Section 9503 - Name of debtor and secured party

     § 9503.  Name of debtor and secured party.
        (a)  Sufficiency of debtor's name.--A financing statement
     sufficiently provides the name of the debtor:
            (1)  If the debtor is a registered organization, only if
        the financing statement provides the name of the debtor
        indicated on the public record of the debtor's jurisdiction
        of organization which shows the debtor to have been
        organized.
            (2)  If the debtor is a decedent's estate, only if the
        financing statement provides the name of the decedent and
        indicates that the debtor is an estate.
            (3)  If the debtor is a trust or a trustee acting with
        respect to property held in trust, only if the financing
        statement:
                (i)  provides the name specified for the trust in its
            organic documents or, if no name is specified, provides
            the name of the settlor and additional information
            sufficient to distinguish the debtor from other trusts
            having one or more of the same settlors; and
                (ii)  indicates, in the debtor's name or otherwise,
            that the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with
            respect to property held in trust; and
            (4)  In other cases:
                (i)  if the debtor has a name, only if it provides
            the individual or organizational name of the debtor; and
                (ii)  if the debtor does not have a name, only if it
            provides the names of the partners, members, associates
            or other persons comprising the debtor.
        (b)  Additional debtor-related information.--A financing
     statement which provides the name of the debtor in accordance
     with subsection (a) is not rendered ineffective by the absence
     of:
            (1)  a trade name or other name of the debtor; or
            (2)  unless required under subsection (a)(4)(ii), names
        of partners, members, associates or other persons comprising
        the debtor.
        (c)  Debtor's trade name insufficient.--A financing statement
     which provides only the debtor's trade name does not
     sufficiently provide the name of the debtor.
        (d)  Representative capacity.--Failure to indicate the
     representative capacity of a secured party or representative of
     a secured party does not affect the sufficiency of a financing
     statement.
        (e)  Multiple debtors and secured parties.--A financing
     statement may provide the name of more than one debtor and the
     name of more than one secured party.
