greater than a fair share of the actual expenses; and (2) obtains either an original rider to the dealer's existing corporate surety bond
or an original corporate surety bond in compliance with the provisions of Section 66-4-7 NMSA 1978 to cover the proposed temporary off-site location and dates of sale. C. All temporary off-site locations shall be identified by prominently displayed signs
identifying the names of the New Mexico licensed dealers selling vehicles or vessels
