On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act
establishes a short-term program under which the Federal
Government will share in the payment of covered losses caused
by certain acts of international terrorism. We are providing you
with this notice to inform you of the key features of the Act, and to
let you know what effect, if any, the Act will have on your premium.
Under the Act, insurers are required to provide coverage f
certain losses caused by international acts of terrorism as define
in the Act. The Act further provides that the Federal Governme
will pay a share of such losses. Specifically, the Feder
Government will pay 90% of the amount of covered losses cause
by certain acts of terrorism which is in excess of Traveler
statutorily established deductible for that year. The Act also cap
the amount of te rrorism- related losses for which the Feder
Government or an insurer can be responsible
$100,000,000,000.00, provided that the insurer has met i
deductible.
Please note that passage of the Act does not result in any changi
in coverage under the attached policy or bond (or the policy•
bond being quoted). Please also note that no separate addition
premium charge has been made for the terrorism coverag•
required by the Act. The premium charge that is allocable to suc
coverage is inseparable from and imbedded in your over
premium, and is no more than one percent of your premium.

G3
pass upon them with reasonable promptness, making desired corrections. The CONTRACTOR shall make any
corrections required by the ENGINEER, file with him two (2) corrected copies and furnish such other copies as may be
needed. The ENGINEER'S approval of such drawings or schedules shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from
responsibility for deviations from drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called the ENGINEER'S attention
to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any sort in shop
drawings or schedules. It shall be the CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to fully and completely review all shop drawings
to ascertain their effect on his ability to perform the required contract work in accordance with the plans and
specifications and within the contract time.
Such review by the ENGINEER shall be for the sole purpose of determining the sufficiency of said drawings
or schedules to result in finished improvements in conformity with the plans and specifications, and shall not relieve the
CONTRACTOR of his duty as an independent contractor as previously set forth, it being expressly understood and

to fully and properly perform the contract, including without limitations, the obligation to at once tear out, remove and
properly replace the same at any time prior to final acceptance upon the discovery of said defective work or material;
provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall, upon request of the CONTRACTOR, inspect and accept or reject any
material furnished, and in event the material has been once accepted by the ENGINEER, such acceptance shall be
binding on the OWNER, unless it can be clearly shown that such material furnished does not meet the specifications for
this work.
Any questioned work may be ordered taken up or removed for re-examination, by the ENGINEER, priorto final
acceptance, and if found not in accordance with the specifications for said work, all expense of removing, re-examination
and replacement shall be borne by the CONTRACTOR, otherwise the expense thus incurred shall be allowed as EXTRA
WORK, and shall be paid for by the OWNER; provided that, where inspection or approval is specifically required by
the specifications prior to performance of certain work, should the CONTRACTOR proceed with such work without
requesting prior. inspection or approval, he shall bear all expense of taking up, removing, and replacing this work if so
directed by the ENGINEER.
2.14 DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES. It is further agreed that if the work or any part thereof, or any
material brought on the site of the work for use in the work or selected for the same, shall be deemed by the ENGINEER

such changes and alterations as the OWNER may see fit, in the line, grade, form, dimensions, plans or materials, for the
work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after the beginning-oftheconstruction, without affecting
the validity of this contract and the accompanying Performance and Payment Bonds.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute -the basis
for a -claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with, except as provided for unit price
items under Section 5 "Measurement and Payment". If the amount of work is increased, and the work can fairly be
classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid for according to the quantity actually done and at the unit
price, if any, established for such work under this contract, except as provided for unit price items under Section 5
"Measurement and Payment", otherwise, such additional work shall be paid for as provided under Extra Work. In case
the OWNER shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any work already done or material already
furnished or used in said work, then the OWNER shall recompense the CONTRACTOR for any material or labor so
used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to actual expenses incurred in preparation for the work as
originally planned.

allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight only shall be
considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.
5.02 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. This agreement, including the specifications, plans and estimate, is
intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are
shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract, they are approximate
and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing the proposals offered
for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished under
W -i
this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for payment under this contract is the
unit price method, payment shall be for the actual amount of such work done and the material furnished.
Where payment is based on the unit price method, the CONTRACTOR agrees that he will make no claim for
damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any differences which may be found between the quantities of
work actually done, the material actually furnished under this contract and the estimated quantities contemplated and
contained in the proposal; provided, however, that in case the actual quantity of any major item should become as much
as 20% more than, or 20% less than the estimated or contemplated quantity for such items, then either party to this
Agreement, upon demand, shall be entitled to.a revised consideration upon the portion of the work above or below 20%
of the estimated quantity.
A "Major Item" shall be construed to be any individual bid item incurred in the proposal that has a total cost
equal to or greater than five (5) percent of the total contract cost, computed on the basis of the proposal quantities and
the contract unit prices.
Any revised consideration is to be determined by agreement between the parties, otherwise by the terms of this
Agreement, as provided under "Extra Work".
5.03 PRICE OF WORK In consideration ofthe furnishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material,

