Sandra and Thomas McGuire entered into a purchase and sale agreement for “Becca’s Boutique” with Pascal and Rebecca Tursi. The agreement provided that the McGuires would buy the store for $75,000, with a down payment of $10,000 and the balance of $65,000 to be paid at closing on October 5, 2017. The settlement clause stated that the sale was contingent upon the McGuires’ obtaining a Small Business Administration loan of $65,000. On September 4, 2017, Mrs. McGuire signed a promissory note in which the McGuires promised to pay to the order of the Tursis and the Green Mountain Inn the sum of $65,000. The note specified that interest payments of $541.66 would become due and payable on the fifth day of October, November, and December 2017. The entire balance of the note, with interest, would become due and payable at the option of the holder if any installment of interest was not paid according to that schedule. |
Explanation
The notation may not be due on request or at a particular time as it may not provide for reimbursement of principal in that particular time period. In this case, Person P may assert the powers as a contract agent nevertheless as that person may have the same power as that of a transferor, despite of thefact that the notation is not a passable tool.
Verified Answer
Under U.C.C., the due notation may not be a flexible tool. The amount may be due upon the creator's non-payment, which may be at an undefined time span as per the advancement statute.
