                rights to
                correspond to the rank he had prior to signing the personal contract,
                taking account of the seniority he had accumulated up to the date
                of his
                transfer to the lower-level function, and also adapting (and where
                necessary - reducing) the conditions related to his salary in accordance
                with the new lower-level function. It is clarified that in such event
                the
                Company shall not owe the employee any payment and/or consideration
                whatsoever with respect to his transfer to the lower-level function
                and
                the adaptation of his salary, rights and conditions as aforesaid.
