WHEREAS, at the request of the Indemnitor and upon the express understanding that this Agreement be given, the Surety has executed or procured to be executed, and may from time to time hereafter execute or procure to be executed, said Bonds on behalf of the Indemnitor; and

WHEREAS, the Indemnitor have a substantial, material and beneficial interest in the obtaining of the Bonds or in the Surety’s refraining from canceling the Bonds.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein, the Indemnitor jointly and severally hereby covenant and agree with the Surety, as follows:

I – PREMIUMS

The Indemnitor will pay to the Surety in such manner as may be agreed upon all premiums and charges of the Surety for the Bonds in accordance with its rate filings, its manual of rates, or as otherwise agreed upon, until the Indemnitor shall serve evidence satisfactory to the Surety of its discharge or release from the Bonds and all liability by reason thereof; provided that such premiums shall be notified and agreed to by the Indemnitors.

II – INDEMNITY; DISCHARGE

The Indemnitor shall exonerate, hold harmless and indemnify the Surety from and against any and all liability, loss, costs, damages, reasonably incurred fees of attorneys and consultants, and other expenses, including reasonable interest, which the Surety may sustain and incur: (i) by reason of , or in consequence of, having executed or procured the execution of the Bonds, including, without limitation, making any investigation in connection with any Bond, prosecuting or defending any action and obtaining the release of any Bond; (ii) by reason of the failure of the Indemnitor to perform or comply with the covenants and conditions of this Agreement; or (iii) in enforcing any of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Payment by reason of the aforesaid causes shall be made to the Surety by the Indemnitor upon notice of Surety in writing as soon as liability exists or is asserted against the Surety, whether or not the Surety shall have made any payment therefor. An itemized statement sworn to by the Surety, or the voucher or vouchers or other evidence of payment, compromise or liability shall be prima facie evidence of the fact and amount of the Indemnitor’s’ liability under this Agreement. The Indemnitor will, upon no less than thirty (30) days’ notice, at the request of the Surety, procure the discharge of the Surety from any Bond and all liability by reason thereof. Upon such discharge or release, the Surety shall return to the Indemnitor any portion of any premium paid which is unearned as a result of such discharge or release. Any payments made by the Indemnitor hereunder shall be held by Surety and are to be used by Surety only for purposes of satisfying incurred losses and expenses associated with a Bond, and any payments in excess of such losses and expenses shall be promptly returned to Indemnitors.

III – ASSIGNMENT

The Indemnitor hereby assign, transfer and set over, to the Surety, as collateral to secure the obligations in any and all of the paragraphs of this Agreement and any other indebtedness and liabilities of the Indemnitor to the Surety, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, the assignment in the case of each contract to become effective as of the date of the Bond covering such contract: (a) all of the Indemnitor’s rights, title and interest in, and arising in any manner out of, all contracts referred to in the Bonds whether or not bonded , or in, or arising in any manner out of the Bonds; (b) any and all sums that may be due or hereafter become due on account of any and all contracts referred to in the Bonds including, but not limited to, all percentages retained, progress payments, deferred payments, compensation for extra work and proceeds of damage claims; (c) all of the Indemnitor’s rights, title and interest in and to all machinery, supplies, equipment, plant, tools and materials of every nature and description which are now, or may hereafter be, about or upon the site or sites of any and all of the contractual work referred to in the Bonds or elsewhere, including material purchased for or chargeable to any and all contracts referred to in the Bonds, materials which may be in process of construction, in storage elsewhere, or in transportation to any and all of said sites; (d) all proprietary systems, software or any other assets of a similar nature which are employed by the Indemnitor in connection with any and all contractual work referred to in the Bonds; (e) all of the Indemnitor’s rights, title and interest in and to all subcontracts let or to be let in connection with any and all contracts referred to in the Bonds, and in and to all surety bonds supporting such subcontracts; (f) all actions, causes of actions, claims and demands whatsoever which the Indemnitor may have or acquire against any subcontractor, laborer or materialman, or any person furnishing or agreeing to furnish or supply labor, material supplies, machinery, tools or other equipment in connection with or on account of any and all contracts referred to in the Bonds; and all actions, causes of actions, claims and demands whatsoever which the Indemnitor may have or acquire against any surety or sureties of any subcontractor, laborer, or materialman and (g) all proceeds of the foregoing. This assignment shall be enforceable only in the event of a default hereunder by Indemnitor of its obligations pursuant to Section II hereunder not cured upon five (5) days’ notice (an “Event of Default”).

IV – TRUST FUND

If any of the Bonds are executed in connection with a contract which by its terms or by law prohibits the assignment of the contract’s proceeds, or any part thereof, the Indemnitor covenant and agree that all payments received for or on account of said contract shall be held as a trust fund in which the Surety has an interest, for the payment of obligations incurred in the performance of the contract and for labor, materials, and services furnished in the prosecution of the work provided in said contract or any authorized extension or modification thereof; and, further, it is expressly understood and declared that all monies due and to become due under any contract or contracts covered by the Bonds are trust funds, whether in the possession of the Indemnitor or otherwise, for the benefit of and for payment of all such obligations in connection with any such contract or contracts for which the Surety would be liable under any of said Bonds, which said trust also inures to the benefit of the Surety for any liability or loss it may have or sustain under any said Bonds, and this Agreement and declaration shall also constitute notice of such trust.

V – UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE

This Agreement shall constitute a Security Agreement to the Surety and also a Financing Statement, both in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of every jurisdiction wherein such Code is in effect, and may be so used by the Surety without in any way abrogating, restricting or limiting the rights of the Surety under this Agreement or under law, or in equity.

