Loan A to John Doe is secured by a UCC filing for inventory and accounts. Loan B made to John Doe a year later is cross collateralized with the same collateral. Loan A has the original security agreement and Loan B does not get a new security agreement. We reference the original security agreement from Loan A in the Promissory Note of Loan B. Is this correct or should we prepare a new security agreement with Loan B even though the UCC was filed a year prior to Loan B being made? If Loan A pays off and we move the security agreement over to Loan B are we perfected?
