Rule 40 is an anti-brokered convention rule. It means (in practice) that only the #1 or #2 candidate out of the primaries and caucuses can be the nominee. This year, it's basically the anti-Mitt Romney / Paul Ryan rule, because it keeps them from being nominated by a few unpledged delegates on the first ballot and then winning on the second ballot when the pledged delegates are free to vote how they want.
