In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall continue to provide the Trustee with reports containing substantially the same information as would have been required to be filed with the SEC had it continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. In such event, such reports shall be provided at the times the Company would have been required to provide reports had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.”

SECTION 5.02. Contingent Interest. Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing February 1, 2012, the Company will pay contingent interest (“Contingent Interest”) during any six-month interest period to the holders of the Debentures if the Trading Price of the Debentures for each of the five Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Debentures.

During any six-month interest period when Contingent Interest is payable, the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures shall equal 0.25% of the average Trading Price of $1,000 principal amount of Debentures during the five Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period used to determine whether Contingent Interest must be paid.

The Trustee’s sole responsibility pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be to obtain the Trading Price of the Debentures for each of the five Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period and to provide such information to the Company. The Company shall determine whether holders are entitled to receive Contingent Interest, and if so, provide notice pursuant to Section 5.03 and determine the amount of Contingent Interest payable. Notwithstanding any term contained in this First Supplemental Indenture or any other document to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties or obligations for or with respect to (i) determining whether the Company must pay Contingent Interest or (ii) determining the amount of Contingent Interest, if any, payable by the Company.

Contingent interest for any period shall be paid on the same date and to the same Person entitled to receive other interest payable on any Debentures. Contingent Interest due under this Section 5.02 shall be treated for all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture like any other interest accruing on the Debentures.

SECTION 5.03. Contingent Interest Notification. Prior to the first Business Day of a six-month interest period during which Contingent Interest will be paid, the Company will disseminate a press release stating that Contingent Interest will be paid on the Debentures and identifying the six-month interest period.

SECTION 5.04. Tax Treatment. The Company agrees, and by acceptance of beneficial ownership interest in the Debentures, each holder of the Debentures will be deemed to have agreed, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) to treat the Debentures as indebtedness that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”) and, for purposes of the Contingent Payment Regulations, to treat the cash and the fair market value of any stock beneficially received by a holder upon any conversion of the Debentures as a contingent payment and (2) to be bound by the Company’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations, with respect to the Debentures. A holder may obtain the issue price, amount of original issue discount, issue date, yield to maturity, comparable yield and projected payment schedule for the Debentures by submitting a written request for such information to the Company at the following address: Covanta Holding Corporation, 00 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000.

SECTION 5.05. Deposit of Principal or Interest. On or prior to the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent(or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.5 of the Original Indenture) an amount of cash in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the interest on or principal of any Debenture then outstanding; provided that if such payment is made on the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

(b) the Debentureholders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy and offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any costs, liability or expense of the Trustee;

(c) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 calendar days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(d) the Trustee does not receive an inconsistent direction from Debentureholders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures during such 60 day period.

A Debentureholder may not use this First Supplemental Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Debentureholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Debentureholder.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture and any provision of any Debentures, the right of any holder of any Debentures to receive payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price upon redemption or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Repurchase Price, as applicable, upon repurchase) and accrued interest on such Debentures, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debentures or in the event of redemption or repurchase, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Anything contained in this Indenture or the Debentures to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Debentures, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Debentures, on its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.”

SECTION 7.04. Failure to Comply with Reporting Covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this First Supplemental Indenture, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to perform or observe the covenant in Section 5.01 will for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the Debentures at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Debentures. Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates as the stated interest payable on the Debentures. Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Debentures from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 first occurs to, but not including, the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if an Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 is cured or waived prior

- 29 -

to such 365th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Debentures will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02 if such Event of Default is continuing.

After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Debentureholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Debentureholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

Any Debentures held by the Company or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company shall be disregarded (from both the numerator and the denominator) for purposes of determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures have consented to or voted for a modification, amendment or waiver of the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture.”

At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures for any Trading Day is greater than or equal to 95% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, and to notify the Company accordingly.

The Trustee shall be entitled at its sole discretion to consult with the Company and to request the assistance of the Company in connection with the Trustee’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 10.01(d), and the Company agrees, if requested by the Trustee, to cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Trustee in carrying out its duties under this Section 10.01(d). Upon determination of the Trading Price, the Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of such determination.

The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to determine whether the Debentures are convertible pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(8). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall make the calculations described in Section 10.01(a)(8) using the Trading Price provided by the Trustee.

(e) If a Holder has submitted any Debentures for repurchase pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02, such Debentures may be converted only if the Holder submits a withdrawal notice in accordance with Section 4.04 prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable, and if such Debentures are evidenced by a global Debenture, if the Holder complies with appropriate Depositary procedures.

- 35 -

(f) A holder of Debentures is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such holder has converted his Debentures to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Debentures are deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article 10.

