  How Surety Bonds Work
Thus if the surety asserts a defense based on representations by the indemnitors or the principals, and the defense ultimately is found to have been frivolous, the indemnitors would be required to reimburse the surety for any damages or sanctions sustained by the surety.
When the surety is advised of a claim or possible claim, the surety may establish a “reserve”-which is an account or fund with a sum sufficient to pay the estimated extent of the possible claim.
A surety has the right to defend itself by asserting all the defenses of its principal (e.g., the principal was actually not in default; was prevented from performing by defective specifications; or was not given contractually required cure notices, etc.), as well as asserting any defenses the surety may have under its performance bond.
