                     ---------------
$5,000,000 of Asset Sale Proceeds in connection with any disposition of assets
permitted by Section 5.1(g) of the Indenture, then such Asset Sale Proceeds in
             --------------
excess of $5,000,000 shall be used to redeem or prepay, as applicable, the
Redeemable Facilities on a pro rata basis among the Redeemable Facilities, based
                           --- ----
upon the then outstanding principal amounts of each of the Redeemable
Facilities, at the prices for redemption or prepayment set forth in the
applicable Financing Document, and the Issuer shall provide the Administrative
Agent an Allocation Certificate setting forth the amount to be so allocated to
each Redeemable Facility and the account or accounts into which each Redeemable
Facility's allocable share shall be deposited in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Financing Document.  Within three (3) Business Days of its
receipt of an Allocation Certificate, the Administrative Agent shall make the
transfers specified therein.  The Issuer hereby instructs the Collateral Agent
and the Administrative Agent to make all such payments in respect of the Bonds
directly to the Trustee for deposit into the Bond Fund in accordance with the
terms of Section 3.3 of the Indenture, and the Collateral Agent and the
         -----------
Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge receipt of such instruction.  Any Asset
Sale Proceeds remaining on deposit in the Proceeds Account after the making of
the transfers contemplated by this Section 3.10(d) shall be deposited in the

          SECTION 3.11  Permitted Investments. Amounts held in any Account
                        ---------------------
created by and held under this Agreement (other than the Distribution Account)
shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments at the written
direction (which may be in the form of a standing instruction) of an Authorized
Representative of the Issuer (or, in the case of the Holdings II Account or the
Holdings III Account, an Authorized Representative of Elwood II Holdings or
Elwood III Holdings, as applicable); provided, however, that at any time when
                                     --------  -------
(a) an Authorized Officer of the Administrative Agent has received written
notice from the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (b) an Authorized
Representative of the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood III Holdings, as the
case may be, has not timely furnished such a written direction or, after a
request by the Administrative Agent, has not so confirmed a standing instruction
to the Administrative Agent, the

                                      41
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent shall invest such monies only in Permitted Investments of
the type referred to in clause (vi) of the definition of "Permitted
Investments". Any written direction of an Authorized Representative of the
Issuer (or, with respect to the Holdings II Account and the Holdings III
Account, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood III Holdings, respectively) with respect
to the investment or reinvestment of monies held in any Account (other than the
Distribution Account) shall direct investment or reinvestment only in Permitted
Investments that shall mature in such amounts and have maturity dates or be
subject to redemption at the option of the holder thereof on or prior to
maturity thereof as needed for the purposes of such Accounts, but in no event
shall such Permitted Investments mature more than one year after the date
acquired. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any
investment or reinvestment shall satisfy the criteria set forth in the
definition of "Permitted Investment" in the Indenture or the other criteria set
forth in this Section 3.11 and neither the Administrative Agent nor the
               -----------
Collateral Agent shall have any liability in the event that the value of any
Permitted Investment decreases. The Administrative Agent shall at any time and
from time to time liquidate any or all of such investments prior to the maturity
as needed in order to effect the transfers and withdrawals contemplated by this
Agreement in accordance with an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer; provided
                                                                     --------
that, in the absence of timely receipt of such an Officer's Certificate, the
Administrative Agent shall liquidate all such investments as necessary in order
to effect the transfers and withdrawals contemplated by this Agreement. In the
event any such investments are redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any loss or penalties relating
thereto. Any income or gain realized from such investments shall be deposited
into the Revenue Account as and when realized. For purposes of any income tax
payable on account of any income or gain on an investment, such income or gain
shall be for the account of the Issuer.

          SECTION 3.12  Events of Default. On and after any date on which the
                        -----------------
Administrative Agent receives written notice from the Intercreditor Agent
pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Intercreditor Agreement that an Event of Default
            -----------
has occurred (the date of receipt of such notice, the "Event of Default Date"),
                                                       ---------------------
the Administrative Agent shall, until the Administrative Agent receives notice
from the Intercreditor Agent that the Event of Default has been cured,
thereafter accept all notices and instructions required to be given to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only from the
Collateral Agent (acting upon instructions from the Intercreditor Agent, acting
pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) and not from any other Person and the
Administrative Agent shall not withdraw, transfer, pay or otherwise distribute
any monies in any of the Accounts except pursuant to such notices and
instructions from the Collateral Agent (acting upon instructions from the
Intercreditor Agent, acting pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement). On the
Event of Default Date, the Administrative Agent shall render an accounting of
all monies in

                                      42
<PAGE>

in the Accounts as of the Event of Default Date to the Collateral Agent and the
Intercreditor Agent.

