the terms and conditions governing the Contract and the Bank shall not be released from its
liabilities under these presents by any exercise by the Employer of the liberty with reference to
matters aforesaid or by reason of time being given to the Contractor or any other forbearance
act or omission on the part of the Employer or any indulgence by the Employer to the Contractor
or of any other matter or thing whatsoever which under the law relating to guarantee would, but

4. The liability of the Bank to make payment to the Employer as stated hereinabove shall not be
discharged, released, affected or impaired in any way by reason of any one or more of the
following:
(a) Any dispute between the Employer and Contractor pending before any Court, Tribunal,

and shall continue to be in force notwithstanding the discharge of the Contractor by operation
of law and shall cease only on payment in full to the Employer by the Bank of the amount hereby
guaranteed and on the claims of the Employer against the Contractor or any account
whatsoever being satisfied or until (date) whichever is earlier.

notice when given by post, it shall be sufficient to prove that the envelope containing the notice
