Extensions of Time
If a registered national securities exchange or a registered securities association is satisfied that a broker-dealer is acting in good faith in making an application for an extension of time, and if exceptional circumstances warrant, it may extend the requirement that the broker-dealer take action within a designated period of time to buy-in a security. Each exchange or association shall make and preserve for a period of not less than three years a record of each extension granted, which shall contain a summary of its justification.
