without limitation, all obligations with respect to warranties, guarantees and the payment of Liquidated
Damages. The term "balance of the Contract Price," as used in this paragraph, shall mean the total amount
payable to Principal by the Obligee under the Contract and any modifications thereto, less the amount
previously paid by the Obligee to the Principal, less any withholdings by the Obligee allowed under the
Contract. Obligee shall not be required or obligated to accept a tender of a completion contractor from the
Surety.
Surety expressly agrees that the Obligee may reject any agent or contractor which may be
proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Principal. Unless otherwise
agreed by Obligee, in its sole discretion, Surety shall not utilize Principal in completing the Contract nor
shall Surety accept a bid from Principal for completion of the work in the event of default by the Principal.
No final settlement between the Obligee and the Contractor shall abridge the right of any
beneficiary hereunder, whose claim may be unsatisfied.
The Surety shall remain responsible and liable for all patent and latent defects that arise out of or
relate to the Contractor's failure and/or inability to properly complete the Public Work as required by the
Contract and the Contract Documents. The obligation of the Surety hereunder shall continue so long as
any obligation of the Contractor remains.
Contractor and Surety agree that if the Obligee is required to engage the services of an attorney in
connection with enforcement of the bond, Contractor and Surety shall pay Obligee's reasonable attorneys'
fees incurred, with or without suit, in addition to the above sum.
In the event suit is brought upon this bond by the Obligee and judgment is recovered, the Surety
shall pay all costs incurred by the Obligee in such suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by
the Court.
