(b) To re-qualify for relief, e.g., either applying for additional relief on top of relief already granted, or applying for relief sometime after your earlier agreement terminated, you must demonstrate that:
(1) You have met the criterion listed in paragraph (a) of this section, and
(2) The 12 required qualifying months of operation have occurred under the current royalty arrangement.
