§12A-5-106.
   
   Issuance, Amendment, Cancellation, and Duration.
   
   (a) A letter of credit is issued and becomes enforceable according to
   its terms against the issuer when the issuer sends or otherwise
   transmits it to the person requested to advise or to the beneficiary.
   A letter of credit is revocable only if it so provides.
   
   (b) After a letter of credit is issued, rights and obligations of a
   beneficiary, applicant, confirmer, and issuer are not affected by an
   amendment or cancellation to which that person has not consented
   except to the extent the letter of credit provides that it is
   revocable or that the issuer may amend or cancel the letter of credit
   without that consent.
   
   (c) If there is no stated expiration date or other provision that
   determines its duration, a letter of credit expires one (1) year after
   its stated date of issuance or, if none is stated, after the date on
   which it is issued.
   
   (d) A letter of credit that states that it is perpetual expires five
   (5) years after its stated date of issuance, or if none is stated,
   after the date on which it is issued.
