(a) Each OCS shall enter an agreement with the Commission regarding the terms, conditions, restrictions, benefits, roles and responsibilities of the Commission and the OCS and the scope of the OCS designation. Where a donation will be made to an affiliated non-profit entity, that entity may also be a party to the agreement between the Commission and the OCS.

(c) An OCS's work with the Commission must not conflict with the Commission's mission and goals. Any change in the activities or character of the OCS during the term of the agreement that would create a possible conflict of interest must be brought to the attention of the Commission in a timely manner.

(d) An OCS shall not subcontract or enter an agreement with another person or entity to carry out the OCS's functions as an OCS, except as agreed in writing by the Commission.
