contrary notwithstanding, to the following provisions:
A. To consent without notice to any extension of time authorized in approved change
orders to the Contractor in which to perform the Contract;
B. To consent without notice to any change in the Contract or Contract Documents,

Page 3 of 4
The Contractor and every Surety on the Bond shall be deemed and held bound, any contract to the
contrary notwithstanding, to the following provisions:
D. That no provision of this Bond or of any other contract shall be valid that limits to less
than five (5) years after the acceptance of the work under the Contract the right to sue
on this Bond.
E. That as used herein, the phrase "all outlay and expense" is not to be limited in any
way, but shall include the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Owner including interest, benefits, and overhead where applicable. Accordingly, "all
outlay and expense" would include but not be limited to all contract or employee
expense, all 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.
In the event the Owner incurs any "outlay and expense" in defending itself against any claim as to
which the Contractor or Surety should have provided the defense, or in the enforcement of the
promises given by the Contractor in the Contract, Contract Documents, or approved change
orders, or in the enforcement of the promises given by the Contractor and Surety in this Bond, the
Contractor and Surety agree that they will make the Owner whole for all such outlay and expense,
provided that the Surety's obligation under this Bond shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the penal sum of this Bond.
In the event that any actions or proceedings are initiated regarding this Bond, the parties agree that
the venue thereof shall be Dubuque County, State of Iowa. If legal action is required by the Owner
to enforce the provisions of this Bond or to collect the monetary obligation incurring to the benefit of
the Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, jointly, and severally, to pay the Owner all outlay
and expense incurred therefor by the Owner. All rights, powers, and remedies of the Owner
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.
