or misleading sales or financing practice. 2. Refuse to deliver an order of a dealer within 60 days after the order is received

any labor or production difficulty, or to any cause beyond the reasonable control

of the manufacturer or distributor. 3. Coerce, compel or otherwise require any dealer to pay over or to repay any amount

thereof from conducting a contest or other award program to recognize the performance

of a dealer based on reasonable criteria relating to sales, leases or service of vehicles.
