 (1) This section applies to the following markets:

 (i) that were, at that time, covered by a declaration (the declaration of exemption) in force immediately before the FSR commencement under subsection 771(1) of the old Corporations Act; but
 (ii) that did not have a single person who could be identified as the operator of the market;

 (4) The declaration of exemption (including any conditions specified in the declaration) for a stock market or futures market to which this section applies cannot:

 (b) be varied after the FSR commencement so as to cover a person or persons it did not cover immediately before the commencement.
