(1) If a security interest is perfected or has priority when the 1988 UCC Amendments take effect as to all persons or as to certain persons without any filing or recording, and if the filing of a financing statement would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under the 1988 UCC Amendments, the perfection and priority rights of the security interest continue until three years after the effective date of the 1988 UCC Amendments. The perfection will then lapse unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing. (2) If a security interest is perfected when the 1988 UCC Amendments take effect under a law other than the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in South Carolina which requires no further filing, refiling, or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse three years after the 1988 UCC Amendments take effect, unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4), or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing, or unless under subsection (3) of Section 36-9-302 the other law continues to govern filing. (3) If a security interest is perfected by a filing, refiling, or recording under a law repealed or modified by this Title 36 as amended by the 1988 UCC Amendments which required further filing, refiling, or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues and will lapse on the date provided by the law so repealed or modified for further filing, refiling, or recording unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing. (4) A financing statement may be filed within six months before the perfection of a security interest would otherwise lapse. The financing statement may be signed by either the debtor or the secured party. It must identify the security agreement, statement, or notice (however denominated in any statute or other law repealed or modified by this Title 36 as amended by the 1988 UCC Amendments), state the office where and the date when the last filing, refiling, or recording, if any, was made with respect thereto, and the filing number, if any, or book and page, if any, of recording and further state that the security agreement, statement, or notice, however denominated, in another filing office under the 1966 UCC or under any statute or other law repealed or modified by this Title 36 as amended by the 1988 UCC Amendments is still effective. Sections 36-9-401 and 36-9-103 determine the proper place to file the financing statement. Except as specified in this subsection, the provisions of Section 36-9-403(3) for continuation statements apply to the financing statement.
