KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that we, the
undersigned Principals and the Surety, are held and firmly bound unto the
Bureau of Workers' Compensation of the Department of Labor and Industry of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the Bureau), for the use and benefit of each and
all employes of the Principal or, if the Principal is a group self­ insurance
fund, of the members of the Principal in the above stated Penal Sum for the
payment of which we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators,
successors and assigns, jointly and severally by these presents.

WHEREAS, in accordance with provisions of the
Workers' Compensation Act and The Pennsylvania Occupational Disease Act (Acts),
the Principal, having made application to the Bureau and having secured
approval of the Bureau to be exempted from insuring its liability or to operate
as a group self–insurance fund under the Acts (hereinafter referred to as
self-insurance), desires to file this bond as one of the conditions imposed
upon it by the Bureau for the privilege of self-insurance:

NOW, THEREFORE, the conditions of the
obligations under this bond are such that if the Principal shall well and truly
discharge promptly all of its obligations under the Acts pursuant to the terms
and provisions thereof and of the rules and regulations issued thereunder and
the agreement and undertaking executed by the Principal as a self-insurer, then
the obligations under this bond shall be null and void; otherwise, the
obligations under this bond will remain in full force and effect, subject to
the following express conditions:

	
  1.
  	
  In the event of default or failure of the
  Principal to pay compensation under the Acts, including without limitation,
  payments for wage replacement, burial expenses, medical expenses, or any
  other payment provided for under the Acts, the surety shall, upon receipt of
  due demand notice of the Bureau, discharge promptly
  and pay all or any part of the compensation obligations of the Principal as
  are in default to the extent of the Penal Sum and shall thereafter assume and
  pay the compensation liability incurred by the Principal until such time as
  the Principal is able to resume, to the satisfaction of the Bureau, payments
  of such compensation as shall become due and payable. In the event of a
  demand pursuant to this paragraph, compensation payments shall commence
  within 30 days following the receipt of the demand and shall thereafter be
  made in the same manner as the Principal would be required under the Acts to
  make such payments. Such compensation payments made by the surety will be
  credited against the Penal Sum of this bond. The Surety shall administer or
  arrange for the administration of all claims and shall be responsible for all
  administrative and legal costs necessary to discharge its obligation under this
  bond. Administrative and legal costs incurred by the Surety in discharging
  its obligations under this bond shall not be charged against the Penal Sum of
  this bond until those costs exceed 10% of the Penal Sum in force at the time
  of default. After the administrative and legal costs incurred by the Surety
  exceed 10% of the Penal Sum in force at the time of default, those costs
  shall be credited against the Penal Sum of this bond.

  
	
  2.
  	
  Pursuant to section 904 of the Workers'
  Compensation Act, the Bureau may, at any time, make written demand upon the
  Surety to pay to the Bureau for deposit into the Self-Insurance Guaranty Fund
  the entire Penal Sum of the bond that remains unpaid upon the Bureau's
  determination that the liabilities of the Principal will exceed the security
  posted by the Principal. Payment of the full amount demanded pursuant to this
  paragraph shall be received by the Bureau within 30 days following the
  receipt of such demand by the Surety.

  
	
  3.
  	
  The obligations of this surety bond shall
  cover and extend to all past, present, existing, and potential liability of
  the Principal incurred as a self-insurer to the extent of the Penal Sum of
  the bond without regard to specific injuries or exposures, date or dates of
  injury or exposure, happenings or events.

  
	
  4.
  	
  This is a continuous bond and shall remain in
  full force and effect unless terminated in the manner hereinafter provided.
  If the bond is terminated, the Surety will remain liable under the provisions
  of this bond for all obligations of the Principal under the Acts which result
  from injuries or diseases that occur prior to the effective date of the
  termination. The Surety shall be released from its liability and the
  liability shall be extinguished if the Principal provides replacement
  security acceptable to the Bureau under its rules and regulations for payment
  of the obligations covered by this bond. Under such condition, the Bureau
  will notify the Surety in writing of its release from its liability under
  this bond.

  
	
  5.
  	
  The Surety may terminate this bond by giving
  the Bureau written notice of such intention and when the termination will be
  effective, which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days following the
  giving of such notice to the Bureau by registered or certified mail. This
  bond shall also automatically terminate upon the termination or revocation of
  the Principal's privilege of self-insurance.

  
	
  6.
  	
  In the event of change in the legal entity,
  ownership or name of the Principal or Surety, the Principal or Surety shall,
  within ten (10) days, notify the Bureau and the other party in writing of
  such change. This bond shall be amended to reflect such change by a rider
  which shall be attached to the original bond.

  
	
  7.
  	
  The Penal Sum of this bond may be increased or
  decreased, subject to the written approval of the Bureau, by a rider to be
  made a part hereof, executed by the Principal and the Surety. In the event
  that the Penal Sum of this bond is increased or decreased by rider, the
  Surety shall be liable hereunder to the extent of such increased or decreased
  amount, as the case may be, with respect to all of the obligations of this
  surety bond just as if the bond had been originally issued in the increased
  or decreased amount.

  
	
  8.
  	
  The total of all payments by the Surety for
  all obligations hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Penal Sum
  set forth herein and in the event of any change of such sum, such aggregate
  liability shall not exceed the Penal Sum in force at the time of the
  termination of this bond.

  
	
  9.
  	
  An entity which is an affiliate of the
  Principal may be added as a Principal under this bond, subject to the written
  approval of the Bureau, by a rider to be made a part hereof, specifying the
  effective date of such inclusion, executed by the Surety and the
  Principal(s). An affiliate may be terminated as a Principal by a rider to
  made a part hereof, specifying the effective date of such termination. In the
  event that an affiliate is terminated as a Principal by rider, the Surety
  shall be liable for any obligations incurred under the Acts by such affiliate
  as a self-insurer prior to the effective date of such termination unless the
  Surety is relieved of this liability by the Bureau in writing. The inclusion
  or termination of a Principal under this bond by rider shall not affect the Penal
  Sum of the bond unless an increase or decrease rider is specifically
  executed.

  
	
  10.
  	
  The insolvency, bankruptcy, including a total
  or partial discharge of the Principal's workers' compensation obligations, or
  receivership of the Principal, shall not relieve the Surety of its
  obligations under this bond.

  
	
  11.
  	
  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve the
  Principal of any liability arising under the Acts or under the rules and
  regulations issued pursuant to the said Acts or the agreement and undertaking.

  
	
  12.
  	
  This bond shall be governed by and interpreted
  under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any action with respect
  to this bond shall be brought in a Pennsylvania court and the parties consent
  to the Pennsylvania court's personal jurisdiction over them in that action.
  If any part or provision of this bond shall be declared unenforceable or
  invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination in no way
  shall affect the validity or enforceability of the other parts or provisions
  of this bond.
  

IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the Principal and the Surety have caused this bond to be executed and
aftested in their names by their duly constituted officers and their official
seals affixed to this bond.
