shall be drawn on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Bank.  The
aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding L/Cs and the
aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations under drawn L/Cs shall not
exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and shall reduce, dollar for dollar,
the maximum amount available under the Revolving Loan.  No L/C shall have an
expiry date more than Twenty-Four (24) months from its date of issuance and each
L/C shall be governed by the terms of (and Borrower agrees to execute) Bank's
