(a) Agreement.

Upon selection as a successful candidate, and as a condition to the receipt of any annual payment, the recipients shall execute a written agreement with the corporation, which agreement shall set forth the recipient's obligations to practice medicine in a shortage area designated pursuant to Education Law, section 605(9)(a)(3), and in accordance with these rules. Such agreement shall also provide for the recipient to repay any funds received and such other amounts that may be due as provided by law in the event he or she shall fail or refuse to complete the service obligation.

To receive an annual payment each recipient shall submit a complete application for such payment to the corporation.
