12.6. 1. At the designated hearing, consistent with applicable federal and state law, Franchisee shall be provided a fair opportunity for full participation, including the right to be represented by legal counsel, to introduce relevant evidence, to require the production of evidence consistent with applicable federal and state law, to compel the relevant testimony of persons as permitted by law, and to question and/or cross examine witnesses. A complete verbatim record and transcript shall be made of such hearing, the cost of which shall be shared by the Franchisee and the LFA. 12.6.2. Following the public hearing, Franchisee shall be provided up to thirty (30) days to submit its proposed findings and conclusions in writing and thereafter the LFA shall determine (i) whether an event of default has occurred; (ii) whether such event of default is excusable; and (iii) whether such event of default has been cured or will be cured by the Franchisee. The LFA shall also determine whether to revoke the Franchise based on the information presented, or, where applicable, grant additional time to the Franchisee to affect any cure. If the LFA determines that the Franchise shall be revoked, the LFA shall promptly provide Franchisee with a written decision setting forth its reasoning. Franchisee may appeal such determination of the LFA to an appropriate court. Franchisee shall be entitled to such relief as the court finds appropriate. Such appeal must be taken within sixty (60) days of Franchisee's receipt of the determination of the franchising authority. 12.6.3. The LFA may, at its sole discretion, take any lawful action which it deems appropriate to enforce the LFA's rights under the Franchise in lieu of revocation of the Franchise. 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 13.1. Actions of Parties: In any action by the LFA or Franchisee that is mandated or permitted under the terms hereof, such party shall act in a reasonable, expeditious, and timely manner. Furthermore, in any instance where approval or consent is required under the terms hereof, such approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 13.2. Binding Acceptance: This Agreement shall bind and benefit the parties hereto and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, administrators, executors, receivers, trustees, successors and assigns, and the promises and obligations herein shall survive the expiration date hereof. 13.3. Preemption: In the event that federal or state law, rules, or regulations preempt a provision or limit the enforceability of a provision of this Agreement, the provision shall be read to be preempted to the extent, and for the time, but only to the extent and for the time, required by law. In the event such federal or state law, rule or regulation is subsequently repealed, rescinded, amended or otherwise changed so that the provision hereof that had been preempted is no longer preempted, such provision shall thereupon return to full force and effect, and shall thereafter be binding on the parties hereto, without the requirement of further action on the part of the LFA.
