following circumstances: (1) The person entitled to present the instrument cannot with reasonable diligence make
presentment. (2) The maker or acceptor has repudiated an obligation to pay the instrument, has died,
or is in insolvency proceedings. (3) By the terms of the instrument presentment is not necessary to enforce the obligation
of indorsers or the drawer. (4) The drawer or indorser whose obligation is being enforced has waived presentment
or otherwise has no reason to expect or right to require that the instrument be paid
or accepted. (5) The drawer instructed the drawee not to pay or accept the draft or the drawee was
not obligated to the drawer to pay the draft. (B) Notice of dishonor is excused if by the terms of the instrument notice of dishonor
is not necessary to enforce the obligation of a party to pay the instrument or if
the party whose obligation is being enforced waived notice of dishonor. A waiver of presentment is also a waiver of notice of dishonor. (C) Delay in giving notice of dishonor is excused if the delay was caused by circumstances
beyond the control of the person giving the notice and the person giving the notice
exercised reasonable diligence after the cause of the delay ceased to operate.
