noted.


    (a) Exclusion, in whole or in part occurs:
    (1) When a practice by an industry member, whether direct, indirect, 
or through an affiliate, places (or has the

potential to place) trade buyer independence at risk by means of a tie 
or link between the industry member and trade buyer or by any other 
means of industry member control over the trade buyer, and
    (2) Such practice results in the trade buyer purchasing less than it 
would have of a competitor's product.
    (b) Section 10.52 lists practices that create a tie or link that 
places trade buyer independence at risk. Section 10.53 is reserved and 
will list practices not resulting in exclusion. Section 10.54 lists the 
criteria used for determining whether other practices can put trade 
buyer independence at risk.
