If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before January 1, 2002 and the action would have resulted in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor had the security interest become enforceable before January 1, 2002, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this act within one (1) year after January 1, 2002. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one (1) year after January 1, 2002 unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this act before the expiration of that period. The filing of a financing statement before this act takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this act. This act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before January 1, 2002, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in former Section 75-9-103. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and Section 75-9-706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of: The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed; or December 31, 2006. Provided, however, a financing statement filed before January 1, 2002, covering a manufactured home, other than a manufactured home constituting inventory, remains effective, if it so states, until a termination statement is filed. The filing of a continuation statement after January 1, 2002 does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before January 1, 2002. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after January 1, 2002 and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Part 3, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before January 1, 2002 continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction. Subsection (c)(2) applies to a financing statement that, before January 1, 2002, is filed against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in former Section 75-9-103 only to the extent that Part 3 provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before January 1, 2002 and a continuation statement filed after January 1, 2002 is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Part 5 for an initial financing statement.
