217.2 Standards of structure and information  
  The standard structure of a surety agreement shall be as follows:  
  (i) All the key and pertinent information that is unique to the contracts is provided in form design including signature and approval at the front;  
  (ii) Any modified clauses, new clauses (including new technical word definitions), list of deleted clauses and/or other special considerations that are different from the standard form of general contract immediately after the summary of key information;  
  (iii) The standard clauses (including definitions) of the primary form as the last attachment with any deleted clauses crossed out using a clear "x" through the body of the clause .  
  This structure shall allow the easiest method of contract interpretation, validation that it complies to the primary form and conversion to an electronic record.
