presentment; otherwise, only on payment; and
2. Upon dishonor, either in the case of
presentment for acceptance or presentment for payment, may seek and follow
instructions from any referee in case of need designated in the draft or if the
presenting bank does not choose to utilize the referees services it must use
diligence and good faith to ascertain the reason for dishonor, must notify its

reasons therefor and must request instructions.
