RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (together with the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of December 6, 2019 is by and among CVA FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), COVANTA ENERGY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, individually (“Covanta”), and as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the PURCHASERS and PURCHASER AGENTS (in each case, as defined herein) from time to time party hereto, and CRÉDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK (“CACIB”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The Seller desires to sell certain receivables owned by it to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and to grant a security interest in all of its other receivables to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers to secure the Seller’s obligations arising hereunder, in each case, in the manner and pursuant to the terms herein set forth. Covanta has agreed to act as the initial servicer with respect to such receivables in the manner and pursuant to the terms herein set forth. The definitions of certain capitalized terms used herein and rules of construction applicable hereto are set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto and forming part hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1. Purchase Facility.

(a)    Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1.2), (i) the Seller, as seller, may from time to time during the Commitment Period, request the purchase (each, a “Purchase”) of Pool Receivables for a purchase price equal to the Aggregate Funding Amount set forth in the related Purchase Notice, and (ii) each Purchaser Group shall fund its Group Commitment Percentage of the applicable Aggregate Funding Amount (its “Purchaser Group Funding Amount”) for each such Purchase as follows:

(A) if a Purchaser Group has a Conduit Purchaser, such Conduit Purchaser, at its sole option, may fund such Purchaser Group Funding Amount for its Purchaser Group (or, if there is more than one Conduit Purchaser in a Purchaser Group, may fund its internally allocated percentage of such Purchaser Group Funding Amount) or, upon notice to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and its Purchaser Agent, may decline to fund such Purchase, and (B) each Committed Purchaser shall, and hereby severally agrees to, fund its Internal Commitment Percentage of the remainder of (x) the Purchaser Group Funding Amount for its Purchaser Group, less (y) the amount (if any) funded by any Conduit Purchaser(s) in its Purchaser Group with respect to such Purchaser Group Funding Amount pursuant to clause (ii)(A) of this sentence for such Purchase.

-v-

(b)    Delivery of Purchase Request and Sold Receivables Schedule. Each Purchase of Pool Receivables made pursuant to Section 1.1(a) shall be made on the Business Day (the “Purchase Date”) requested by Seller for such Purchase in an irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”), which Purchase Notice shall attach a schedule (the “Sold Receivables Schedule”) identifying all Pool Receivables that will newly become “Sold Receivables” in connection with such Purchase as well as listing all “Sold Receivables” from any prior Purchase or Reinvestment (in any case, as selected in compliance with Section 1.2(b)). Each Purchase Notice (and related Sold Receivables Schedule) will be delivered by the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date. Each Purchase Notice will identify: (i) the Aggregate Funding Amount (and each Purchaser Group Funding Amount forming part thereof if there is more than one Purchaser Group) for such Purchase; (ii) the requested Purchase Date; and (iii) the pro forma calculation of the Capital Coverage Amount on the Purchase Date after giving effect to such Purchase, and showing that such Capital Coverage Amount equals or exceeds the Aggregate Capital at such time after giving effect to such Purchase. With respect to any Purchase, the Purchaser Group Funding Amount for each Purchaser Group shall not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(c)    Funding of Purchases. On the Purchase Date of each Purchase, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit II, each applicable Purchaser shall make available to the Seller in same day funds an amount equal to the portion of Aggregate Funding Amount to be funded by such Purchaser as determined pursuant to Section 1.1(a). Such funds shall be remitted to the Directed Account or such other account as is identified for such purpose by the Seller in the Purchase Notice delivered by the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent in connection with such Purchase.

(d)    Reinvestments. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1.2), the Seller hereby requests that on each day that is not a Termination Day, all Reinvestment Collections not previously applied under this subsection (d) shall be remitted to the Seller (or held by the Servicer on behalf of the Seller) to fund the purchase price of a reinvestment purchase of additional Pool Receivables that are newly designated as “Sold Receivables” on the books and records of the Seller in accordance with Section 1.2(b) (each such reinvestment purchase, a “Reinvestment” and the day on which such Reinvestment occurs, a “Reinvestment Date”). If the conditions precedent set forth herein for a Reinvestment have been met on any day, such Reinvestment shall occur automatically (without any further request or notice required to be delivered by Seller in connection therewith) and shall be deemed to have been funded by each Purchaser based on its Investment Percentage (as determined immediately prior to such Reinvestment) of the Reinvestment Collections being reinvested in connection therewith (that otherwise would have been for the account of such Purchaser and applied in reduction of its Capital). Upon notice by any Conduit Purchaser to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and its Purchaser Agent that it is declining to fund any such Reinvestment, each Committed Purchaser in the Purchaser Group of such Conduit Purchaser (ratably based on the Internal Commitment Percentage of each such Committed Purchaser if there is more than one Committed Purchaser in the applicable Purchaser Group) shall purchase

-2-

such Conduit Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of the Reinvestment Collections subject to such Reinvestment (by paying to such Conduit Purchaser the amount thereof in exchange for ownership of such Reinvestment Collections), and thereupon such purchased Reinvestment Collections shall be subject to such Reinvestment, together with all other Reinvestment Collections relating to such Reinvestment, pursuant to the terms of this subsection (d) (and treated hereunder the same as all other Reinvestment Collections in all respects); provided, that the Capital of any such Committed Purchaser (that purchases and simultaneously reinvests Reinvestment Collections pursuant to this sentence) shall be increased by the amount of such purchase and the Capital of any such Conduit Purchaser (that declines to make a Reinvestment) shall be reduced by the amount received by it from the Committed Purchaser(s) with respect to such sale of Reinvestment Collections described in this sentence.

Section 1.2. Terms of Purchases and Reinvestments.

(a)    Identification of Sold Receivables. The Seller shall maintain (or cause the Servicer to maintain on behalf of the Seller) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables subject to any Purchase or Reinvestment. The Seller and Servicer shall cause all Sold Receivables to be identified in each Sold Receivables Schedule and Information Package delivered hereunder; provided, that the Servicer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a list of Sold Receivables at any time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)    Selection of Sold Receivables. The Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables the “Sold Receivables” to be transferred in connection with each Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder solely in accordance with the following requirements: (i) each Sold Receivable shall be an Eligible Receivable on the date it is first included as a “Sold Receivable” in connection with the applicable Purchase or Reinvestment, (ii) the Sold Receivables shall be identified on an invoice-by-invoice basis and the transfer of each Sold Receivable hereunder shall be the transfer of 100% of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the invoice evidencing such Sold Receivable (such that such “Sold Receivable” shall constitute the full amount due under such invoice), and (iii) no Purchase or Reinvestment, after giving effect thereto, shall cause the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables at any time to exceed the Aggregate Capital at such time or be less than the Aggregate Capital by $100,000 or more or 0.5% or more.

(c)    Limitations on Obligation to Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, under no circumstances shall any Conduit Purchaser be required to fund any Purchase or Reinvestment. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller shall not request any Purchaser to fund any Purchase or Reinvestment, and under no circumstances shall any Committed Purchaser be required to fund any Purchase or Reinvestment, if after giving effect thereto: (i) any event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Purchase or Reinvestment, that constitutes a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event; (ii) the outstanding Capital of such Committed Purchaser, when added to the outstanding Capital of all other Purchasers (including any Conduit Purchasers) in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group at such time, would exceed the Group Commitment for such Purchaser Group; (iii) the outstanding Capital of such Committed Purchaser would exceed its Commitment; (iv) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Capital Coverage Amount at such

-3-

time, (v) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Purchase Limit, or (vi) the conditions precedent to such Purchase or Reinvestment set forth on Exhibit II have not been met.

(d)    Several Obligations. Each Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint. Accordingly, with respect to each Committed Purchaser’s obligation to fund its requisite portion of the Aggregate Funding Amount for any Purchase as determined pursuant to Section 1.1(a), (i) failure of any other Committed Purchaser to fund its requisite portion of such Aggregate Funding Amount shall not relieve such Committed Purchaser of its obligation to fund its requisite portion of such Aggregate Funding Amount, and (ii) such Committed Purchaser shall not be liable for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser (whether or not in the same Purchaser Group) to fund its requisite portion of such Aggregate Funding Amount.

Section 1.3.    Sales and Conveyances.

(a)    Sale of Sold Assets. Effective on each Purchase Date and each Reinvestment Date, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to: (i) each Pool Receivable newly identified as a “Sold Receivable” on the Sold Receivables Schedule delivered in connection with any such Purchase or newly identified as a “Sold Receivable” on the books and records of the Seller in connection with any such Reinvestment, (ii) all Related Security with respect to each such Sold Receivable, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and all other proceeds of, any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively with respect to each and every Purchase and Reinvestment hereunder, the “Sold Assets”).

(b)    Back-Up Pledge of Sold Assets. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance by the Seller to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Sold Assets constitutes an absolute and irrevocable sale of such Sold Assets by Seller and not a pledge thereof. Accordingly, the parties agree and intend that the conveyance of such Sold Assets by Seller hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (other than for Tax purposes). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Governmental Authority, bankruptcy trustee or other Person with authority to determine the characterization of the conveyance of the Sold Assets from Seller to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers hereunder characterizes such conveyance as a pledge or other security for indebtedness, then Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted, and Seller does hereby grant, to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, a first priority, continuing security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, arising or acquired and wherever located, to secure the prompt payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.

(c)    Security Interest Grant in Seller Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority, continuing security interest in and lien upon all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Seller Collateral, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, arising or acquired and wherever located. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the sale and back-up security interest granted by the Seller to

-4-

the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in, to and under the Sold Assets pursuant to

subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1.3.

