§ 1305.06.
(A) A confirmer is directly obligated on a letter of credit and has the rights and obligations
of an issuer to the extent of its confirmation. The confirmer also has rights against and obligations to the issuer as if the issuer
were an applicant and the confirmer had issued the letter of credit at the request
and for the account of the issuer. (B) A nominated person who is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or otherwise
give value for a presentation. (C) A person requested to advise may decline to act as an adviser. An adviser that is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or give value for a
presentation. An adviser undertakes to the issuer and to the beneficiary accurately to advise
the terms of the letter of credit, confirmation, amendment, or advice received by
that person and undertakes to the beneficiary to check the apparent authenticity of
the request to advise. Even if the advice is inaccurate, the letter of credit, confirmation, or amendment
is enforceable as issued. (D) A person who notifies a transferee beneficiary of the terms of a letter of credit,
confirmation, amendment, or advice has the rights and obligations of an adviser under
division (C) of this section. The terms in the notice to the transferee beneficiary may differ from the terms

of credit, confirmation, amendment, or advice received by the person who so notifies.
