All Parties agree that such affected Contractors shall be solely responsible for any retroactive payment to its employees. 7.4.3 Some Contractors may elect to continue to work on the Project under the terms of the interim agreement option offered under paragraph 7.4.1 and other Contractors may elect to continue to work on the Project under the retroactivity option offered under paragraph 7.4.2.
