of the security interest against those persons under the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, the perfection and priority rights
of the security interest continue until 3 years after this Act takes effect. 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 this Act takes effect under a law other than the Uniform Commercial Code which
requires no further filing, refiling or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse 3
years after this Act takes effect, unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4), unless the security
interest is perfected otherwise than by filing, or unless under subsection (3) of Section 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(3) If a security interest is perfected by a filing, refiling or recording under a law repealed by this Act (other than any
part of the Prior Uniform Commercial Code) 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perfection continues and will lapse on the date provided by the law so repealed for such further filing, refiling or recording
unless before such date a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless before such date the security
interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.
(4) A financing statement may be filed within 6 months before the perfection of a security interest would otherwise lapse.
Any such 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statement or notice (however denominated in any statute or other law repealed or modified by this Act), state the office where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in another filing office under the Uniform Commercial Code or under any statute or other law repealed or modified by this
Act is still effective. Section 9-401 and Section 9-103 determine the proper place to file such a financing statement. Except

as to all persons or as to certain persons when this Act takes effect by virtue of the previous filing of a financing statement,
and if other acts would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under the
Revised Uniform Commercial Code, the perfection and priority rights of the security interest shall continue and shall lapse
on the date provided by the Prior Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not a continuation statement is filed with respect to
such security interest) unless the security interest is perfected in accordance with the Revised Uniform Commercial Code.
(3) If an issuer's lien or restriction on an uncertificated security outstanding prior to January 1, 1984, or a term of such

which the validity and effectiveness of the lien, restriction or term shall be governed by the Revised Uniform Commercial
Code), or (ii) 3 years from the effective date of this Act. If an initial transaction statement is not sent to the registered
owner of an uncertificated security outstanding when this Act takes effect within 3 years after this Act takes effect, any
