§1 The Contractor and Surety,jointly and severally,bind themselves,their heirs,executors,administrators,successors
and assigns to the Owner to pay for labor,materials and equipment furnished for use in the performance of the
Construction Contract,which is incorporated herein by reference,subject to the following terms.
§2 If the Contractor promptly makes payment of all sums due to Claimants,and defends,indemnifies and holds
harmless the Owner from claims,demands,liens or suits by any person or entity seeking payment for labor,materials
or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract,then the Surety and the Contractor
shall have no obligation under this Bond.
§3 If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract,the Surety's obligation to the Owner under this Bond
shall arise after the Owner has promptly notified the Contractor and the Surety(at the address described in Section 13)
of claims,demands,liens or suits against the Owner or the Owner's property by any person or entity seeking payment
for labor,materials or equipment furnished for use in the performance of the Construction Contract and tendered
defense of such claims,demands,liens or suits to the Contractor and the Surety.
§4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions in Section 3,the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense
defend,indemnify and hold harmless the Owner against a duly tendered claim,demand,lien or suit.
§5 The Surety's obligations to a Claimant under this Bond shall arise after the following:
§5.1 Claimants,who do not have a direct contract with the Contractor,
.1 have furnished a written notice of non-payment to the Contractor,stating with substantial accuracy the
amount claimed and the name of the party to whom the materials were,or equipment was,furnished or
supplied or for whom the labor was done or performed,within ninety(90)days after having last
performed labor or last furnished materials or equipment included in the Claim;and
.2 have sent a Claim to the Surety(at the address described in Section 13).
§5.2 Claimants,who are employed by or have a direct contract with the Contractor,have sent a Claim to the Surety(at
the address described in Section 13).
§6 If a notice of non-payment required by Section 5.1.1 is given by the Owner to the Contractor,that is sufficient to
satisfy a Claimant's obligation to furnish a written notice of non-payment under Section 5.1.1.
§7 When a Claimant has satisfied the conditions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2,whichever is applicable,the Surety shall
promptly and at the Surety's expense take the following actions:
§7.1 Send an answer to the Claimant,with a copy to the Owner,within sixty(60)days after receipt of the Claim,
stating the amounts that are undisputed and the basis for challenging any amounts that are disputed;and
§7.2 Pay or arrange for payment of any undisputed amounts.
§1.3 The Surety's failure to discharge its obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of defenses the Surety or Contractor may have or acquire as to a Claim,except as to undisputed
amounts for which the Surety and Claimant have reached agreement.If,however,the Surety fails to discharge its
obligations under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2,the Surety shall indemnify the Claimant for the reasonable attorney's
fees the Claimant incurs thereafter to recover any sums found to be due and owing to the Claimant.
§8 The Surety's total obligation shall not exceed the amount of this Bond,plus the amount of reasonable attorney's
fees provided under Section 7.3,and the amount of this Bond shall be credited for any payments made in good faith
by the Surety.
§9 Amounts owed by the Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract shall be used for the performance
of the Construction Contract and to satisfy claims,if any,under any construction performance bond.By the
Contractor furnishing and the Owner accepting this Bond,they agree that all funds earned by the Contractor in the
performance of the Construction Contract are dedicated to satisfy obligations of the Contractor and Surety under this
Bond,subject to the Owner's priority to use the funds for the completion of the work.

related subcontracts,purchase orders and other obligations.

equipment were furnished by anyone under the Construction Contract,whichever of(1)or(2)first occurs. If the
provisions of this Paragraph are void or prohibited by law,the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a
defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable.
§13 Notice and Claims to the Surety,the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown
on the page on which their signature appears.Actual receipt of notice or Claims,however accomplished,shall be
sufficient compliance as of the date received.
§14 When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where

shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be

§1 The Contractor and Surety,jointly and severally,bind themselves,their heirs,executors,administrators,successors
and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract,which is incorporated herein by reference.
§2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract,the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under
this Bond,except when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in Section 3.
§3 If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract,the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise
after
.1 the Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering declaring
a Contractor Default.Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among
the Owner,Contractor and Surety to discuss the Contractor's performance.If the Owner does not
request a conference,the Surety may,within five(5)business days after receipt of the Owner's notice,
request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference,the Owner shall attend.Unless
the Owner agrees otherwise,any conference requested under this Section 3.1 shall be held within ten
(10)business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice.If the Owner,the Contractor and the
Surety agree,the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract,
but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's right,if any,subsequently to declare a Contractor
Default;
.2 the Owner declares a Contractor Default,terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety;
and
.3 the Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the
Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract.
§4 Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Section 3.1 shall not constitute a failure
to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety's obligations,or release the Surety from its obligations,except to
the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.
§5 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Section 3,the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense
take one of the following actions:
§5.1 Arrange for the Contractor,with the consent of the Owner,to perform and complete the Construction Contract;
§5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself,through its agents or independent
contractors;
§5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for
performance and completion of the Construction Contract,arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the
Owner and a contractor selected with the Owner's concurrence,to be secured with performance and payment bonds
executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract,and pay to the Owner the
amount of damages as described in Section 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as
a result of the Contractor Default;or
§5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete,arrange for completion,or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable
promptness under the circumstances:
.1 After investigation,determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and,as soon as
practicable after the amount is determined,make payment to the Owner;or
.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner,citing the reasons for denial.
§6 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 5 with reasonable promptness,the Surety shall be deemed to
be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety
demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond,and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any
remedy available to the Owner.If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 5.4,and the Owner refuses the payment
or the Surety has denied liability,in whole or in part,without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any
remedy available to the Owner.

§7 If the Surety elects to act under Section 5.1,5.2 or 5.3,then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not
be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract,and the responsibilities of the Owner to the
Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract.Subject to the commitment by the
Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price,the Surety is obligated,without duplication,for
.1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the
Construction Contract;
.2 additional legal,design professional and delay costs resulting from the Contractor's Default,and
resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Section 5;and
.3 liquidated damages,or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract,actual
damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.
§8 If the Surety elects to act under Section 5.1,5.3 or 5.4,the Surety's liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.
§9 The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the
Construction Contract,and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such
unrelated obligations.No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its
heirs,executors,administrators,successors and assigns.
§10 The Surety hereby waives notice of any change,including changes of time,to the Construction Contract or to
related subcontracts,purchase orders and other obligations.
§11 Any proceeding,legal or equitable,under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in
the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a declaration
of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety
refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond,whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this Paragraph
are void or prohibited by law,the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of
the suit shall be applicable.
§12 Notice to the Surety,the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page
on which their signature appears.
§13 When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where
the construction was to be performed,any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement
shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be
deemed incorporated herein.When so furnished,the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and
not as a common law bond.
