“Representative” means any individual or entity, including but not limited to agents, corporate or other business entities, whether related or unrelated
to the other business, and independent contractors, that conducts business activity in the taxing state on behalf of another. The term does not include
employee. The term includes, without any limitation on the foregoing, agents, corporate or other business entities, related or unrelated to the other
business, and independent contractors. A representative may be a resident or nonresident of the taxing state. The term also includes
sub-representatives. “Sub-representative” means a person to whom a representative delegates authority to perform some duty, or the whole of
the business, relating to their representation, or to assist in transacting the affairs of their principal. A sub-representative is a person appointed by a
representative empowered to do so, to perform functions undertaken by the representative for the principal, but for whose conduct the representative
agrees with the principal to be primarily responsible. Such person may be: an under-representative; a substituted representative; or one person
appointed by one who is a representative. But a mere servant of a representative is not a “sub-representative.”