(g) A Holder may convert a portion of the Debentures only if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000.

SECTION 10.02. Conversion Procedures; Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Debentures in certificated form, a Holder must (A) complete and manually sign a written notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in the form entitled “Form of Conversion Notice” attached to the Debenture, or facsimile of such Conversion Notice; (B) deliver such Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Debenture to the Conversion Agent at the office maintained by the Conversion Agent for such purpose; (C) to the extent any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s, furnish endorsements and transfer documents as may be required by the Conversion Agent and, if required pursuant to Section 10.08, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties; and (D) if required pursuant to Section 2.03(c), pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date.

In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in a Global Debenture, a Holder must (A) comply with the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture, (B) to the extent any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s, furnish endorsements and transfer documents as may be required by the Conversion Agent and, if required pursuant to Section 10.08, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties; and (C) if required pursuant to Section 2.03(c), pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date.

The date a Holder satisfies the foregoing requirements is the “Conversion Date” hereunder.

If a Holder converts more than one Debenture at the same time, the cash and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, if any, shall be based on the total principal amount of the Debentures converted. Upon surrender of a Debenture that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder, a new Debenture in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Debenture surrendered.

Upon the conversion of any Debentures, accrued and unpaid interest to the Conversion Date, with respect to the converted Debentures is deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

If the consideration paid by the Company to a Holder upon conversion of the Debentures pursuant to this Article 10 is not sufficient to allow the Company to comply with the United States federal withholding tax obligations imposed by the Code, the Company may, to the extent required by applicable law, recoup or set-off such liability against any amounts owed to such Holder, including, but not limited to, the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon

- 36 -

conversion to such beneficial owner or any actual cash dividends or distributions paid to holders of Common Stock with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 10.03. Settlement Upon Conversion . Upon any conversion of Debentures, the Company will deliver to converting Holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures being converted a “Conversion Settlement Amount” equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 Settlement Period Trading Days during the applicable Conversion Period. The Company will deliver cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the Conversion Settlement Amount on the third Business Day following the final Settlement Period Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period. The person in whose name the certificate representing any shares of Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the last Settlement Period Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period.

SECTION 10.04. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Debentures. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures, the Company shall instead deliver cash with respect to the fractional share calculated by multiplying the Closing Sale Price on the Common Stock on the final Settlement Period Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest cent.

SECTION 10.05. Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon a Non-Stock Change of Control.

(a) Subject to Section 10.12, prior to February 1, 2012, if and only to the extent a Holder elects to convert its Debentures in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control, the Conversion Rate applicable to such converted Debentures shall be increased by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as set forth below. Any conversion by a Holder will be deemed to have occurred in connection with such Non-Stock Change of Control only if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from the Business Day following the date on which the Non-Stock Change of Control becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date relating to such Non-Stock Change of Control and notwithstanding the fact that a Debenture may then be convertible because another condition to conversion has been satisfied.

(b) The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the Effective Date and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share for the Common Stock in such Non-Stock Change of Control. If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the Non-Stock Change of Control, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the five Trading Days prior to, but not including, the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change of Control.

The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner as and as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to this

- 37 -

Article 10. The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below (i.e., the column headers) shall be adjusted, as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted, to equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of additional shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased:


					Stock Price

Effective Date	$23.50	$28.20	$30.00	$35.00	$40.00	$45.00	$50.00	$55.00	$60.00	$65.00
January 31, 2007	7.0921	4.4158	3.7251	2.3830	1.5723	1.0611	0.7273	0.5030	0.3486	0.2403
February 1, 2008	7.0921	4.3822	3.6468	2.2458	1.4273	0.9292	0.6152	0.4112	0.2752	0.1828
February 1, 2009	7.0921	4.2062	3.4277	1.9881	1.1899	0.7308	0.4574	0.2893	0.1829	0.1140
February 1, 2010	7.0921	3.8428	3.0190	1.5716	0.8416	0.4639	0.2620	0.1502	0.0858	0.0473
February 1, 2011	7.0914	3.0982	2.2289	0.8745	0.3420	0.1388	0.0607	0.0287	0.0135	0.0048

If the Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above and the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices set forth in such table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates set forth in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by the Company by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year. If the Stock Price is:

(a) in excess of $65.00 per share (subject to adjustment), the Conversion Rate will not be increased; or

(b) less than $23.50 per share (subject to adjustment), the Conversion Rate will not be increased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate as adjusted exceed 42.5531 per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Article 10.

