1. A franchisee who enters into a written franchise with a franchiser to maintain a stock of farm implements, motorcycles, autocycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, or related parts or attachments has the following rights to payment, at the option of the franchisee, if the franchise is terminated:

a. One hundred percent of the net cost of new, unused, complete farm implements, motorcycles, autocycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, or related attachments, which were purchased from the franchiser. In addition, the franchisee shall have a right of payment for transportation charges on the farm implements, motorcycles, autocycles, all-terrain vehicles, or snowmobiles, which have been paid by the franchisee.

b. Eighty-five percent of the net prices of any repair parts, including superseded parts, which were purchased from the franchiser and held by the franchisee on the date that the franchise terminated.

c. Five percent of the net prices of parts resold under paragraph "b" for handling, packing, and loading of the parts. However, this payment shall not be due to the franchisee if the franchiser elects to perform the handling, packing, and loading.

2. Upon receipt of the payments due under subsection 1, the franchiser is entitled to possession of and title to the farm implements, motorcycles, autocycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, or related parts or attachments.

3. The cost of farm implements, motorcycles, autocycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, or related attachments and the price of repair parts shall be determined by reference to the franchiser's price list or catalog in effect at the time of the franchise termination.