(d)    Perfection. In connection with each Purchase of and Reinvestment in Sold Assets, the back-up grant therein, and the grant of the security interest in the Seller Collateral, the Seller hereby authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of all applicable UCC Financing Statements and amendments thereto in all jurisdictions necessary to perfect (and to continue the perfection of) the transfer of any ownership interest or security interest, as the case may be, created hereby, including any Financing Statement containing an all-property collateral description such as “all of the debtor’s personal property and assets” or language similar thereto. Each bank account owned by the Seller or into which Collections of Pool Receivables are remitted or held, including the Collections Accounts (and any Lock-Boxes attached thereto) and the Concentration Account, shall be subject to a Controlled Account Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent (and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that is effective to give the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority, perfected security interest through “control” (as defined in the UCC) in each such Controlled Account, and no such Controlled Account shall be subject to a control agreement or similar agreement that grants “control” (as defined in the UCC) to any other Person.

(e)    Authorizationsand Further Assurances. The Sellerherebyauthorizesthe Administrative Agent and hereby agrees from time to time, at its own expense, promptly to execute (if necessary) and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sales, security grants and other conveyances or transfers made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to enable the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to exercise and enforce rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes, and will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, at the Seller’s own expense, execute (if necessary) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence any of the foregoing. The Seller authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to the Subject Property without the signature of or further consent from the Seller. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies of a secured party with respect to the Subject Property that are available under the applicable UCC and under other applicable Law after a default, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.

(g)    Obligations Not Assumed. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the foregoing sales, assignments, transfers and conveyances set forth in this Section 1.3 do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of any Seller Party or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, any Subject Property, all of which shall remain the

-5-

obligations and liabilities of the applicable Seller Party or such other Person, as the case may be. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Regulatory Actions and Approvals required in connection with the Pool Assets (or any of them), all of which obligations and duties shall be retained by the applicable Originator and, to the extent deemed by any applicable Governmental Authority as being not so retained by the Originator, shall be performed by, and constitute the obligation of, the Servicer.

(h)    No Security. It is the intent of each of the parties hereto that no Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, the transfer of or interest in a “security” under U.S. securities laws or within the meaning of the UCC. The Seller agrees that all actions taken by it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be consistent with the foregoing intent.

Section 1.4. Settlement Procedures.

(a)    Administration of Pool Receivables. The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with Article IV and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect thereto. The Seller shall cooperate with the Servicer in performing its duties hereunder and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Servicer in furtherance thereof. Except as required by any Contract, applicable Law, or as directed by the related Obligor in writing, all Collections received from an Obligor of more than one Receivable shall be applied in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable.

(b)    Retention In Concentration Account. On each Business Day, the Servicer shall transfer from each Collection Account to the Concentration Account all Collections on deposit therein until the amount on deposit in the Concentration Account on such day is at least equal to the amount required to be retained therein pursuant to this subsection (b) on such day; provided, that Servicer may, at its option, transfer more than the minimum required amount from any Collection Account to the Concentration Account; and provided, further, if any such day is not a Termination Day, amounts not required to be transferred from a Collection Account to the Concentration Account (if any) shall be subject to release pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section. Subject to distributions to be made pursuant to Section 1.4(e) on any Settlement Date, on each day, the Servicer shall retain in the Concentration Account (from deposits made therein pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (b), Section 4.2(f), or otherwise) at a minimum,

(i)    if such day is a Termination Day, 100% of all such Collections and any other funds then on deposit in any Collection Account or the Concentration Account; and (ii) if such day is not a Termination Day, from Collections on Sold Receivables (or, if there is an insufficient amount of Collections on Sold Receivables, from Collections received on Pledged Receivables securing the Guaranteed Obligations or other Secured Obligations), an amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of all accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids (other than the Aggregate Capital) accrued through such day including accrued and unpaid Aggregate Yield, Fees, other fees, costs, expenses and indemnities for which a distribution is to be made on the next Settlement Date (or any of the foregoing that will accrue through the next Settlement Date if the Servicer reasonably anticipates, or is notified by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent reasonably anticipates, that there will be insufficient future Collections with respect to such obligations that

will accrue through such next Settlement Date), (B) the amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Capital exceeds the lesser of the Purchase Limit and the Capital Coverage Amount, and (C) the accrued but unpaid Servicing Fee (but subject to the right of setoff with respect to such Servicing Fee set forth in Section 1.4(c)(iii)).

(c) Release of Collections.

(i)    On any day that is not a Termination Day, Servicer shall remit to the Seller (or hold on behalf of the Seller), for the Seller’s own account, all Collections and other funds in the Concentration Account or any Collection Account that are not required to be retained in the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 1.4(b). The portion of such Collections that constitute Reinvestment Collections shall be released to the Seller as a Reinvestment payment pursuant to Section 1.1(d). Any Collections on Sold Receivables that are not Reinvestment Collections and that are released to the Seller under this subsection (c)(i) or that are distributed to the Seller pursuant to priority sixth of Section 1.4(e) shall constitute a guaranty fee for the provision by the Seller of the Seller Guaranty.

(ii)    The Seller may direct all Collections that are to be released to the Seller under clause (i) of this subsection (c) or that are to be distributed to the Seller pursuant to priority sixth of Section 1.4(e), to be remitted by the Servicer, on behalf of the Seller, to Covanta for the purchase by the Seller from Covanta of new Receivables pursuant to the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement (or as an equity distribution by the Seller to Covanta with respect to any Collections permitted to be released hereunder that are not Reinvestment Collections as long as such equity distribution is otherwise permitted hereunder, under the other Transaction Documents and pursuant to applicable Delaware limited liability company law).

(iii)    The Servicer may, at its option at any time prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, withdraw from the Concentration Account or any Collection Account the amount that is otherwise required to be remitted to and retained in the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(ii)(C) with respect to the accrued but unpaid Servicing Fee and offset such amount against the accrued but unpaid Servicing Fee due to the Servicer hereunder.

(d) Information Package; Distribution Information; and Distribution Mechanics.

(i)    As soon as available after each Settlement Period (but in any event no later than the second Business Day prior to each Settlement Date), the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent an Information Package as of the most recently completed Settlement Period. The Information Package shall, among other things, contain a data file showing the determination of the Capital Coverage Amount (including details of the calculation thereof).

(ii)    On or prior to the Business Day preceding each Settlement Date (or on such Settlement Date in the event that daily settlements are required by the Administrative Agent following the Facility Termination Date), the Administrative Agent

will notify the Servicer and the Seller by electronic mail of the amount of accrued and unpaid Aggregate Yield and Fees (as determined through such Settlement Date) to be distributed on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 1.4(e).

(iii)    Section 1.4(e) sets forth the priority of distributions for payments on any Settlement Date. If there is more than one recipient in any priority level and there are insufficient funds to pay all recipients in such priority level, such distribution shall be done ratably based on the maximum amount that could be distributed to each such recipient for such priority level distribution. Distributions shall be made to the bank account specified by the recipient in a notice to the Servicer. At the option of any Purchaser, amounts to be distributed to such Purchaser can be directed to its Purchaser Agent in such notice and, in such event, promptly following receipt by such Purchaser Agent of such distribution, such Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amount to the applicable Purchaser in its Purchaser Group that is entitled thereto.

(iv)    All references in Section 1.4(e) to the “Investment Percentage” of any Purchaser shall mean, with respect to the applicable Settlement Date, such Purchaser’s Investment Percentage as determined immediately prior to the open of business on such Settlement Date.

(v)    If at any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event the Administrative Agent has notified the applicable Controlled Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its right to exclusive control of the Concentration Account, all distributions to be made from the Concentration Account by the Servicer pursuant to Section 1.4(e) shall be made by the Administrative Agent or its designee (or any successor Servicer that has been appointed hereunder).

(e)    Settlement Date Distributions. On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall, in the manner described in and subject to the terms of Section 1.4(d), distribute all Collections retained (or required to be retained) in the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 1.4(b) or otherwise held in the Concentration Account at such time to the following Persons in the following order of priority:

(i)    first, to the Servicer, any unpaid Servicing Fee that has accrued through the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement Period (until the Servicer has been paid its Servicing Fee in full for such Settlement Period and for any prior Settlement Period), but solely to the extent not otherwise netted out from Collections by the Servicer pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(iii);

(ii)    second, to each Purchaser, all Yield that has accrued on the Capital of such Purchaser and has not been paid to such Purchaser for the Yield Period ending on such Settlement Date (or unpaid from any prior Yield Period);

(iii)    third, to each Purchaser, all accrued and unpaid Fees due to such Purchaser pursuant to the Fee Letter for the Yield Period ending on such Settlement Date (or unpaid from any prior Yield Period);

(iv)    fourth, to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser, and any other Affected Person or Indemnified Party, all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than with respect to the Capital of any Purchaser) payable to such Person by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (that has not been previously paid to such Person);

(v)    fifth, to each Purchaser, in reduction of the Capital of such Purchaser, an amount equal to either (A) if such day is not a Termination Day, such Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of the amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Capital Coverage Amount at such time and (B) if such day is a Termination Day, such Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of all remaining funds available to be distributed on such Settlement Date (until the Aggregate Capital has been reduced to zero); and

(vi) sixth, to the Seller for its own account, all remaining funds.

(f) Deemed Collections.

