Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4, a contract of employment shall, in the absence of choice in accordance with Article 3, be governed:
by the law of the country in which the employee habitually carries out his work in performance of the contract, even if he is temporarily employed in another country; or
if the employee does not habitually carry out his work in any one country, by the law of the country in which the place of business through which he was engaged is situated;
