After default by the lessee under the lease contract of the type described in section 47-2A523,  subsection A or subsection C,  paragraph 1 or,  if agreed,  after other default by the lessee,  if the lessor complies with subsection B of this section,  the lessor may recover from the lessee as damages: 1. For goods accepted by the lessee and not repossessed by or tendered to the lessor,  and for conforming goods lost or damaged within a commercially reasonable time after risk of loss passes to the lessee (section 47-2A219),  accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor,  the present value as of the same date of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement,  and any incidental damages allowed under section 47-2A530,  less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee's default;  and 2. For goods identified to the lease contract if the lessor is unable after reasonable effort to dispose of them at a reasonable price or the circumstances reasonably indicate that effort will be unavailing,  accrued and unpaid rent as of the date of entry of judgment in favor of the lessor,  the present value as of the same date of the rent for the then remaining lease term of the lease agreement,  and any incidental damages allowed under section 47-2A530,  less expenses saved in consequence of the lessee's default. B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section,  the lessor shall hold for the lessee for the remaining lease term of the lease agreement any goods that have been identified to the lease contract and are in the lessor's control. C. The lessor may dispose of the goods at any time before collection of the judgment for damages obtained pursuant to subsection A of this section. If the disposition is before the end of the remaining lease term of the lease agreement,  the lessor's recovery against the lessee for damages is governed by section 47-2A527 or 47-2A528,  and the lessor will cause an appropriate credit to be provided against a judgment for damages to the extent that the amount of the judgment exceeds the recovery available pursuant to section 47-2A527 or 47-2A528. D. Payment of the judgment for damages obtained pursuant to subsection A of this section entitles the lessee to the use and possession of the goods not then disposed of for the remaining lease term of and in accordance with the lease agreement. E. After default by the lessee under the lease contract of the type described in section 47-2A523,  subsection A or subsection C,  paragraph 1 or,  if agreed,  after other default by the lessee,  a lessor who is held not entitled to rent under this section must nevertheless be awarded damages for nonacceptance under section 47-2A527 or 47-2A528.

47-2A531.  Standing to sue third parties for injury to goods A. If a third party so deals with goods that have been identified to a lease contract as to cause actionable injury to a party to the lease contract the lessor has a right of action against the third party,  and the lessee also has a right of action against the third party if the lessee: 1.

Bears the risk of loss under the lease contract or has since the injury assumed that risk as against the lessor and the goods have been converted or destroyed. B. If at the time of the injury the party plaintiff did not bear the risk of loss as against the other party to the lease contract and there is no arrangement between them for disposition of the recovery,  his suit or settlement,  subject to his own interest,  is as a fiduciary for the other party to the lease contract. C. Either party with the consent of the other may sue for the benefit of whom it may concern.

B. " Instrument"  means a negotiable instrument. C. An order that meets all of the requirements of subsection A,  except paragraph 1,  and otherwise falls within the definition of " check"  in subsection F is a negotiable instrument and a check. D. A promise or order other than a check is not an instrument if,  at the time it is issued or first comes into possession of a holder,  it contains a conspicuous statement,  however expressed,  to the effect that the promise or order is not negotiable or is not an instrument governed by this chapter. E. An instrument is a " note"  if it is a promise and is a " draft"  if it is an order. If an instrument falls within the definition of both " note"  and " draft" ,  a person entitled to enforce the instrument may treat it as either. F. " Check"  means: 1. A draft,  other than a documentary draft,  payable on demand and drawn on a bank;  or 2. A cashier's check or teller's check. An instrument may be a check even though it is described on its face by another term,  such as " money order" . G.

47-3105.  Issue of instrument A. " Issue"  means the first delivery of an instrument by the maker or drawer,  whether to a holder or nonholder,  for the purpose of giving rights on the instrument to any person. B. An unissued instrument,  or an unissued incomplete instrument that is completed,  is binding on the maker or drawer,  but nonissuance is a defense. An instrument that is conditionally issued or is issued for a special purpose is binding on the maker or drawer,  but failure of the condition or special purpose to be fulfilled is a defense. C. " Issuer"  applies to issued and unissued instruments and means a maker or drawer of an instrument.

2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 47 - Uniform Commercial Code|§ 47-3106 - Unconditional promise or order

47-3106.  Unconditional promise or order A. Except as provided in this section,  for the purposes of section 47-3104,  subsection A,  a promise or order is unconditional unless it states: 1. An express condition to payment;  2. That the promise or order is subject to or governed by another writing;  or 3. That rights or obligations with respect to the promise or order are stated in another writing. A reference to another writing does not of itself make the promise or order conditional. B. A promise or order is not made conditional: 1. By a reference to another writing for a statement of rights with respect to collateral,  prepayment or acceleration;  or 2. Because payment is limited to resort to a particular fund or source. C. 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 47-3104,  subsection 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. 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 47-3104,  subsection A,  but if the promise or order is an instrument,  there cannot be a holder in due course of the instrument.

47-3110.  Identification of person to whom instrument is payable A. The person to whom an instrument is initially payable is determined by the intent of the person,  whether or not authorized,  signing as,  or in the name or behalf of,  the issuer of the instrument. The instrument is payable to the person intended by the signer even if that person is identified in the instrument by a name or other identification that is not that of the intended person. If more than one person signs in the name or behalf of the issuer of an instrument and all the signers do not intend the same person as payee,  the instrument is payable to any person intended by one or more of the signers. B. If the signature of the issuer of an instrument is made by automated means,  such as a check-writing machine,  the payee of the instrument is determined by the intent of the person who supplied the name or identification of the payee,  whether or not authorized to do so. C. A person to whom an instrument is payable may be identified in any way,  including by name,  identifying number,  office or account number. For the purpose of determining the holder of an instrument,  the following rules apply: 1. If an instrument is payable to an account and the account is identified only by number,  the instrument is payable to the person to whom the account is payable. If an instrument is payable to an account identified by number and by the name of a person,  the instrument is payable to the named person,  whether or not that person is the owner of the account identified by number. 2. If an instrument is payable to: (a) A trust,  an estate or a person described as trustee or representative of a trust or estate,  the instrument is payable to the trustee,  the representative or a successor of either,  whether or not the beneficiary or estate is also named;  (b) A person described as agent or similar representative of a named or identified person,  the instrument is payable to the represented person,  the representative or a successor of the representative;  (c) A fund or organization that is not a legal entity,  the instrument is payable to a representative of the members of the fund or organization;  or (d) An office or to a person described as holding an office,  the instrument is payable to the named person,  the incumbent of the office or a successor to the incumbent. D. If an instrument is payable to two or more persons alternatively,  it is payable to any of them and may be negotiated,  discharged or enforced by any or all of them in possession of the instrument. If an instrument is payable to two or more persons not alternatively,  it is payable to all of them and may be negotiated,  discharged or enforced only by all of them. If an instrument payable to two or more persons is ambiguous as to whether it is payable to the persons alternatively,  the instrument is payable to the persons alternatively.

To the extent an obligation is modified,  supplemented or nullified by an agreement under this section,  the agreement is a defense to the obligation.
