                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REMEDIES (§ 59.1-358)

A. Jurisdiction to hear and determine cases and controversies arising under
provisions of this chapter shall be in the circuit court of the city or county
wherein the dealer has its principal place of business in Virginia. The court
may grant equitable relief as is necessary to remedy the effects of conduct
which it finds to exist and which is prohibited under this chapter, including,
but not limited to, declaratory judgment and injunctive relief.

B. In addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, if a
supplier has attempted or accomplished an annulment, cancellation, termination
or refused to continue or renew an agreement without good cause or withheld or
delayed consent in violation of &#xA7; 59.1-354 or &#xA7; 59.1-356, then the
dealer shall be entitled to recover losses and damages, both general and
special, proximately resulting therefrom, together with the cost of the action
and reasonable legal fees. Such damages shall include compensation for the value
of the agreement and the good will of the dealer&#8217;s business, if any,
arising therefrom.

C. Nothing contained herein shall bar the right of an agreement to provide for
binding arbitration of disputes. Any such arbitration shall be consistent with
the provisions of this chapter and Chapter 21 (&#xA7; 8.01-577 et seq.) of Title
8.01, and the place of any such arbitration shall be in the city or county in
which the dealer maintains his principal place of business in Virginia.

D. No supplier may cancel, terminate or refuse to continue to renew an agreement
during the 120-day period set forth in &#xA7; 59.1-355 or during the pendency of
litigation or arbitration with respect thereto except under the conditions set
forth in subsection D of &#xA7; 59.1-355.
