(3).  If delivery is authorized and made by way of documents of title otherwise than by subsection (2), then payment is due regardless of where the goods are to be received:  
(a). At the time and place at which the buyer is to receive delivery of the tangible documents; or   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §6 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).]
