(a)Except as otherwise provided in this section, the aggregate reduction in the rate of duty on any article which is in effect on any day pursuant to a trade agreement under section 101 shall not exceed the aggregate reduction which would have been in effect on such day if— ####

(2)a reduction equal to the amount applicable under paragraph
(1)had taken effect at 1-year intervals after the effective date of such first reduction. This subsection shall not apply in any case where the total reduction in the rate of duty does not exceed 10 percent of the rate before the reduction. ###

(2)If any part of a reduction takes effect, then any time thereafter during which any part of the reduction is not in effect by reason of legislation of the United States or action thereunder, the effect of which is to maintain or increase the rate of duty on an article, shall be excluded in determining— #####
(A)the 1-year intervals referred to in subsection (a)(2), and #####
(B)the expiration of the 10-year period referred to in paragraph
