(B) If such security was listed on an exchange at the time a temporary exemption from registration was granted to such exchange, and shall have continued to be so listed until registration of such exchange became effective, such exemption shall continue to and including April 30, 1936.

If registration pursuant to section 12 (b), (c), and (d) shall become effective as to any obligation evidenced by any such security, such exemption shall forthwith terminate as to such obligation.

(b) Any security exempted by paragraph (a) of this rule from the operation of section 12 (a) shall continue to be exempt from the operation of said section 12 (a), to the extent necessary to render lawful the effecting of transactions therein on any national securities exchange on which such security is now listed, until this rule shall be revoked or modified, if on or before the twentieth day preceeding the expiration of the exemption provided by said paragraph (a) the owner or lessee of the property securing the same shall file with such exchange, and with the Commission, a statement with respect to such security or, if such owner or lessee is personally liable upon such security, an application for the registration of such security, conforming to the following requirements. Such statement or application, as the case may be, shall be made upon the form appropriate for registration of securities of such owner or lessee, shall set forth the information required by such form, and shall contain the following additional statement with respect to such security:

(1) That temporary registration of such security expired on June 30, 1935;

(2) That such security is secured by property which is owned or leased by such owner or lessee and, if leased, a brief outline of the principal provisions of such lease, together with a copy of such lease as an exhibit;

(3) That the original issuer has either been dissolved or has no assets (other than nominal assets) except its interest, if any, in such property, and that such security has as its only means of service payments made by such owner or lessee; and

(4) Whether or not such owner or lessee is personally liable upon such securities.

If any such statement or application does not contain the additional statement and exhibit required in items (1) to (4), inclusive, such additional statement and exhibit may be supplied in an amendment, pursuant to rule X-12B-3, filed on or before such twentieth day.

Any such security may be included in any application made by such owner or lessee for the registration of its own securities, provided that it is clearly indicated that the required additional statement is made for the purposes of this rule.

If registration pursuant to sections 12 (b), (c), and (d) shall become effective as to any obligation evidenced by any such security, such exemption shall forthwith terminate as to such obligation.

(c) Rules X-7C2-1 and X-10B-1 shall be applicable to all securities exempted from the operation of section 12 (a) by paragraph (a) or (b) of this rule.
