§ 3106. Unconditional promise or order
Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes and Consolidated StatutesTitle 13 Pa.C.S.A. Commercial Code
13 Pa.C.S.A. § 3106
§ 3106. Unconditional promise or order
A reference to another writing does not of itself make the promise or order conditional.
(c) Promise or order not made conditional when countersignature as condition to payment is required.--If a promise or order requires, as a condition to payment, a countersignature by a person whose specimen signature appears on the promise or order, the condition does not make the promise or order conditional for the purposes of section 3104(a). If the person whose specimen signature appears on an instrument fails to countersign the instrument, the failure to countersign is a defense to the obligation of the issuer, but the failure does not prevent a transferee of the instrument from becoming a holder of the instrument.
(d) Promise or order not made conditional by containing certain statements required by law.--If a promise or order at the time it is issued or first comes into possession of a holder contains a statement, required by applicable statutory or administrative law, to the effect that the rights of a holder or transferee are subject to claims or defenses that the issuer could assert against the original payee, the promise or order is not thereby made conditional for the purposes of section 3104(a); but if the promise or order is an instrument, there cannot be a holder in due course of the instrument.
