E. That as used herein, the phrase 'all outlay and expense" is not to be limited in any way,

equipment usage or rental, materials, testing, outside experts, attorney's fees (including
overhead expenses of the Owner's staff attorneys), and all costs and expenses of litigation
as they are incurred by the Owner. It is intended the Contractor and Surety will defend and
indemnify the Owner on all claims made against the Owner on account of Contractor's
failure to perform as required in the Contract and Contract Documents, that all agreements
and promises set forth in the Contract and Contract Documents, in approved change
orders, and in this Bond will be fulfilled, and that the Owner will be fully indemnified so that
it will be put into the position it would have been in had the Contract been performed in the
first instance as required.

hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and
remedies given to the Owner, by law. The Owner may proceed against surety for any amount
guaranteed hereunder whether action is brought against the Contractor or whether Contractor is
joined in any such action(s) or not.
NOW THEREFORE, the condition of this obligation is such that if said Principal shall faithfully perform
all the promises of the Principal, as set forth and provided in the Contract, in the Contract Documents,
and in this Bond, then this obligation shall be null and void, otherwise it shall remain in full force and
effect.
When a work, term, or phrase is used in this Bond, it shall be interpreted or construed first as defined
in this Bond, the Contract, or the Contract Documents; second, if not defined in the Bond, Contract,
or Contract Documents, it shall be interpreted or construed as defined in applicable provisions of the
Iowa Code; third, if not defined in the Iowa Code, it shall be interpreted or construed according to its
generally accepted meaning in the construction industry; and fourth, if it has no generally accepted
meaning in the construction industry, it shall be interpreted or construed according to its common or
customary usage.
Failure to specify or particularize shall not exclude terms or provisions not mentioned and shall not
limit liability hereunder. The Contract and Contract Documents are hereby made a part of this Bond.
