indemnity for damages and the payment of interest.
a. FALSE. The statement is not absolute; an exception is if there was an agreement.
4. The insolvency of one debtor will increase the liability of his co-debtors.
a. FALSE. This does not always apply. The liability will not increase if the obligation is
joint.
5. That obliged to deliver or do something (???) in delay only from the time the obligee judicially or
extra-judicially demands from them the fulfillment of their obligation.

demand but there is delay.
i. When stipulated by the parties, by provision of law, when time is the essence
or when the demand will be useless.
6. Proof of actual damages suffered by the creditor is not necessary in order that the penalty may
be demanded.

7. An obligation which is payable upon the death of Mr. X within five years from its execution is a
conditional obligation.
a. TRUE.
8. Solidarity may exist although the creditors and the debtors may not be bound in the same
manner and by the same periods and conditions.

expressly so states, or when the law or the nature of the obligation requires
solidarity.”
