When bail is exonerated it means you or the bail bondsman gets their deposit back from the court clerk. When the defendant is exonerated, it means the charges are dropped and the defendant is no longer suspected of any wrongdoing. Last but not least, it is possible for bail exonerations to be denied.

In general, an exoneration occurs when a person who has been convicted of a crime is officially cleared after new evidence of innocence becomes available.
A bail bond is exonerated when the legal process/trial has finished. It does not matter whether the defendant is found guilty/innocent or if the case has been dismissed. At this point, the bail bond is discharged. However, any unpaid premium, fees or other amounts charged by the bail service provider are still owed.
Bonds are exonerated, or discharged, when the case against the defendant is over. In other words, there are no further court dates scheduled and the case is closed. It doesn't matter if the defendant is found guilty or innocent. When proceedings end, so do the defendant's financial obligations to the court.
Termination of the obligation of bail has become known as “exoneration.” Once the criminal case is resolved (criminal proceedings terminated or the surrender of the defendant into custody), the depositor or surety is relieved of their obligation and is entitled to return of the deposit.
