the amendments to Section 3 (g) and U( f ) ( 2) to become e ffe c tiv e
September 3, 1951, and the amendment to Section 6 (g ) to be­
come e ffe c tiv e September 17, 1951:
1. By adding the follow in g sentence at the end of Section
3 ( g) :
In any case in which an excess so created, or increase so caused,
by transactions on a given day does not exceed §100, the creditor
need not obtain the deposit sp ecified th erefor in the f i r s t
paragraph o f Section 3 (b) .
2. By changing Section h ( f ) ( 2 ) to read as fo llo w s:
(2) Make loans, and may maintain loans, to or fo r any
partner of a firm which is a member of a national secu ri­
t ie s exchange to enable such partner to make a contribu­
tion of ca p ita l to such firm, or may make and maintain
subordinated loans to such a member firm for capital pur­
poses, provided ( a ) the lender as well as the borrower is
a partner in such firm , or (B) the borrower is a member of
such exchange, the lender is a corporation a ll of the com­
mon stock o f which is owned d ire c tly or in d ire ctly by the
firm or by general partners and employees o f the firm , and,
in addition to the fa ct that an appropriate committee o f
the exchange has approved the firm 's a f fili a t io n with the
corporation and is s a tis fie d that the loan is not in con­
travention of any rule of the exchange, the loan has the
approval of such committee, or (C) the lender as w ell as
the borrower is a member of such exchange, the loan has
the approval of an appropriate committee of the exchange,
and the committee, in addition to being s a tis fie d that
the loan is not in contravention of any rule of the ex­
change, is s a tis fie d that the loan is outside the o rd i­
nary course of the len d er's business, and that, i f the
borrower's firm does any dealing in se cu ritie s fo r it s
own account, the loan is not fo r the purpose of enabling
the firm to increase the amount o f such dealing;

distribu tion s received by the cred itor with respect to
secu rities in a general account to be withdrawn from
the account only on condition that the adjusted debit
balance of the account does not exceed the maximum
loan value o f the secu rities in the account a fte r such
withdrawal, or on condition that ( l ) such withdrawal
is made within 3!? days after the day on which, in
accordance with the c r e d ito r 's usual practice such
in terest, dividends or other distribu tion s are entered
in the account, (2) such entry in the account has not
served in the meantime to permit in the account any
transaction which could not otherwise have been e f ­
fected in accordance with this regulation, and (3) any
cash withdrawn does not represent any arrearage on the
security with respect to which i t was distribu ted, and
the current market value of any se cu ritie s withdrawn
does not exceed 10 per cent of the current market
value of the security with respect to which they were
distribu ted . Failure by a cred itor to obtain in a
general account any cash or secu rities that are d is ­
tributed with respect to any security in the account
sh all, except to the extent that withdrawal would be
permitted under the preceding sentence, be deemed to
be a transaction in the account which occurs on the
day on which the d istrib u tion is payable and which
requires the cred itor to obtain in accordance with
Section 3(b) a deposit of cash or maximum loan value
o f secu rities at lea st as great as that of the d is ­
tribution,,
