takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the
extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for
perfection under this Article.

financing statement that, before this Article takes effect, is

under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as
provided in former section 9-103.__However, except as otherwise
provided in subsections (4) and (5) and section 9-1706, the

takes effect 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 this Article takes effect continues for the
period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.

 
(5)__Subsection (3), paragraph (b) applies to a financing
statement that, before this Article takes effect, 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 9-103 only to
the extent that Part 3 provides that the law of a jurisdiction
other than jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed
governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered
by the financing statement.

 
(6)__A financing statement that includes a financing statement
filed before this Article takes effect and a continuation
statement filed after this Article takes effect is effective only
to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 for an
initial financing statement.
