§ 467. Dealership facilities assistance upon termination, cancellation  or  nonrenewal. Upon a permitted termination, cancellation or nonrenewal  by the franchisor, unless such termination, cancellation  or  nonrenewal  is  for a reason or reasons set forth in subparagraph three of paragraph  (d) of subdivision two of  section  four  hundred  sixty-three  of  this  article,  the  franchisor  shall assume the obligations for any lease of  the dealership facilities or arrange for a new lease of  the  dealership  facilities  or  pay the dealer the lease payments for one year, whatever  is less, or negotiate a lease termination for the dealership  facilities  at  the  franchisor's  expense.  If  the  facilities  are  owned  by the  franchised motor vehicle dealer, the franchisor shall pay such dealer  a  sum equivalent to the reasonable rental value of the dealership facility  for  one  year,  provided  the  franchised  motor  vehicle  dealer shall  mitigate damages in the case of an owned facility.
