(2) the buyer has registered with the secretary of state as provided in section 336A.11, the buyer receives a notice from the secretary of state specifying that the seller and the farm products being sold are subject to a lien notice, and the buyer fails to secure a waiver or release of the farm products statutory lien specified in the lien notice by making a payment, satisfying an obligation, or otherwise.
