For purposes of § 6A-9-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under § 6A-9-203 of this chapter dates from the time this chapter takes effect if the security interest is perfected under this chapter by the filing of a financing statement before this chapter takes effect which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former chapter 9 of this title.
