UCC
A UCC is simply a lien on the property it specifies and must have an underlying Security
Agreement to be valid. We have found that some states, such as California, where
people had difficulty recording in the past, do not balk at recording a properly completed
UCC that includes a Security Agreement evidencing that there is a real lien. Filing a
UCC-1 does not "perfect" a lien just because you file it. Read the Whittier Law Brief
where it discusses the differences between a perfected and an unperfected UCC-1
filing. Also note that a perfected UCC-1 lien takes priority over a warranty lien that a
mortgage company records in the county. But, to achieve that priority, the UCC-1 must
be recorded in the county and filed in the state.
Some conventions used in this document
Throughout this file, you will see information presented in two different fonts and colors.
Instruction pages will use the Arial (san serif/without curves) font and navy blue as the
color (this page uses this font and color). The information on the instruction pages will
be educational in nature and, most of the time, will contain instructions to follow or tasks
to perform.
Instructions will generally not be mixed with the document pages; but, if it is necessary
to mix them, the font and text color conventions will be followed. So, if there are
instructions imbedded in a document page or highlighted text, you will need to delete
the instructions and remove the highlighting before printing the final version of the
document page.
Document (contacts, affidavits, etc) pages use Times Roman (serif/with curves) font and in
black ink. You will customize the document pages and then do something with them,
such as mail or record them.
Please “Print Preview” your documents before you print them. This is especially
important if you have substantial personal information you have added to a document,
such as many other names. Also, some printers will not let you print closer to the
margin than .55 inches. Feel free to adjust the margins if your printer will not
accommodate the current spacing.
The Redemption Process
The purpose of this file is to create a set of documents to aid you in the redemption
process. Redemption is where you will take back control of your straw man. This
process is currently broken down into steps. All of the items and activities within a step
will generally be performed on one or two days. Within this file, the beginning of each
step will start with instructions and/or educational material for that step. The step will be
identified with large bold red text giving the step number. Some steps may have sub-
steps. Sub-step instructions will begin with the sub-step number in bold red text, e.g.
Step 1b.
This non-negotiable and non-transferable Security Agreement supplements and controls previous such agreements between
the same Parties, and is made and entered this ____ day of________________, 2003 by and between <Strawman>
hereinafter “Debtor” (<birth-state> <birth-doc-name> # <BirthCertNum> and Organization # <SSN>), and <TrueName>
hereinafter “Secured Party”, Creditor Identification #<EIN>. The Parties acknowledge they agree to be bound by the terms
of this Commercial Security Agreement and are identified as follows:
DEBTOR: SECURED PARTY:
<Strawman>, a Legal Entity <TrueName>, a <Sex>
<ADDRESS1> c/o <Address1>
<CITY>, <RESSTATE> <Zip> <City>, <ResState> <Zip>

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
Debtor hereby grants Secured Party, who deems himself insecure, a security interest in the Collateral described generally
herein or specifically on attached Schedule(s), hereinafter referred to as “Collateral”, to secure all Debtor’s property, as well
as all income from every source, and all direct and indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, presumed or actual, parol or expressed public indebtedness and liabilities held by Debtor, to Secured Party
in consideration for Secured Party providing certain things and accommodations for Debtor including, but not limited to:
1. the Secured Party constituting the source, initial description, origin, substance, labor, sentient existence, exercise
of faculties for, and being the basis from which the existence of the Debtor was derived, and the basis upon which
the Debtor is able to act as an agent to interact, contract, and exchange goods, services, obligations, and liabilities
in commerce with other artificial entities, and is able to function as a transmitting utility through traffic, i.e.
serving as a pipeline for the transmission of goods, services, chattel property, and papers in commercial activity;
2. the Secured Party signing by accommodation as the authorized representative of the Debtor, without immediate
consideration, for the Debtor, in all cases whatsoever where the signature of the Debtor is, will or has been
required, will retain the right to make sufficient claims to secure such indebtedness until satisfied in whole;
3. the Secured Party issuing a binding commitment to extend credit or to extend immediately available credit,
whether or not drawn upon and whether or not reimbursed in the event of difficulties in collection; and
4. the Secured Party providing the security for payment of all sums due or owing, or to become due or owing, by the
Debtor on every public contract entered by the Debtor.
