Upon the delivery of a replacement Warranty Period Letter of Credit by Project Co to Contracting Authority, all remaining cash proceeds from such segregated bank account shall be returned to Project Co or as Project Co may direct within five Business Days after the delivery of such replacement Warranty Period Letter of Credit by Project Co to Contracting Authority.
(kh) No interest will be payable to either Party in respect of any cash proceeds or Warranty Period Cash Amounts.
