WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Principals, in the performance of contracts and the
fulfillment of obligations generally, whether in their own names solely or as
co-adventurers with others, may desire, request, or be required to give or
procure certain Bonds, and/or to renew, continue, extend or substitute, from

WHEREAS, at the request of the Principals and the Indemnitors and with the
express understanding that this Agreement be given, the Surety has heretofore or

and
WHEREAS, the Indemnitors have a substantial, material and beneficial
interest in the obtaining of the Bonds or in the Surety's refraining from

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the Principals and Indemnitors for themselves, their
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally,
hereby covenant and agree with the Surety, its successors and assigns, as
follows:
FIRST: PREMIUMS - The Principals and Indemnitors will pay to the Surety,
promptly upon demand, all premiums, costs and charges of the Surety for Bonds
requested and/or issued by the Surety in accordance with its rate filings, its
manual of rates, or as otherwise agreed upon, and where such premium, costs and
charges are annual, continue to pay the same until the Principals of Indemnitors
shall deliver evidence satisfactory to the Surety of its discharge or release
from the Bonds and all liability by reason thereof.
SECOND: INDEMNITY - The Principals and Indemnitors shall exonerate,
indemnify, and keep indemnified the Surety from and against any and all
liability for losses, fees, costs and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature
(including, but not limited to interest, court costs and counsel (fees) and from
and against any and all such losses, fees, costs and expenses which the Surety
may sustain or incur: (1) by reason of being requested to execute or procure the
execution of any Bonds; or (2) by having executed or procured the execution of
any Bonds; or (3) by reason of the failure of the Principals or Indemnitors to
perform or comply with any of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement;
or (4) 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

might be liable for the sums and amounts so disbursed or that is was necessary
or expedient to make such disbursements, whether or not such liability,
necessity or expediency existed; and that the vouchers or other evidence or any
such payments made by the Surety shall be prima facie evidence of the fact and
amount of liability to the Surety. If for any reason the Surety shall deem it
necessary to set up or to increase a reserve to cover any possible liability for
losses and/or fees, costs and expenses for which the Principals and the
Indemnitors will be obliged to indemnify the Surety under the terms of this
Agreement, the Principals and the Indemnitors will deposit with the Surety,
promptly upon demand, a sum of money equal to such reserve (including any fees,
costs and expenses) and any increase thereof as collateral security to the
Surety for such liabilities. The Surety shall have the right to use the deposit,
or any part thereof, in payment or settlement of any such liabilities for which
the Principals and the Indemnitors would be obliged to indemnify the Surety
under the terms of this Agreement.
THIRD ASSIGNMENT - The Principals and the Indemnitors hereby consenting,
will assign, transfer, pledge and convey to the Surety, and do hereby assign,
transfer, pledge and convey to the Surety, as collateral security for the full
performance of the covenants and agreements herein contained and for the payment
of any other indebtedness or liability of the Principals and/or Indemnitors to
the Surety, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, the assignment in the case
of each contract shall become effective as of the date of the Bond covering such

any contract referred to in the Bonds or of any breach of any Bond; or (2) a
default in discharging any other indebtedness or liabilities incurred in
connection therewith, when due; or (3) any breach of the covenants and
conditions of this Agreement; or (4) any assignment by the Principals for the
benefit of creditors, or of the appointment, or of any application for the
appointment, of a receiver or trustee for the Principals whether insolvent or
not; or (5) any proceeding which deprives the Principals of the use of any of
the machinery, supplies, equipment, plant, tools or material referred to in
