Paul McEachern", "committee": "Commerce and Consumer Affairs", "text": "This bill seeks to balance the playing field between motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle and RV) dealers and manufacturers. The manufacturer-dealer agreements are not negotiable by the dealers. SB 153 aims to ensure that a motor vehicle dealer is fairly and reasonably compensated for all work performed and that consumers are protected when vehicles have various manufacturers. With the recent economic conditions many dealerships are voluntarily terminating their dealership business, being terminated by their manufacturer, or finding their manufacturer ending lines like Pontiac, Saturn, Saab and Hummer. During the past 16 months, 16 franchised dealers closed their doors in New Hampshire. Many of those dealers were neither fairly nor timely compensated by the manufacturer for their operations, including the remaining inventory of vehicles and parts. On May 11th, 15 New Hampshire GM dealers will likely receive termination notices; this along with the loss of Chrysler dealers means the loss of approximately 1,000 jobs. This bill will provide those businesses a \"soft landing.\" It will allow a New Hampshire dealership to accurately assess the cost of transitioning to a used sales or service operation and know what it will be compensated for. The compensated items are those that are required by the manufacturer, including new cars, parts, signs, special tools and equipment. The \"soft landing\" provisions will most importantly save jobs for New Hampshire citizens who are employed at dealerships. When a dealership can accurately know the cost of scaling back operations, it can transition to a used car operation that can still service customers, provide community benefit and keep people employed. Vote 15-0. 2009-1512h Amendment to SB 153 Proposed by the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Affairs Amend RSA 357-C:5, II(b)(3) as inserted by section 5 of the bill by replacing it with the following: (3) The wholesale price on which a dealer's markup reimbursement is based for any parts used in a recall, service campaign, or other similar program, shall not be less than the highest wholesale price listed in the manufacturer's or distributor's wholesale price catalogue within 6 months prior to the start of the recall, service campaign, or other similar program. If the manufacturer or distributor does not have a wholesale price catalogue, or if the part is not listed in a wholesale price catalogue, the wholesale price on 1 which a dealer's markup reimbursement is based in a recall, service campaign, or other similar program shall be the average price charged to dealers of similar line makes in the state for the part during 6 months prior to the start of the recall, service campaign, or other similar program. In no event shall a dealer receive less than the dealer's actual cost for that part, plus the markup as calculated pursuant to this subparagraph. Amend RSA 357-C:6-a, II(b) and (c) as inserted by section 8 of the bill by replacing them with the following: (b) Require a dealer to warrant or guarantee the accuracy and completeness of any personal, financial, or credit information provided by the customer on the credit application and/or in the course of applying for credit other than to require that the dealer make reasonable inquiry regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information and represent that such information is true and correct to the best of the dealer's knowledge. (c) Require a dealer to repurchase, pay off, or guaranty any contract for the sale or lease of a motor vehicle or to require a dealer to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the captive finance source for settlements, judgments, damages, litigation expenses, or other costs or expenses incurred by such captive finance source unless the obligation to repurchase, pay off, guaranty, indemnify, or hold harmless resulted directly from (i) the subject dealer's material breach of the terms of a written agreement with the captive finance source or the terms for the purchase of an individual contract for sale or lease that the captive finance source communicates to the dealer before each such purchase, except to the extent the breached terms are otherwise prohibited under subparagraphs (a)-(h), or (ii) the subject dealer's violation of applicable law. However, for purposes of this section, the dealer may contractually obligate itself to warrant the accuracy of the information provided in the finance contract, but such warranty may only be enforced if the captive finance source gives the dealer a reasonable opportunity to cure or correct any errors in the finance contract where cure or correction is possible. For purposes of this section, any allegation by a third party that would constitute a breach of the terms of a written agreement between the dealer and a captive finance source shall be considered a material breach. Amend RSA 357-C:6-a, IV-VII as inserted by section 8 of the bill by replacing them with the following: IV. Any captive finance source who engages directly or indirectly in purposeful contacts within this state in