Section 75.1170 - Subrogation of issuer, applicant and nominated person.

(2) An applicant that reimburses an issuer is subrogated to the rights of the issuer against any beneficiary, presenter or nominated person to the same extent as if the applicant were the secondary obligor of the obligations owed to the issuer and has the rights of subrogation of the issuer to the rights of the beneficiary stated in subsection (1) of this section.
(3) A nominated person who pays or gives value against a draft or demand presented under a letter of credit is subrogated to the rights of:
(a) The issuer against the applicant to the same extent as if the nominated person were secondary obligor of the obligation owed to the issuer by the applicant;
(b) The beneficiary to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the beneficiary; and
(c) The applicant to same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the applicant.
(4) Notwithstanding any agreement or term to the contrary, the rights of subrogation stated in subsections (1) and (2) of this section do not arise until the issuer honors the letter of credit or otherwise pays. The rights in subsection (3) of this section do not arise until the nominated person pays or otherwise gives value. Until the rights in subsections (1), (2) or (3) of this section arise, the issuer, nominated person and the applicant do not derive under this section present or prospective rights forming the basis of a claim, defense or excuse.
