“2. [Glenside], by reason of [Exxon’s] prior carelessness, negligence, reckless, misrepresentations, undue influence and outrageous conduct, did lack capacity and was without volitional consent to renew its franchise relationship with defendant. 3. [Glenside] acting on compulsion of pressing need, did renew said franchise relationship with defendant. 5. [Glenside], as incapacitated party, now has the election to ratify its prior promise by remedying said alleged “deficient” performance or avoiding enforcement of its contractual obligations. 6. [Glenside] herein affirmatively elects to ratify its prior promise by remedying its “deficient” performance, in good faith, which remedied performance does not rise to the level of reasonable or material significance to the franchise relationship as contemplated by 15 USC 2801 et seq, amount to a failure to exercise good faith efforts, to carry out the provisions of said franchise relationship or constitute events which are relevant to the franchise permitting reasonable termination pursuant to 15 USC 2801 et seq.”
