For purposes of this section, publication or delivery of a notice of sale under the Uniform Commercial Code shall constitute the commencement of legal action to enforce or foreclose a lien granted under Section 1 of this act. Reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses incurred by the lien claimant to claim, enforce and foreclose the lien granted under Section 1 of this act shall be included in the amount secured by such lien. After five (5) years from the date the lien was filed, the county clerk of the county where the lien is filed shall remove the lien from the records.
