If the tenant-manager fails to perform his obligation to acquire within the conditions and time limits set by the plan, the court, ex officio or at the request of the liquidator or the public prosecutor, shall order the termination of the management lease contract and the cancellation of the plan without prejudice to any damages.
However, where the tenant-manager provides evidence that he is unable to acquire on the terms initially provided for for a reason not attributable to him, he may ask the court to amend those terms, except as regards the amount of the price and the period provided for in l’article L. 642-15. The court shall rule before the expiry of the lease contract and after obtaining the opinion of the public prosecutor and hearing or duly summoning the liquidator, the administrator where one has been appointed, the auditors, the person or persons appointed by the social and economic committee and any interested person.
