The contracts are executed under the previous conditions until their term, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The co-contractors are informed of the substitution of legal entity by the Metropolitan Council. The substitution of a legal entity for existing contracts does not give rise to any right to termination or compensation for the co-contractor.
