  1 .
  	
  That all the terms, provisions, conditions
  and agreements herein contained shall be jointly and severally binding and
  obligatory upon the Undersigned with respect to any such Bond or Bonds
  heretofore or hereafter executed by the Surety for the Undersigned or its
  nominee, which Bond or Bonds shall be deemed to have been executed by the
  Surety at the request, in each instance, of the Undersigned.

  
	
  2.
  	
  To pay or cause to be paid to the Surety
  upon the execution of each such Bond a premium and to pay or cause to be paid
  in advance all subsequent premiums until all liability under each such Bond
  shall have terminated and until the Surety shall have received satisfactory
  evidence of such termination.

  
	
  3.
  	
  That the Undersigned will perform all the
  obligations of any such Bond or Bonds and will at all times exonerate, indemnify
  and keep indernnified the Surety from and against any and all liability,
  loss, costs, damages, expenses, counsel and attorney's fees, claims, demands,
  suits, judgments, orders and adjudications that the Surety shall or may for
  any cause at any time sustain, incur or become subject to by reason of
  executing any such Bond or Bonds, or by reason of obtaining or seeking to
  obtain a release therefrom or in enforcing any of the agreements herein
  contained.

  
	
  4.
  	
  That the Surety is hereby authorized, but
  not required, to make or consent to any change of any kind whatsoever in any
  such Bond or Bonds whether given in connection with a contract or otherwise,
  without notice to or consent by the Undersigned.

  
	
  5.
  	
  That in the event of claim or suit against

  place the Surety in current funds sufficient to indemnify the Surety up to
  the full amount claimed or for which suit is brought.

  
	
  6.
  	
  That in any action brought against the
  Undersigned alone, the outcome of which might affect the liability of the
  Surety or in any action in which both the Undersigned and Surety are parties,
  notwithstanding the fact that the Undersigned may have engaged counsel to
  represent him/her, them or it (as the case may be) and the Surety, or either
  of them, the Surety shall have the right to retain its own counsel if in its
  sole opinion the protection of its interests require it to do so, and the
  costs, expenses, counsel and attorneys' fees incurred or sustained thereby shall
  be a liability of the Undersigned hereunder.

  
	
  7.
  	
  That the Surety shall have the right to
  pay, adjust, settle or compromise any liability, loss, costs, expenses,
  counsel and attorneys' fees, claims, demands, suits, judgments, orders and
  adjudications upon or under any such Bond or Bonds and in such event an
  itemized statement thereof, sworn to by an officer or officers of the Surety,
  or the voucher or vouchers or other evidence of such payment, adjustment,
  settlement, or compromise, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and
  extent of the liability of the Undersigned hereunder, provided such payment,
  adjustment, settlement, or compromise shall have been made by the Surety in
  good faith, believing itself liable therefor, whether liable or not.

  
	
  8.
  	
  That this Agreement shall, in all its terms
  and agreements be for the benefit of and protect any surety or sureties
  joining with the Surety in executing any such Bond or Bonds, or executing at
  the request of the Surety and such Bond or Bonds, as well as any surety or
  sureties assuming reinsurance thereupon.

  
	
  9.
  	
  The Undersigned will, on request of Surety,
  procure the discharge of Surety from any Bond(s) and all liability by reason
  thereof. If such discharge is unattainable, the Undersigned will, if
  requested by Surety, either deposit collateral with Surety, acceptable to
  Surety, sufficient to cover all exposure under such Bond(s), or make
  provision acceptable to Surety for the funding of the bonded obligation(s)

  
	
  10.
  	
  That separate suits may be brought hereunder
  as causes of action accrue, and the bringing of suit or recovery of judgment
  upon any cause of action shall not bar the bringing of other suits upon other
  causes of action whether theretofore or thereafter arising.

  
	
  11.
  	
  That the failure of the Surety to insist
  upon strict compliance with any of the terms hereof shall not be considered
  to be a waiver of any such terms, nor shall it harm the rights of the Surety
  to insist upon strict compliance herewith at any time thereafter whether in
  connection with the same or any other Bond or Bonds executed in reliance
  hereon.

  
	
  12.
  	
  That the taking by the Surety from the
  Undersigned of a specific indemnity agreement or agreements in connection
  with a Bond or Bonds executed for any Undersigned shall in no way affect the
  operation of this General Indemnity Agreement as to Bonds theretofore or
  thereafter executed.

  
	
  13.
  	
  That if any provision of this Agreement
  shall be contrary to the laws of any State in which the same shall be sought
  to be enforced, the illegality or unenforceability of any such provision
  shall not affect the other terms, covenants and conditions hereof, and the
  same shall be binding upon the Undersigned with the same force and effect as
  though the illegal or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

  
	
  14.
  	
  Surety shall have the right to decline to
  execute any Bond(s).
  
			

By
executing this agreement you are bound to Surety with respect to all Bonds

Agreement.

