PAYABLE ON DEMAND OR AT DEFINITE TIME
(a) A promise or order is "payable on demand" if it (i) states that it
is payable on demand or at sight, or otherwise indicates that it is
payable at the will of the holder, or (ii) does not state any time of
payment.
(b) A promise or order is "payable at a definite time" if it is
payable on elapse of a definite period of time after sight or
acceptance or at a fixed date or dates or at a time or times readily
ascertainable at the time the promise or order is issued, subject to
rights of (i) prepayment, (ii) acceleration, (iii) extension at the
option of the holder, or (iv) extension to a further definite time at
the option of the maker or acceptor or automatically upon or after a
specified act or event.
(c) If an instrument, payable at a fixed date, is also payable upon
demand made before the fixed date, the instrument is payable on demand
until the fixed date and, if demand for payment is not made before
that date, becomes payable at a definite time on the fixed date.