(i)    The Seller hereby agrees that if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of (A) any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, dilution, discount, or other adjustment (including an extension or adjustment made pursuant to the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines) made by any Seller Party, including in connection with the cancellation and reissuance of any Pool Receivable, or (B) any set-off, deduction, dispute or similar occurrence by or with an Obligor or by Law (any of the foregoing described in clause (A) or (B), but without duplication, a “Dilution”), the Servicer (if related to the servicing of such Pool Receivable) or the Seller (if related to the origination of such Receivable or if Covanta is no longer the Servicer) shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in an amount equal to either (x) the full Outstanding Balance of any such Pool Receivable that has been cancelled or reissued, or (y) otherwise, the amount of the applicable reduction, set-off, deduction, adjustment, dispute or other Dilution.

(ii)    If at any time the Servicer makes or is deemed to have made on any day a representation and warranty hereunder with respect to any Pool Receivable, or provided specific information in any Information Package or other report or certification with respect any Pool Receivable that, in any such case, is not true or correct at the time such representation and warranty was made or deemed made or such information was supplied hereunder, including (A) identifying any Pool Receivable as an Eligible Receivable at any time that it is not an Eligible Receivable, or (B) including the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable that is not an Eligible Receivable at any time in the calculation of the Net Receivables Pool Balance at such time for purposes of any representation or warranty hereunder or in any Information Package, report or certificate delivered hereunder, then the Servicer (or, if Covanta is no longer the Servicer, the Seller) will be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in an amount equal the full Outstanding Balance of any such Pool Receivable subject to such misrepresentation.

(iii)    Any Collection deemed to have been received by the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of this subsection shall constitute a “Deemed Collection” hereunder. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby agrees that it shall remit to the Concentration Account, from its own funds, the amount of any such Deemed Collection deemed to be received by it hereunder within two (2) Business Days’ of such deemed receipt as required by Section 4.2(f); provided, that if the day of any such deemed receipt is not a Termination Day and there are sufficient Collections (excluding Deemed Collections) held in the Concentration Account on such day to satisfy the minimum retention levels set forth in Section 1.4(b), then the amount of such Deemed Collection shall not be required to be deposited into the Concentration Account (or any other Controlled Account) and the Servicer shall release such Deemed Collections to the Seller in the manner set forth in Section 1.4(c)(i) (which may be paid to Covanta for purchases by the Seller from Covanta under the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement as described in Section 1.4(c)(ii)) or may be offset by Covanta, as Servicer, against the amount due to it as the Servicing Fee to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(iii)). If, subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller is required at any time to remit a Deemed Collection into the Concentration Account, the Seller and Covanta hereby agree, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that Covanta shall deposit into the Concentration Account the amount of any corresponding “Deemed Collection” (as defined in the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement) due by Covanta to the Seller pursuant to the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement in satisfaction of Covanta’s payment obligation thereunder and the Seller’s obligation to make such deposit hereunder.

(g)    Disgorgement. If and to the extent any Affected Person is required for any reason to disgorge or pay over any amount paid or distributed to it hereunder to an Obligor or any other Person (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in connection with any Insolvency Event of an Obligor or any other Person), (i) such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Affected Person and, accordingly, the Capital or other Aggregate Unpaids previously reduced or paid hereunder (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion with respect to how such funds were applied) shall be increased by the amount of such returned or disgorged funds and such Affected Person shall have a corresponding claim against the Seller hereunder for such amount and (ii) if any Seller Party thereafter receives a distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor or other Person, its bankruptcy estate, or any applicable trustee, custodian, receiver or similar official, the amount of such distribution shall constitute a “Collection” with respect to the applicable Receivable and shall be treated as a “Collection” for all purposes hereof and of any other Transaction Document, and such Seller Party shall accordingly deposit such amount into the Concentration Account as required pursuant to Section 4.2(f).

Section 1.5. Required Payments. On each Settlement Date, all accrued and unpaid Yield, Fees and other Aggregate Unpaids shall be payable to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.4(e). On the earlier of the Final Maturity Date or the date of the occurrence of any Termination Event that gives rise to or occurs after the Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall remit to each Purchaser an amount equal to the total outstanding Capital of such Purchaser and all other Aggregate Unpaids payable to such Purchaser; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the

foregoing obligation shall not be recourse to Covanta, any Originator or any other Seller Party (other than Seller).

Section 1.6.    Payments and Computations.

(a)    No Setoff; Timely Distributions. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset, counterclaim or other reason whatsoever (except as expressly contemplated hereby) and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York, New York time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account designated by the recipient from time to time in a notice to the Servicer. All amounts received after noon (New York, New York time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(b) Payment Currency. All payments and distributions made hereunder shall be in

U.S. dollars (lawful currency of the United States).

(c)    Late Payments. The Seller (with respect to amounts payable by the Seller) or the Servicer (with respect to amounts payable by the Servicer), as the case may be, shall pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due or payable hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate (based on actual number of days and a 365/6 day year), payable on demand; provided, that such rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.

(d)    Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due or payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of Yield or interest due thereon, if applicable.

Section 1.7.    Increased Costs.

(a)    Generally. If (A) the adoption after the date hereof of any Regulation or any change therein after the date hereof, (B) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any Regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, or (C) without regard to the date of adoption, effectiveness or implementation, any of the following or any Regulation promulgated by any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the following: (x) the United States bank regulatory rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modification to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted on December 15, 2009, (y) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or (z) any accord or other pronouncement of the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision or any successor or similar authority, shall:

(i)    subject any Affected Person to any Tax or other charge with respect to any Specified Matter, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected

Person of amounts payable under or otherwise in respect of any Specified Matter (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes);

(ii)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, insurance charge, special deposit, requirement for the maintenance of assets or capital, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, liabilities of or credit extended by, any Affected Person or shall impose on any Affected Person or on the United States market for commercial paper or the London interbank market any other condition affecting or otherwise in respect of any Specified Matter; or

(iii)    impose any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Person of performing its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on Affected Person’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it,

then, promptly following demand by such Affected Person through the Administrative Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Affected Person, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such Tax, increased cost or reduction.

(b)    Adoption of Regulations. The Seller acknowledges that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulation (including the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Seller under this Section 1.7 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Regulation, and the Seller agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.

(c)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 1.8.    Alternative Benchmark Rate.

(a)    Selection of Replacement Index. Upon a LIBOR Replacement Event, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Seller, will select a replacement index that will have such adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to in subsection (b) below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the rate determined using the LIBO Rate (as in effect prior to its replacement).

(b)    Replacement Index Amendments. The Administrative Agent and the Seller shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index and the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including Section 7.1) such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Purchasers, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Majority Purchaser Agents stating that such Purchaser Agents, on behalf of the Purchasers in their Purchaser Group, object to such amendment.

(c)    Standards for Selection of Replacement Index and Adjustments. Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a rate based on the LIBO Rate to a replacement index-based rate and

(ii)    may also reflect adjustments to account for (A) the effects of the transition from the LIBO Rate to the replacement index and (B) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBO Rate and the replacement index.

(d)    Alternative Benchmark Rate. On and after any LIBOR Replacement Event, the “Alternative Benchmark Rate” for each Yield Period will be equal to the new replacement index set forth in any amendment executed in accordance with this Section 1.8; provided, that (i) prior to the effectiveness of any such amendment, the “Alternative Benchmark Rate” shall equal the Base Rate (but only until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented) and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the foregoing replacement index is less than zero, the “Alternative Benchmark Rate” shall equal zero at such time for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 1.9.    Temporary Rate Disruption and Illegality.

(a)    Market Disruption. If at any time a Purchaser Agent has determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto) before the first day of any Yield Period, that: (i) the LIBO Rate or Alternative Benchmark Rate, as applicable at such time, in the relevant amounts and for the relevant Yield Period is not available, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or Alternative Benchmark Rate, as applicable, for such Yield Period, or (iii) the LIBO Rate or Alternative Benchmark Rate, as applicable, determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any portion of its Capital during such Yield Period, such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Agent. Upon delivery of such notice, the Yield Rate will be determined for the outstanding Yield Period and any future Yield Period based on the Base Rate unless and until the Purchaser Agent gives notice to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Agent that such circumstances no longer apply.

(b)    Illegality. If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period, any Purchaser Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any Regulation, or compliance by such Affected Person with any Regulation, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of Capital at or by reference to the LIBO Rate or the Alternative Benchmark Rate, as applicable, such Purchaser Agent shall notify the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Agent thereof. Upon delivery of such notice, the Yield Rate will be determined for the outstanding Yield Period and any future Yield Period based on the Base Rate until the Purchaser Agent gives notice to the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Agent that such circumstances no longer apply.

-6-

(vi)    any action (whether or not a breach) taken by the Servicer (or any subservicer, agent or independent contractor appointed by the Servicer) in the servicing, administration, collection or enforcement of any Pool Receivable or other Subject Property or the failure to take any action that purportedly should have been taken in connection therewith; or

provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Indemnified Amounts (a) to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification therefor, (b) to the extent that such indemnification would constitute credit recourse for uncollectible Receivables; and (c) in respect of Taxes other than Taxes arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 3.3. Indemnity for Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Seller, then the Seller shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. In addition, if the Seller is required to pay any Tax pursuant to paragraph 1(r) of Exhibit IV that is (i) related to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder and (ii) an Excluded Tax, the Seller shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such Tax paid from payments hereunder by the Seller. The Seller will indemnify each Affected Person against any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the

Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person for any Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated hereunder treated by any Governmental Authority differently than the tax treatment set forth in Section 7.7 (including any expenses or attorney fees related thereto).