          SECTION 3.13  Disposition of Accounts Upon Debt Termination Date. In
                        --------------------------------------------------
the event that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent stating that the Debt Termination
Date shall have occurred, all Administrative Claims of which the Collateral
Agent is aware shall have been paid in full and all fees, charges and expenses
of the Independent Consultants and all other amounts required to be paid
hereunder and under the other Financing Documents of which the Collateral Agent
is aware shall have been paid in full, all amounts remaining in the Accounts
shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral
Agent authorizing such payments from the Accounts, be remitted to or as directed
by the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood III Holdings, as applicable, or as
otherwise directed by the Issuer.

          SECTION 3.14  Account Balance Statements. The Administrative Agent
                        --------------------------
shall, on a monthly basis, provide to the Collateral Agent and the Issuer (and,
with respect to the Holdings II Account or the Holdings III Account, Elwood II
Holdings or Elwood III Holdings, respectively) account balance statements in
respect of each of the Accounts and amounts segregated in any of the Accounts.
Such balance statement shall also include deposits, withdrawals and transfers
from and to any Account and segregated amounts. At such other times as the
Collateral Agent or the Issuer (or, with respect to the Holdings II Account or
the Holdings III Account, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood III Holdings,
respectively) may from time to time reasonably request (but not more frequently
than once each week unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing), the Administrative Agent shall provide written informal account
information regarding (a) balances in respect of each of the Accounts and, to
the extent reasonably available, amounts segregated in any of the Accounts and
(b) deposits, withdrawals and transfers from and to any Account and, to the
extent reasonably available, segregated amounts.

          SECTION 3.15  Instructions to the Administrative Agent. Each
                        ----------------------------------------
direction to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement to transfer or
withdraw amounts in an Account shall sufficiently identify (a) the Account from
which such amounts are to be withdrawn or transferred, (b) the Account in which
such amount is to be deposited or Person to whom such amount is to be
transferred and (c) the applicable provision of this Agreement which authorizes
such transfer or withdrawal. In the event that the Administrative Agent believes
that it lacks sufficient information to make a transfer or withdrawal or to
determine whether it has authority under this Agreement to make such transfer or
withdrawal, it may refrain from making such transfer or withdrawal until it has
received the information required to

                                      43
<PAGE>

make such transfer or confirmed its authority to its satisfaction. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for making calculations relating
to deposits to or withdrawals from the Accounts.

                                  ARTICLE IV
                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
                            ------------------------

          The provisions of this Article IV are solely for the benefit of the
                                 ----------
Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and, except
to the extent expressly provided in this Article IV, the Issuer shall not have
                                         ----------
any rights under this Article IV against the Administrative Agent, the
                      ----------
Collateral Agent or any other  Secured Party; provided that the Administrative
                                              --------
Agent shall be liable to for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          SECTION 4.1  Appointment of the Administrative Agent, Powers and
                       ---------------------------------------------------
Immunities.  The Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
----------
Bank One Trust Company, National Association, to act as Administrative Agent
hereunder, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  Bank One Trust Company, National Association,
hereby agrees to act as Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Each of the
Issuer, Elwood II Holdings and Elwood III Holdings hereby acknowledges the
appointment of the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, with such powers as are expressly delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities to any Person except those expressly set
forth in this Agreement and shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any
other Secured Party (and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities
shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist with respect to the
Administrative Agent).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent shall take all actions as the Collateral Agent shall direct
it to perform in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement and
the Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which
is contrary to this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement or Applicable Law.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible
to any other Secured Party for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings, Elwood III Holdings or the
Collateral Agent contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by any other Secured Party under, this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any

                                      44
<PAGE>

other Transaction Document or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or therein or for any failure by the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood
III Holdings to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance by the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings or Elwood III Holdings of any of
its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other document or agreement contemplated hereby or thereby. The
Administrative Agent shall not be (a) required to initiate or conduct any
litigation or collection proceeding hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document or (b) responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or in
connection with any other Transaction Document. Except as otherwise expressly
set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take action under
this Agreement only as it shall be directed in writing by the Collateral Agent.
Whenever, in the administration of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be proved or
established in connection with the Administrative Agent taking, suffering or
omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved or established by an Officer's Certificate or a certificate
of any Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, if appropriate. The
Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
concerning the administration of this Agreement from the Collateral Agent, legal
counsel or any court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Administrative Agent has received an Officer's Certificate of the
Issuer or a written notice or certificate from a Secured Party stating that an
Event of Default has occurred.

