Provided, That such holding company does not have cause to believe that such application was not filed in good faith. (b) Subsidiary companies deemed to be included in applications by parent companies under section 2(a)(8). Every application for exemption filed under section 2(a)(8) (49 Stat. 804; 15 U.S.C. 79b), whether filed before or after the adoption of this section, shall, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, be deemed to be filed on behalf of such applicant and of all subsidiary companies of such applicant, and shall be deemed to include as applicants all such subsidiary companies of such subsidiary company filing such application: Provided, however, That the Commission may in any case direct the filing of separate applications by any such companies or may order separate hearings or enter separate or different orders with respect to any such companies so deemed to be included pursuant to this section.
