  • (2) Notice of cancellation shall be deemed to have been given when it is addressed to the distributor's or refiner's last known address, postage prepaid, and certified with a return receipt requested.
  • (3) Unless within 10 days after delivery of that notice of cancellation the dealer returns to the distributor or refiner any money, equipment or merchandise loaned, sold or delivered to the dealer and delivers up full possession of the business location to the distributor or refiner, that notice of cancellation shall be null and void ab initio.