          (b) Surety shall have the right at its option
and in its sole discretion, to issue, cancel or decline the execution of any
Bond, or renewal thereof, notwithstanding its execution of any other Bond or
undertaking for or on behalf of the Principal.

remedy which a personal Surety without compensation would have, including the

Undersigned warrant that each of them is specifically and beneficially
interested in obtaining each Bond and agree to pay the initial,
renewal, and additional premiums thereon according to Surety's current rate
manual or rate filings recognizing that the initial premium is fully earned
upon execution of each Bond. Renewal premiums shall be paid until Undersigned
shall serve evidence satisfactory to Surety of its discharge or release from
each Bond and all liability arising out of or relating thereto.

          (g) Surety is not a fiduciary and owes no
fiduciary obligations to Undersigned.

          (h) Undersigned agree to submit themselves to
personal jurisdiction in whatever jurisdiction in which Surety sustains or pays

jurisdiction Surety may be Sued as a consequence of its having issued any Bond.

jurisdiction in which one or more of the Undersigned reside, are domiciled, are
doing business or are found, each of the Undersigned who are not in the
jurisdiction hereby designates each of the Undersigned in such jurisdiction as
his agent to receive on his behalf service of process in such action.

          (i) Interest shall be paid by Undersigned to
Surety on the amount of all expenditures made by Surety for which it is

number of days elapsed. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations , Undersigned hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt any such
payment by Surety would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to Surety

providing assurances to obligees under the Bonds concerning performance or
fulfillment of certain contractual, statutory or other undertakings by the
Principal, all as described in more detail in each individual Bond. This
agreement is intended to cover the full range of different types of Bonds which
might be issued by Surety, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
limit the types of Bonds covered by this Agreement. To the extent that
particular provisions of this Agreement are applicable only to certain types of
Bonds, the inclusion of such provisions in this Agreement is for the purpose of
specifying in more detail the parties' rights and obligations with respect to
such types of Bonds and their inclusion shall not limit the applicability of
other provisions of this Agreement to other types of Bonds.

          (k) Undersigned agree that Surety need not
give to Undersigned notice of
execution of any Bond, of any Default, the making of any claim against Surety,
or of any act, fact or information coming to
the notice or knowledge of Surety concerning or affecting its rights
or liabilities under any Bond or the rights or liabilities of Undersigned
hereunder, notice of all such being hereby expressly waived.

          (1) Each of the Undersigned further affirms
that Bonds are a credit relationship and hereby authorizes Surety, or any
authorized agent, to gather such credit information it considers necessary and
appropriate for purposes of evaluating whether such credit should be effected
or continued, for purposes of enforcing or evaluating the possible enforcement
of this Agreement or for any other purpose.

          (m) If the execution of this Agreement by any
of the Undersigned shall, be found defective or invalid for any reason, such
defect or invalidity shall not affect the validity of this Agreement with
respect to any other of the Undersigned. In the event any of the Undersigned
shall fail to execute this instrument or become insolvent, or in the event any
of the Undersigned who execute this Agreement, shall not be bound for any
reason, the other Undersigned shall, nevertheless, be bound hereunder for the full
amount of the liability as aforesaid. The invalidity of any provision of this
Agreement by reason of the law of any state or for any other reason shall not

shall remain fully bound and liable hereunder to Surety to the same extent as
if the invalid provision had not existed.

          (n) Liability of Undersigned hereunder shall
not be affected by

          (i)       the failure of Principal to sign any
Bond;

          (ii)      any claim that other indemnity or security
was to have been obtained,

          (iii)     the release of any indemnity, and

          (iv)     the return or exchange of any collateral
that may have been obtained.

          (o) The obligations of Undersigned are joint
and several. Surety need not proceed against Principal or any of the
Undersigned, or any third party, or exhaust or avail itself of any other legal
remedy or of any collateral.

          (p) Undersigned agree to give Surety prompt
notice of any facts which might give rise to a claim upon any Bond.

          (q) This Agreement may not be changed or
modified orally. No change or modification shall be effective unless

blanks left herein and to correct any errors by filling in any blanks herein.

with Principal's performance of a contract, Principal hereby assigns the
proceeds of, and its rights in, such contract to Surety, but only in the event
of a default of the Principal under such contract or default of Undersigned
hereunder. In connection with said assignrnent this Agreement shall constitute
and Surety may file or record this Agreement as a security agreement and/or
financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law. The
filing or recording of such document shall be solely at the option of Surety
and the failure to do so shall not release or impair any of the obligations of
Undersigned under this Agreement. Any copy of this Agreement certified as such
by Surety shall be considered an original for purposes of filing as a financing
statement.

          (s) Failure by Surety to take any action or
assert any right hereunder shall not be a waiver of any Surety rights hereunder
or as provided by law.

          (t) The rights of Surety under this Agreement
are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights the Surety may have with
respect to Undersigned by contract or operation of law.
