1. If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before July 1, 2001, 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 that date, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this article as amended within 1 year after that date. An attached security interest becomes unperfected 1 year after July 1, 2001, unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this article as amended before the expiration of that period.

2. The filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this article as amended.

3. This article as amended does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that was filed before July 1, 2001, and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in NRS 104.9103 as that section read at the time of filing. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5 and NRS 104.9706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of:

(a) The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed; or

(b) June 30, 2006.

4. The filing of a continuation statement on or after July 1, 2001, does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before that date. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after that date 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 that date continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.

5. Paragraph (b) of subsection 3 applies to a financing statement that was filed against a transmitting utility before July 1, 2001, and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in NRS 104.9103 as that section read at the time of filing 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.

6. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2001, and a continuation statement filed after that date are effective only to the extent that the financing statement satisfies the requirements of part 5 for an initial financing statement.
