Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are two kinds of indorsements that the original Article 3 treated as restrictive indorsements, but that the Revised Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code no longer considers restrictive indorsements. One such indorsement is conditional indorsement, which indicates that it is effective only if the payee satisfies a certain condition. The given example illustrates a conditional endorsement because Mantra Oil Inc. indicates in its indorsement that Habib Coal Corp. should be paid only if it delivers 1,000 tons of coal by September 30, 2014.
