conditions of any franchise, or the terms or provisions of any

for cancellation, termination, or nonrenewal. The manufacturer

powersports vehicle dealer has failed to comply with reasonable

manufacturer, and the new motor vehicle dealer or new powersports
vehicle dealer has been notified by written notice from the

dealer has received written notification of failure to comply with
the manufacturer's reasonable sales performance standards,
capitalization requirements, facility commitments, business-related

of those reasons enumerated in paragraph 1 of subsection C of this
section, and the new motor vehicle dealer or new powersports vehicle
dealer has been afforded a reasonable opportunity of not less than
six (6) months to comply with such a provision or criteria.
    C. Irrespective of the terms, provisions, or conditions of any
franchise agreement prior to the termination, cancellation, or
nonrenewal of any franchise, the manufacturer shall furnish
notification of such termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal to the

of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal unless for a cause
described in paragraph 2 of this subsection;

             receivership law,
        b.   failure of the new motor vehicle dealer or new
             powersports vehicle dealer to conduct its customary
             sales and service operations during its customary
             business hours for seven (7) consecutive business
             days, provided that such failure to conduct business
             shall not be due to an act of God or circumstances
             beyond the direct control of the new motor vehicle
             dealer, or
        c.   conviction of the new motor vehicle dealer or new
             powersports vehicle dealer of any felony which is
             punishable by imprisonment or a violation of the
             Federal Odometer Act; and
    3. Not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
effective date of the termination or cancellation where the
manufacturer or distributor is discontinuing the sale of the product
line.
    The notification required by this subsection shall be by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall contain a
statement of intent to terminate, to cancel, or to not renew the
franchise, a statement of the reasons for the termination,
cancellation, or nonrenewal and the date the termination shall take

ENR. S. B. NO. 604  Page 9
termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, the new motor vehicle
dealer shall have the right to file a protest of such threatened
termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal with the Commission within
thirty (30) days and request a hearing. The hearing shall be held
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the timely
protest by the dealer and in accordance with the provisions of the
Administrative Procedures Act, Sections 250 through 323 of Title 75
of the Oklahoma Statutes, to determine if the threatened
cancellation, termination, or nonrenewal of the franchise has been
for good cause and if the factory has complied with its obligations
pursuant to subsections A, B, and C of this section and the factory
shall have the burden of proof. Either party may request an
additional one-hundred-eighty-day extension of the hearing date from
the Commission. Approval of the requested extension may not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Commission finds that the
threatened cancellation, termination, or nonrenewal of the franchise
has not been for good cause or violates subsection A, B, or C of
this section, then it shall issue a final order stating that the
threatened termination is wrongful. A factory shall have the right
to appeal such order. During the pendency of the hearing and after
the decision, through any appeal, the franchise shall remain in full
force and effect, including the right to transfer the franchise. If
the Commission finds that the threatened cancellation, termination,
or nonrenewal is for good cause and does not violate subsection A,
B, or C of this section, the new motor vehicle or new powersports
vehicle dealer shall have the right to an appeal. During the
pendency of the action, including the final decision or appeal, the
franchise shall remain in full force and effect, including the right
to transfer the franchise. If the new motor vehicle dealer prevails
in the threatened termination action, the Commission shall award to
the new motor vehicle dealer the attorney fees and costs incurred to
defend the action.
    E. If the factory prevails in an action to terminate, cancel,
or not renew any franchise, the new motor vehicle or new powersports
vehicle dealer shall be allowed fair and reasonable compensation by
the manufacturer for:
    1. New, current, and previous model year vehicle inventory
which has been acquired from the manufacturer, and which is unused
and has not been damaged or altered while in the new motor vehicle
dealer's possession;
ENR. S. B. NO. 604  Page 10
    2. Supplies and parts which have been acquired from the
manufacturer, for the purpose of this section, limited to any and
all supplies and parts that are listed on the current parts price
sheet available to the new motor vehicle dealer;
    3. Equipment and furnishings, provided the new motor vehicle
dealer purchased them from the manufacturer or its approved sources;
and
    4. Special tools, with such fair and reasonable compensation to
be paid by the manufacturer within ninety (90) days of the effective
date of the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, provided the
new motor vehicle dealer has clear title to the inventory and other
items and is in a position to convey that title to the manufacturer.
        a.   For the purposes of paragraph 1 of this subsection,
             fair and reasonable compensation shall be no less than
             the net acquisition price of the vehicle paid by the
             new motor vehicle dealer.
        b.   For the purposes of paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of this
             subsection, fair and reasonable compensation shall be
             the net acquisition price paid by the new motor
             vehicle dealer less a twenty-percent (20%) straight-
             line depreciation for each year following the dealer's
             acquisition of the supplies, parts, equipment,
             furnishings, and/or special tools.
    F. 1. If a factory prevails in an action to terminate, cancel,
or not renew any franchise and the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer is leasing the dealership facilities, the
manufacturer shall pay a reasonable rent to the lessor in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of this subsection. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to relieve a new motor vehicle or
new powersports vehicle dealer of its duty to mitigate damages.
    Such reasonable rental value shall be paid only to the extent
the dealership premises are recognized in the franchise and only if
they are:
ENR. S. B. NO. 604  Page 11
        a.   used solely for performance in accordance with the
             franchise. If the facility is used for the operation
             of more than one franchise, the reasonable rent shall
             be paid based upon the portion of the facility
             utilized by the franchise being terminated, canceled,
             or nonrenewed, and
        b.   not substantially in excess of facilities recommended
             by the manufacturer.
    2. If the facilities are owned by the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer, or a related entity as defined in 26
U.S.C.A., Section 267(b), or a member, partner or shareholder of the
dealership, within ninety (90) days following the effective date of
the termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, except a termination,
cancellation, or nonrenewal for a cause listed in paragraph 2 of
subsection C of this section, at the dealer or related entity's
written request, the manufacturer shall either:
        a.   locate a qualified purchaser who will offer to
             purchase the dealership facilities at a reasonable
             price,
        b.   locate a qualified lessee who will offer to lease the
             premises for the remaining lease term at the rent set
             forth in the lease, or
        c.   lease the dealership facilities at a reasonable rental
             value for the portion of the facility that is
             recognized in the franchise agreement for one and one-
             half (1.5) years, or
        d.   purchase the dealer's existing dealership facility and
             real estate at its fair market value. If the factory
             and dealer cannot agree on the fair market value of
             the terminated franchise or agree to a process to
             determine the fair market value, then the factory and
             dealer shall utilize the process described in
             paragraph 6 of subsection G of this section. If a
             manufacturer or distributor purchases a dealership
             facility and real estate, then it shall be entitled to
             sole ownership, possession, use, and control of any
ENR. S. B. NO. 604  Page 12
             items, buildings, or property that were included in
             the contract to purchase.
    3. If the facilities are leased by the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer from an entity other than a related
entity as defined in 26 U.S.C.A., Section 267(b), or a member,
partner, or shareholder of the dealership, within ninety (90) days
following the effective date of the termination, cancellation, or
nonrenewal the manufacturer will either:
        a.   locate a tenant or tenants satisfactory to the lessor,
             who will sublet or assume the balance of the lease,
        b.   arrange with the lessor for the cancellation of the
             lease without penalty to the new motor vehicle dealer,
             or
        c.   failing the foregoing, lease the dealership facilities
             at a reasonable rent for the portion of the facility
             that is recognized in the franchise agreement for one
             (1) year or the remainder of the lease, whichever is
             less.
    4. The manufacturer shall not be obligated to provide
assistance under this section if the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer:
        a.   fails to accept a bona fide offer from a prospective
             purchaser, sublessee, or assignee,
        b.   refuses to execute a settlement agreement with the
             manufacturer or lessor if such agreement with the

