§12A-3-413.
OBLIGATION OF ACCEPTOR
(a) The acceptor of a draft is obliged to pay the draft (i) according
to its terms at the time it was accepted, even though the acceptance
states that the draft is payable "as originally drawn" or equivalent
terms, (ii) if the acceptance varies the terms of the draft, according
to the terms of the draft as varied, or (iii) if the acceptance is of
a draft that is an incomplete instrument, according to its terms when
completed, to the extent stated in Sections 3-115 and 3-407 of this
title. The obligation is owed to a person entitled to enforce the
draft or to the drawer or an indorser who paid the draft under Section
3-414 or 3-415 of this title.
(b) If the certification of a check or other acceptance of a draft
states the amount certified or accepted, the obligation of the
acceptor is that amount. If (i) the certification or acceptance does
not state an amount, (ii) the amount of the instrument is subsequently
raised, and (iii) the instrument is then negotiated to a holder in due
course, the obligation of the acceptor is the amount of the instrument
at the time it was taken by the holder in due course.
