MODIFYING ORDER IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATION OF SEC. 5 OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Doket C-2755. Consent Order, Oct. 1975-Modifying Order, March, 1983 This order reopens the proceeding and modifies the Commission s order issued on Oct. 1975 (86 F. C. 1002), by modifying Paragraph 1(11), so as to allow the company to impose non-discriminatory standards on the kind of retailers its distributors and dealers can serve.

ORDER MODIFYING DECISION AND ORDER The Commission on November 5, 1982 having reopened the order and issued an order against respondent to show cause why the consent order to cease and desist entered on October 24, 1975 should not be modified as set forth therein; and respondent thereafter having answered that it has no objection to modification of the consent order as set forth in the order to show cause;

Accordingly, it is ordered that Paragraph 1(11) of the order in this matter is modified to read:

Preventing or prohibiting any independent dealer or distributor from resellng his products to any person or group of persons, business or class of businesses, except as expressly provided herein. This order shall not prohibit respondent from establishing lawful, reasonable and nondiscriminatory minimum standards for its dealers, including standards that relate to promotion and store display, demonstration inventory levels, service and repair, volume requirements and financial stability nor shall this order prohibit respondent from requiring its dealers who sell respondent' s products for resale to make such sales only to dealers who maintain such minimum standards.
