The syntax of the "exception" is faulty. It should say, "The ball is dead and the batter-runner is not out (1) in slow pitch, when runners are not required to run bases on a home run or four-base award, or on a base on balls, or (2) in fast pitch, on a hit batter.
Still, 8-2-D oddly states that the BR is out for failing to advance to 1B and entering the team area on a FP hit batter, and then immediately makes an exception for it.