recommendation of the ENGINEER - pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage to the
CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR at the OWNER'S option, may be relieved of the obligation to fully complete
the work and, thereupon, the CONTRACTOR shall receive payment of the balance due him under the contract subject
only to the conditions stated under "Final Payment".
5.05 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS. The OWNER shall have the right to take possession of and use
any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work or
such portions may not have expired but such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work
not completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. if such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work,
the CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the ENGINEER may
determine.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER when, in the CONTRACTORS opinion, the contract is
°substantially completed" and when so notifying the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the ENGINEER
in writing a detailed list of unfinished work. The ENGINEER will review the CONTRACTOR'S list of unfinished work
and will add thereto such items as the CONTRACTOR has failed to include. The "substantial completion" of the
structure or facility shall not excuse the CONTRACTOR from performing all of the work undertaken, whether of a minor
or major nature, and thereby completing the structure or facility in accordance with the Contract Documents.
G-9
5.06 FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE. Within ten (10) days after the CONTRACTOR has
given the ENGINEER written notice that the work has been completed, or substantially completed, the ENGINEER and
the O WNER shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed
in accordance with the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER shall issue to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR his
Certificate of Acceptance of the work to the CONTRACTOR or to advise the CONTRACTOR in writing of the reason
for non-acceptance.
5.07 FINAL PAYMENT. Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the ENGINEER shall proceed
to make final measurements and prepare final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under
the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same to the OWNER, who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or after the
30th day, and before the 35th day, after the date of the Certificate of Completion, the balance due the CONTRACTOR
under the terms of this Agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this
contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the CONTRACTOR- Neither the
Certificate of Acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents, shall relieve the
CONTRACTOR of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required.
5.08 PAYMENTS WITHHELD. The OWNER may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence,
withhold or nullify the whole -or part of any certificate to such extent as may ben to protect himself from loss
on account of:
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the CONTRACTOR to make payments properly to subcontractors or for material or labor.
(d) , Damage to another contractor.
(e) Reasonable doubt that the work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the contract amount.
(f) Reasonable indication that the work will not be completed within the contract time.
When the above grounds are removed or the CONTRACTOR provides a Surety Bond satisfactory to the
OWNER, which will protect the OWNER in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because
of them.
5.09 DELAYED PAYMENTS. Should the OWNER fail to make payment to the CONTRACTOR of the sum
named in any partial or final statement, when payment is due, then the OWNER shall pay the CONTRACTOR, in
addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at the rate of six (6) percent per annum, unless
otherwise specified, from date due as provided under "Partial Payments" and "Final Payments", until fully paid, which
shall fully liquidate any injury to the CONTRACTOR growing out of such delay in payment, but the right is expressly
reserved to the CONTRACTOR in the event payments be not promptly made, as provided under "Partial Payments", to
at any time thereafter treat the contract as abandoned by the OWNER and recover compensation, as provided -under
"Abandonment of Contract", unless such payments are withheld in accordance with the provisions of "Payments
Withheld".
6.01 CHANGE ORDERS. Without invalidating this Agreement, the OWNER may, at any time or from time
to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the work; such changes will be authorized by Change Order to be
prepared by the ENGINEER for execution by the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR.. The Change Order shall set forth
the basis for any change in contract price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in contract time which
may result from the change.
In the event the CONTRACTOR shall refuse to execute a Change Order which has been prepared by the
ENGINEER and executed by the OWNER, the ENGINEERmay in writing instruct the CONTRACTOR to proceed with
the work as set forth in the Change Order and the CONTRACTORmay make claim against the OWNER for Extra Work
involved therein, as hereinafter provided.
G-10
6.02 NOR CHANGES. The ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the work not inconsistent with
the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in Contract Price. If the CONTRACTOR
believes that any minor change or alteration authorized by the ENGINEER involves Extra Work and entities him to an
increase in the Contract Price, the CONTRACTOR shall make written request to the ENGINEER for a written Field
Order.
In such case, the CONTRACTOR by copy of his communication to the ENGINEER or otherwise in writing
shall advise the OWNER of his request to the ENGINEER for a written Field Order and that the work involved may
result in an increase in the Contract Price.
Any request by the CONTRACTOR for a change in Contract Price shall be made prior to beginning the work
covered by the proposed change.
6.03 EXTRA WORK. It is agreed that the basis of compensation to the CONTRACTOR for work either
added or deleted by a Change Order or for which a claim for Extra Work is made shall be determined by one or more
of the following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) be agreed upon before the Extm Work is commenced,
then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "actual field cost" of the work, plus fifteen (15)
percent
In the event said Extra Work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost to the CONTRACTOR of all workman, such
as foreman, timekeepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily
incurred, together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, also all necessary incidental
expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits and other payroll
taxes, and, a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public
Liability and Property Damage and Workmen!s Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law
a
or ordinance, or directed by the OWNER, or by them agreed to. The ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts
of the "actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the ENGINEER- The
ENGINEER or OWNER may at-"- pecify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and
the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be determined by the
CONTRACTOR. Uniess otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be determined
by using 100 percent- unless otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by
the Associated General Contractors of America. Where practicable, the terms and prices for the use of machinery and
equipment shall be incorporated in the Written Extra Work Order. The fifteen (15%) percent of the "actual field cost"