(b)    Each Affected Person will notify the Seller of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Affected Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.3; provided, however, that failure of any Affected Person to demand indemnification for any Indemnified Taxes shall not constitute a waiver of such right to indemnification. Any notice claiming compensation under this Section 3.3 shall set forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Seller shall be obligated to pay any claim for Indemnified Taxes upon receipt of such written notice.

(c)    Each Affected Person agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 3.3 or compensation pursuant to Section 1.7 including, subject to applicable Law, a change in the funding office of such Affected Person; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Affected Person to take any action that imposes on such Affected Person any unreimbursed additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which such Affected Person reasonably considers material, nor which, in such Affected Person’s reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition.

(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing any material payment of Taxes by the Seller (or other applicable taxpayer) to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, (ii) a copy of the return reporting such payment or (iii) other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)    If any Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Seller, upon the request of such Affected Person, shall repay to such Affected Person the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to the Seller pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place such Affected Person in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Affected Person would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make

available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.

ARTICLE IV ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1.    Appointment of the Servicer.

(a)    Servicer Appointment. The servicing, administering, collection and enforcement of the Pool Receivables and other Subject Property shall be conducted Covanta, as Servicer, or any successor designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time as the “Servicer” in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to Covanta (in accordance with this Section) of the designation of a new Servicer, Covanta is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. On or after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (and at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents, shall) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Covanta or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)    Servicer Transition. Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Covanta agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Covanta shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include providing access to and transferring related records and permitting use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, in each case unless prohibited by law or any contract relating to any such license, hardware or software. Covanta hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, if the then-current Servicer so requests and the Administrative Agent approves in writing, Covanta shall act as the data- processing agent of the then-current Servicer and, in such capacity, Covanta shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Pool Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Covanta conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

(c)    No Voluntary Resignation. Covanta acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers have relied on Covanta’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Covanta hereby agrees that (i) it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer hereunder at any time prior to the Final Termination Date and (ii) it will not cease performing its servicing obligations hereunder prior to the Final Termination Date unless a replacement “Servicer” has been designated by the Administrative Agent hereunder and has commenced performance of the servicing responsibilities herein set forth. No replacement Servicer that has accepted the appointment hereunder shall voluntarily resign or cease performing its servicing functions prior to the Final Termination Date unless removed by the Administrative Agent prior to such date.

(d)    Sub-servicers. The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any sub-servicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation (i) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated; (ii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance; (iii) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that such agreement shall be subject to termination at any time (without penalty); and

(iv)    if such Sub-Servicer is not an Originator, the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation (and shall not have thereafter directed termination of such Sub-Servicer).

Section 4.2.    Duties of the Servicer; Duties of Seller Parties Upon Receipt of Collections.

(a)    General Servicer Duties and Standard of Care. The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary to service, administer, collect and enforce each Pool Receivable and other Subject Property from time to time, all in accordance with (i) this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, (ii) the Credit and Collection Guidelines, (iii) the applicable Contract related thereto (if applicable), (iv) all required Regulatory Actions and Approvals (with respect to itself and such Subject Property), (v) all other applicable Laws, rules and Regulations, and (vi) prevailing industry standard and commercially reasonable care and diligence (that is at least equal to the level of care and diligence applied by the Servicer to similar receivables, if any, managed by Servicer for its own account or for the account of any third party).

(b)    Modification of Pool Receivables. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Ineligible Aged Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or as required under applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for the purposes of this Agreement, (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original invoice related to such Pool Receivable unless such Pool Receivable has been cancelled and reissued with an appropriate Deemed Collection in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of the cancelled Pool Receivable being paid or applied pursuant to Section 1.4(f); and (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Ineligible Aged Receivable or limit the rights of any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(c)    Legal Actions Relating to Pool Receivables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on and after the Facility Termination Date or the occurrence of any Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer (whether Covanta or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce the collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon, repossess or take other action under any Related Security. In no event, however, shall the Servicer be entitled to make, or authorize any Person to make, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any other Affected Person a party to any legal action without such Person’s express prior written consent.

(d)    Servicer Performance Obligations for Pool Assets; No Release. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall (or shall cause the applicable Sub-servicer to):

(i) comply with and perform all of the terms and obligations that would be binding on the applicable Originator (if it had remained the counterparty) under each Contract related to a Pool Receivable, (ii) take or obtain all required Regulatory Actions and Approvals (if not obtained or taken by the applicable Originator) with respect to the Pool Assets and Subject Property, and (iii) pay when due all Taxes, energy surcharges and other governmental charges payable under any of the Pool Receivables or this Agreement. No exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers or any designee of any of them of their respective rights or powers hereunder, including pursuant to Section 4.4, shall relieve the Servicer of, or release the Servicer from, its duty to perform all obligations under the Contracts with respect to the Pool Assets and its other obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(e)    Obligor Payments. The Seller and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby instruct the Servicer to, and the Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees to, instruct all Obligors and any other Person making any payment with respect to any Pool Assets to remit all Collections and make payments on the Pool Assets solely to one or more Collection Accounts (or a Lock-Box linked to a Collection Account) that has been established pursuant to, and complies with the requirements set forth in, Section 4.3. Servicer hereby agrees that it shall not, and it shall not permit any other Seller Party to, direct any Obligor or other Person to remit any Collections or other proceeds of Subject Property directly to Servicer, any other Seller Party, or in to any other manner or in any other lock-box, bank account or location that is not a Collection Account (or a Lock-Box linked thereto). If an Obligor or other Person fails to so deliver Collections or other payments to a Collection Account or the related Lock-Box, the Servicer will use its best efforts to cause such Obligor or other Person to deliver all subsequent payments on Pool Assets to a Collection Account or related Lock-Box and shall comply with the requirements set forth in subsection (f) of this Section with respect to depositing such amounts into the Concentration Account.

(f) Seller Party Receipts. If, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in subsection

(e)    of this Section, any Seller Party receives Collections of Pool Receivables or other proceeds of Subject Property on any day, or is deemed to receive any Collections on Pool Receivables pursuant to Section 1.4(f) on any day, Covanta, the Seller and the Servicer each hereby agrees that it shall, and that it shall cause each other Seller Party to, hold such Collections or Deemed Collections in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and deposit such Collections or Deemed Collections into the Concentration Account as soon as possible and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such receipt or deemed receipt (except as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 1.4(f)).

(g)    No Commingling. The Servicer will not permit funds other than Collections on the Pool Assets to be deposited into the Concentration Account, any Collection Account or any related Lock-Box. The Servicer will not commingle Collections on Pool Assets and other proceeds of Subject Property with any other funds.

(h)    Receipt of Unrelated Funds. If, notwithstanding the prohibition on commingling hereunder, any funds that are not Collections of Pool Receivables or other proceeds of Subject Property are nevertheless deposited into the Concentration Account, any Collection Account or

any related Lock-Box, the Servicer will promptly, and in any event within two five Business Days after the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such deposit, identify such funds for segregation and turn over such funds to the Person entitled thereto (into an account that is not a Controlled Account hereunder); provided, that if the Servicer is not Covanta or any other Seller Party, the Servicer may turn over such funds to Covanta (for payment by Covanta to the Person entitled thereto) less all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections.

(i) Delivery, Maintenance and Return of Records.

(i)    Covanta shall cause each other Originator to deliver to it all Receivable Records with respect to each Receivable transferred to it by such Originator pursuant to the Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(ii)    Covanta shall deliver to the Servicer, on behalf of the Seller, all Receivable Records with respect to each Receivable transferred by Covanta to the Seller pursuant to pursuant to the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement.

The Receivable Records for any Pool Receivable shall identify detailed information with respect to all payments thereon and the satisfaction thereof.

(iv)    The Servicer shall xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Pool Assets to evidence that: (A) the Pledged Assets are owned by the Seller and have been pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (B) the Sold Asset were owned by the Seller immediately prior to the applicable Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder and have been sold to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers pursuant hereto. In addition, Covanta (whether or not the Servicer) shall, and shall cause each other Originator to, xxxx its master data processing records to evidence the sales or contributions of the Pool Assets pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreements.

(v)    Promptly after the Final Termination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller all Receivable Records with respect to the Pool Receivables that are in its possession or control.

Section 4.3. Controlled Accounts.

(a)    Establishment of Controlled Accounts. The Seller and Servicer acknowledge and agree that on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller has opened as owner and account holder, or been assigned ownership of, each of the Collection Accounts (including any Lock-Boxes related thereto) and the Concentration Account, in each case, that are listed on Schedule II – Part A.

(b)    Controlled Account Agreements For Existing and New Controlled Accounts. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Seller shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed and effective Controlled Account Agreement in respect of each Controlled Account identified on Schedule II – Part A. The Seller may establish a new Controlled Account (not listed on Schedule II – Part A) solely upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and execution by the applicable Controlled Account Bank, Seller and the Administrative Agent of a Controlled Account Agreement (or amendment to an existing Controlled Account Agreement, if applicable). Each Controlled Account Agreement for a Collection Account shall also apply to any related Lock-Box and all remittances and other items deposited into any Lock-Box shall be deposited solely into the related Collection Account. No Controlled Account shall be linked to any account other than another Controlled Account established in compliance herewith (or a related Lock-Box). The Controlled Account Agreements for each Controlled Account shall provide the Administrative Agent with “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC over such Controlled Account.

