The Secretary of State shall:
(a) Cause a certificate of release to be marked, held and indexed the same as a termination statement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, and
(b) Cause a certificate of partial release or a certificate of subordination to be marked, held and indexed the same as a release of collateral within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.
