All after-acquired real or personal property of such corporation, described or referred to as being mortgaged or pledged in any such instrument, shall become subject to the lien thereof immediately upon the acquisition of such property by such corporation, whether or not such property was in existence at the time of the execution of such instrument.

The lien upon personal property of any such instrument shall, after recordation thereof, continue in existence and of record until the performance of the obligation secured thereby or the release or satisfaction thereof by the owner thereof.