connection with the offering or advertising the availability of financing for the sale or lease of motor vehicles within this state, or who has business dealings within this state, shall be subject to the provisions of this section and shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state. V. The applicability of this section shall not be affected by a choice of law clause in any agreement, waiver, novation, or any other written instrument. VI. It shall be unlawful for a captive finance source to use any subsidiary corporation, affiliated corporation, or any other controlled corporation, partnership, association, or person to accomplish what would otherwise be illegal conduct under this section on the part of the captive finance source. Amend RSA 357-C:7, VI(a) as inserted by section 13 of the bill by replacing it with the following: (a) The dealer cost plus any charges by the manufacturer, distributor, or branch or division thereof for distribution, delivery, and taxes paid by the dealer, less all allowances paid to the dealer by the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, for new, unsold, undamaged and complete motor vehicles in the dealer's inventory that have original invoices bearing original dates within 24 months prior to the effective date of termination with less than 750 miles on the odometer, and insurance costs, and floor plan costs from the effective date of the termination to the date that the vehicles are removed from dealership or the date the floor plan finance company is paid, whichever occurs last. Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 14,000 shall be exempt from the 750 mile limitation. Motorcycles shall be subject to a 350 mile limitation. All vehicles shall have been acquired from the manufacturer or another same line-make vehicle dealer in the ordinary course of business. Amend RSA 357-C:7, VIII as inserted by section 13 of the bill by replacing it with the following: VIII. Within 90 days of a termination or nonrenewal, with good cause and in good faith, the manufacturer or distributor of any franchise, or any branch or division thereof, and notwithstanding any terms therein to the contrary, the manufacturer, distributor, or branch or division thereof shall pay to the new motor vehicle dealer the amount remaining to be paid on any leases of computer hardware or software that is used to manage and report data to the manufacturer or distributor for 2 financial reporting requirements and the amount remaining to be paid on any manufacturer or distributor required equipment leases or service contracts, including but not limited to computer hardware and software leases. 3"}], "source": "House Calendar 34A, 2009", "date": "2009-05-01", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 34A", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2009%5CNo%2034a%20May%201%202009.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2009-04-02", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 18", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2009%5CNo%2018%20April%202%202009.pdf"}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Motor Vehicles", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Commerce and Consumer Affairs", "senate_committee": "Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection", "lsr": "2009-555", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=555&sy=2009&txtsessionyear=2009&txtbillnumber=sb153&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=555&sy=2009&txtsessionyear=2009&txtbillnumber=sb153&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=555&sy=2009&txtsessionyear=2009&txtbillnumber=sb153&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 14", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2009%5CNo%2014%20March%205%202009.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 18", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2009%5CNo%2018%20April%202%202009.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 34A", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2009%5CNo%2034a%20May%201%202009.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [{"num": "1208s", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2009-04-08", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1512h", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2009-05-06", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1541", "kind": "Enrolled Bill Amendment", "where": "enrolment", "date": "2009-05-06", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}], "billtext": {"version": "Final version", "title": "", "analysis": "This bill amends requirements for operating or closing a motor vehicle franchise.", "body": "04/08/09 1208s\n\n06May2009... 1512h\n\n05/06/09 1541eba\n\nBe it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:\n\n20:1 Definition of Manufacturer.

