2. The notice and right to cure provisions in this section shall not apply if the reason for termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal is for good cause as defined in section 407.1360.
3. A dealer may terminate its dealer agreement at any time by giving written notice of said intentions to the manufacturer at least ninety days prior to the effective date specified for termination.
