The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may, at its option, demand, in the proceeding itself, the confiscation in its favor of the real property of the defendant entity, or the alienation of said property at public auction within a period of not more than six (6) months reckoned from the date on which final judgment is entered. The confiscation or alienation shall in every case be made upon proper compensation in the manner established by the Condemnation Proceedings Law, §§ 2901—2913 of Title 32. The Supreme Court is hereby empowered to appoint receivers who, in behalf and with the approval of said Supreme Court, shall be exclusively in charge of the liquidation and sale of the property of the [juridical] person or persons affected. The receivers shall give preference in the purchase of land to the Land Authority of Puerto Rico, which shall hold preferential option for the fair value of the property fixed in the final judgment.

The fruits of these parcels shall be wholly for the families having the usufruct thereof, but nothing shall be cultivated thereon which may compete with the produce or main products of the farms, except upon express permission of the Authority. (b) That laborers working on that part of the farm not ceded with these parcels shall receive for each day’s work or part thereof, as an advance, the regular wage commonly paid in that particular zone, or that which may be stipulated by law, and each laborer shall be entitled to receive, on a specified date or dates each year, a proportional part of the net profits of the farm in proportion to the wages or salary he has received as an advance on his labor on said farm. This provision of the contract shall include not only the laborers having parcels on the farm, but all such laborers as well who at any time may work on the farm by order of the lessee. The Authority shall include in all contracts of lease of this nature, a clause providing that the legal working day shall be in effect on farms, and directing the lessee to pay for extra hours of work according to legislation in force. (c) That the laborers residing on the farm shall be absolutely free to work or not on said farm, and to work in any other proportional profit farm or anywhere else. (d) That the lessee shall manage the farm subject to the conditions of the contract and shall reside thereon, and shall not transfer, assign, sublease, encumber, or otherwise dispose of, or alienate, his interest or rights thereunder, and any such attempted disposition shall be null and void and shall be sufficient ground for terminating the contract with the lessee, including all rights accruing thereunder. (e) That the lessee shall have full power to contract or not for the services of the laborers residing on the farm or any other laborers. (f) That the lessee shall receive the current salary or the salary fixed by law for works of this nature, plus a bonus additional, in proportion to the salary fixed, in the event that the farm returns a profit. (g) That the lessee shall, in addition, pay the Authority, such percent of the gross income of the farm as the Authority may determine for supervision, accounting and auditing expenses. The accounting and auditing shall be carried out on the basis of a simple and efficient system to be established by the Authority and the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico. (h) That the lessee shall pay the Authority the rentals fixed by the latter in the contract. (i) That where the Authority furnishes the lessee, as it is hereby authorized to furnish, with the animals or mechanical and technical implements for an efficient cultivation of the soil, the cost of the use thereof shall be added to the rentals of the lease.

(l) That the lessee shall pay to the Authority the premium that the Authority may determine to secure payment of any crop loan made to the Farm by the Authority, or by any public or private entity with the Authority’s surety, for agricultural purposes and the grinding of its canes.