          Each of the Secured Parties expressly acknowledges that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or
attorneys-in-fact has made any representations or warranties to it and that no
act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including, without
limitation, any review of the Project or of the affairs of the Issuer, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent
to any other Secured Party. Each Secured Party (other than any other Secured
Party that has no obligation to make appraisals, investigations or credit
analyses under the Financing Documents to which it is a party, including,
without limitation, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent)
represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the

                                      45
<PAGE>

Project and the Issuer. Each Secured Party (other than a Secured Party that has
no obligation to make appraisals, investigations or credit analyses under the
Financing Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the
Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent) also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals
and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make
such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Project and Issuer. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the other Secured Parties by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of the Project and the Issuer which may come into
the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

          SECTION 4.2  Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
                       ------------------------------------
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Officer's Certificate, officer's
certificate of an Authorized Officer of any Secured Party, Independent
Engineer's certificate, certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral
Agent or any other certificate, notice or other document (including any cable,
telegram or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice of legal
counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent and shall have no liability for its actions taken
thereupon, unless due to the Administrative Agent's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be
required to make payments to the Secured Parties or other Persons only as set
forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement
(i) if such action would, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be
contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement, (ii) if such action is not specifically provided for in this
Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement and it shall not have received any such
advice or concurrence of the Collateral Agent as it deems appropriate or (iii)
if, in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute an
exercise of remedies under any Financing Document (whether such action is or is
intended to be an action of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent),
it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement

                                      46
<PAGE>

or any other Financing Document in accordance with a request of the Collateral
Agent (to the extent that the Collateral Agent is expressly authorized to direct
the Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking such action), and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Secured Parties. In the event that the Administrative Agent is
required to perform any action on a particular date only following the delivery
of an Officer's Certificate or other document, the Administrative Agent shall be
fully justified in failing to perform such action if it has not first received
such Officer's Certificate or other document and shall be fully justified in
continuing to fail to perform such action until such time as it has received
such Officer's Certificate or other document.

          SECTION 4.3  Court Orders.  The Administrative Agent is hereby
                       ------------
authorized, in its exclusive discretion, to obey and comply with all writs,
orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency
affecting any money, documents or things held by the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any
other Secured Party, their successors, heirs or personal representatives by
reason of the Administrative Agent's compliance with such writs, orders,
judgments or decrees, notwithstanding such writ, order, judgment or decree is
later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.

          SECTION 4.4  Resignation or Removal.  Subject to the appointment and
                       ----------------------
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written
notice thereof to the Collateral Agent, the Issuer, Elwood II Holdings and
Elwood III Holdings (provided that if the Administrative Agent is also the
                     --------
Collateral Agent and the Trustee, it must also at the same time resign as
Collateral Agent and as Trustee), and the Administrative Agent may be removed at
any time with cause by the Collateral Agent.  In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall decline to take any action without first receiving
adequate indemnity and, having received adequate indemnification, shall continue
to decline to take such action, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
sufficient cause to remove the Administrative Agent.  Prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall have the right to
remove the Administrative Agent upon 30 day's notice to the Secured Parties with
or without cause, subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below.  Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent which shall be a single bank or trust company that (i) has an office in
New York, New York, (ii) has capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least
$50,000,000, (iii) is experienced in administering sophisticated financing
transactions, and (iv) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.  If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been appointed by the Collateral Agent and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring

                                      47
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a single bank or trust
company that (i) has an office in New York, New York, (ii) has capital, surplus
and undivided profits of at least $50,000,000, (iii) is experienced in
administering sophisticated financing transactions, and (iv) so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the
Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder
by the successor Administrative Agent, (a) such successor Administrative Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and (b) the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer all
Accounts within its possession or control to the possession or control of the
successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be
necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the retiring Administrative
Agent with respect to such Accounts to the successor Administrative Agent. After
the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IV and of Article V shall
                                             ----------        ---------
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while acting as Administrative Agent. Further, a corporation into
which the Administrative Agent is merged or converted or with which it is
consolidated or which results from a merger, conversion or consolidation to
which it is a party shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be the
successor Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further formality
and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent with which such corporation
was merged, converted or consolidated. The Administrative Agent shall forthwith
notify such event to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent.

                                              Deposit and Disbursement Agreement
                                              ----------------------------------

                              Calculation Examples
                              --------------------

The following examples illustrate how the applicable percentage of capacity
covered by Permitted PPAs is to be calculated for the purposes of Section
3.9(b)(iii) of this Agreement:

Assume for the purposes of each example that the capacity of the Project is 1400
MW.

Example 1:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs with terms that extend for all eight of the
               quarters that follow such date. These Permitted PPAs cover, in
               the aggregate, 1000 MW of the Project's capacity. Therefore, the
               applicable percentage is (1000/1400) x 100% = 71.4%.

