Short Summary
The provided legal document content consists of miscellaneous provisions related to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and negotiable instruments in Montana. These provisions govern various aspects of commercial transactions and negotiable instruments within the state. They apply to individuals and entities involved in such transactions and instruments in Montana. However, no specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in these provisions. The provided legal document content consists of sections from the Montana Code under the Uniform Commercial Code Negotiable Instruments. It covers the discharge of indorsers and accommodation parties, payment and discharge of obligations related to negotiable instruments, and tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument. The discharge of a party’s obligation under 30-3-605 does not discharge the obligation of an indorser or accommodation party with a right of recourse against the discharged party. The section also addresses the discharge of indorsers or accommodation parties when there is a material modification of the obligation, impairment of collateral, or joint and several liability. It outlines the burden of proof for impairment and the circumstances under which an accommodation party may be discharged. The section further states that there is no discharge if the party asserting discharge consents to the event or conduct or if the instrument or a separate agreement waives discharge based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. The section on payment and discharge of obligations related to negotiable instruments clarifies that an instrument is considered paid if payment is made by or on behalf of a party obliged to pay the instrument and to a person entitled to enforce the instrument. The obligation of the party obliged to pay is discharged to the extent of the payment, even if there is a claim to the instrument by another person. However, there are exceptions to this rule. The obligation is not discharged if payment is made with knowledge that payment is prohibited by court injunction or similar process, or if the instrument is stolen and payment is made to a person in wrongful possession. The section on tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument states that if tender of payment is made to a person entitled to enforce the instrument, the effect of tender is determined by principles of law applicable to tender of payment under a simple contract. If the tender is refused, there is a discharge of the obligation of an indorser or accommodation party to the extent of the amount of the tender. Additionally, if tender of payment of an amount due on an instrument is made by or on behalf of the obligor to the person entitled to enforce the instrument, the obligation of the obligor to pay interest after the due date on the amount tendered is discharged. If presentment is required and the obligor is able and ready to pay on the due date at every place of payment stated in the instrument, the obligor is considered to have made tender of payment on the due date to the person entitled to enforce the instrument. .This legal document, part of the Montana Code under the Uniform Commercial Code for negotiable instruments, governs the excusal of presentment for payment or acceptance of an instrument, as well as the excusal of notice of dishonor.
