a request for an exemption has been made to F1it under section 14 by a party to the agreement; and

b

the agreement is one to which section 9 applies.

2

An exemption granted under this section is referred to in this Part as an individual exemption.

3

The exemption—

a

may be granted subject to such conditions or obligations as the F1OFT considers it appropriate to impose; and

b

has effect for such period as the F1OFT considers appropriate.

4

That period must be specified in the grant of the exemption.

5
