Exoneration of a bail bond simply means that the defendant has been adjudicated and the bail liability has been released from the bail bond agent.
When a bail bond is posted and a fee is charged by the bail agent that fee is non-refundable no matter if the charges are never filed, the defendant gets parole revoked and put back into custody, or the defendant is adjudicated.
