DImpose additional conditions after the initial grant
Explanation
A fee simple subject to a condition subsequent gives the grantor the right of re-entry — the power to elect to reclaim the property if the specified condition is violated. Unlike a fee simple determinable (automatic termination), the estate does not automatically end — the grantor must take affirmative legal action to reclaim it.