Debtor declares it is a legal entity recognized as such, and has rights and privileges recognized under the laws of the United
States, as has been the case since its creation in <BirthYear>. All legal means to protect the security interest being
established by this Agreement, nunc pro tunc from <DOB>, will be used by the Debtor when necessary; and all support
needed by the Secured Party to protect his security interest in the collateral identified herein, will be provided by the Debtor.
Execution of this Security Agreement incorporates a promise that the Debtor will execute such commercial forms, including
but not limited to such Financing Statements as may be necessary, to assure the Secured Party’s interest is perfected. The
security interest established by this Agreement will continue until the Secured Party is relieved of all liability associated with
said services provided to the Debtor, and until all owing and due consideration to the Secured Party has been delivered,
regardless of whether the Collateral identified in this Agreement is in the possession of the Debtor or the Secured Party.
Debtor warrants that Secured Party’s claim against the Collateral is enforceable according to the terms and conditions
expressed therein, and according to all applicable laws promulgated for the purpose of protecting the interests of a creditor
against a debtor. Debtor also warrants that it holds good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all actual and
lawful liens and encumbrances except for the interest established herein, and except for such substantial interest as may have
been privately established by agreement of the parties with full attention to the elements necessary to establish a valid
contract under international contract law. Public encumbrances belonging to the Debtor, against the Collateral, shall remain
secondary to this Agreement, unless registered prior to the registration of Secured Party’s interest in the same Collateral, as is
well-established in international commercial law. Debtor specifically authorizes Secured Party to file such legal notices as he
deems necessary to secure his interest in the collateral.
For valuable consideration, Debtor hereby expressly agrees and covenants, without benefit of discussion, and without
division, that Debtor holds harmless and undertakes the indemnification of Secured Party, nunc pro tunc <dob>, from and
against any and all claims, legal actions, orders, warrants, judgments, demands, liabilities, losses, depositions, summonses,
lawsuits, costs, fines, liens, levies, penalties, damages, interests, and expenses whatsoever, both absolute and contingent, as
Private and non-negotiable between the parties Page __ of 4

are due and as might become due, now existing and as might hereafter arise, and as might be suffered/incurred by, as well as
imposed on Debtor for any reason, purpose and cause whatsoever.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Possession of Collateral: Collateral or evidence of Collateral may remain in the possession of the Debtor, to be kept at the
address given in this Agreement by the Debtor or such other place(s) approved by Secured Party, and notice of changes in
location must be made to the Secured Party within ten (10) days of such relocation. Debtor agrees not to otherwise remove
the Collateral except as is expected in the ordinary course of business, including sale of inventory, exchange, and other
acceptable reasons for removal. When in doubt as to the legal ramifications for relocation, Debtor agrees to acquire prior
written authorization from the Secured Party. Debtor may possess all tangible personal property included in Collateral, and
have beneficial use of all other Collateral, and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, except
that Debtor’s right to possession and beneficial use may also apply to Collateral that is in the possession of the Secured Party
if such possession is required by law to perfect Secured Party’s interest in such Collateral. If Secured Party, at any time, has
possession of any part of the Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Secured Party shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral, if Secured Party takes such action for that purpose
as deemed appropriate by the Secured Party under the circumstances.
Proceeds and Products from Collateral: Unless waived by Secured Party, all proceeds and products from the disposition of
the Collateral, for whatever reason, shall be held in trust for Secured Party and shall not be commingled with any other
accounts or funds without the consent of the Secured Party. Notice of such proceeds shall be delivered to Secured Party
immediately upon receipt. Except for inventory sold or accounts collected in the ordinary course of Debtor’s public business,
Debtor agrees not to sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral, nor to pledge, mortgage, encumber,
or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to a lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security
interested established by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
Maintenance of Collateral: Debtor agrees to maintain all tangible Collateral in good condition and repair, and not to commit
or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the Collateral. Secured Party and his designated
representatives and agents shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the Collateral wherever
located. Debtor shall immediately notify Secured Party of all cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss, or
damage of or to the Collateral; of all requests for credit or adjustment of Collateral, or dispute(s) arising with respect to the
Collateral; and generally of all happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or the amount of the Collateral.
