The Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file or record any document necessary to perfect, continue, amend, or terminate its security interest in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any financing statements, including amendments, authorized to be filed under the UCC, without signature of the Grantor where permitted by law, including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral as all assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, or words of similar effect.
