(810 ILCS 5/5-106) (from Ch. 26, par. 5-106)
Sec. 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 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 5
years after its stated date of issuance, or if none is stated, after the date
on which it is issued.
