    payable at the will of the holder; or

    (b) Does not state any time of payment.

    (2) A promise or order is "payable at a de finite time" if it is payable on elapse of a

    definite period of time after sight or acceptance or at a fixed date or dates or at a

    time or times readily ascertainable at the time the promise or order is issued, subject

    to rights of:

    (a) Prepayment;

    (b) Acceleration;

    (c) Extension at the option of the holder; or

    (3) If an instrument, payable at a fixed date, is also payable upon demand made before

    demand for payment is not made before that date, becomes payable at a definite

    time on the fixed date.
