WHEREAS, Principal is an H-2A Labor Contractor and has submitted an Application for Temporary Employment Certification (“Application”)

with said Application a bond in the amount specified in § 655.132(c)(2).
NOW THEREFORE, The condition of this obligation is that Principal will pay to the Administrator any sums for wages and benefits, including any

rejected or improperly laid off or displaced for a violation or violations of 20 CFR part 655, subpart B, or 29 CFR part 501. Upon a final decision
finding such violation or violations relating to the Certification this bond is intended to cover, the Administrator may make a written demand on the
