Sec.  10.21  Commercial bribery.


    It is unlawful for an industry member, directly or indirectly or 
through an affiliate, to induce a trade buyer to purchase the industry 
member's products, to the complete or partial exclusion of products sold 
or offered for sale by other persons in interstate or foreign commerce, 
by offering or giving a bonus, premium, compensation, or other thing of 
value to any officer, employee, or representative of the trade buyer. 
The bonus, premium, compensation, or other thing of value need not be 
offered or given for the purpose of directly inducing a trade buyer to 
purchase from the seller, but rather is applicable if an industry member 
induces officers, employees or representatives of the trade buyer to 
promote sales of the industry member's products and thereby indirectly 
induces the trade buyer to purchase from the industry member.
