If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this amendatory act that added this section takes effect but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this amendatory act, the security interest remains perfected for a period of 4 months after the effective date and continues perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect under this act is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected at the date this amendatory act that added this section takes effect and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this act, a financing statement signed by the secured party instead of the debtor may be filed within that period to continue perfection or thereafter to perfect.
