(b) If a customer:
(1) does not take possession of the particular die, mold, form, jig, or pattern within ninety (90) days after the date on which the notice was sent under subsection (a); or
(2) does not make other contractual arrangements with the fabricator for taking possession or for storage of the die, mold, form, jig, or pattern;