Amend RSA 357-C:3, III by inserting after subparagraph (o) the following new subparagraphs:\n\n(p) Require a motor vehicle franchisee to agree to a term or condition in a franchise, or in any lease related to the operation of the franchise or agreement ancillary or collateral to a franchise, as a condition to the offer, grant, or renewal of the franchise, lease, or agreement, which:\n\n(1) Requires the motor vehicle franchisee to waive trial by jury in actions involving the motor vehicle franchisor;\n\n(2) Specifies the jurisdictions, venues, or tribunals in which disputes arising with respect to the franchise, lease, or agreement shall or shall not be submitted for resolution or otherwise prohibits a motor vehicle franchisee from bringing an action in a particular forum otherwise available under the law of this state;\n\n(3) Requires that disputes between the motor vehicle franchisor and motor vehicle franchisee be submitted to arbitration or to any other binding alternate dispute resolution procedure; provided, however, that any franchise, lease, or agreement may authorize the submission of a dispute to arbitration or to binding alternate dispute resolution if the motor vehicle franchisor and motor vehicle franchisee voluntarily agree to submit the dispute to arbitration or binding alternate dispute resolution at the time the dispute arises;\n\n(4) Provides that in any administrative or judicial proceeding arising from any dispute with respect to the aforesaid agreements that the franchisor shall be entitled to recover its costs, reasonable attorney\u2019s fees and other expenses of litigation from the franchisee; or\n\n(5) Grants the manufacturer an option to purchase the franchise, or real estate, or business assets of the franchisee.\n\n(q) Fail or refuse to sell or offer to sell to all motor vehicle franchisees of a line make, all models manufactured for that line make, or requiring a dealer to pay any extra fee, execute a separate franchise agreement, purchase unreasonable advertising displays or other materials, or relocate, expand, improve, remodel, renovate, recondition, or alter the dealer\u2019s existing facilities, or provide exclusive facilities as a prerequisite to receiving a model or series of vehicles. However, a manufacturer may require reasonable improvements to the existing facility that are necessary to service special or unique features of a specific model or line. The failure to deliver any such motor vehicle shall not be considered a violation of this subparagraph if the failure is due to a lack of manufacturing capacity, a strike or labor difficulty, a shortage of materials, a freight embargo, or other cause over which the franchisor has no control.\n\n(r) Provide any term or condition in any lease or other agreement ancillary or collateral to a franchise which term or condition directly or indirectly violates this title.\n\n(s) In the event of a proposed sale or transfer of a new motor vehicle dealership involving the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the ownership interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of the dealership, where the franchise agreement for the dealership contains a right of first refusal in favor of the manufacturer or distributor, then notwithstanding the terms of the franchise agreement, the manufacturer or distributor shall be permitted to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire the dealership\u2019s assets only if all of the following requirements are met:\n\n(1) The manufacturer or distributor notifies the dealer in writing of its intent to exercise its right of first refusal within 45 days of receiving notice from the franchisee of the proposed sale or transfer.\n\n(2) The exercise of the right of first refusal will result in the dealer and dealer\u2019s owners receiving the same or greater consideration as they have contracted to receive in connection with the proposed change of all or substantially all ownership or transfer of all or substantially all dealership assets. In that regard, the following shall apply:\n\n(A) The manufacturer or distributor shall have the right to and shall assume the dealer\u2019s lease for, or acquire the real property on which the franchise is conducted, on the same terms as those on which the real property or lease was to be sold or transferred to the proposed new owner in connection with the sale of the franchise, unless otherwise agreed to by the dealer and manufacturer or distributor. The manufacturer or distributor shall have the right to assign the lease or to convey the real property.\n\n(B) The manufacturer or distributor shall assume all of the duties, obligations, and liabilities contained in the agreements that were to be assumed by the proposed new owner and with respect to which the manufacturer or distributor exercised the right of first refusal, including the duty to honor all time deadlines in the underlying agreements, provided that the manufacturer or distributor has knowledge of such obligations at the time of the exercise of the right of first refusal. Failure by an assignee of the manufacturer or distributor to discharge such obligations shall be deemed a failure by the manufacturer or distributor under this subparagraph.\n\n(3) The proposed change of all or substantially all ownership or transfer of all or substantially all dealership assets does not involve the transfer of assets or the transfer or issuance of stock by the dealer or one or more dealer owners to any of the following:\n\n(A) A designated family member or members including any of the following members of one or more dealer owners:\n\n(i) The spouse.