The affidavit shall state how he or she satisfies each of the conditions for admission, including good cause, set forth in R. 1:21-2(a). He or she shall also agree in the affidavit to comply with the dictates of R. 1:21-2(b).

3. An annual payment made to the Client's Security Fund and Ethics Financial Committee shall entitle the attorney to appear in subsequent matters during the payment year, provided the attorney otherwise qualifies for admission.
