behalf shall be deemed to be an authority for all other

the objects of the Exchange.

14.04 Where a member has sought and been granted permission

of the regulations made hereunder.

14.05 A member shall not permit his name to appear as a broker
or underwriter in connection with the flotation of any

underwritten or in any way organised by others than
members unless such underwriters or co-underwriters or
organisers have been approved by the Executive.

specified in Rule 14.03 in regard to an application for
consent under that provision.
