II. Obligations of the agent
1 An agent who notifies the payee that he accepts the payment instruction unreservedly is obliged to pay the payee and may raise against him only such objections as arise from their personal relationship or from the terms of the payment instruction, not objections arising from his relationship with the principal.
2 An agent who is indebted to the principal is obliged to comply with the payment instruction, provided that in doing so his own position is in no way prejudiced.
3 Even in this case the agent is not obliged to declare his acceptance prior to payment, unless otherwise agreed with the principal.