Compliance with Law: Debtor shall comply promptly with all laws, ordinances, and regulations of all governmental
authorities applicable to the production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Debtor may contest in good faith any such law,
ordinance, or regulation without compliance during a proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Secured Party’s
interest in the Collateral, in Secured Party’s opinion, is not jeopardized. Secured Party may, at his option, intervene in any
situation that appears to place the Collateral in jeopardy.
Public Disputes: Debtor agrees to pay all applicable taxes, assessments and liens upon the Collateral when due, provided that
such taxes, assessments and liens are proved to be superior to the lawful claim established by this Agreement and
subsequently perfected by the Secured Party by appropriate registration. In the event Debtor elects to dispute such taxes,
assessments and liens, Secured Party’s interest must be protected at all times, at the sole opinion of the Secured Party, who
may, at his option, intervene in any situation that appears to jeopardize Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral. Debtor may
elect to continue pursuit of dispute of such taxes, assessments, and liens, only upon production of a surety bond by public
claimant(s), in favor of the Secured Party, sufficient to protect Secured Party from loss, including all costs and fees associated
with such dispute. Should public judgment against the Debtor result from such dispute, Debtor agrees to satisfy such
judgment from its accounts established and managed by the United States or its subdivisions, agents, officers, or affiliates, so
as not to adversely affect the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Amendments: This Agreement, together with all related documents, present and future, constitutes the entire understanding
and agreement of the Parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement
shall be effective unless expressed in writing and signed by both Parties.
Applicable Law: The governing law of this Agreement is the agreement of the Parties, supported by the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted by the legislature of the State of <ResState>, international contract law, the unwritten Law Merchant as
practiced before the Uniform Commercial Code was promulgated, and applicable maxims of law.
Expenses: Debtor agrees to pay upon demand, from such accounts as Debtor may have, all Secured Party’s costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by the Secured Party to defend or enforce the
provisions of this Agreement.
Indebtedness: The word “indebtedness” means the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement as a claim against the Debtor
and all its present and future possessions identified in this Agreement as Collateral and all public obligations, debts and
liabilities ascribed to Debtor through its contracts and agreements, whether expressed or implied, known or unknown, or
actual or constructive, that are with the United States or its subdivisions, agents, officers, affiliates or other public entities;
and all claims made by Secured Party against Debtor, whether existing now or in the future, whether they are voluntary or
involuntary, due or not due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, regardless of whether Debtor
is or may be liable individually or jointly, or is obligated as, or beneficiary of, a surety or accommodation party.

Step 1f.1 - File your UCC-1 by mail
Follow these steps to file by mail.
1. Use the Sister States web site, http://www.sisterstates.com/, the above list of web sites or
an Internet search engine to find the web site for the secretary of state in your state(s).
2. The SOS’s web site will likely have the UCC-1 and UCC-1Ad forms. The forms are usually
in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format. Download and save them on your computer.
3. Use information on the “Data for UCC-1 Form” to guide you in filling out the form. You can
use the “copy and paste” function on your computer to ensure you have entered the data
correctly on the form. Many of the PDF forms can be edited (typed on) using Adobe
Acrobat Reader. However, you will not be able to save the modifications unless you have
purchased the full Adobe Acrobat version. If you are unable to save your changes, you can
use the form to enter your information and then print the form out. On line 8, put “Debtor”
on the left side and “Secured Party” in the middle (as shown in the example below). Print
two originals of the forms. Sign both copies in blue ink of the UCC-1 on line 8. Sign after
“Debtor” in large and small capital letters, e.g. JOHN QUINCY PUBLIC, and sign after “Secured
Party” using your normal signature.
4. From SOS’s web site for the state where you are going to file, find the address of where to
file by mail, the filing fees and certified copy fees.