\n\n(ii) A child.\n\n(iii) A grandchild.\n\n(iv) The spouse of a child or a grandchild.\n\n(v) A sibling.\n\n(vi) A parent.\n\n(B) A manager:\n\n(i) Employed by the dealer in the dealership during the previous 2 years; and\n\n(ii) Who is otherwise qualified as a dealer operator.\n\n(C) A partnership or corporation controlled by any of the family members described in subparagraph (A).\n\n(D) A trust arrangement established or to be established:\n\n(i) For the purpose of allowing the new vehicle dealer to continue to qualify as such under the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s standards; or\n\n(ii) To provide for the succession of the franchise agreement to designated family members or qualified management in the event of the death or incapacity of the dealer or its principal owner or owners.\n\n(4) The manufacturer or distributor agrees in writing to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney fees which do not exceed the usual, customary, and reasonable fees charged for similar work done for other clients, incurred by the proposed new owner and transferee prior to the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s exercise of its right of first refusal in negotiating and implementing the contract for the proposed change of all or substantially all ownership or transfer of all or substantially all dealership assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment of such expenses and attorney fees shall be required if the dealer has not submitted or caused to be submitted an accounting of those expenses within 30 days of the dealer\u2019s receipt of the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s written request for such an accounting. Such an accounting may be requested by a manufacturer or distributor before exercising its right of first refusal.\n\n(5) The manufacturer or distributor shall pay any fees and expenses of the motor vehicle dealer arising on and after the date the manufacturer or distributor gives notice of the exercise of its right of first refusal, and incurred by the motor vehicle dealer as a result of alterations to documents, or additional appraisals, valuations, or financial analyses caused or required of the dealer by the manufacturer or distributor to consummate the contract for the sale of the dealership to the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s proposed transferee, that would not have been incurred but for the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s exercise of its right of first refusal. These expenses and fees shall be paid by the manufacturer or distributor to the dealer and to the dealer\u2019s proposed purchaser or transferee on or before the closing date of the sale of the dealership to the manufacturer or distributor if the party entitled to reimbursement has submitted or caused to be submitted to the manufacturer or distributor, an accounting of these expenses and fees within 30 days after receipt of the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s written request for the accounting.\n\n(t) Require, coerce, or attempt to coerce any new motor vehicle dealer to purchase or order any new motor vehicle as a precondition to purchasing, ordering, or receiving any other new motor vehicle or vehicles. Nothing in this subparagraph shall prevent a manufacturer from requiring that a new motor vehicle dealer fairly represent and inventory the full line of new motor vehicles that are covered by the franchise agreement.\n\n20:5 Warranty Obligations. Amend RSA 357-C:5, II(b) to read as follows:\n\n(b) (1) In no event shall a schedule of compensation for parts, work, and service in connection with warranty services fail to include reasonable compensation for diagnostic work, as well as repair service and labor. Time allowances for the diagnosis and performance of warranty work and service shall be reasonable and adequate for the work to be performed. In no event shall any manufacturer, component manufacturer, or distributor pay its dealers an amount of money for warranty work that is less than that charged by the dealer to the retail customers of the dealer for non-warranty work of like kind. No claim which has been approved and paid by the manufacturer or distributor may be charged back to the dealer unless it can be shown that the claim was false or fraudulent, that the repairs were not properly made or were unnecessary to correct the defective condition, or that the dealer failed to reasonably substantiate that the claim was in accordance with the written requirements of the manufacturer or distributor in effect at the time the claim arose.\n\n(2) In no event shall a manufacturer or component manufacturer fail to pay a dealer reasonable compensation for parts or components, including assemblies, used in warranty or recall repairs.