CONDITIONS:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies), are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) and Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally"only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us.

If no limit is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

The above obligation is void if the Principal promptly makes payment to all persons having a direct relationship with the Principal or a subcontractor of the Principal for furnishing labor, material or both in the prosecution of the work provided for in the contract identified above, and any authorized modifications of the contract that subsequently are made. Notice of those modifications to the Surety(ies) are waived.
