Where this section sits in the code

    (1) An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or

    indemnity, must be commenced within four (4) years after the cause of action

    accrued. By the original lease contract the parties may reduce the period of

    limitation to not less than one (1) year.

    (2) A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default

    or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved

    party, or when the default occurs, whichever is later. A cause of ac tion for

    indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is

    based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party, whichever is

    later.

    (3) If an action commenced within the time limited by subsection (1) is so termina ted

    as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of

    warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of

    the time limited and within six (6) months after the termination of the first action

    unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for

    failure or neglect to prosecute.

    (4) This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations nor does it

    apply to causes of action that have accrued before this article becomes effective.
