§ 70A-3-302. Holder in due course.
Status: in_force

(1) Subject to Subsection (3) and Subsection 70A-3-106(4), "holder in due course" means the holder of an instrument if: (a) the instrument when issued or negotiated to the holder does not bear such apparent evidence of forgery or alteration or is not otherwise so irregular or incomplete as to call into question its authenticity; and (b) the holder took the instrument for value, in good faith, without notice that the instrument is overdue or has been dishonored or that there is an uncured default with respect to payment of another instrument issued as part of the same series, without notice that the instrument contains an unauthorized signature or has been altered, without notice of any claim to the instrument described in Section 70A-3-306, and without notice that any party has a defense or claim in recoupment described in Subsection 70A-3-305(1). (2) Notice of discharge of a party, other than discharge in an insolvency proceeding, is not notice of a defense under Subsection (1), but discharge is effective against a person who became a holder in due course with notice of the discharge.

(5) If the person entitled to enforce an instrument has only a security interest in the instrument, and the person obliged to pay the instrument has a defense, claim in recoupment, or claim to the instrument that may be asserted against the person who granted the security interest, the person entitled to enforce the instrument may assert rights as a holder in due course only to an amount payable under the instrument which, at the time of enforcement of the instrument, does not exceed the amount of the unpaid obligation secured. (6) To be effective, notice must be received at a time and in a manner that gives a reasonable opportunity to act on it. (7) This section is subject to any law limiting status as a holder in due course in particular classes of transactions.