(c)    Account Representations; Qualified Bank. The Seller represents and warrants that each Controlled Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC and that the Seller is the owner of each such Controlled Account, free and clear of any Adverse Claims. Each Controlled Account shall be established at a Controlled Account Bank that is a Qualified Bank on the Closing Date (or, if established after the Closing Date, on the date such new Controlled Account is opened) and shall remain at all times subject to a Controlled Account Agreement.

(d)    Restrictions on Account Closings. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall, and neither the Seller nor Servicer shall permit any other Person to, attempt to close any Controlled Account unless, solely with respect to any Collection Account, the Collections and other proceeds of Subject Property directed to such Collection Account (or to any Lock-Box attached thereto) are redirected to another Collection Account at a Qualified Bank subject to a Controlled Account Agreement that has been established in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section.

(e)    Notice of Exclusive Control. At any time on or after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (and at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents, shall) give notice to each Controlled Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights to exclusive control under the applicable Controlled Account Agreement with respect to the applicable Controlled Accounts (an “Activation Notice”). Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent (either directly or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) exercises its right to deliver Activation Notices under the Controlled Account Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control of the Controlled Accounts and of all Collections of all Pool Receivables and all other proceeds of Subject Property. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the Administrative Agent exercising or maintaining such exclusive control. After any Activation Notice has been delivered by the Administrative Agent to any Controlled Account Bank hereunder, any Collections of Pool Receivables and other proceeds of Subject Property received by the Seller or the Servicer (other than in a Controlled Account) shall be sent immediately (and in any event within one Business Day) to the Concentration Account (or as otherwise instructed

by the Administrative Agent). Any Collections of Pool Receivables or other proceeds of Subject Property deposited into any Controlled Account or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent may be held in the Concentration Account or in any other account (including any account at CACIB) selected by the Administrative Agent (and may be commingled with other funds) prior to any distribution hereunder pursuant to Section 1.4(e) (with references in Section 1.4(e) to the distribution of funds in the Concentration Account including any such Collections or proceeds of Subject Property otherwise held by the Administrative Agent in any other account as permitted hereby).

(f)    Qualified Banks. If at any time the Controlled Account Bank at which any Controlled Account has been established ceases to be a Qualified Bank, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (and at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents, shall) require that the Seller to promptly (and in any event within thirty days of such notice) either, at the option of the Seller, (i) open a replacement Controlled Account with a new Controlled Account Bank that is a Qualified Bank and for which an effective and binding Controlled Account Agreement has been executed by the applicable Controlled Account Bank, Administrative Agent and Seller, or (ii) in the case of a Collection Account (but not the Concentration Account), cease using such Collection Account and redirect all Collections and other proceeds of Subject Property that would be otherwise deposited therein (or remitted to the related Lock-Box) to a different existing Collection Account (or related Lock-Box) that is at a Qualified Bank and subject to a fully executed, effective and binding Controlled Account Agreement. Failure of the Seller to comply with the terms of this subsection shall be an immediate Termination Event and shall entitle the Administrative Agent to deliver an Activation Notice, hold Collections at a different account and take the other actions described in (and subject to the terms of) subsection (c) of this Section.

Section 4.4. Enforcement Rights.

(a)    Enforcement Rights Generally. At any time on or after the occurrence of a Termination Event:

(i)    the Administrative Agent may, at its option (and at the expense of the Servicer) (A) provide notice to each Obligor disclosing the ownership interest or security interest, as applicable, of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Pool Receivables and other Subject Property, (B) direct each Obligor to pay all amounts payable under any Pool Assets directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), and (C) take such other actions as are necessary under FACA, any similar law, or otherwise to enable the Administrative Agent, its designee, or any successor servicer, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to collect payments directly from the Obligors and otherwise service, administer, collect and enforce the Pool Assets;

In addition, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent (and no later than two Business Days after any such request), whether or not a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred, each of the Seller and

Covanta agrees that it will deliver, and cause each other Originator to deliver, to the Administrative Agent, (i) undated and pre-signed notices of assignment that may be required under FACA or any other assignment of claims act or similar Law of any jurisdiction, which the Administrative Agent shall have the right to date and deliver at any time on or after an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination Event has occurred, and (ii) fully executed and notarized powers of attorney appointing the Administrative Agent or its designee with the power to notify, collect from and otherwise deal with any specific Government Obligor or Contract in the name and stead of the grantor of such power if such specific power is necessary or desirable in connection with exercising any of the rights and remedies herein provided.

ARTICLE V

SOLD RECEIVABLES GUARANTY

Section 5.1. Guaranty of Obligor Payments on Sold Receivables. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of the Seller hereunder in respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then such obligations of the Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Guaranteed Obligations are limited recourse obligations

of the Seller payable solely from its assets. No recourse shall be had against Covanta, the Servicer, or their respective Affiliates (other than the Seller) or any Officer, director, employee, limited partner, shareholder, authorized person of incorporator of Covanta, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates (other than the Seller), or any successors or assigns of any of them, for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable hereunder by the Seller.

Section 5.2. Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the Subject Property securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the other Aggregate Unpaids (or any portion thereof) or otherwise, and the Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any other Seller Party or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Seller further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. The Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Subject Property (or any portion thereof) securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the other Aggregate Unpaids (or any portion thereof) or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Seller’s obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor or any Seller Party or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor or any Seller Party. The Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor or any Seller Party, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent. The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser

shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Subject Property or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Termination Events) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations,

(e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Subject Property, (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Seller Party or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5.3. Modifications. The Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, any Seller Party or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Seller Party or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

Section 5.4. Waiver of Rights. The Seller expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Seller Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any

-7-

security therefor; (d) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any;

(e)    all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled;

(f)    any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by the Seller, to (i) proceed against any Obligor, any Seller Party, or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, any Seller Party or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, any Seller Party or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, any Seller Party, or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) any defense based upon principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (k) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Seller’s liability under the Seller Guaranty or the enforcement of the Seller Guaranty, (l) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims; (m) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (n) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Seller Guaranty.

Section 5.5. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Seller under this Article V shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 5.6. Remedies. The Seller agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared by the Administrative Agent to be, or with respect to a Termination Event of the type set forth in paragraph (f) of Exhibit V shall automatically become, forthwith due and payable notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Seller; provided, that the foregoing is subject in all respects to the last two sentences of Section 5.1.

Section 5.7. Subrogation. The Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Seller Party, or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Termination Date has occurred. The Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Seller Party, or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5.8. Inducement. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Purchases and Reinvestment under this Agreement in part based upon the Seller Guaranty that the Seller desires that the Seller Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Seller, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.

Furthermore, no Purchaser shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof in respect of a Purchaser Agent which is not the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser.

Section 6.3. Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Purchaser Agents, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitments of such Purchaser Group) or (ii) in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be

responsible to any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by any Seller Party, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of any Seller Party to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Exhibit II.

Section 6.4. Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Purchaser Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Purchaser Agents or the Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers, the Administrative Agent and Purchaser Agents.

(c)    The Purchasers within each Purchaser Group with a majority of the Commitments of such Purchaser Group shall be entitled to request or direct the related Purchaser Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of such Purchasers. Such Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of such Majority Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers.

(d)    Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Purchaser Agent or by any Purchaser on whose behalf such Purchaser Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Purchaser Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group and any assignee or other transferee from any such Person that becomes a Purchaser in its Purchaser Group and (ii) each action taken by such Purchaser Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchasers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Purchaser Agent and its Purchaser(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal, resignation and replacement of such Purchaser Agent.

Section 6.5. Notice of Termination Events. Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents have received notice from any Purchaser, the Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Purchasers. In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrative Agent), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers), but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents.

Section 6.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Purchaser Agents. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent, or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of any Seller Party and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent with any information concerning any Seller Party that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 6.7. Administrative Agent, Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and Affiliates. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and any of their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other business with the Seller Parties (or any of them). With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrative Agent in their individual capacities.

Section 6.8. Indemnification. Each Committed Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (but solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and its respective

officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by any Seller Party and without limiting the respective obligations of each of the Seller Parties to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Person as determined by final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 6.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller, each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, resign as Administrative Agent. Such resignation shall not become effective until (x) a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Purchaser Agents and has accepted such appointment and (y) so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller shall have consented to such successor Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions that expressly hereunder or by their nature survive termination of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by any Seller Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent, the Majority Purchaser Agents, and, in the case of an amendment, by the Seller and the Servicer; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall, (a) without the consent of each Purchaser, (i) extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date, the Final Maturity Date, or the date of any payment or distribution of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (ii) decrease the outstanding amount of the Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of any Purchaser), the Aggregate Yield or aggregate Fees (or the Yield or Fees payable to any Purchaser), or the Yield Rate (other than any waiver of any increase in the Yield Rate due to a Termination Event); (iii) increase the aggregate Commitment or the Commitment of any Purchaser; (iv) amend any requirement regarding the Capital Coverage Amount being equal to or in excess of the Aggregate Capital as a condition to any Purchase or Reinvestment, (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 7.1 or the definition of “Aggregate Capital”, “Capital”, “Capital Coverage Amount”, “Change in Control,” “Eligible Receivable”, “Facility Termination Date”, “Majority Purchaser Agents”, “Net

Each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No failure on the part of any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

All such notices and communications shall be effective when received.

Section 7.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Participations.

(i)    Any Purchaser may in its sole discretion sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Capital, its rights to the Subject Property, and its other rights and interests hereunder and under any other Transaction Document; provided, that such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer, Covanta, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the rights of the Purchasers set forth in clause (i) of this subsection, any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its in its Capital, its rights to the Subject Property, and its other rights and interests hereunder and under any other Transaction Document without notice to or consent by any Person.

