(A) If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is made to a person entitled

to enforce the instrument, the effect of tender is governed by principles of law applicable

to tender of payment under a simple contract. (B) If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is made to a person entitled

to enforce the instrument and the tender is refused, there is discharge, to the extent

of the amount of the tender, of the obligation of an indorser or accommodation party

having a right of recourse with respect to the obligation to which the tender relates. (C) If tender of payment of an amount due on an instrument is made to a person entitled

to enforce the instrument, the obligation of the obligor to pay interest after the

due date on the amount tendered is discharged.  If presentment is required with respect to an instrument and the obligor is able

and ready to pay on the due date at every place of payment stated in the instrument,

the obligor is deemed to have made tender of payment on the due date to the person

entitled to enforce the instrument.
