The Contractor will not subcontract with any <br />subcontractor where it has notice or knowledge that the latter has been found in <br />violation or regulations under 24 CFR Part 135 and will not let any subcontract <br />unless the subcontractor has first provided it with a preliminary statement of ability <br />to comply with the requirements of these regulations. <br />Compliance with the provisions of Section 3, the regulations set forth in 24 CFR Part <br />135, and all applicable rules and orders of the Department issued hereunder prior to <br />the execution of the contract, shall be a condition of the Federal financial assistance <br />provided to the project, binding upon the applicant or recipient for such assistance, <br />its successors and assigns.