(iii)    In the event of any such grant by any Purchaser of a participating interest pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of this subsection, such Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller and Servicer each hereby agree that each Participant (including any Liquidity Provider or Program

Support Provider that acquires a participating interest from the applicable Conduit Purchaser) shall be entitled to all of the rights under and the benefit of Sections 1.5 and

1.7 and Articles III and IV to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.

(iv)    Each Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent on its behalf) that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of its Participants and the amounts of each such Participant’s interest in any Capital, Commitments or other rights or obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser or Purchaser Agent shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in such Capital, Commitments or other rights or obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Capital, Commitments or other rights or obligations hereunder is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b) Assignments by Purchasers.

(i)    Any Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Purchaser”), in the same Purchaser Group or in a different Purchaser Group, all or any designated portion (the “Assignment Percentage”) of its Capital, other Aggregate Unpaids, rights and interests hereunder and under the Transaction Documents (including its interest in the Subject Property) and, with respect to an assigning Committed Purchaser, its Commitment, in any case, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents for the Purchaser Groups of the assigning Purchaser and Purchasing Purchaser. Subject to clause (iii) of this subsection, any such assignment among Purchasers shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Annex C with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto and the consenting parties (each, an “Assignment Agreement”), duly executed by the applicable Purchasing Purchaser and assigning Purchaser and duly executed as consenting parties by the related Purchaser Agents and the Administrative Agent.

(ii)    Upon (A) the execution of an Assignment Agreement by the parties thereto and the consenting parties, (B) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, the related Purchaser Agents and the Administrative Agent and (C) payment by the Purchasing Purchaser to the assigning Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any (or compliance with clause (iii) of this subsection), such assigning Purchaser shall be released from and relinquish its right to the Assignment Percentage of each and every right, interest and obligation of such assigning Purchaser and such Purchasing Purchaser

-9-

shall assume the Assignment Percentage of each of the foregoing, regardless of the purchase price (if any) paid for such assignment. Upon consummation of any such assignment as described in the preceding sentence, the Purchasing Purchaser shall be and become, for all purposes, a “Purchaser” party hereto (and a “Committed Purchaser” if the assigning Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser) to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto in such capacity and with the same rights, benefits and obligations applicable to Purchasers (and, solely if applicable, Committed Purchasers) generally. Any new Purchaser Agent for a Purchasing Purchaser shall also have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser Agent” upon execution of any applicable Assignment Agreement as a consenting party. The Assignment Agreement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of any such new Purchasing Purchaser and any new Purchaser Agent and Purchaser Group.

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Conduit Purchaser may assign its rights and interests to a Purchasing Purchaser pursuant to and in compliance with this subsection (b), but without any requirement for the consent of the Administrative Agent, its Purchaser Agent or any other Person (other than the Purchasing Purchaser) if the Purchasing Purchaser either (A) is a commercial paper conduit that has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent or an Affiliate thereof of the assigning Conduit Purchaser, or (B) is a Committed Purchaser, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider for such Conduit Purchaser. In such event, the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group may use their own documentation or internal records rather than execute an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment; provided, upon request of Seller, the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser Group shall confirm whether or not any such assignment has occurred and the amount of Capital held by each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group.

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent for the Seller (such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at an office of the Administrative Agent, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to hereunder and a register for the names and addresses of the Purchasers, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser and the aggregate outstanding Capital and Yield owing to each Purchaser from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchasers, and any other Affected Persons shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser and any other Affected Person at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Purchaser that assigns (other than a collateral assignment or participation) or transfers all or part of its rights and interests hereunder to a Purchasing Purchaser shall be required to provide the Administrative Agent with notice of such assignment in order for the Purchasing Purchaser’s assumed Capital, Commitment (if any), rights in the Subject Property, and other rights and interests to be reflected in the Register.

(c)    Purchaser Financing and Pledges. Without limiting the rights of the Purchasers otherwise set forth herein, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in

-10-

all or any portion of its rights and interests under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all or any portion of its interest in the Subject Property, and its interest in its Capital, to secure any obligations of such Purchaser or in connection with the management or financing of its assets, including, without limitation any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the United States Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a collateral trustee or a security trustee without notice to or consent of any Seller Party or any other Person; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto. The Seller and Covanta will, and Covanta will cause each Originator to, reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser for any information, certification or action by Seller, Covanta, individually or as Servicer, or any other Originator, necessary or beneficial in connection with any financing or securitization of its rights and interests in the Subject Property.

(d)    Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include any successors and assigns of such party; all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any parties hereto that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. None of the Seller, the Servicer (except as expressly set forth in Section 4.1) or Covanta shall, and Covanta shall not permit any Originator to, assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or any interest herein or therein, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent. Each Liquidity Provider and each other Program Support Provider not a direct party to this Agreement is an express third party beneficiary hereof. The Originators are not third party beneficiaries to, and have no rights under, this Agreement.

(e)    Enforcement By Agents. Without limiting any other rights that may be available under applicable Law, the rights of the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser may be enforced through it or by its agents.

Section 7.4. Costs; Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 3.1, the Seller agrees to pay, within five Business Days of demand therefor, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorney Costs, incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and any representative or agent thereof in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder, (ii) periodic audits and agreed upon procedures with respect to the Pool Receivables or otherwise conducted pursuant to any Transaction Document,

Section 7.5. Confidentiality.

(a)    By Seller Parties. The Seller and Covanta, individually and as Servicer, agrees with respect to itself that it shall, and Covanta agrees that it shall cause each Originator to: (i) refrain from posting to a website or publish or otherwise distribute to any other Person this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any pricing hereunder or thereunder and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of the information in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents relating to structuring fees, used fees, unused fees, other fees, yield, and other pricing terms, including in communications with third parties and any publications; provided, that the Transaction Documents and such information may be disclosed (A) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent; (B) as required by the rules of any stock exchange; (C) to legal counsel, accountants and auditors for the Seller Parties if such counsel, accountants and auditors agree to hold it confidential or are otherwise under a professional duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information, (D) as required by Law or pursuant to any binding court order, subpoena, or other legal process and (E) if required in connection with any litigation or dispute between the parties hereto (provided that each Seller Party will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for such information in connection with such litigation or dispute).

(b)    By Agents and Purchasers. The Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers agree to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information (that was not independently developed or acquired by such Person and that did not become public information in any manner other than by breach hereof by such Person) regarding the Seller Parties and the Obligors received by it in connection with this Agreement; provided, that such information may be disclosed (i) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality similar to the confidentiality restrictions herein set forth; (ii) to legal counsel, accountants and auditors of the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent if such counsel, accountants and auditors agree to hold it confidential or are otherwise under a professional duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (iii) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant (if it agrees to abide by the terms of this Section 7.5); (iv) to any regulatory or governmental authorities having jurisdiction, or claiming to have jurisdiction, over the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Participant, (v) as required by any Law, rule, or regulation, or pursuant to any direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings or as requested in any court order, subpoena, or other legal process, (vi) as required in connection with any litigation or dispute or in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies under any of the Transaction Documents, (vii) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as contemplated by Section 17g-5 of the Exchange Act, (viii) to investors and potential investors in Commercial Paper Notes of any Conduit Purchaser as required by regulations or regulatory authorities or the actual or potential financing source of any other Purchaser, and (ix) to any Liquidity Providers, Program Support Providers or equity investors in any Conduit Purchaser.

Purchasers) shall deliver to the Seller and to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to receipt of its first payment under any Transaction Document, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the relevant Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Seller, Covanta, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, to determine (i) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to withholding Taxes, (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) such Purchaser’s (or such other Affected Person’s) entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Purchaser (or such other Affected Person) by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Purchaser’s (or such other Affected Person’s) status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(q)    Compliance with Law Generally. Each Seller Party is in compliance with all applicable Law except where such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that where such compliance relates to any Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions, each Seller Party is in compliance in all respects and subject to no exceptions.

(r)    Compliance Policies. Each Seller Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain and enforce policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance by such Seller Party and its Subsidiaries with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Sanctions.

(s)    Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No Seller Party nor any of its Subsidiaries nor their respective directors, officers or, to such Seller Party’s knowledge, any of their respective Affiliates, agents or employees (i) has conducted their respective businesses or taken any action that would constitute or give rise to a violation of any Anti-Corruption Law or Anti-Money Laundering Law or (ii) is or has been subject to any action, proceeding, litigation, claim or, to such Seller Party’s knowledge, investigation with regard to any actual or alleged violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

No proceeds of any Purchase or Reinvestment have been or will be used in violation of any applicable Laws or Regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, including Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Sanctions.

(w)    Eligible Receivables Representation. Each Pool Receivable included as an Eligible Receivable in the calculation of the Net Receivables Pool Balance (in any Sold Receivables Schedule, Information Package, or other report, certificate or writing delivered hereunder) was, at the time of such inclusion, an Eligible Receivable.

(x)    Credit and Collection Guidelines; Controlled Accounts; Servicing. The Servicer has complied with, and the Seller has caused the Servicer to comply with, (i) the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines, and (ii) Article IV of this Agreement, in each case (as applicable), with regard to collection and servicing of the Pool Assets and other Subject

Property, establishment and maintenance of the Controlled Accounts, instructions to Obligors, remittance of Collections, and the other matters therein described.

