6. Amendments; Termination Statements Authorized by Debtor. Most amendments may not be filed unless the secured party of record, as determined under Section 9-511 [Maine cite section 9- 1511], authorizes the filing. See subsection (d)(1) [Maine cite subsection (4), paragraph (a)]. However, under subsection (d)(2) [Maine cite subsection 4, paragraph (b)], the authorization of the secured party of record is not required for the filing of a termination statement if the secured party of record failed to send or file a termination statement as required by Section 9-513 [Maine cite section 9-1513], the debtor authorizes it to be filed, and the termination statement so indicates.

7. Multiple Secured Parties of Record. Subsection (e) [Maine cite subsection (5)] deals with multiple secured parties of record. It permits each secured party of record to authorize the filing of amendments. However, Section 9-510(b) [Maine cite section 9-1510, subsection (2)] protects the rights and powers of one secured party of record from the effects of filings made by another secured party of record. See Section 9-510 [Maine cite section 9-1510], Comment 3.

8. Successor to Secured Party of Record. A person may succeed to the powers of the secured party of record by operation of other law, e.g., the law of corporate mergers. In that case, the successor has the power to authorize filings within the meaning of this section.
