						<section id="2"><p><span class="prefix-number">2.</span> If the agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental regulation, the seller may withhold or stop delivery unless the buyer provides a means or manner of payment which is commercially a substantial equivalent. If delivery has already been taken, payment by the means or in the manner provided by the regulation discharges the buyer&#x2019;s obligation unless the regulation is discriminatory, oppressive or predatory. <a id="paragraph-214653" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/8.2-614/#2"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section></text><history>1964, c. 219.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
