Section 9--508. Effectiveness of Financing Statement If New Debtor Becomes Bound by Security Agreement  


Latest version.
  • (a) Financing statement naming original debtor.  Except  as  otherwise
      provided in this section, a filed financing statement naming an original
      debtor  is  effective  to  perfect  a security interest in collateral in
      which a new debtor has  or  acquires  rights  to  the  extent  that  the
      financing  statement  would  have been effective had the original debtor
      acquired rights in the collateral.
        (b) Financing  statement  becoming  seriously   misleading.   If   the
      difference  between  the name of the original debtor and that of the new
      debtor causes a  filed  financing  statement  that  is  effective  under
      subsection (a) to be seriously misleading under Section 9--506:
             (1) the  financing  statement  is effective to perfect a security
                 interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor before, and
                 within four months after, the new debtor becomes bound  under
                 Section 9--203(d); and
             (2) the  financing  statement  is  not  effective  to  perfect  a
                 security interest in collateral acquired by  the  new  debtor
                 more  than  four  months  after  the new debtor becomes bound
                 under Section 9--203(d) unless an initial financing statement
                 providing the name of the new  debtor  is  filed  before  the
                 expiration of that time.
        (c) When  section  not  applicable.  This  section  does  not apply to
      collateral as to which a filed  financing  statement  remains  effective
      against the new debtor under Section 9--507(a).
