2.The ruler would accept a British Resident in his state.
3.An Indian ruler who entered into a subsidiary alliance would not enter into any further alliance with any other power, nor would he declare war against any power without the permission of the British.
4.The ruler would not employ any Europeans other than the British, and if he were already doing so, he would dismiss them.
5.In case of a conflict with any other state, he would agree the resolution decided upon by the British.
6.The ruler would acknowledge the East India Company as the paramount power in India.
7.In return for the ruler accepting its conditions, the Company undertook to protect the state from external dangers and internal disorders.
