IMPORTANT NOTES

Effect of Amendment

  1. Party Changes:
    - Adding a debtor: Creates a new financing statement as to that debtor (UCC § 9-512(c))
    - Deleting a debtor: Financing statement ceases to be effective as to that debtor
    - Name changes: May require new filing if debtor's name becomes seriously misleading

  2. Collateral Changes:
    - Adding collateral: Perfection date for new collateral is amendment filing date
    - Deleting collateral: Releases security interest in that collateral
    - WARNING: Adding collateral starts new priority clock for that collateral

  3. Assignment:
    - Assignee becomes secured party of record
    - Assignee can authorize future amendments
    - Does not affect perfection or priority

Lapse Date NOT Extended

CRITICAL: An amendment (other than a continuation statement) does NOT extend the lapse date of the initial financing statement. The financing statement will still lapse 5 years from the ORIGINAL filing date unless a proper continuation statement is filed.

Multiple Amendments

If making multiple types of changes:
- File separate amendment forms for each type, OR
- Combine changes on one form where permitted, OR
- Consult with filing office for requirements
