Uniques and iLvL question

I know you can chance a Unique from any iLvL of item as long as what your chancing has a unique. But my question revolves around sockets and iLvL. Are uniques exempt from the socket minimal iLvL requirement?

Like if I chance an iLvl 40 item and it rolls into a unique, will the unique be able to roll 6 sockets? Logic says no cause iLvl 50 is needed for 6 sockets but I'm not sure if this applies to uniques, or if uniques are considered iLvl 50+ by default if they are a 2h or a chest.

edit;
Suppose the question could also be applied to a chest/2h unique that drops pre-50 zone as well.

Thanks for the help

No, uniques are not exempt from Ilevel socket limitations. However, i believe you can use Vorici's crafting bench to craft more sockets than the Ilevel would let you get randomly.
