An attached security interest becomes unperfected on the adjustment date unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under the act adding this chapter before the adjustment date.
(b) Pre-effective-date filing.--The filing of a financing statement before the effective date of this section is effective to perfect a security interest on the effective date of this section to the extent the filing would satisfy the requirements for perfection under the act adding this chapter.
(c) Pre-effective-date enforceability action.--The taking of an action before the effective date of this section is sufficient for the enforceability of a security interest on the effective date of this section if the action would satisfy the requirements for enforceability under the act adding this chapter.
