(b) Except as otherwise provided in IC 26-1-9.1-705, if, immediately before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under IC 26-1-9.1 are not satisfied when IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect, the security interest:
(1) is a perfected security interest for one (1) year after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect;
