2. The agreement:
a. Is in writing;
b. Clearly states the nature of the property and the services to be provided;
c. States the amount of the fee or other compensation to be paid, which may not be in excess of ten percent of the amount recovered;
d. Discloses that, absent the agreement, the property would be delivered to a state-administered unclaimed property program for safekeeping on the owner's behalf and upon delivery, the owner may be able to recover the property from the state-administered program without charge; and
