Section 9--702. Savings Clause.

(a) Pre-effective-date transactions or liens. Except as otherwise

provided in this part, Revised Article 9 applies to a transaction or

Revised Article 9 if they had been entered into or created

after Revised Article 9 takes effect, and the rights, duties,

and interests flowing from those transactions and liens

remain valid after Revised Article 9 takes effect; and

(2) the transactions and liens may be terminated, completed,

consummated, and enforced as required or permitted by Revised

Article 9 or by the law that otherwise would apply if Revised

Article 9 had not taken effect.

an action, case, or proceeding commenced before Revised Article 9 takes

effect.