Each Originator has complied in all material respects with the applicable Credit and Collection Guidelines with regard to the underwriting and origination of the Pool Assets.

(y)    No Termination Event. No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from a Purchase or Reinvestment in respect of the Pool Receivables or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, that constitutes a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event.

(z)    Accounting Treatment. The sale and contribution of Pool Receivables under the Purchase and Sale Agreements will be treated in its books and on its financial statements as true sales or valid capital contributions and, in either event, absolute transfers thereof by each Seller Party that is party thereto. Other than for Tax purposes, the Seller will account for each transfer of the Sold Receivables to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in connection with any Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder in its books and on its financial statements as sales.

(aa) No Fraudulent Transfer; Solvency. Covanta has given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value to each Originator in exchange for its acquisition of Pool Assets under the Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement. Either Covanta has made a valid contribution to the capital of the Seller in compliance with Delaware limited liability law or the Seller has given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its acquisition of Pool Assets under the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Purchasers have given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in exchange for the transfers and pledges contemplated by this Agreement and the obligations of the Seller incurred hereunder. No sale or contribution of Pool Assets under either Purchase and Sale Agreement and no Purchase or Reinvestment of Sold Assets hereunder was done with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors or constitutes a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any United States federal or applicable State bankruptcy or insolvency Laws or is otherwise void or voidable under such or similar Laws or principles or for any other reason. After giving effect to each Purchase and Reinvestment under this Agreement and each sale, contribution or other transfer of Pool Assets under either Purchaser and Sale Agreement, each of the Seller Parties is Solvent.

(bb) Ordinary Course. Each remittance or distribution of Collections and other funds by or on behalf of the Seller to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement has been (i) a payment or distribution on account of a sale consummated or debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller, and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller. The sales and contributions of Pool Assets under either Purchase and Sale Agreement and all distributions and allocations of Collections and other funds thereunder has been (i) on account of a true sale and conveyance or valid contribution between the Seller Parties that are the transferor or transferee with respect thereto, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller Parties, and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller Parties.

(cc) Special Purpose Company; No Securities; Seller Equity. The Seller has no operations or business other than in connection with the transactions described in the Transaction Documents or incidental thereto. The Seller is a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Covanta and all of the membership interests (and any other equity interests) in the Seller are owned directly by Covanta free and clear of any Adverse Claims. Since its inception, the Seller has been and continues to be in compliance in all material respects with the separateness covenants set forth in Section 4 of Exhibit IV. The Seller has not issued any securities (whether debt or equity) or any equity interests other than the limited liability company interests of the Seller issued to Covanta, which are held by Covanta free and clear of any Adverse Claims. The Seller has no Debt (whether matured or unmatured) outstanding other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents (if any). The Seller has no Subsidiaries.

(dd) Pari Passu Obligations; No Pledge of Covanta Notes. The obligations of Covanta, individually and as Servicer, to the Seller, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, arising hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, are not subordinated in any way to any other obligations of Covanta or to the rights of any other Person. No Originator has sold or pledged the Covanta Notes issued to it pursuant to the Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(ee) Investment Company Act; Xxxxxxx Rule. No Seller Party is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act and no Seller Party is “controlled by” any a company required to be registered as an “investment company.” The Seller is not a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder (the “Xxxxxxx Rule”). In determining that the Seller is not a “covered fund” under the Xxxxxxx Rule, the Seller is entitled to rely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5)(A) or (B) of the Investment Company Act (although other exceptions and exclusions may apply). The Pool Assets are “eligible assets” within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act.

(ff) Financial Statements. The audited consolidated financial statements of Holding and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Covanta and Seller, in each case (other than Seller), and its consolidated Subsidiaries, delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder (or publicly available) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, except to the extent expressly disclosed in such financial statements, and fairly represent the consolidated financial condition and operations of Holding, Covanta or Seller, as the case may be, and (in the case of Holding and Covanta) its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of and for the relevant financial period covered thereby except to the extent expressly disclosed in such financial statements.

(gg) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the most recent consolidated financial statements of Covanta and its consolidated Subsidiaries delivered (or publicly available) to the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date, there has been no event, circumstance, condition or change that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to have or result in, a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since the Effective Date, there has been no change in the Regulatory Actions and Approvals required to be taken by any Seller Party in the conduct of its

business that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to have or result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

(hh) Disregarded Entity; United States Person. The Seller (i) is, and shall at all relevant times continue to be, a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is disregarded as separate from a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and (ii) is not an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as an association for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Seller is not subject to any Tax in any jurisdiction outside the United States.

(ii)    Tax Filings. Each Seller Party has filed all material Tax returns and reports required by Law to be filed by it and has timely paid all Taxes, governmental charges and energy surcharges at any time owing, except for Taxes, charges or surcharges that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves in accordance with relevant GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

(jj)    Ownership and Transfers.

(i)    Immediately prior to any transfer to Covanta pursuant to the Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement, each Originator (other than Covanta) had good and marketable title to the Pool Assets purported to be transferred by it thereunder, free and clear of any Adverse Claims; each such transfer complied with the terms of the Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement; on the date of each transfer, Covanta had and is expected to continue to have the financial resources to pay any Covanta Notes issued or arising in connection with such transfer; and, upon giving effect to such transfer, Covanta acquired a First Priority Interest in such Pool Assets.

(ii)    Immediately prior to any transfer to the Seller pursuant to the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement, Covanta had good and marketable title to the Pool Assets purported to be transferred by it thereunder, free and clear of any Adverse Claims; each such transfer complied with the terms of the Covanta Purchase and Sale Agreement; and, upon giving effect to such transfer, the Seller acquired a First Priority Interest in such Pool Assets.

(iii)    With respect to any Subject Property at any time (or, if any Sold Assets have been transferred in a “true sale” hereunder, immediately prior to such transfer), Seller has (or had) good and marketable title to such Subject Property, free and clear of any Adverse Claims.

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a First Priority Interest in the Subject Property, free and clear of any Adverse Claims; no effective Financing Statement covering any Subject Property is on file in any filing or recording office, except (A) with respect to each Originator (other than Covanta), a Financing Statement filed in the jurisdiction of organization of such Originator naming such Originator as debtor/seller, Covanta as secured party/purchaser, and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as total assignee; (B) a

Exhibit III-2

Financing Statement filed in the jurisdiction of organization of Covanta naming Covanta as debtor/seller, the Seller as secured party/purchaser, and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as total assignee; (C) a Financing Statement filed in the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller naming the Seller as debtor/seller and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as secured party/purchaser; and (D) any Financing Statement for which the secured party identified thereunder has executed and delivered an irrevocable release of the Subject Property that is in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(kk) Broker’s or Finder’s Commissions. No broker’s, finder’s or placement fee or commission will be payable to any broker or agent engaged by any Seller Party or any of its officers, directors or agents with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or with respect to the transactions among the parties hereto or thereto as contemplated hereby or thereby.

(ll) No Reliance. Each Seller Party has consulted with its own legal counsel and independent accountants to the extent it has deemed necessary regarding the Tax, accounting and regulatory consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is party, and no Seller Party is participating in such transactions in reliance on any representations or warranties of the Administrative Agent, and Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, or counsel of any of them, with respect to Tax, accounting, regulatory, legal or any other matters.

2.    Reliance; No Waiver. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent or each Purchaser has entered into the Transaction Documents to which it is party, and all funding by any Purchaser in connection with a Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder, is made in express reliance on the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in this Exhibit III. The knowledge by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation and warranty provided by any Seller Party pursuant to this Exhibit III or any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument, certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, regardless of when, how or from what source such knowledge is acquired, shall not be a waiver by such Person with knowledge or any other Person of such representation and warranty or a waiver of the rights of any of them with respect to such breach. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers expressly reserves the right to assert any and all claims for, or arising from, the breach of any representation and warranty by any Seller Party, regardless of any knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter and no such Person has any duty to disclose any such knowledge to any Seller Party.

(a)    Preservation of Existence. Each of the Seller and Covanta shall preserve and maintain its existence, rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges, except with respect to Covanta, to the extent that the failure so to preserve and maintain such rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges by Covanta could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Seller, Servicer and each Originator shall keep all Receivable Records, servicing records and all other records regarding the Pool Receivables at the address(es) specified on Schedule III and keep its “location” (as defined in the UCC) in the State set forth in Schedule III unless it has provided at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Neither the Seller nor any Originator will change its name, organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization unless it has provided the Administrative Agent with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any proposed change thereof. Prior to any change described in this paragraph, the applicable Seller Party shall take and complete all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to protect and perfect each sale or security interest in any Pool Assets or other Subject Property conveyed pursuant to this Agreement or either of the Purchase and Sale Agreements as required under the UCC or other applicable Law. Each notice to the Administrative Agent sent pursuant to this paragraph shall set forth the applicable change and the effective date thereof.

(c)    Servicing Records. The Servicer shall, and the Seller shall cause the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers) to, maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing Pool Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all Receivable Records and all other records, documents, data and information stored in any Data Medium necessary for the servicing, collection and enforcement of all Pool Receivables (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of each Pool Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Pool Receivable).

(f)    Taxes Filings and Payments. Each Seller Party will file all material Tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all Taxes, governmental charges and energy surcharges at any time owing, except when failure to pay could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect or such Taxes, charges or surcharges are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves in accordance with relevant GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

(g)    Payment of Direct Taxes. The Seller will pay when due, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Direct Taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables, exclusive of (i) any Taxes imposed on any Purchaser (although for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Party shall indemnify and reimburse such Purchaser for such Taxes) and (ii) any Direct Taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with relevant GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

(h)    Tax Treatment of Seller.