SECTION 10.06. Conversion Rate Adjustments. (a) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company for the following events:

(1) the issuances to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, or certain subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

OS₁

OS₀

where,

- 38 -

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination

	OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination

	OS₁		= the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such event.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 10.05(a)(1) of this First Supplemental Indenture is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(2) the issuances to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock of certain rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of 45 calendar days or less, shares of the Common Stock at a price less than the Current Market Price of Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

OS₀+ X

OS₀+ Y

where,

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date

	OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date

	X		= the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants

	Y		= the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market Price.

- 39 -

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for such distribution. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Record Date for such distribution had not occurred. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration if other than cash to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(3) the distributions to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, shares of the Capital Stock (other than the Common Stock), evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or assets, including securities, but excluding:

	(i)		any dividends or distributions referred to in the clause (1) above;

	(ii)		the rights and warrants referred to in clause (2) above;

	(iii)		any dividends or distributions paid referred to in clause (4) below;

	(iv)		any dividends and distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition resulting in a change in the conversion consideration pursuant to Section 10.07 below; or

	(v)		any spin-off to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 10.06(a)(3) apply,

in which event the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

XX₀

XX₀— FMV

where,

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date

	SP₀		= the Current Market Price

- 40 -

FMV

= the Fair Market Value, on the Record Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock.

If the transaction that gives rise to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (3) is, however, one pursuant to which the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consists of shares of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (i.e., a spinoff) that are, or, when issued, will be, traded or quoted on the NYSE or any other national or regional securities exchange or market, then the Conversion Rate will instead be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

FMV₀ + MP₀

MP₀

where,

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date

	FMV₀		= the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interests distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the effective date of the spinoff

	MP₀		= the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the effective date of the spinoff.

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(4) dividends or other distributions consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions made in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or upon a consolidation or merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition), in which event the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

XX₀

XX₀ — C

- 41 -

where,

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date

	SP₀		= the Current Market Price

	C		= the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(5) the purchases of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer; in which event the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁

CR₀

FMV + (SP₁x OS₁)

OS₀ x SP₁

where,

	CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date

	CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Date

	FMV		= the Fair Market Value, on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date

	OS₁		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”)

	OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time

- 42 -

SP₁

= the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the Expiration Date.

An adjustment, if any, to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.06(a)(5) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Section 10.06(a)(5) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 10.06(a)(5).

(b) In cases where the Fair Market Value of assets, debt securities or certain rights, warrants or options to purchase the Company’s securities, applicable to one share of Common Stock, distributed to stockholders:

(i) equals or exceeds the average Closing Sale Price of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Record Date for such distribution, or

(ii) such average Closing Sale Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of such assets, debt securities or rights, warrants or options so distributed by less than $1.00,

rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, the Holder of a Debenture will be entitled to receive upon conversion, in addition to the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities or rights, warrants or options comprising the distribution, if any, that such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted such Debentures immediately prior to the Record Date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may from time to time increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of at least 20 Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Debentures a notice of the increase, which notice will be given at least 15 calendar days prior to the effectiveness of any such increase, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(d) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.06(a)(1)-(5), as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or

- 43 -

distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least one percent (1%) in such Conversion Rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 10.06(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and the Company shall make such carry forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (x) annually on the anniversary of the Closing Date and otherwise (y)(1) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date of the Debentures (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or (2) prior to the Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.

All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock for any issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or convertible for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing. Interest will not accrue on any cash into which the Debentures are convertible.

(f) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company will issue a press release containing the relevant information and make this information available on the Company’s website or through another public medium as the Company may use at that time. In addition, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has actual knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Debentures at his last address appearing on the Register, within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(g) In any case in which this Section 10.06 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (i) a Record Date for a dividend or distribution described in Section 10.06(a)(1), 10.06(a)(3), 10.06(a)(4), (ii) the effective date for a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock described in Section 10.06(a)(1), (iii) a Record Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive a rights or warrants pursuant to Section 10.06(a)(2), or (iv) the expiration date for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 10.06(a)(5), (each a “Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the holder of any Debentures converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and

- 44 -

above the Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to Section 10.04. For purposes of this Section 10.06(g), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean:

(a) in any case referred to in clause (i) hereof, the date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made,

(b) in any case referred to in clause (ii) hereof, the occurrence of such event,

(d) in any case referred to in clause (iv) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 10.06 if the holders of the Debentures will participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06 without conversion of such holder’s Debentures. In addition, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:

(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program or employee stock purchase plan of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries; or

(3) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(i) For purposes of this Section 10.06, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(j) Whenever any provision of this Article 10 requires a calculation of an average of Closing Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments (determined by the Board of Directors) to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which the average is to be calculated.