5. Get a money order to pay for the fees and at least one certified copy. You may want to get
additional copies for your files. You may be able to pay with a personal check or credit
card. The SOS web site should tell you the payment options they support.
6. Write a cover letter similar to the sample below stating what you are enclosing: payment
for the filing and at least one certified copy, enclosing the two original signed UCC-1 and
UCC-1-Ad’s, requesting that they certify one set, and a self-addressed stamped envelope
to return the extra certified, signed original back. States vary on how they return they
return your documents to you. Some separate your SASE and do not use your SASE, but
will accept your FedEx account number if you want it returned quickly. Be sure to check
with the state you are filing in to comport with their return requirements. If they send back a
certified copy without a blue ink signature, you can just sign the one they send in blue ink
immediately beneath your original signature.
7. Prepare the package for mailing: Cover letter, two UCC-1 forms, two UCC-1Ad forms, and
payment for the filing fees. Do not send the Schedule A or any of the Copyright material
with the UCC-1. Anything you file will become public record, and you should keep these
documents private. You may have to record the Security Agreement in some states in
order to file the UCC forms. It is okay to attach the Security Agreement, but NOT the
Schedule A.
8. Make a copy of the UCC forms for your records and keep it with your returned receipt.
9. Get two Priority Mail envelopes, and stamps from the Post Office ($3.50 X 2 $7.00).
10. Address and stamp both Priority Mail envelopes (one to the Secretary of State from you
and the other one to your mailing address from the Secretary of State).
11. Put the material (Cover letter, UCC-1 forms, UCC-1Ad forms, payment for the filing fees,
and method for return to you) in the Priority Mail envelope addressed to the Secretary of
State.
12. Mail the package. You may wish to send it by certified mail so you have proof and know
when it arrived.)

Step 1f.2 - File your UCC-1 electronically
Follow these steps to file electronically.
1. Use the Sister States web site, http://www.sisterstates.com/, the above list of web sites or
an Internet search engine to find the web site for the secretary of state in your state(s).
2. If your state supports electronic filing, you may have to create an account on the SOS’s
web site. They will usually want a credit card for payment. If your state does not support
electronic filing and you can’t file by mail to your state, you will have to file in a state in the
same UCC region (see below).
3. Follow the instructions on the SOS web site to file a UCC Financing Statement (UCC-1 and
UCC-1Ad). Use the data shown on the UCC Financing Statement Information page(s) to
fill out the form. If your state does not support electronic filing or you don’t want to file
electronically, you will need to follow the instructions to file by mail.
4. If you can’t file in your “res” state, follow the instructions, to file in the same UCC region.
5. Request at least one certified copy of the UCC Financing Statement. You may also want
additional copies for your records.
The disadvantage of filing electronically is that you can’t sign the UCC-1 as the Secured Party.
But we believe it is better to file it electronically than not at all. So we use electronic filing as a
fall-back in cases where you can’t get the state to accept a mailed copy. Filing electronically
may or may not allow you to select “transmitting utility” when you file.
Filing UCC Financing Statement in the Same Region:
If you have trouble filing your UCC-1 in any state (birth, “res” or where you have property), you
can file in any other state in the same UCC Region. By filing in the same region, the UCC-1
will be accepted as if it had been filed in the state where you first tried to file it. The following is
the list of UCC Regions and the states in each region.
Region 1: Washington State, Oregon, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii
Region 2: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska
Region 3: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana
Region 4: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
Region 5: Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Florida
Region 6: Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut
What to do after the UCC-1 is filed in your birth state:
After filing your first UCC-1 (in your birth state), you are now in a position to publish your
copyright notice (at the end of Step 1). Publishing your copyright is only necessary if you were
not able to get your copyright recorded in some county in your state.
After filing your UCC-1 in your birth state, you should also file in the state where you live and in
any state(s) where you have property. You can do these filings now or you can wait a few
weeks. You can now proceed to Step 2 where you will set up your UCC Contract Trust
Account. You must have completed your UCC-1 filing in your birth state before proceeding.
The next page contains a sample of what a UCC-1 might look like.
