2         "(3) The successor manufacturer proves that it would
3     have had good cause to terminate the franchise agreement of
4     the former franchisee, or the successor of the former
5     franchisee under item (e)(10) in the event that the former
6     franchisee is deceased or disabled. The determination of
7     whether the successor manufacturer would have had good
8     cause to terminate the franchise agreement of the former
9     franchisee, or the successor of the former franchisee,
10     shall be made by the Board under subsection (d) of Section
11     12. A successor manufacturer that seeks to assert that it
12     would have had good cause to terminate a former franchisee,
13     or the successor of the former franchisee, must file a
14     petition seeking a hearing on this issue before the Board
15     and shall have the burden of proving that it would have had
16     good cause to terminate the former franchisee or the
17     successor of the former franchisee. No successor dealer,
18     other than the former franchisee, may be appointed or
19     franchised by the successor manufacturer within the
20     relevant market area of the former franchisee until the
21     Board has held a hearing and rendered a determination on
22     the issue of whether the successor manufacturer would have
23     had good cause to terminate the former franchisee."; and