- 45 -

(k) If the Conversion Rate of the Debentures is adjusted pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture, to the extent such adjustment results in a constructive distribution to beneficial owners of Debentures under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company may, to the extent required by law, recoup or set-off any United States federal withholding tax liability against any payments (whether in cash or Common Stock) made with respect to the Debentures (or any Common Stock received upon conversion thereof) to such beneficial owners.

SECTION 10.07. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur:

(a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination to which Section 10.06(a)(1) applies),

(b) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person or any sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any other Person or Persons,

and, in either case, the holders of Common Stock receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, (any such event or transaction, a “Reorganization Event”), in each case, the Company or the successor Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture, if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that such Debentures shall, without the consent of any holders of Debentures, become convertible based on the cash, securities or other property consideration that holders of Common Stock received in such Reorganization Event (the “Reference Property”) except in the limited case of a Public Acquirer Change of Control where the Public Acquirer elects to have the Debentures convertible based on a Conversion Rate of a number of shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock as described in Section 10.12. If the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the Reference Property into which the Debentures will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. In all cases, the provisions under Section 10.03 shall continue to apply with respect to the calculation of the Conversion Settlement Amount. The Company hereby agrees not to become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register of the Debentures maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

- 46 -

The above provisions of this Section 10.07 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, transfers, conveyances or other dispositions.

If this Section 10.07 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.06 shall not apply. Notwithstanding this Section 10.07, if a Public Acquirer Change of Control occurs and the Company elects to adjust its conversion obligation and the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.12, the provisions of Section 10.12 shall apply to the conversion instead of this Section 10.07.

SECTION 10.08. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Debentures shall be made without charge to the converting holder of Debentures for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Debentures converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 10.09. Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock.

SECTION 10.13. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion.

(c) By 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first Settlement Period Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Period, the Company must notify the Holder surrendering Debentures for conversion that it has directed the Conversion Agent to surrender such Debentures to the Financial Institution for exchange in lieu of conversion.

- 49 -

COVANTA HOLDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, promises to pay to [Cede & Co.], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [___] Million Dollars ($___) or such lesser amount as is indicated in the records of the Trustee and DTC, on February 1, 2027, and to pay interest thereon from January 31, 2007, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2007, at the rate of 1.00% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment or converted. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more predecessor Debentures) is registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 15 or July 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more predecessor Debentures) is registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Debentures not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof).

Interest on the Debentures for a Full Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day period consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Debentures for any period other than a Full Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period and a 365-day year. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of such payment by virtue of the payment being made on such later date.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Debenture set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Debenture shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of said State.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof) or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

TERMS OF DEBENTURES

1.00% Convertible Senior Debenture due 2027

COVANTA HOLDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), issued these Debentures under an Indenture dated as of January 18, 2007, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 31, 2007 (as so amended and as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Debentures are, and are to be, authorized and delivered. All terms used in this Debenture which are defined in the Indenture or the First Supplement Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, as applicable. In the event of any inconsistency between the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

Further Provisions Relating to Interest

(a) Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing February 1, 2012, the Company will pay interest (“Contingent Interest”) during any six-month interest period if the Trading Price of the Debentures for each of the five Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Debentures. During any six-month interest period when Contingent Interest is payable, the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures shall equal 0.25% of the average Trading Price of $1,000 principal amount of Debentures during the five Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period used to determine whether Contingent Interest must be paid. The Company shall determine if Contingent Interest is payable. If Contingent Interest is payable by the Company, the Company shall determine the amount of Contingent Interest payable and shall set forth such calculations in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

(b) (c) In the event of the Company’s failure to perform or observe the covenant in Section 5.01, the Company will pay additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the Debentures at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Debentures for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default. Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates as the stated interest payable on the Debentures. Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Debentures from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 first occurs to, but not including, the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or earlier, if an Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.01 is cured or waived prior

A-4

to such 365th day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Debentures will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02 if such Event of Default is continuing.

(c) The Company shall pay interest (to the extent lawful) on overdue principal, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Repurchase Price or interest at the rate per annum borne by the Debentures plus 1%.

Method of Payment

By no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Debenture is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such amount in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Company shall pay interest on:

(a) any Global Debentures by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee;

(b) on any Debentures in certificated form having a principal amount of less than $5,000,000, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Register, provided, however, that the interest payable on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom the principal amount is paid; and

(c) on any Debentures in certificated form having a principal amount of $5,000,000 or more, by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of the holder of such Debentures duly delivered to the trustee at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, provided, however, that the interest payable on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom the principal amount is paid.
