(ix) Workers and credits: there are no employees or workers contracted by the Seller at the present time, so the Property is free of workers, employees, labourers, and social security responsibilities. Accordingly, the Buyer will not be liable or have the status of an employer under applicable labour or social security legislation in respect of any employee employed on the Estate prior to the execution of the Deed or by reason of the operation or management of the Property. There are no fixed-asset loans or those related to works or services rendered in connection with the activity carried out on the Property.

In addition, the Seller must pay the Buyer the corresponding compensation following the finality of the administrative act within a maximum period of 15 working days from receipt of the communication from the Buyer, which will include the bank account to which the payment must be made.
5. THE SELLER’S LIABILITY REGIME.
5.1 LIABILITY REGIME.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies provided for in this Deed supersede the provisions relating to the liability and obligations of a seller in connection with the sale or otherwise provided for in the Spanish Civil and Commercial Codes, including but not limited to the rights and remedies available to a buyer in the event of eviction and hidden defects, or the legal regime applicable to developers and other building agents. In the event of eviction, the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy is the right to indemnity arising from the falsity or incorrectness of the Seller’s Representation provided for in paragraph (i) of Clause 3.
15
5.2 OBLIGATION OF THE SELLER TO INDEMNIFY THE BUYER.
(i) The Seller guarantees to the Buyer the truthfulness, accuracy and performance of each and every one of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, and undertakes to be liable and indemnify the Buyer in respect of any incorrectness or misrepresentation in these Representations and Warranties by which the Buyer is affected, with the obligation to indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from any Damages (as defined below), which may arise from their incorrectness, inaccuracy or misrepresentation, by reason of events or acts prior to the execution of the Sale Agreement and this Deed.
(ii) The Seller will indemnify the Buyer against any Damages arising from the incorrectness, inaccuracy or misrepresentation as of the present date of any of the Seller’s own Representations and Warranties, provided that such incorrectness, inaccuracy or misrepresentation does not arise from facts or circumstances known to the Buyer (as such term is defined below). In this Clause, all incorrectness or falsehoods will be referred to as “Incorrections”.
5.3 DEFINITION OF DAMAGES.
For the purposes of this Deed and in relation to damages suffered by the Buyer, “Damages” means any damages, subject to the exclusions and limitations set out in this Clause, which the Buyer suffers as a result of a Breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties.
By way of example, the following items are excluded from the definition of Damages and, therefore, the Seller assumes no liability in respect thereof:
(i) loss of earnings and moral or reputational damage;
(ii) damage arising out of facts or circumstances known to the Buyer, which are recorded in any public register or accessible to the public on the websites of any public administration (the “Buyer’s Knowledge”);
(iii) amounts that the Buyer has recovered from insurance policies that are in force;
(iv) damages attributable to actions of the Buyer committed after the date of the Sale Agreement (including any wilful action which interrupts the statute of limitations for tax or other obligations), unless such actions were taken by the Buyer in mitigation of, or as a consequence of, a previous breach by the Seller;
16
(v) damage which is remedied by the Seller to the Buyers’ satisfaction. In this respect, the Buyer undertakes to use its best efforts to facilitate the Seller’s ability to remedy any damage. The Buyer further undertakes to act reasonably to mitigate the Damages.
6. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE FOR THE BUYER.
6.1 GENERAL.
The Buyer will notify the Seller of any claim for Damages arising from an Incorrection (the “Claim”), on the understanding that the Buyer will not be liable to the Seller for any Damages arising out of the Incorrection:
(i) if the Claim arises from an impropriety unrelated to a Third-Party Claim, the provisions of Clause 6.2 apply; and
(ii) if the Claim is related to a Third-Party Claim, the provisions of Clause 6.3 will apply.
In both cases the Seller will pay the Buyer the amount of the Damages within fifteen (15) working days (i) from the date on which the Parties reach a written agreement, or (ii) from the date on which a final judgment declaring the same has been obtained.
17
6.2 DIRECT CLAIM BY THE BUYER.
(i) Notification of the complaint: The Buyer will notify the Seller of any Incorrection Claim, which is not related to a Third-Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”). The Notice of Claim will be issued by the Buyer as soon as possible after the Buyer becomes aware of the facts supporting the Claim.
The Buyer will substantially comply in each Claim Notice with the inclusion, in respect of any Claim, of: (i) a description of the facts which, in the opinion of the Buyer, reasonably substantiate such Claim, (ii) a description of the reasons why the Buyer considers that such facts constitute a misrepresentation of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, (iii) the nature and amount of the Damages suffered, if known, and (iv) copies of documentation (if any) supporting or substantiating the facts and circumstances on which the Claim is based.
(ii) Notification of the response: Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a Notice of Claim, the Seller will send a notice to the Buyer (the “Response Notice”) stating whether it accepts the Claim or rejects it, in whole or in part. Any failure by the Seller to send such Response Notice to the Buyer within such period will be deemed an outright rejection by the Seller of the Claim.
(iii) Bona fide contacts: If the Seller rejects the Complaint (either expressly or by failing to send a Response Notice to the Buyer), the Parties will, within one (1) month, negotiate in good faith an appropriate mechanism to deal with the matter within one (1) month of the Response Notice or, in the absence thereof, on the expiry of the period set out in paragraph (b) above.
(iv) Submission to the courts: If no agreement is reached within this period, the Buyer may submit the dispute to the procedure set out in Clause Eleven.
18
6.3 THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
(i) Notification of Third-Party Claim: The Buyer will notify the Seller of any potential Claims for Inaccuracy in the Seller’s Representations that relate to a Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”), as soon as practicable.
Each Third-Party Claim Notice will include, with respect to the Third-Party Claim: (i) the summons, pleadings, writings or any other document(s) served on the Buyer; and (ii) the same information that a Notice of Claim must include as provided in Clause 6.2.
(ii) Assumption of the defence by the Seller: The Seller will be entitled to assume the defence of the Third-Party Claim by notifying the Buyer within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice. In the absence of such notice, the Seller will be deemed to have waived its right to assume the defence of the Third-Party Claim. The Seller will only be entitled to assume the defence of the Third-Party Claim to the extent that it acknowledges any liability under the Sale Agreement and/or this Deed.
(iii) Defence of Third-Party Claims: The following rules will apply to the defence of Third-Party Claims and, for this purpose, the “Defending Party” will be the Party assuming such defence, and the “Non-Defending Party” will be the other Party: (i) if the Seller is the Defending Party, it may not admit liability or agree or settle any Third-Party Claim (or waive its right of recourse) without the prior written consent of the Buyer; (ii) Costs: The Defending Party will bear all costs of defending the Third-Party Claim with the understanding that, if as a result of the Third-Party Claim, the Non-Defending Party ultimately becomes liable to indemnify the Defending Party pursuant to this sale, such costs, to the extent reasonably incurred and properly documented, will be included in the calculation of the Damages, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this sale.
