WHEREAS, this bond is being entered into to satisfy the requirements of Section 255.05(l),
Florida Statutes and the Contract referenced above, as the same may be amended, and

1. CONTRACT INCORPORATED; SURETY AND PRINCIPAL BOUND FOR FULL

The Surety and the Principal are bound for the full performance of the Contract including
without exception all of the Contract Documents (as defined in the Contract) and all of their

obligations under the Contract and this bond, the Principal and Surety agree:

B. Pay OWNER all losses, damages, delay damages (liquidated or actual), expenses, costs
and attorneys' fees under sections 627.428 or 627.756, Florida Statutes, including costs
and attorney's fees on appeal that OWNER sustains resulting directly or indirectly from
any breach or default by Principal under the Contract, and
C. Satisfy all claims and demands incurred under the Contract, and fully indemnify and hold
harmless the OWNER from all costs and damages which it may suffer by reason or
failure to do so.
2. OWNER'S AFFIDAVIT OF CONTRACTOR BREACH OR DEFAULT. If the
OWNER shall provide to Surety the written affidavit of the OWNER stating that the
Principal is in breach or default of the Contract, and that such breach or default remains
uncured by the Principal, then upon delivery of such affidavit to the Surety in the method for
providing notices as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, Surety must promptly notify the
OWNER in writing which action it will take as permitted in Paragraph 3.
3. SURETY'S OBLIGATION UPON DELIVERY OF OWNER'S AFFIDAVIT OF
CONTRACTOR'S BREACH OR DEFAULT. Upon the delivery of the OWNER's
affidavit of breach or default by the Principal as provided in Paragraph 2 above, the Surety
may promptly remedy the breach or default or must, within ten (10) days, proceed to take one
of the following courses of action:
A. Proceed Itself. Complete performance of the Contract including correction of defective
and nonconforming Work through its own CONTRACTORS or employees, approved as
being acceptable to the OWNER, in the OWNER's sole discretion, provided, however,
that OWNER's discretion in approving the Surety's CONTRACTOR will not be
unreasonably withheld as to any CONTRACTOR who would have qualified to offer a
proposal on the Contract and is not affiliated in any way with the Principal. During this
performance by the Surety, the OWNER will pay the Surety from its own funds only
those sums as would have been due and payable to the Principal under the Contract as
and when they would have been due and payable to the Principal in the absence of the
breach or default not to exceed the amount of the remaining Contract balance less any
sums due the OWNER under the Contract. During this performance by Surety, any
payment bond required under the Contract must remain in full force and effect; or

offer a proposal on the contract and is not affiliated with the Principal. OWNER's
discretion to approve CONTRACTOR as the completing CONTRACTOR and to approve
the tendered contract shall be in OWNER's sole and absolute discretion. Upon execution
by the OWNER of the contract for fulfillment and completion of the Contract, the

completing CONTRACTOR must furnish to the OWNER a performance bond and a
separate payment bond, each in the form of those bonds previously furnished to the
OWNER for the Project by the Principal. Each such bond must be in the Penal Sum of
the full cost to complete the Contract. The OWNER will pay the completing
CONTRACTOR from its own funds only those sums as would have been due and
payable to the Principal under the Contract as and when they would have been due and
payable to the Principal in the absence of the breach or default not to exceed the amount
of the remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER under the Contract. To
the extent that the OWNER is obligated to pay the completing CONTRACTOR sums
which would not have been due and payable to CONTRACTOR under the Contract (any
sums in excess of the then remaining Contract balance less any sums due the OWNER
under the Contract), the Surety must pay the OWNER the full amount of those sums at
the time the completing CONTRACTOR tenders an invoice to the OWNER so that the
OWNER can utilize those sums in making timely payment to the completing
CONTRACTOR; or
C. Tender the Full Penal Sum. Tender to the OWNER the full Penal Sum of the
performance bond. The OWNER will refund to the Surety without interest any unused
portion not spent by the OWNER procuring and paying a completing CONTRACTOR or
completing the Contract itself, plus the cost allowed under Section 4, after completion of
the contract for fulfillment and completion of the Contract and the expiration of any
applicable warranties; or
D. Other Acts. Take any other acts mutually agreed upon in writing by the OWNER and
the Surety.
E. IT SHALL BE NO DEFENSE TO SURETY'S OBLIGATION TO UNDERTAKE
ONE OF THE PRECEDING COURSES OF ACTION THAT THE PRINCIPAL
CONTENDS THAT IT IS NOT IN BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THE
CONTRACT, OR THAT THE NOTICE OF BREACH OR DEFAULT WAS
DEFECTIVE, OR THAT THE PRINCIPAL HAS RAISED ANY OTHER CLAIM
OF DEFENSE OR OFFSET, PROVIDED ONLY THAT THE SURETY HAS
RECEIVED THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE OWNER AS SPECIFIED IN
PARAGRAPH 2.

above, the Surety must promptly pay the OWNER (i) all losses, costs and expenses resulting
from the Principal's breach(es) or default(s), including, without limitation, fees (including