to be paid the CONTRACTOR shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and
field office expense, and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "actual field cost" as herein
defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR'S Camp or Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such
Extra Work; then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the "actual field cost".
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by the ENGINEER. In case any
orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the CONTRACTOR to involve Extra Work for which he should
receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for
written order authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute
Extra Work, or as to the payment therefore, and the ENGINEER insists upon its performance, the CONTRACTOR shall
proceed with the work after making written request for written order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual
field cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C).
6.04 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or
adjustment presented by the CONTRACTOR shall be in writing and filed with the ENGINEER within thirty (30) days
after the ENGINEER has given any directions, order or instruction to which the CONTRACTOR desires to take
exception. The ENGINEER shall reply within thirty (30) days to such written exceptions by the CONTRACTOR and
render his final decision in writing. In case the CONTRACTOR should appeal from the ENGINEER'S decision, the
Contractor may file with the owner his objection. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the OWNER
and the acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment shall be a bar to any claims by either party, except where
noted otherwise in the Contract Documents.
7.01 ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon and fail to refuse
to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification for the OWNER, or the ENGINEER, of if the
CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER, when such orders are consistent with the Contract
Documents, then, and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist, the Sureties on these bonds shall be
notified in writing and directed to complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR -
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the CONTRACTOR shall not remove from the work any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and
equipment under contract from the work, may be held for use on the work by the OWNER or the Surety on the
performance bond, or another contractor in completion of the work; and the CONTRACTOR shall not receive any rental
or credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under
Section 6, Extra Work and Claims), it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately
reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement
Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with
the notice for completion herein before provided for, within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the OWNER
may provide for completion of the work in either of the following elective manners:
7.01.1 The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of men and use such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials and supplies as said OWNER may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor,
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be deducted
and paid by the OWNER out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the
CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have
been payable under this contract, if the same had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said CONTRACTOR
shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this
contract, if the same had been completed by said CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay
the amount of such excess to the OWNER; or
7.01.2 The OWNER under sealed bids, after five (5) days notim-published one or more times in a newspaper
having general circulation in the county of the location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work
under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case any increase in cost to
the OWNER under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase
shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. However, should the cost
to complete any such new contract prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this contract,
the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the CONTRACTOR and his Surety shall be so notified
and Certificates of Completion and Acceptance, as provided in Paragraph 5.06 hereinabove, shall be issued. A complete
itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by the ENGINEER as being correct, shall then be prepared and
delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety, whereupon the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety, or the OWNER, as
the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement, within fifteen (15) days after the date of such
Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would
have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this contract;
or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then all
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies 'left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the
CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety. -Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the
CONTRACTOR and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated hereinabove, and
there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with
an itemized list of such equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his Surety at the respective
addresses designated in this contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this
G-12
condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the risk of the CONTRACTOR
and his Surety subject only to the duty of the OWNER to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen
(15) days from the date of said notice the OWNER may sell such machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies and
apply the new sum derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his Surety. Such sale may be made
at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may elect. The OWNER shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies, which remain on the work and belong to persons other than the
CONTRACTOR or his Surety, to their proper owners. The books on all operations provided herein shall be open to the
CONTRACTOR and his Surety.
7.02 ABANDONMENT BY OWNER. In case the OWNER shall fail to comply with the terms of this
contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all
machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of work that have not been included in payments to the
CONTRACTOR and have not been wrought into the work. And thereupon the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of
the total amount earned by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed
by said CONTRACTOR (at the prices stated in the attached proposal where unit prices are used), the value of all partially
completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or
provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the
CONTRACTOR to carry the whole work to completion and which cannot be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make
a final statement of the balance due the CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments
by the OWNER and all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement and shall
certify same to the OWNER who shall pay to the CONTRACTOR on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the
notification by the CONTRACTOR the balance shown by said inial statement as due the CONTRACTOR, under the
terms of this Agreement.