\n\n(3) The wholesale price on which a dealer\u2019s markup reimbursement is based for any parts used in a recall, service campaign, or other similar program, shall not be less than the highest wholesale price listed in the manufacturer\u2019s or distributor\u2019s wholesale price catalogue within 6 months prior to the start of the recall, service campaign, or other similar program. If the manufacturer or distributor does not have a wholesale price catalogue, or if the part is not listed in a wholesale price catalogue, the wholesale price on which a dealer\u2019s markup reimbursement is based in a recall, service campaign, or other similar program shall be the average price charged to dealers of similar line makes in the state for the part during 6 months prior to the start of the recall, service campaign, or other similar program. In no event shall a dealer receive less than the dealer\u2019s actual cost for that part, plus the markup as calculated pursuant to this subparagraph.\n\n20:6 Indemnification. Amend RSA 357-C:5, II(d)(3) to read as follows:\n\n(3) A manufacturer, distributor, branch, or division shall retain the right to audit all incentive and reimbursement programs for a period of [ 2 years] one year after the date on which the claim is paid or one year from the end of a program that does not exceed one year, whichever is later, and charge back any amounts paid on claims that are false or unsubstantiated.\n\n20:7 New Subparagraphs; Indemnification. Amend RSA 357-C:5, II(d) by inserting after subparagraph (6) the following new subparagraphs:\n\n(7) If the franchise agreement between a manufacturer, distributor, branch, or division is terminated for any reason, any audit pursuant to this section shall be completed no later than 30 days after the effective date of the termination.\n\n(8) Notwithstanding the terms of any franchise or agreement, a manufacturer, distributor, branch, or division shall not take or threaten to take any adverse action against a motor vehicle dealer, including charge backs, reducing vehicle allocations, or terminating or threatening to terminate a franchise or agreement because the dealer sold or leased a motor vehicle to a customer who exported the vehicle to a foreign country, unless the motor vehicle dealer knew or reasonably should have known that the customer intended to export the vehicle. There shall be a presumption that the motor vehicle dealer did not know or could not have reasonably known if the vehicle is titled or registered in any state in this country.\n\n20:8 New Section; Prohibited Contractual Requirements Imposed by Manufacturer, Distributor, or Captive Finance Source. Amend RSA 357-C by inserting after section 6 the following new section:\n\n357-C:6-a Prohibited Contractual Requirements Imposed by Manufacturer, Distributor, or Captive Finance Source.\n\nI. In this section, \u201ccaptive finance source\u201d means any financial source that provides automotive-related loans or purchases retail installment contracts or lease contracts for motor vehicles in New Hampshire and is, directly or indirectly, owned, operated, or controlled by such manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, or distributor branch.\n\nII. It shall be unlawful for any manufacturer, factory branch, captive finance source, distributor, or distributor branch, or any field representative, officer, agent, or any representative of them, notwithstanding the terms, provisions, or conditions of any agreement or franchise, to require any of its franchised dealers located in this state to agree to any terms, conditions, or requirements in subparagraphs (a)-(h) in order for any such dealer to sell to any captive finance source any retail installment contract, loan, or lease of any motor vehicles purchased or leased by any of the dealer\u2019s customers, or to be able to participate in, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, obtain the benefits of any consumer transaction incentive program payable to the consumer or the dealer and offered by or through any captive finance source:\n\n(a) Require a dealer to grant such captive finance source a power of attorney to do anything on behalf of the dealer other than sign the dealer\u2019s name on any check, draft, or other instrument received in payment or proceeds under any contract for the sale or lease of a motor vehicle that is made payable to the dealer but which is properly payable to the captive finance source, is for the purpose of correcting an error in a customer\u2019s finance application or title processing document, or is for the purpose of processing regular titling of the vehicle.\n\n(b) Require a dealer to warrant or guarantee the accuracy and completeness of any personal, financial, or credit information provided by the customer on the credit application and/or in the course of applying for credit other than to require that the dealer make reasonable inquiry regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information and represent that such information is true and correct to the best of the dealer\u2019s knowledge.