        (4)         An application for an exemption may be lodged —

            (a)         on behalf of an association as part of an application under section 7; or

            (b)         by an incorporated association.

        (5)         The Commissioner is only to grant an exemption in respect of a provision if satisfied —

            (a)         that the special circumstances of the association justify the exemption; and

            (b)         that the exemption will not affect the objects or purposes of the association; and

            (c)         that the application of the provision to the association would cause undue hardship to its members; and
