§ 9703. Security interest perfected before effective date.
(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.
