(a) such entity is receiving services directly, solely and exclusively in order to satisfy contractual obligations to 1 or more contract entity, all of which are entitled to use the contract on their own account; and
(b) it will pass the benefit of the contract to such contract entity (-ies) directly, in full and on a purely 'pass-through' basis. Accordingly there must be no mark-up, management fee, service charge or any similar cost solely in relation to the services imposed on the relevant contract entity (-ies) who must be able to benefit from the terms of the contract in a like manner and to the same extent as if using the contract on its/their own account.
