Where a Contracting Party expropriates the assets of a company which is incorporated or constituted under the law in force in any part of its own territory, and in which investors of the other Contracting Party own shares, it shall ensure that the provisions of this Article are applied so as to guarantee prompt, adequate and effective compensation in respect of their investment to such investors of the other Contracting Party who are owners of those shares.
SUB-CONTRACTS (a) The Administrator may sub-contract or delegate the performance of all or any of its powers and obligations under this Agreement, provided that (but subject to Clause 3.2(b) herein): (i) the prior written consent of the Mortgages Trustee and Funding to the proposed arrangement (including, if Funding considers it necessary after consulting with the Security Trustee, approving any contract which sets out the terms on which such arrangements are to be made) has been obtained, the Security Trustee has been consulted and notification has been given to each of the Rating Agencies; (ii) where the arrangements involve the custody or control of any Mortgage Loan Files and/or Title Deeds relating to the Mortgage Portfolio for the purpose of performing any delegated Services, the sub-contractor or delegate has executed an acknowledgement in writing acceptable to Funding and the Security Trustee to the effect that any such Mortgage Loan Files and/or Title Deeds are and will be held to the order of the Mortgages Trustee (as trustee for the Beneficiaries); (iii) where the arrangements involve or may involve the receipt by the sub-contractor or delegate of monies belonging to the Beneficiaries which, in accordance with this Agreement, are to be paid into the relevant Collection Account, the sub-contractor or delegate has executed a declaration in writing acceptable to the Beneficiaries that any such monies held by it or to its order are held on trust for the Beneficiaries and will be paid forthwith into the relevant Collection Account in accordance with the terms of the Mortgages Trust Deed; (iv) any such sub-contractor or delegate has executed a written waiver of any Security Interest arising in connection with such delegated Services (to the extent that such Security Interest relates to the Mortgage Portfolio or any amount referred to in (iii) above); and (v) neither the Mortgages Trustee, the Security Trustee nor the Beneficiaries shall have any liability for any costs, charges or expenses payable to or incurred by such sub-contractor or delegate or arising from the entering into, the continuance or the termination of any such arrangement. (b) The provisos to Clause 3.2(a) (i), (ii) and (iii) herein shall not apply: (i) to the engagement by the Administrator of: (1) any receiver, solicitor, insurance broker, valuer, surveyor, accountant, estate agent, insolvency practitioner, auctioneer, bailiff, debt counsellor, tracing agent, property management agent, licensed or qualified conveyancer or other professional adviser acting as such; or (2) any locksmith, builder or other contractor acting as such in relation to a Mortgaged Property, in any such case being a person or persons whom the Administrator would be willing to appoint in respect of its own mortgages in connection with the performance by the Administrator of any of its obligations or functions or in connection with the exercise of its powers under this Agreement; or (ii) to any delegation to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller from time to time. (c) The Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding and the Security Trustee may require the Administrator to assign to the Mortgages Trustee any rights which the Administrator may have against any sub-contractor or delegate arising from the performance of services by such person in association with any matter contemplated by this Agreement and the Administrator acknowledges that such rights assigned to the Mortgages Trustee will be exercised by the Mortgages Trustee as trustee for the Beneficiaries subject to the terms of the Mortgages Trust Deed. (d) Notwithstanding any sub-contracting or delegation of the performance of the Administrator's obligations under this Agreement: (i) the Administrator shall not thereby be released or discharged from any liability hereunder; (ii) the Administrator shall remain responsible for the performance of the obligations of the Administrator under this Agreement; (iii) the performance or non-performance or the manner of performance of any sub-contractor or delegate of any of the Services shall not affect the Administrator's obligations under this Agreement; (iv) any breach in the performance of the Services by any sub-contractor or delegate shall, subject to the Administrator being entitled for a period of twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of notice of the breach to remedy such breach by any sub-contractor or delegate, be treated as a breach of this Agreement by the Administrator; and (v) the Security Trustee shall have no liability for any act or omission of the sub-contractor or delegate and shall have no responsibility for monitoring or investigating the suitability of any such sub-contractor or delegate.
