security for a personal debt of the fiduciary to the actual knowledge of the creditor
or is drawn and delivered in any transaction known by the payee to be for the
personal benefit of the fiduciary, the creditor or other payee is liable to the principal
if the fiduciary in fact commits a breach of his obligation as fiduciary in drawing or
delivering the instrument.
