1 The Contractor and the Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and asg,l.gns t~he
Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference. - -IJI'I..
2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, exce,pt "to
participate in conferences as provided in Subparagraph 3,1. '"
3 If there is nD Owner Default, the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall arise after:
3,1 The Owner has notified the Contractor and the Surety at its address described in Paragraph 10 below that the Owner is considering
declaring a Contractor Default and has requested and attempted 'to arrange a conference with the Contractor and the Surety to be held not,
later than fifteen days after receipt of such notice to discuss methods of performing the Construction Contract. 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; and
3,2 The Owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally terminated the Contractor's right to complete the contract. Such Contractor
Default shall not be declared earlier than twenty days after the Contractor and the Surety have received notice as provided in Subparagraph
3,1; and
3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to the Surety in accordance with the terms of the CDnstruction
Contract or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract in accordance with the terms of the contract with the Owner.
4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the following
actions:
4,1 Arrange for the Contractor, with consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; or
4,2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors; or
4.3 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 the 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 Paragraph 6 in excess of the Balance of the Contract
Price incurred by the Owner resulting from the Contractor's default; or
4,4 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, tender payment therefor to the Owner; or
,2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner citing reasons therefor.
5 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 4 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this
Bond fifteen 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 Subparagraph
4,4, and Owner refuses the payment tendered 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. '
6 After the Owner has terminated the Contactor's right to complete the Construction Contract, and if the Surety elects to act under Subparagraph
4,1,4,2, or 4.3 above, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction

performance or non,performance of the Contractor, '
7 The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction CO'!tract, and
the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set oft 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 or successors.
8 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, '
9 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 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