SUB-CONTRACTING 31.1. The Authority approves the appointment of the sub-contractors specified in Schedule 10 (Approved Sub-contractors) in respect of the obligations specified in that Schedule. 31.2. The Contractor may not sub-contract its obligations under the Framework Agreement to other sub-contractors without the prior written consent of the Authority. Sub-contracting of any part of the Framework Agreement shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligation or duty attributable to the Contractor under the Framework Agreement. The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-contractors as though they are its own. 31.3. Where the Contractor enters into a sub-contract the Contractor must ensure that a provision is included which: 31.3.1. requires payment to be made of all sums due by the Contractor to the sub- contractor within a specified period not exceeding 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice as defined by the sub-contract requirements and provides that, where the Authority has made payment to the Contractor in respect of Services and the sub-contractor’s invoice relates to such Services then, to that extent, the invoice must be treated as valid and, provided the Contractor is not exercising a right of retention or set-off in respect of a breach of contract by the sub-contractor or in respect of a sum otherwise due by the sub-contractor to the Contractor, payment must be made to the sub-contractor without deduction; 31.3.2. notifies the sub-contractor that the sub-contract forms part of a larger contract for the benefit of the Authority and that should the sub-contractor have any difficulty in securing the timely payment of an invoice, that matter may be referred by the sub- contractor to the Authority; 31.3.3. requires that all contracts with subcontractors and suppliers which the subcontractor intends to procure, and which the subcontractor has not before the date of this Framework Agreement, already planned to award to a particular supplier are advertised through the Public Contracts Scotland procurement portal (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx) and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract; and 31.3.4. is in the same terms as that set out in this clause 31.3 (including for the avoidance of doubt this clause 31.3.4) subject only to modification to refer to the correct designation of the equivalent party as the Contractor and sub-contractor as the case may be. 31.4. The Contractor shall include in every sub-contract: 31.4.1 a right for the Contractor to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 42.4 occur; and 31.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 31.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards. In this Clause 31.4, ‘sub-contract’ means any contract between two or more contractors, at any stage of remoteness from the Authority in a sub-contracting chain, made wholly or substantially for the purpose of performing (or contributing to the performanace of) the whole or any part of this Framework Agreement. 31.5. Where requested by the Authority, copies of any sub-contract must be sent by the Contractor to the Authority as soon as reasonably practicable. 31.6. Where the Contractor proposes to enter into a sub-contract it must: 31.6.1 advertise its intention to do so in at least one trade journal, and the Public Contracts Scotland Portal; and 31.6.2 follow a procedure leading to the selection of the sub-contractor which ensures reasonable competition following principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination and transparency and which ensures that such procedure is accessible by small and medium enterprises.

SHAM CONTRACTING 49.1 Sham Contracting occurs when an Employer engages an individual to perform building work under a contract for services where the true character of the engagement or proposed engagement is that of employment. 49.2 The Employer agrees they will not engage in Sham Contracting and recognises that the practice of sham contracting is unlawful and undermines the job security of the Employees covered by this Agreement. 49.3 The Employer will not enter into a contract with another person (“the Contractor”) under which services in the nature of building work are to be provided to the employer, if: (a) the services are to be performed by an individual (who is not the Contractor); and the individual has any ownership in, or is an officer or trustee of, the contractor; and (b) if the contract were entered into with the individual, the contract would be a contract of employment. 49.4 The Employer will maintain records about any Contractors that it has engaged in the preceding month which will include: (a) the name of the Contractor; (b) the owner(s) of the Contractor; (c) the works that the Contractor was engaged to perform; (d) basis on which the Contractor was paid for the work e.g. lump sum/fixed price, daily rate, other; and 49.5 The Employer will, within 7 days of receiving a written request from the Union, provide a copy of the records which it is required to keep pursuant to the previous subclause. Nothing in this subclause requires the Employer to provide information in a manner that is inconsistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). 49.6 Where in breach of this clause a sham contract was in place, such that that Contractor was in fact an Employee under this Agreement, the calculation for back pay will be calculated on the basis of the difference between what they were paid under sham contract arrangement and: (a) 175% of the applicable hourly rate contained in this Agreement; and (b) the Site Allowance (if applicable); and (c) the multi-story allowance (if applicable); and (d) Superannuation (BUSSQ), XXXX, CIPQ and BEWT.
Service Contract The Parties intend this Agreement to be a "service contract" within the meaning of Section 7701(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
No Contracts No agreements, undertakings or contracts affecting the Property, written or oral, will be in existence as of the Closing, except as set forth on the Certification of Operating Contracts, and true and correct copies of such contracts have been delivered to Purchaser. With respect to any such contracts set forth on the Certification of Operating Contracts, each such contract is valid and binding on the Seller and is in full force and effect in all material respects. Neither Seller and to the knowledge of Seller, no other party to any such contract has breached or defaulted under the terms of such contract, except for such breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of the Property.
