N.C.P.I.—Crim. 220.22
FILING FALSE SECURITY AGREEMENTS. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with filing false security
agreements.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant1 presented a [financing statement];
And Second, that the defendant did so [with knowledge that the
financing statement was not related to a valid security agreement] [with
the intention that the financing statement be filed for an improper
purpose], such as to [hinder] [harass] [wrongfully interfere] with another
person.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant presented a financing statement
and that the defendant did so [with knowledge that the financing
statement was not related to a valid security agreement] [with the
intention that the financing statement be filed for an improper purpose],
such as to [hinder] [harass] [wrongfully interfere] with another person, it
would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or
have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, then it would
be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
