description of personal or real property is sufficient, whether or not it is specific, if it

defined in Titles 1 through 10 of this article;

if the identity of the collateral is objectively determinable.
(c) A description of collateral as "all the debtor's assets" or "all the debtor's
personal property" or using words of similar import does not reasonably identify the
collateral.

entitlement, securities account, or commodity account is sufficient if it describes:
(1) The collateral by those terms or as investment property; or
(2) The underlying financial asset or commodity contract.
