An agreement mentioned in subsection (1) is subject to the condition that the grantee complies with guidelines (if any) mentioned in section 10 (1) (a) that apply to the grantee.

A reference in an agreement mentioned in subsection (1) to a condition includes the condition mentioned in subsection (4).
