7. What bills are negotiable (1) Where a bill contains words prohibiting transfer, or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable, it is valid as between the parties to it, but is not negotiable. (2) A negotiable bill may be payable either to order or to bearer. (3) A bill is payable to bearer where it is expressed to be so payable, or where the only or last indorsement is an indorsement in blank. (4) A bill is payable to order where it is expressed to be so payable, or where it is expressed to be payable to a particular person, and does not contain words prohibiting transfer or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable. (5) Where a bill, either originally or by indorsement, is expressed to be payable to the order of a specified person, and not to him or his order, it is nevertheless payable to him or his order at his option.
