| To make the relevant information included in a filed record more | | accessible once the record is found, this section mandates a higher | | fee for longer written records than for shorter ones. Finally, | | recognizing that financing statements naming more than one debtor | | are most often filed against a husband and wife, any additional | | charge for multiple debtors applies to records filed with respect | | to more than two debtors, rather than with respect to more than | | one. |
