(c) Perfection of Security Interests.

(i) Obligor authorizes Secured Party (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Secured Party or its designee as the secured party and Obligor as debtor, as Secured Party may require, and including any other information with respect to Obligor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdictions as Secured Party may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on or after the date hereof.
