(1) remains an enforceable security interest for one (1) year after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect;

(3) becomes perfected:
(A) without further action, when IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect if the applicable requirements for perfection under IC 26-1-9.1 are satisfied before or at that time; or
(B) when the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.
