or fails to make a payment due before delivery, whether for rent, security, or otherwise
under the lease contract, or for any other reason the lessor has a right to withhold
or take possession of the goods. (B) In pursuing its remedies under division (A) of this section, the lessor may stop

diligence to prevent delivery of the goods. (2) After notification, the bailee shall hold and deliver the goods according to the
directions of the lessor, but the lessor is liable to the bailee for any ensuing charges
or damages. (3) A carrier who has issued a nonnegotiable bill of lading is not obliged to obey a
