(2) Actually executed on the floor of the board of trade, exchange, or similar institution and performed or discharged according to the rules thereof; and
(3) Made with or through a regular member in good standing of a cotton exchange, grain exchange, or similar institution organized under the laws of the State of Arkansas or any other state.
(b) However, contracts of sale for future delivery of cotton, in order to be valid and enforceable, must not only conform to the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, but must also be made subject to the provisions of the United States Cotton Futures Act. If this clause should for any reason be held inoperative, then contracts for the future delivery of cotton shall be valid and enforceable if they conform to the requirement of subsection (a) of this section.
