(4) the debtor did not authorize the filing of the initial financing statement.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in § 4-9-510, upon the filing of a termination statement with the filing office, the financing statement to which the termination statement relates ceases to be effective. Except as otherwise provided in § 4-9-510, for purposes of §§ 4-9-519(g), 4-9-522(a), and 4-9-523(c), the filing with the filing office of a termination statement relating to a financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a transmitting utility also causes the effectiveness of the financing statement to lapse.
