Should the goods subject to retention of title be resold after having been processed or be resold together with items not belonging to us or will be attached to a piece of property or removable objects, the claim of the purchaser against his customers to the amount of the delivery price as agreed between the purchaser and us is seen as having been ceded.

Due to the claims ceded to us, notes received by the purchaser are herewith surrendered to us and will be endorsed. The purchaser will keep safe said endorsed notes for us.
