substitutions for, additions to or deletions of any Work; (b) changes in schedule;

makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the County may, by depositing written notice
to the Contractor in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, terminate the Agreement, and at the
County's option, obtain performance of the work elsewhere. If the Agreement is terminated
for default, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under the
Agreement until all work called for has been fully performed. Any extra cost or damage to the
County resulting from such default(s) shall be deducted from any money due or coming due
to the Contractor. The Contractor shall bear any extra expenses incurred by the County in
completing the work, and all damage sustained, or which may be sustained by the County by
reason of such default.

made, but such adjustment shall not include provision for loss of anticipated profit on deleted
or uncompleted work. Termination of this Agreement by the County at any time during the
term, whether for default or convenience, shall not constitute a breach of contract by the
County.

Additional Insureds, appointed and elective officers, agents and employees, from and against
all loss or expense, including but not limited to judgments, settlements, attorney's fees and

its elected or appointed officials, agents, or employees for damages because of personal or
bodily injury, including death at any time resulting therefrom, sustained by any person or
persons and on account of damage to property including loss of use thereof, whether such
injury to persons or damage to property is due to the negligence of the Contractor, its sub-
Contractors, its elected officers, employees or their agents, except only such injury or damage
as shall have been occasioned by the sole negligence of the County, its Additional Insureds,
appointed or elected officials, agents, or employees. It is further provided that no liability shall
