Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Subcontractor agreement
French term or phrase: débiteur d'une obligation
From a subcontractor agreement;

"Chaque fois que l'Entrepreneur Principal est débiteur d'une obligation de faire à l'égard du Maître d'Ouvrage, il en est de même pour le sous-traitant vis-à-vis de l'Entrepreneur Principal. En outre, toute décision du Maître d'Ouvrage à l'égard de l'Entrepreneur Principal (notamment résiliation du marché, ajournement ou suspension des travaux, abandon de programme, etc.) s'impose, de plein droit, au sous-traitant."

I see what it means but can't find the equivalent in English.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Explanation:
You have not parsed this correctly. The critical phrase is "obligation de faire", which is a duty of performance.

"If parties enter into a contract, the terms of the contract impose obligations on both parties. The obligations imposed by the
terms of a contract are meant to be performed. If they are not performed at all, or performed late or performed in the wrong
manner, the party on whom the duty of performance lay (the debtor) is said to have committed a breach of the contract;"
