WHEREAS, the principal has used, and/or intends to use from time to time pursuant to the provisions of 26 U.S.C. 5111, distilled spirits on which all

WHEREAS, the principal has filed and/or intends to file monthly a claim for allowance of drawback on such distilled spirits pursuant to said laws and
regulations, with the authorized official of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau; and
WHEREAS, it is intended by this bond in the event of failure by the principal to satisfy the authorized official of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau that the tax on the distilled spirits on which drawback was claimed was paid or determined and the distilled spirits were used in accordance with laws and regulations in the manufacture or production of medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or
perfume unfit for beverage purposes, and a claim for allowance of drawback on such distilled spirits has been paid, the obligors must refund to the
United States an amount equal to the amount of the drawback so allowed and paid.
NOW, THEREFORE, the conditions of this bond are such that if the principal‑
1. Complies with the provisions of 26 U.S.C. 5111 - 5114 and regulations issued pursuant thereto now or hereafter in force respecting the use of

with the bond an authenticated copy of the power of attorney, or
