On May 15, 2019, Eve bought the instrument below from the Beta Corporation for $1,700. Eve paid for the instrument with a check. Eve knew that Alpha, Inc. disputed its liability on the instrument because of Beta's alleged breach of the computer purchase contract referred to on the face of the instrument. On May 20, 2019, First National Bank bought the instrument from Eve for $1,900. First National Bank did not know that Alpha disputed its liability. On the back of the instrument is the indorsement, "Pay to the order of First National Bank, without recourse [signed] Eve".
