  We show how deviations from the dimensional scaling laws for exclusive
processes may be related to a breakdown in the locality of quark-hadron
duality, i.e. the "restricted locality". For exclusive reactions like meson
photo- and electroproduction above the resonance region, we explore the effects
arising from such a local duality breaking and propose that it can be a
possible source for oscillations about the smooth quark counting rule predicted
by pQCD in the 90-degree differential cross sections.
