- 9 -

(30th) day following the Seller’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Parties have not agreed in writing to the resolution of the matters identified in the Dispute Notice or have not agreed in writing to the revised Actual Net Working Capital (including the Post-Closing Payment (if any)), then such matters shall be submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accountants to prepare and deliver a revised Actual Net Working Capital Statement (including the calculation of the Post-Closing Payment (if any)) taking into account all items not in dispute between the Parties and those items requested by the Parties to be resolved by the Independent Accountants.

(ii) With respect to the Operator:

(B) If the Actual Net Working Capital for the Operator is less than the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Operator by an amount equal to Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000), the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Net Working Capital for the Operator, and the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Operator in excess of Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000).

The Buyer shall, in preparing such return, cause the items for which the Seller may be liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the Seller’s instructions (unless, in the opinion of internationally recognized tax counsel or accountant to the Buyer, complying with the Seller’s instructions would likely subject the Buyer to material prejudice to its interests or any criminal penalty or to civil penalties under Sections 6662 through 6664 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States America (the “Code”) or similar provisions of applicable state, local or non-United States Laws) and, in the absence of such prejudice or having received such instructions, in accordance with the Seller’s past practice, if any, to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

(iv) So long as not of material prejudice to the Buyer’s interests, and at the Seller’s expense, the Buyer shall cooperate and, to the extent within its control, cause the Covanta Shareholder and Operator to cooperate, in obtaining any Tax refund that the Seller reasonably believes should be available, including through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Tax authority.

If the Seller does so consent, the Buyer shall be liable for, and shall pay, any Tax attributable to or resulting from, the making of such election and will indemnify the Seller from and against any Tax liability or other adverse consequences attributable to, or resulting directly or indirectly from, the making of such election.

(i) The Buyer hereby agrees that it shall not be entitled to indemnification by the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1 for any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in Article III or the Seller’s Closing Certificate to the extent that the Buyer knew or should have known from information disclosed in the Data Room or the Seller Disclosure Letter (subject to updating pursuant to Section 6.4), to the extent they were complete in all material respects and fairly disclosed, that, as of the date of this Agreement or at the Closing, any such representation or warranty is untrue or incorrect.

- 29 -

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, the Parties intend to shorten the statute of limitations and agree that after the Closing Date, any claim or cause of action against any of the Parties based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations or warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or their respective closing certificates, may be brought only as expressly provided in this Article IX.

9.3 Defenses of Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, or of the commencement of any claim, demand action, suit or proceeding made or brought by any Person other than a member of the Buyer Group or a member of the Seller Group (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which indemnification is to be sought from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such notice shall describe the nature of the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail (including a copy of the Third Party Claim, if made in writing) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted, and the Indemnitee will upon reasonable request of an Indemnifying Party cooperate in good faith in such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, it will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. In the event, however, the Indemnitee reasonably determines in its judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendants in any such Third Party Claim include both such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim that would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee does not simultaneously receive full indemnification hereunder or that would fail to result in the Indemnitee receiving a release of any Third Party Claims. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense within thirty (30) days after an Indemnitee provides written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnitee will have the right to defend against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for indemnification hereunder for the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at any time thereafter; and provided, further, that the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(c) If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be

subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any third party in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party is then in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss and (ii) until the Indemnitee recovers full payment of its Indemnifiable Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subject in right of payment to the Indemnitee’s rights against such third party.

(d) A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Section 9.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Party hereunder except if, and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Party that was entitled to receive such notice was actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

The Seller and the Buyer may to the extent permitted by applicable Law (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in their respective closing certificates or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or agreements of, or satisfaction of the conditions to be satisfied by, the other Party contained herein. No such extension or waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, extending the time of performance or waiving any such inaccuracy, non-compliance or non-satisfaction. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and except as provided in Article IX (which are expressly intended to be for the benefit of the persons entitled to therein, and may be enforced by any of such Persons), it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.
