"File Number"; "Filing Office"; "Filing-office Rule"; "Financing |
Statement"; "Fixture Filing"; "Manufactured-Home Transaction"; |
"New Debtor"; "Original Debtor"; "Public-Finance Transaction"; |
"Termination Statement"; "Transmitting Utility." These |
definitions are used exclusively or primarily in the filing- |
related provisions in Part 5. Most are self-explanatory and are |
discussed in the Comments to Part 5. A financing statement filed |
in a manufactured-home transaction or a public-finance |
transaction may remain effective for 30 years instead of the 5 |
years applicable to other financing statements. See Section 9- |
515(b) [Maine cite section 9-1515, subsection (2)]. The |
definitions relating to medium neutrality also are significant |
for the filing provisions. See Comment 9. |
