Xxxxxx Insurance Company provides contract bonds on the behalf of Excel Energy Group. We have found Excel Energy Group to be an outstanding firm, with a good reputation in the contracting industry. We highly recommend Excel Energy Group and would consider any project submitted by them for bond purposes. They are a well experienced company with a strong financial position and excellent reputation. We would entertain bonds on their behalf in the range of 6 to 8 million single job and 20,000,000 aggregate programs. We, will though, underwrite each job on its own merits. A decision on any particular bond would, of course, be a matter between the contractor and ourselves and would depend upon favorable review of all of the underwriting factors pertinent to the project in question. Our bond forms and those written for Excel Energy are 100% performance and payment bonds. Sincerely, Xxxx X.

In the event of any outage that may occur with any warranted product, Excel will coordinate via Green Energy Products the necessary replacement material. Our program provides the District with a one-quarter percent par stock of lamps and drivers installed.

COMPANY PROFILE In 1992, founder and CEO Xxxxxx Xxxxxx set out to change the way schools used energy in the mid-south. From the beginning, it was “my ambition to achieve two goals in our business—to furnish kids a better learning environment with enhanced lighting and to save schools money,” states Xxxxxx. So, for the last nineteen years, Excel Energy Group has met and exceeded those two goals on over 2,000 facilities throughout the United States. However, the company has evolved over the years to service higher education, government, healthcare, commercial, industrial, and retail projects as well. Our mission and vision has evolved through our continued growth as well. While we remain dedicated to those two goals, we have expanded our scope. We are committed to saving any organization (not just schools) money through customized energy efficient solutions while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint. Furthermore, by using cutting-edge lighting technologies, we can improve working and learning environments by supplying cleaner, whiter, more natural looking light that requires less energy (and therefore less money) to obtain. We are so confident in our ability to save you money that we contractually guarantee your savings—if your decreased energy bills do not pay for the entire cost of the project, we will repay the difference. (Guarantees and warranties may not apply to all projects.) Our company is committed to excellence in energy efficiency. It is our sole desire to help organizations save more money, use less energy, emit less pollution, and help provide optimal learning and working environments for all of our clients. That is why our customers remain our most credible marketing resource—their positive experiences with Excel Energy Group’s dedication to excellence help our products sell themselves. We sincerely hope that your organization will choose to enjoy our customized, turnkey approach to your energy efficiency needs. While CEO & Founder Xxxxxx Xxxxxx founded Excel Energy Group to service school systems within the mid-south, the scope of our operation has since expanded to include many varied applications throughout the majority of the United States. We have performed projects ranging from post-secondary educational institutions to city, county, State, and federal government buildings, from healthcare to commercial, industrial, and retail applications as well. All organizations can benefit from our proven track record of substantially reducing utility bills for all who employ our services. At Excel, we feel one of our best marketing tools are our past customers. As such, we have put together a collection of case studies to better elucidate the type of work we have performed in the past. MISSION & VISION Xxxxxx Xxxxxx founded Excel Energy Group on two core principles—improving learning environments and saving schools money. However, the company has grown to embrace the “triple bottom line” philosophy in regards to all of our customers, whether they are schools, office complexes, government buildings, or industrial applications. The triple bottom line encapsulates our core principles—people, profit, and planet. An unrelenting commitment to excellence in these areas provides a solid foundation for current and future growth.
