Rule 11a1-1(T)
  Transactions Yielding Priority,
Parity, and Precedence
a.
A transaction effected
on a national securities exchange for the account of a member which meets
the requirements of
Section
11(a)(1)(G)(i) of the Act shall be deemed, in accordance with the
requirements of Section 11(a)(1)(G)(ii), to be not inconsistent with the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets and to yield priority, parity,
and precedence in execution to orders for the account of persons who are
not members or associated with members of the exchange if such transaction
is effected in compliance with each of the following requirements:
1.
A member shall disclose that a bid or offer for its account is for its
account to any member with whom such bid or offer is placed or to whom
it is communicated, and any member through whom that bid or offer is communicated
shall disclose to others participating in effecting the order that it
is for the account of a member.
2.
Immediately before executing the order, a member (other than the specialist
in such security) presenting any order for the account of a member on
the exchange shall clearly announce or otherwise indicate to the specialist
and to other members then present for the trading in such security on
the exchange that he is presenting an order for the account of a member.
3.
Notwithstanding rules of priority, parity, and precedence otherwise applicable,
any member presenting for execution a bid or offer for its own account
or for the account of another member shall grant priority to any bid or
offer at the same price for the account of a person who is not, or is
not associated with, a member, irrespective of the size of any such bid
or offer or the time when entered.
b. A
member shall be deemed to meet the requirements of
Section
11(a)(1)(G)(i) of the Act if during its preceding fiscal year more
than 50 percent of its gross revenues was derived from one or more of
the sources specified in that section. In addition to any revenue which
independently meets the requirements of Section 11(a)(1)(G)(i), revenue
derived from any transaction specified in paragraph
(A),
(B), or
(D) of Section
11(a)(1) of the Act or specified in
Rule 11a1-4(T)
shall be deemed to be revenue derived from one or more of the sources
specified in Section 11(a)(1)(G)(i). A member may rely on a list of members
which are stated to meet the requirements of Section 11(a)(1)(G)(i) if
such list is prepared, and updated at least annually, by the exchange.
In preparing any such list, an exchange may rely on a report which sets
forth a statement of gross revenues of a member if covered by a report
of independent accountants for such member to the effect that such report
has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
