2. Securities exempt from registration under A.R.S. § 44-1843(A)(7). However, a dealer or salesman shall not be required to register before engaging in transactions directed to existing securities holders, to employees of the issuer, or to employees of a wholly owned subsidiary of the issuer if the subsidiary was not created to avoid the registration provisions of the Securities Act, and in which either of the following apply:

a. The offering is made by the issuer.

b. The offering is made by a dealer or salesman acting without compensation, other than a reasonable standby charge authorized under the distribution agreement concerning any remaining balance of the offering not purchased or subscribed by existing securities holders or employees of the issuer or its wholly owned subsidiary.

3. Securities exempt from registration under A.R.S. § 44-1843(A)(9).

4. Securities transactions exempt from registration under A.R.S. § 44-1844(A)(1), R14-4-126(E), or R14-4-126(F) if the dealer or salesman is engaged principally and primarily in the business of making a series of private offerings.

5. Securities transactions exempt from registration under A.R.S. § 44-1844(A)(4) if the dealer or salesman receives compensation or engages or offers to engage in repeated or successive transactions of a similar character. "Repeated or successive transactions of similar character" include transactions that occur sufficiently close in time to reasonably indicate continuity or association, whether the transactions are made on behalf of one or more securities owners, and whether the securities are of the same or different issuers.
