(2) Alter, or require the motor fuel retailer to consent to the alteration of, any provision of the motor fuel franchise during its effective term without mutual consent of the motor fuel retailer;
(3) Interfere with any motor fuel retailer's right to assistance of counsel on any matter or to join or be active in any trade association; and
