property until the amount of said indebtedness is discharged. However, OWS or Trainer will not be
obligated to retain and/or maintain the horse(s) in question in the event amount of the bill exceeds the
anticipated unregistered value of the horse(s). In the event OWS or Trainer exercises lien rights as
above described for non-payment, this agreement shall constitute a Bill of Sale and authorization to
process transfer applications from any breed registration as may be applicable to said horse(s) upon
affidavit by OWS’s or Trainer’s representatives setting forth the material facts of the default and
foreclosure as well as OWS’s and Trainer’s compliance with foreclosure procedures as required by
