to pay money under a letter of credit before presentation, the beneficiary, successor, or
nominated person presenting on its own behalf may recover from the issuer the amount that
is the subject of the dishonor or repudiation. If the issuer's obligation under the letter
of credit is not for the payment of money, the claimant may obtain specific performance or,
at the claimant's election, recover an amount equal to the value of performance from the issuer.

claimant is not obligated to take action to avoid damages that might be due from the issuer