    G. In addition to the repurchase requirements set forth in
subsections E and F of this section, in the event the termination,
cancellation, or nonrenewal is the result of a discontinuance of a
product line, the manufacturer or distributor shall compensate the
new motor vehicle or new powersports vehicle dealer as follows:
    1. In an amount equivalent to the fair market value of the
terminated franchise as of the date immediately preceding the
manufacturer's or distributor's announcement or provide the new
motor vehicle dealer with a replacement franchise on substantially
similar terms and conditions as those offered to other same line-
make dealers;
    2. If the facilities are owned by the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer or a related entity as defined in 26
U.S.C.A., Section 267(b), or a member, partner, or shareholder of
the dealership, and the owner has not sold the existing dealership
facility and real estate within the later of one hundred eighty
(180) days of listing the property for sale or ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the termination, then, upon the written
request of the dealer, the manufacturer or distributor shall
purchase the dealer's existing dealership facility and real estate.
The facility and real estate shall be valued as if a new motor
vehicle or new powersports vehicle dealership continues to operate
on the property. If the factory and dealer cannot agree on the
value of the terminated franchise or agree to a process to determine
the value, then the factory and dealer shall utilize the process
described in paragraph 6 of this subsection. If a manufacturer or
distributor purchases a dealership facility and real estate, then it
shall be entitled to sole ownership, possession, use, and control of
any items, buildings, or property that were included in the contract
to purchase;
    3. If the facilities are leased by the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealer from an entity other than a related
entity as defined in 26 U.S.C.A., Section 267(b), or a member,
partner or shareholder of the dealership, lease the dealership
facilities at a reasonable rent for the remainder of the lease;
    4. Any amount of pecuniary loss to the new motor vehicle or new
powersports vehicle dealership proximately caused by the
ENR. S. B. NO. 604  Page 14
discontinuation of a product line, including, but not limited to,
the cost of terminating services such as the dealership management
system contract;
    5. The new motor vehicle or new powersports vehicle dealer may
immediately request payment under this section following the
announcement in exchange for canceling any further franchise rights,
except payments owed to the new motor vehicle or new powersports
vehicle dealer in the ordinary course of business, or may request
payment under this section upon the final termination, cancellation,
or nonrenewal of the franchise. In either case, payment under this
section shall be made not later than ninety (90) days after the fair
market value is determined, or the lease agreement is provided and
other reasonable documentation is provided to the manufacturer or
distributor sufficient to establish other pecuniary losses,
whichever is later; and
    6. If the factory and new motor vehicle or new powersports
vehicle dealer cannot agree on the value of the terminated franchise
or real estate, or agree to a process to determine the value, then,
within thirty (30) days of a written request by dealer, the factory
shall select one appraiser, and the dealer shall select one
appraiser who shall make an independent appraisal. The appraisers
will be state-certified general real estate appraisers and be in
good standing with the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraisal Board. Before
entering upon their duties, such appraisers shall take and subscribe
an oath, before a notary public or some other person authorized to
administer oaths, that they will perform their duties faithfully and
impartially to the best of their ability. If the appraisals are
within ten percent (10%) of each other, the average of the two
appraisals shall constitute the value. If the two appraisals differ
by more than ten percent (10%), the two appraisers may appoint a
third appraiser who shall review the two appraisals. The third
appraisal, when taken with the first two appraisals and averaged
among the three, shall establish the value. The cost of the third
appraiser shall be shared equally by the factory and dealer. The
appraisers shall make a valuation and determine the amount of
compensation to be paid by the factory to the dealer. The factory
will then have ninety (90) days to complete the transaction, unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties. The factory and the dealer
shall each be responsible for the appraiser it retains.