Example 2:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs with terms that extend for the first six of the
               eight quarters that follow such date. These Permitted PPAs cover
               1000 MW of the Project's capacity during such first six quarters
               and 0 MW of the Project's capacity during the seventh and eight
               quarters following such date. Therefore, the applicable
               percentage is [(1000/1400) x (75%)] + [(0/1400) x (25%)] =
               (53.6%) + (0%) = 53.6%

Example 3:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs that cover 1000 MW of the Project's capacity
               during the first six quarters following such date and 500 MW of
               the Project's capacity during the seventh and eight quarters
               following such date. Therefore, the applicable percentage is
               [(1000/1400) x (75%)] + [(500/1400) x (25%)] = (53.6%) + (8.9%) =
               62.5%

Example 4:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs that cover 0 MW of the Project's capacity during
               the first six quarters following such date and 1400 MW of the
               Project's capacity during

                                   Annex A-1
<PAGE>

               the seventh and eight quarters following such date. Therefore,
               the applicable percentage is [(0/1400) x (75%)] + [(1400/1400) x
               (25%)] = (0%) + (25%) = 25%

Example 5:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs that cover 1400 MW of the Project's capacity
               during the first four quarters following such date and 0 MW of
               the Project's capacity during the fifth, sixth, seventh and
               eighth quarters following such date. Therefore, the applicable
               percentage is [(1400/1400) x (50%)] + [(0/1400) x (50%)] = (50%)
               + (0%) = 50%

Example 6:     On the applicable date of determination, the Issuer is party to
               Permitted PPAs that cover 1400 MW of the Project's capacity
               during the first 3 1/2 quarters following such date and 0 MW of
               the Project's capacity during the last 1/2 of the fourth quarter
               and during the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth quarters
               following such date. Therefore, the applicable percentage is
               [(1400/1400) x (43.75%)] + [(0/1400) x (56.25%)] = (43.75%) +
               (0%) = 43.75%

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This Certificate (this "Independent Engineer's Restoration
                                  ----------------------------------
Certificate") is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(iii)(B) of the
-----------                                   -----------------------
Deposit and Disbursement Agreement and in connection with the requisition for
payment dated __________ __, ____ (the "Restoration Requisition") delivered
                                        -----------------------
together with this Independent Engineer's Restoration Certificate.  Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Deposit and Disbursement Agreement (including defined
terms incorporated therein by reference from the Indenture).

          We hereby certify to the Administrative Agent as of the date hereof
that:

     1. We have reviewed the material and data made available to us by the
        Issuer with respect to [describe rebuilding, repair or restoration of
        project] and have performed such other investigation as is referenced in
        Annex 1 attached hereto (the "Review"). Our Review was
        -------                       ------

                                      G-1
<PAGE>

        performed in accordance with generally accepted engineering and
        construction practices and included such investigation, [insert
        customary exceptions and qualifications] and review as we in our
        professional capacity deemed necessary or appropriate in the
        circumstances and within the scope of our appointment [insert customary
        exceptions and qualifications]. We have also reviewed the Restoration
        Requisition and any appendices, schedules and requisitions and/or
        invoices attached thereto or delivered therewith.

     2. Based on our Review and the understanding and assumption that we have
        been provided true, correct and complete information, and [insert
        customary exceptions and qualifications] we are of the opinion that, as
        of the date hereof:

        a. After giving effect to the payments requested under the Restoration
           Requisition, the undisbursed moneys in the Proceeds Account together
           with any other amounts that the Issuer is willing to commit or cause
           to be committed to such rebuilding, repair or restoration is
           reasonably estimated to equal or exceed the amount necessary to pay
           for (i) all work, labor or services performed and all materials,
           supplies or equipment furnished for which payment has not yet been
           made and (ii) all other reasonably anticipated costs of rebuilding,
           repair or restoration ("Restoration Costs") which have yet to be paid
                                   -----------------
           in order to achieve operation of [all] [a portion] of the Project.
           [Alternative if applicable: After giving effect to the payments
           requested under the Restoration Requisition, the undisbursed moneys
           in the Proceeds Account may be less than the amount necessary to pay
           for (i) all work, labor or services performed and all materials,
           supplies or equipment furnished for which payment has not yet been
           made and (ii) all other reasonably anticipated Restoration Costs
           which have yet to be paid in order to achieve operation of [all] [a
           portion] of the Project; however, in our opinion, such insufficiency
           could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
           Effect.]

        b. The major rebuilding, repair and restoration activities and the
           progress of the rebuilding, repair and restoration of the Project
           through the date of this Independent Engineer's Restoration
           Certificate are proceeding in a satisfactory manner in accordance
           with the budget and the schedule for the Restoration.

             Requisition not incurred on or prior to the Disbursement Date are
