Text

(a) Continuing priority over lien creditor: perfection requirements satisfied.--A security interest which is enforceable immediately before the effective date of Revised Division 9 and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under Revised Division 9 if, when Revised Division 9 takes effect, the applicable requirements for enforceability and perfection under Revised Division 9 are satisfied without further action.

(b) Continuing priority over lien creditor: perfection requirements not satisfied.--Except as otherwise provided in section 9705 of Revised Division 9 (relating to effectiveness of action taken before effective date), if, immediately before Revised Division 9 takes effect, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under Revised Division 9 are not satisfied when Revised Division 9 takes effect, the security interest:

(1) is a perfected security interest for one year after Revised Division 9 takes effect;

(2) remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest becomes enforceable under section 9203 of Revised Division 9 (relating to attachment and enforceability of security interest; proceeds; supporting obligations; formal requisites) before the year expires; and

(3) remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under Revised Division 9 are satisfied before the year expires.
