1. The sole fact that the franchiser desires further penetration of the market.
2. The change of executive management of the distributor, unless the franchiser, having the burden of proof, proves that the change of executive management will be substantially detrimental to the distribution of the franchiser's motor fuels or special fuels in the area served by the distributor.
3. The sale or change of ownership of the distributor's business, unless the transfer of the distributor's license pursuant to chapter 452A is denied or the new owner is unable to obtain a license under chapter 452A.
