(2) Any provision of this chapter shall be finally adjudged by a court of law invalid or unenforceable and the City Commission further finds that such provision constitutes at that time a consideration material to the continuance of the franchise herein granted; or
(3) The franchisee becomes insolvent; unable, unwilling, or fails to pay its debts as such debts become due; or a custodian, receiver, trustee, or agent appointed or authorized to do so, is appointed or takes charge of less than substantially all or substantially all of the property of a franchisee for the purpose of enforcing any lien, whether judicial, execution, or otherwise; is the subject debtor of an order for relief entered by a Bankruptcy Court; or all or part of a franchisee's facilities be sold under an instrument to secure a debt and are not redeemed by franchisee within 30 days from the sale.

(C) No such revocation shall be effective unless or until the City Commission shall have adopted an ordinance setting forth the cause and reasons for the revocation and the effective date thereof, which ordinance shall not be adopted without 30 days prior notice thereof to the franchisee and a full opportunity offered to the franchisee to be heard upon the proposed adoption of that ordinance. The franchisee shall not be declared in default or be subject to any sanction under any provision of this contract in any case in which the performance of any such provision is prevented for reasons beyond its control.
