WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the Indemnitors and 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 time to time, the same or new Bonds with the same or different penalties, and/or conditions, as may be desired, requested or required, in the renewal, continuation, extension and/or substitution thereof; or the Indemnitors or Principals may request the Surety to refrain from canceling the Bonds; and

 

WHEREAS, at the request of the Indemnitors and with both the express understanding that this Agreement be given and in reliance upon this Agreement, the Surety has heretofore or has presently been requested to and/or has executed or has procured to be executed, and, from time to time hereafter, may be requested to and/or may execute or may procure to be executed, the Bonds, on behalf of the Principals; and

 

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

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Indemnitors and Principals 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 lndemnitors and Principals will pay to the Surety, promptly upon demand, all premiums, costs and charges of the Surety for any Bonds requested from and/or issued by the Surety in accordance with its rate filings, its manual of rates as determined by the Surety, or as otherwise determined by the Surety, and where such premium, costs and charges are annual, continue to pay the same until the Indemnitors or Principals shall deliver evidence satisfactory to the Surety of its discharge or release from the Bonds and all liability by reason thereof.

 

SECOND: INDEMNITY - The Indemnitors shall exonerate, hold harmless, 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 pre- and post-judgment interest at the maximum rate permitted by law accruing from the date of a breach of this Agreement or a breach of any other written agreements between or for the benefit of the Surety and the Indemnitor(s) and/or Principal(s) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Agreements”), court costs, counsel fees, accounting, engineering and any other outside consulting 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 Bond; or (2) by having executed or procured the execution of any Bond; or (3) by reason of the failure of the Indemnitors or Principals to perform or comply with any of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement or Other Agreements; or (4) in enforcing any of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement or Other Agreements. Payment by reason of the aforesaid causes shall be made to the Surety by the Indemnitors and/or Principals promptly, upon demand by the Surety, whether or not the Surety shall have made any payment therefor and, at the Surety’s sole option, irrespective of any deposit of collateral. If the Surety determines, in its sole judgment, that potential liability exists for losses and/or fees, costs and expenses for which the Indemnitors and Principals will be obliged to indemnify the Surety under the terms of this Agreement or Other Agreements, the Indemnitors and/or Principals shall deposit with the Surety, promptly upon demand, a sum of money equal to an amount determined by the Surety or collateral security of a type and value satisfactory to the Surety, to cover that liability, whether or not the Surety has: (a) established or increased any reserve; (b) made any payments; or (c) received any notice of any claims therefor. At the Surety’s sole option, such collateral shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other collateral that has been previously provided to the Surety. The Surety shall have the right to use any collateral, or any part thereof, in payment or settlement of any such liabilities for which the Indemnitors and Principals would be obliged to indemnify the Surety under the terms of this Agreement or Other Agreements. In the event of any payment by the Surety, the Indemnitors and Principals further agree that in any accounting between the Surety and the Principals, or between the Surety and the Indemnitors, or either or both of them, the Surety shall be entitled to charge for any and all disbursements made by it in good faith in and about the matters herein contemplated by this Agreement or Other Agreements under the belief that it is, or was, or might be liable for the sums and amounts so disbursed or that it was necessary or expedient to make such disbursements, whether or not such liability, necessity or expediency existed; and that the vouchers or other evidence of any such payments made by the Surety shall be prima facie evidence of the fact and amount of the liability to the Surety. Surety shall have no obligation to invest or provide a return on any collateral provided to it under this Agreement.

FOURTH: 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.
