(b) that function in so far as it applies to the exchange participants or applicants to be exchange participants of the designated exchange company,

(b) such other conditions as the Commission considers appropriate.

(4) A transfer order may contain such incidental, supplemental and consequential provisions as may be necessary or expedient for the purpose of giving full effect to the order.
(5) The Commission shall not request that a transfer order be made in respect of the making of financial resources rules unless the proposed designated exchange company has first supplied the Commission with a draft of the financial resources rules which it proposes to make, and the Commission is satisfied that the rules, if made, will afford the investing public an adequate level of protection.
(6) The Commission may at the request or with the consent of a designated exchange company resume a function transferred by a transfer order, but the resumption takes effect only by order of the Chief Executive in Council.
(7) The Chief Executive in Council may order that the Commission resume a function transferred to a designated exchange company by a transfer order if the Commission so requests and if it appears to the Chief Executive in Council to be in the public interest to do so.
