Present or former employees or agents of, or consultants or counsel to, any Party may not be nominated or appointed as an Arbitrator.34.9 Any decisions or awards in the arbitration, including all materials in the arbitration created for the purposes of the arbitration and all other documents produced by another Party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, shall be kept confidential by the arbitral tribunal and be treated as confidential information by the Parties, pursuant to Art. 33.34.10 Each Party shall bear its costs and expenses incurred with the arbitration, including solicitors' fees. The Parties shall also share equally the arbitrators' fees and expenses provided, however, that the arbitrators may provide for alternative allocation of such expenses to a Party, including if the arbitrators determine in writing that such Party's position was not taken in good faith.34.11 Each Party agrees that it may be joined as an additional party to an arbitration involving another Party to this Contract. The Contractor agrees that, if a Dispute between it and the Company has been referred to arbitration, it shall not object to the Company joining a Company's other contractor for the Project (for the purposes of this Article a "Third Party Contractor") appointed under a contract (the "Third Party Contract") to that arbitration.34.12 Where a Dispute has been referred to arbitration, and the Company has a related dispute with(1) a Third Party Contractor under a Third Party Contract and which Third Party Contractor agrees to similar joinder and consolidation obligations as set out herein, or (2) either Party has claims against a guarantor under a guarantee issued in relation to this Contract (each, a "Related Dispute"), notwithstanding that an arbitral tribunal may already have been agreed or appointed in relation to the Dispute and/or the Related Dispute, the Company or the Contractor may give written notice ("Related Dispute Notice") requiring, as appropriate:(a) the joinder of the parties to the Related Dispute to the Dispute under this Contract;(b) the concurrent hearing of the Dispute under this Contract and the Related Dispute by the same arbitral tribunal; or34.13 Such Related Dispute Notice must be served on: (i) any arbitral tribunal already agreed or appointed in relation to the Dispute and/or the Related Dispute; and (ii) the other Party and all parties to the Related Dispute.34.14 In the event of all concerned parties not having agreed upon joinder, the concurrent hearing of disputes or consolidation as required in the Related Dispute Notice within 14 days after receipt of such notice, any party to the Dispute or a Related Dispute may request any arbitral tribunal appointed in respect of such dispute to make a ruling on the matter and the Parties agree that any such arbitral tribunal shall have the power to:(a) determine whether a dispute is a Related Dispute;(b) order joinder, consolidation or concurrent hearings as they consider appropriate, to give effect to the Related Dispute Notice; and(b) the extent of any delay on the part of the party that served the Related Dispute Notice;(c) make all such other orders as if the parties to the Related Dispute were a party to this arbitration agreement.34.15 In the event of inconsistent decisions by different arbitral tribunals relating to joinder, concurrent hearings or consolidation (including which arbitral tribunal should preside over any concurrent hearings or consolidated dispute), the decision of the arbitral tribunal appointed first in time must prevail. Any decision by an arbitral tribunal in relation to a matter raised in a Related Dispute Notice shall be determined taking into account:(a) the likelihood and consequences of inconsistent decisions if joinder, concurrent hearings or consolidation is not allowed;(c) the extent of any delay on the part of any party objecting to the approach required in the Related Dispute Notice;(d) how far the arbitration or any other dispute resolution process in relation to the Dispute and/or the Related Dispute has progressed; and(e) the likely consequences of joinder, concurrent hearings or consolidation in terms of cost and time.34.16 In the event that the parties agree on, or an order is made for, joinder, concurrent hearings or consolidation of the Dispute and the Related Dispute ("Unified Dispute"), the arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the Unified Dispute in accordance with this Article ("Tribunal") shall then have discretion to revise any procedural directions, timetables or time limits that may have been agreed or ordered in relation to the Dispute or the Related Dispute and give any order in respect of the joinder, concurrent hearings or consolidation of the Dispute and the Related Dispute as may be necessary. Any such award, decision or order of the Tribunal shall be binding on all parties to the Unified Dispute.34.17 Documents disclosed in an arbitration concerning the Dispute shall be admissible in and may be relied upon in a Related Dispute or Unified Dispute.34.18 The Tribunal shall have jurisdiction to resolve finally the Unified Dispute to the exclusion of any other arbitral tribunal and any appointment of another arbitral tribunal in relation to the Unified Dispute will be deemed to be functus officio. Any such termination of an arbitral tribunal's appointment shall be without prejudice to:(a) (subject to the foregoing provisions) the validity of any act done or order made by the arbitral tribunal or by the court in support of that arbitration before the termination of its appointment;(b) its entitlement to be paid its proper fees and disbursements; and(c) the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purposes of applying any limitation bar or any similar rule or provision.34.19 The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the arbitral tribunal following the joinder of parties, concurrent hearings or consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Art. 34 where such objections are based solely on the fact that joinder, concurrent hearing or consolidation has occurred.34.20 Notwithstanding any reference to dispute resolution hereunder the Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under the Contract unless the Parties otherwise agree.34.21 Any determination which the Company is entitled to make pursuant to the terms of the Contract (including as to adjustments to Contract Price or Contract Schedule), shall be binding on the Parties on an interim basis pending the outcome of any dispute proceedings commenced in respect of such determination pursuant to this Art. 34.OTHER PROVISIONS 35 TRANSFER OF THE CONTRACT AND THIRD PARTY RIGHTS35.1 The Contractor shall not assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of this Contract (or its right, title, or interest in it or any part of it) without the prior written consent of the Company.35.2 The Company shall not assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of this Contract (or its right, title, or interest in it or any part of it) without the prior written consent of the Contractor; provided that, no such consent shall be required with respect to an assignment to:(b) a special purpose company established for the purpose of a financing or refinancing of the Project;(c) any other person, provided that the Company can reasonably demonstrate that the assignee (directly or through financial security provided by or on behalf of the assignee) has the financial strength required to fulfil the Company's obligations under the Contract.35.3 The Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties' successors and permitted assigns.35.4 The Company may, without the prior consent of the Contractor, collaterally assign, transfer, charge, mortgage, pledge, novate or otherwise encumber this Contract (or its right, title, or interest in it or any part of it) to any person.35.5 The Contractor shall, at the Company's request, duly execute and return to the Company a deed or agreement necessary to give effect to any permitted assignment, charge, encumbrance or novation referred to above and the form of such deed or agreement in respect of a novation, shall be in the form attached at Appendix K (Form of Novation) subject to any changes the beneficiary may reasonably require.The Contractor shall provide such documents and other technical assistance as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the financing of the Project or the Work.From the Contract Date and during the performance of the Work, the Contractor shall make available information to the Company and the Lenders providing answers to questions relating to the status of the Work, including information relating to the design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, testing and delivery of the Work, the status of any required licenses, and permits, and such other matters as the Company or the Lenders may reasonably request.The Contractor shall agree to such amendments to the Contract and furnish such consents to assignment, certifications, and representations, estoppel certificates, and opinions of counsel addressed to the Company and the Lenders as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Lenders in connection with the financing of the Project.The Contractor agrees that in the event of an assignment of the Contract to the agent of the Lenders or any person providing finance to the Project or any other permitted assignee, the Contractor shall, if requested by the Company, execute an acknowledgement of assignment and shall upon the request of the Company enter into a direct agreement in favour of the agent of the Lenders in the form of Lenders’ Direct Agreement laid down in Appendix N, Annex N1, oron such other terms as may be reasonably required by the Lenders subject to such form being consistent with the requirements for a non-recourse or limited recourse financing.The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders may appoint representatives or engineers to monitor the performance of the Works and compliance with other provisions within the Contract.
