Text
Subject to applicable law
regarding exclusion of proof of contemporaneous or previous agreements, the
obligation of a party to an instrument to pay the instrument may be modified,
supplemented, or nullified by a separate agreement of the obligor and a person
entitled to enforce the instrument, if the instrument is issued or the obligation is
incurred in reliance on the agreement or as part of the same transaction giving rise
to the agreement. To the extent an obligation is modified, supplemented, or
nullified by an agreement under this section, the agreement is a defense to the
obligation.
