Sec. 3. (a) Following the termination of the association with a member of a person who is registered with it, such member shall, not later than 30 days after such termination, give notice of the termination of such association to the Corporation via electronic process or such other process as the Corporation may prescribe on a form designated by the Corporation, and concurrently shall provide to the person whose association has been terminated a copy of said notice as filed with the Corporation. A member that does not submit such notification and provide a copy to the person whose association has been terminated, within the time period prescribed, shall be assessed a late filing fee as specified by the Corporation. Termination of registration of such person associated with a member shall not take effect so long as any complaint or action under the Rules of the Corporation is pending against a member and to which complaint or action such person associated with a member is also a respondent, or so long as any complaint or action is pending against such person individually under the Rules of the Corporation. The Corporation, however, may in its discretion declare the termination effective at any time.
(b) The member shall notify the Corporation via electronic process or such other process as the Corporation may prescribe by means of an amendment to the notice filed pursuant to subsection (a) in the event that the member learns of facts or circumstances causing any information set forth in said notice to become inaccurate or incomplete. Such amendment shall be filed with the Corporation via electronic process or such other process as the Corporation may prescribe and a copy provided to the person whose association with the member has been terminated not later than 30 days after the member learns of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the amendment.