\n\n(c) Require a dealer to repurchase, pay off, or guaranty any contract for the sale or lease of a motor vehicle or to require a dealer to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the captive finance source for settlements, judgments, damages, litigation expenses, or other costs or expenses incurred by such captive finance source unless the obligation to repurchase, pay off, guaranty, indemnify, or hold harmless resulted directly from (i) the subject dealer\u2019s material breach of the terms of a written agreement with the captive finance source or the terms for the purchase of an individual contract for sale or lease that the captive finance source communicates to the dealer before each such purchase, except to the extent the breached terms are otherwise prohibited under subparagraphs (a)-(h), or (ii) the subject dealer\u2019s violation of applicable law. However, for purposes of this section, the dealer may contractually obligate itself to warrant the accuracy of the information provided in the finance contract, but such warranty may only be enforced if the captive finance source gives the dealer a reasonable opportunity to cure or correct any errors in the finance contract where cure or correction is possible. For purposes of this section, any allegation by a third party that would constitute a breach of the terms of a written agreement between the dealer and a captive finance source shall be considered a material breach.\n\n(d) Notwithstanding the terms of any contract or agreement, treat a dealer\u2019s breach of an agreement between the dealer and a captive finance source with respect to the captive finance source\u2019s purchase of individual contracts for the sale or lease of a motor vehicle as a breach of such agreement with respect to purchase of other such contracts, nor shall such a breach in and of itself, constitute a breach of any other agreement between the dealer and the captive finance source, or between the dealer and any affiliate of such captive finance source.\n\n(e) Require a dealer to waive any defenses that may be available to it under its agreements with the captive finance source or under any applicable laws.\n\n(f) Require a dealer to settle or contribute any of its own funds or financial resources toward the settlement of any multiparty or class action litigation without obtaining the dealer\u2019s voluntary and written consent subsequent to the filing of such litigation.\n\n(g) Require a dealer to contribute to any reserve or contingency account established or maintained by the captive finance source, for the financing of the sale or lease of any motor vehicles purchased or leased by any of the dealer\u2019s customers, in any amount or on any basis other than the reasonable expected amount of future finance reserve chargebacks to the dealer\u2019s account. This section shall not apply to or limit:\n\n(1) Reasonable amounts reserved and maintained related to the sale or financing of any products ancillary to the sale, lease, or financing of the motor vehicle itself;\n\n(2) A delay or reduction in the payment of dealer\u2019s portion of the finance income pursuant to an agreement between the dealer and a captive finance source under which the dealer agrees to such delay or reduction in exchange for the limitation, reduction, or elimination of the dealer\u2019s responsibility for finance reserve chargebacks; or\n\n(3) A chargeback to a dealer, or offset of any amounts otherwise payable to a dealer by the captive finance source, for any indebtedness properly owing from a dealer to the captive finance source as part of a specific program covered by this section, the terms of which have been agreed to by the dealer in advance, except to the extent such chargeback would otherwise be prohibited by this section.\n\n(h) Require a dealer to repossess or otherwise gain possession of a motor vehicle at the request of or on behalf of the captive finance source. This section shall not apply to any requirements contained in any agreement between the dealer and the captive finance source wherein the dealer agrees to receive and process vehicles that are voluntarily returned by the customer or returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term.\n\nIII. Any clause or provision in any franchise or agreement between a dealer and a manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, or distributor branch, or between a dealer and any captive finance source, that is in violation of or that is inconsistent with any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed null and void and without force and effect to the extent it violates this section.\n\nIV. Any captive finance source who engages directly or indirectly in purposeful contacts within this state in connection with the offering or advertising the availability of financing for the sale or lease of motor vehicles within this state, or who has business dealings within this state, shall be subject to the provisions of this section and shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state.\n\nV. The applicability of this section shall not be affected by a choice of law clause in any agreement, waiver, novation, or any other written instrument.\n\nVI. It shall be unlawful for a captive finance source to use any subsidiary corporation, affiliated corporation, or any other controlled corporation, partnership, association, or person to accomplish what would otherwise be illegal conduct under this section on the part of the captive finance source.\n\n20:9 Limitations on Cancellations, Terminations, and Nonrenewals.
