Explanation / Answer

Warren said that It is the promissory note which has been endorsed by the George as payment has been made on behalf of his order. But George endorsed as without recourse to avoid his responsibility. So, he is not at all responsible for this issue.

The Ken qualifies as HDC as he has the good faith on the Warren and he take the instrument for the value. He presents the note to the Warren for the payment. This is without notice.
