   (1)  A person who owns outstanding debt securities, and related guarantees, exchanges those securities for debt securities, and related guarantees of the same issuer which are the subject of an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C.A. §  77e) (exchange transaction).
   (2)  The outstanding debt securities, and related guarantees, are restricted securities as that term is defined in 17 CFR 230.144(a)(3) (relating to persons deemed not to be engaged in a distribution and therefore not underwriters).
