Ursula's uncle gives her a promissory note in exchange for her promise to work as his personal attorney if she finishes law school in three years. Is Ursula a holder in due course? Which of the following is NOT a requirement for HDC status?

- Although a promise to give value in the future is valid consideration to support a contract, it does not constitute value to make the promisor an HDC.

- A holder takes an instrument for value only to the extent that the promise has been performed.

- When an instrument is purchased at a bankruptcy sale, the holder will not be an HDC.

- A holder who does not act in the process of acquiring the instrument cannot be an HDC.

- The good faith requirement applies only to the holder.

- A person who takes a negotiable instrument from a thief may become an HDC if the person acquired the instrument in good faith and had no reason to be of the transaction.
