(a) the holder of a right of pre-emption to which this section applies gives an undertaking (in the form, or as nearly as may be in the form, contained in schedule 10 to this Act) that, subject to such conditions (if any) as the holder may specify in the undertaking, the holder will not exercise that right during such period as may be so specified;

(b) a conveyance in implement of the sale of the burdened property (or part) is registered before the end of that period; and

(c) any conditions specified under paragraph (a) above have been satisfied,