VI – TAKEOVER

In the event of any breach or default asserted by the obligee in any Bonds, or the Indemnitor has abandoned the work on or forfeited any contract or contracts covered by any Bonds, or has failed to pay obligations incurred in connection therewith, or in the event of the death, disappearance, Indemnitor’s conviction for a felony, imprisonment, incompetency, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the Indemnitor, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Indemnitor, or the property of the Indemnitor, or in the event of an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Indemnitor, or if any action is taken by or against the Indemnitor under or by virtue of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Act”), as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, or should reorganization or arrangement proceedings be filed by or against the Indemnitor under said Act, or if any action is taken by or against the Indemnitor under the insolvency laws of any state, possession, or territory of the United States, the Surety shall have the right, at its option and in its sole discretion and is hereby authorized, with

or without exercising any other right or option conferred upon it by law or in the terms of this Agreement, after two (2) days’ written notice to and an opportunity to cure by the Indemnitors, to take possession of any part or all of the work under any contract or contracts covered by any Bonds, and at the expense of the Indemnitor to complete or arrange for the completion of the same, and the Indemnitor shall promptly upon demand pay to the Surety all losses, and expenses so reasonably incurred.

VII – CHANGES

In the event of any breach or default asserted by the obligee in any Bonds, theSurety is authorized and empowered, upon notice to the Indemnitor to assent to any change whatsoever in the Bonds, and/or any contracts referred to in the Bonds, and/or in the general conditions, plans and/or specifications accompanying said contracts, including, but not limited to, any change in the time for the completion of said contracts and to payments or advances thereunder before the same may be due; to assent to or take any assignment or assignments; to execute or consent to the execution of any continuations, extensions or renewals of the Bonds; and to execute any substitute or substitutes therefor, with the same or different conditions, provisions and obligees and with the same or larger or smaller penalties, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Indemnitor shall remain bound under the terms of this Agreement even though any such assent by the Surety does or might substantially increase the liability of said Indemnitor .

VIII – ADVANCES

In the event of any breach or default asserted by the obligee in any Bonds, the Surety is authorized and empowered to guarantee loans, to advance or lend to the Indemnitor any money, which the Surety may see fit, for the purpose of any contracts referred to in, or guaranteed by the Bonds; and all money expended in the completion of any such contracts by the Surety, or lent or advanced from time to time to the Indemnitor, or guaranteed by the Surety for the purposes of any such contracts, and all costs, and expenses incurred by the Surety in relation thereto, unless repaid with legal interest by the Indemnitor to the Surety when due, shall be presumed to be a loss by the Surety for which the Indemnitor shall be responsible, notwithstanding that said money or any part thereof should not be so used by the Indemnitor.

IX – REPORTING; BOOKS & RECORDS

At any time during business hours and until such time as the liability of the Surety under a Bond is terminated and the Surety is fully reimbursed for all of its losses, costs and expenses as a result of having executed, provided or procured said Bond on behalf of the Indemnitor, the Surety shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records, software, data bases, computer stored information, contract documents, drawings, and accounts of the Indemnitor, wherever located, for the purpose of inspection, copying and reproduction.

The Indemnitor authorize the Surety or its designee to investigate the financial condition of the Indemnitor, the status of work under contracts being performed by the Indemnitor, the condition of the performance of such contracts, the status of payment of accounts of the Indemnitor and all other matters deemed appropriate by the Surety for the purpose of determining whether or not to execute the Bond on the Indemnitor’s behalf or in investigating claims made against the Bond or in investigating the Surety’s exposure to loss generally. When requested by the Surety, banks, depositories, accountants, attorneys, credit reporting agencies, obligees on a Bond, architects, materialmen, subcontractors, supply houses, prior and subsequent sureties, and joint venturers are hereby authorized and directed by the Indemnitor to furnish the Surety any information requested. The Surety and every such person from whom such information is requested hereby are and shall be released and discharged of any and all claim, liability and responsibility which they or any of them might otherwise incur or be subject to for or by reason of any such receipt or disclosure of any information respecting the Indemnitor which is obtained or utilized pursuant hereto.

X – BOND EXECUTION

The Indemnitor hereby waive notice of the execution of said Bonds and of the acceptance of this Agreement, and the Indemnitor hereby waive all notice of any default, or any other act or acts giving rise to any claim under said Bonds, as well as notice of any and all liability of the Surety under said Bonds,

Surety will make good faith efforts to notify Indemnitor of such actions.

XI – SETTLEMENTS

In the event of any breach or default asserted by the obligee in any Bonds, the Surety shall have the exclusive right for itself and for the Indemnitor to adjust, settle or compromise any claim, demand, suit or judgment upon the Bonds. In the event of any payment by the Surety, the Indemnitor agree that in any accounting between the Surety and the Indemnitor, the Surety shall be entitled to charge for any and all disbursements made by it in good faith in and about the matters contemplated by this Agreement under the belief that it is or was liable for the sums and the amounts so disbursed, or that it was necessary or expedient to make such disbursements, whether or not such liability, necessity or expediency existed.

If the Indemnitor request the Surety to litigate any claim or demand, or to defend any suit, or to appeal any judgment, it shall upon request from the Surety deposit with the Surety, at the time of such request, cash or collateral satisfactory to the Surety in kind and amount, to be used in paying any judgment or judgments rendered or that may be rendered, with interest, costs, expenses and attorney’s fees, including those of the Surety.

It is understood and agreed by the Indemnitor that the rights, powers, and remedies given the Surety under this Agreement shall be and are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights, powers, and remedies which the Surety may have or acquire against the Indemnitor or others, whether by the terms of any other agreement or by operation of law or otherwise.