2.    Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties. The Seller, with respect to itself, hereby covenants and agrees to comply at all times with the following, and Covanta, individually and as Servicer, hereby covenants and agrees that it will, and will cause either other Seller Party to, comply at all times with the following:

(a)    No Pledge or Sale. No Seller Party will, or will purport to, sell, transfer, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon or with respect to, any or all of its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the Subject Property except pursuant to or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Covanta will not sell, assign, transfer, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon the limited liability company interest, or any other equity interest or ownership interest, in the Seller. No Originator will sell, create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon any Covanta Note under which it is the payee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Covanta will not become party to, and will not permit there to be any, amendment, amendment and restatement, or other modification to the Credit Agreement (or any replacement thereof with the same administrative agent or collateral agent thereunder) that would cause the Subject Property, the equity interests of the Seller, or any Covanta Note to become collateral thereunder or for any Subject Property to no longer be within the definition of “Excluded Assets” thereunder.

(b)    Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Pool Receivable or the related Contract shall be amended, modified or waived in

Exhibit IV-2

any manner that would (i) extend the maturity date of such Pool Receivable, (ii) reduce the Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivable, (iii) change the original payment terms thereof,

(iv) give rise to any other material change in the terms and conditions thereof.

(c)    Change in Business, Business Structure or Beneficial Ownership. The Seller shall not make any change in the nature, character or scope of its business or its company structure. Neither Covanta or any Originator will make a change in the nature, character or scope of its business or its company structure that could adversely affect the collectibility of any of the Pool Assets or that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Seller Party shall make or permit any change in the information provided in the Beneficial Ownership Certification that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified therein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

The Servicer (and, if not done by the Servicer, the Seller) will provide the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent with a copy of any amendment to the Credit and Collection Guidelines.

(e) Compliance With Laws. No Seller Party shall, or shall permit its Subsidiaries to:

(v) directly or indirectly fund all or part of any payment or reimbursement obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document out of proceeds derived from any transaction or activity involving a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Jurisdiction.

Exhibit IV-3

(g)    Restricted Payments. The Seller shall not purchase or redeem any of its membership interests or declare or pay any dividend or other distribution in respect of its membership interests unless: (i) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such distribution is made solely from funds permitted to be distributed to Covanta for such purpose pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(ii); (iii) such equity distribution complies with the Seller’s organizational documents and applicable Delaware limited liability company law; (iv) Covanta remains the sole direct holder of the membership interests in the Seller after giving effect thereto; and (v) after giving effect thereto, the Seller is Solvent.

(i)    Merger and Sale of Substantially All Assets. No Seller Party will consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell, lease or otherwise transfer (in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person; provided, that any Person (other than Seller) may consolidate or merge with or into Covanta as long as (i) all requisite Regulatory Actions and Approvals have been taken and obtained; (ii) Covanta is the surviving Person after giving effect thereto; (iii) each Seller Party is Solvent after giving effect thereto; (iv) the Seller is not a party to such transaction in any respect and is not affected thereby; and (v) with respect to any Originator merging into Covanta, it does not affect the value, legality, validity, enforceability, or collectability of any Pool Asset originated by such Originator.

3.    Audit and Reporting Requirements. The Seller, with respect to itself, hereby covenants and agrees to comply at all times with the following, and Covanta, individually and as Servicer, hereby covenants and agrees that it will, and will cause either other Seller Party to, comply at all times with the following:

(a)    Audits. (i) Each of Seller Party shall, from time to time during regular business hours as reasonably requested in advance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, at the cost of the Servicer or, if a Seller Party is no longer the Servicer, the Seller (but subject to the proviso hereto), permit the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Agent, or, in each case, its agents or representatives (A) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records, documents, data and information stored in any Data Medium relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security, including the related Contracts, in the possession or control of such Seller Party; and (B) to visit its offices and properties for the purpose of examining such materials described in the foregoing clause (A), and to discuss matters relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security or its performance hereunder or under the Contracts, to the extent applicable to such Seller Party, with any of its officers, employees, agents, contractors and accountants (and will make its outside accountants available for such discussion) having knowledge of such matters; provided that unless an Unmatured Termination Event or

Exhibit IV-4

Termination Event has occurred or there is an audit deficiency with respect to any audit, the Servicer (or, if a Seller Party is no longer the Servicer, the Seller, as the case may be) shall not be responsible to pay or reimburse the cost of any such audit other than one audit per calendar year conducted by the Administrative Agent or its designee on behalf of the Secured Parties (which audit may be in writing and provided to the other parties hereto).

(b)    Agreed Upon Procedures Report. At any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall (at its own cost if a Seller Party is the Servicer or, otherwise, at the Seller’s cost) cause a firm selected by the Administrative Agent, and reasonably acceptable to the Servicer, to furnish a report to the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser pursuant to agreed upon procedures (AUP) that are satisfactory in scope to the Administrative Agent; provided, that such AUP report will not be requested by the Administrative Agent more than once per calendar year unless a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred or there is a material discrepancy or deficiency reflected in, or discovered in the creation of, any prior AUP report. The Servicer shall fully cooperate with each AUP review and promptly implement any recommendations made in the related AUP report.

(c)    Reporting and Notice Requirements. Covanta shall provide or, if Covanta does not provide, the Seller shall provide, to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent the following:

4.    Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and Covanta, individually and as the Servicer, hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from the Servicer, each Originator, and their respective Affiliates (other than the Seller). Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Seller (with respect to itself) shall, and Covanta shall and shall cause each other Seller Party to, take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or otherwise prudent under applicable Law to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any other Seller Party or any other Person and that the Seller is not a division of any of them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller, with respect to itself, hereby covenants and agrees to comply at all times with the following, and Covanta, individually and as Servicer, hereby covenants and agrees that it will, and will cause either other Seller Party to, comply at all times with the following:

Exhibit IV-3

(a)    The Seller will be a limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in its limited liability company agreement to (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from Covanta or any other Originator, owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets and other Subject Property; (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Subject Property; and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities.

(b)    The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability, other than as expressly permitted by both its organizational documents and the Transaction Documents.

(c)    As used in this paragraph, the terms “Board”, “Member”, “Officer” and “Final Payment Date” have the respective meanings given to them in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Seller dated as of the Closing Date (as in effect on the Closing Date). Not less than one independent director (the “Independent Director”) shall be on the Board of the Seller who is an individual who (i) is not, and has not at any time during the five-year period prior to his or her appointment as Independent Director been, a direct, indirect or beneficial owner, officer, director, employee, affiliate, customer, associate or supplier of any Seller Party (other than Seller), other than his or her service as an independent manager or in a similar capacity of any similar special purpose, bankruptcy-remote company; and (ii) has at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of its businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities. The limited liability company agreement of the Seller shall at all times provide that (i) none of the Seller's Member, the Board, any Officer or any other Person shall approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller without the prior unanimous written consent of the Member and the Board (including all Independent Directors); and (ii) such provision cannot be amended by the Member prior to the Final Payment Date without the unanimous written consent of the Board (including all Independent Directors).

(d)    The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee or any similar position, including as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller or any other Seller Party.

(e)    Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors, other professionals, a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(f)    The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Subject Property. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall pay and be responsible for the fees of any Controlled Account Bank (and the Servicing Fee reflects such cost allocation); provided, that the Seller shall pay such fees if not paid by the Servicer when due. Subject to the foregoing, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared any other Seller Party that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee or an arms’ length manager’s fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or any such manager’s fee

Exhibit IV-4

with any Affiliate of Seller, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; provided, that the Servicer may pay all (or any portion of) the expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees.

(g) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by any other Seller Party.

(h)    The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of each other Seller Party (subject to subsection (i) below).

(i)    The Seller’s assets shall not be included in the consolidated financial statements of any other Seller Party unless required in accordance with GAAP and any such consolidated financial statements shall contain detailed notes clearly stating that (i) such other Seller Parties are separate legal entities from the Seller and the Seller’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) the Seller’s assets shall be listed on the Seller’s own separate balance sheet.

(j)    The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of any other Seller Party.

(k)    The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with each other Seller Party, and ensure that funds or other assets of the Seller, on the one hand, are not commingled with those of any other Seller Party, on the other hand, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other joint depository accounts; provided, that the Servicer may have access to the Controlled Accounts for purposes of collections and distributions of Pool Receivables and other proceeds of Subject Property pursuant to the terms hereof.

(l)    The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with each other Seller Party. Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller, on the one hand, nor any other Seller Party, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and each other Seller Party will immediately correct any known misunderstanding with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.

(m)    No Seller Party (other than the Seller) shall pay the salaries of the Seller’s employees, if any.

(n)    No Seller Party (other than the Seller) shall advance funds to, or guaranty debts of, the Seller, except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents; provided, that an Affiliate of the Seller may provide funds to the Seller in connection with its capitalization.

Exhibit IV-5

(o)    The Seller shall not guarantee, and shall not otherwise be liable, with respect to any obligation of any other Seller Party.

(p)    The Seller shall be, at all times, adequately capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated in its limited liability company agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(q)    The Seller and each other Seller Party will take actions that are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Milbank LLP, as counsel for the Seller, in connection with this Agreement relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

(j)    the occurrence of (i) a Financial Covenant Breach, (ii) an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), without giving effect to any cure thereof or any waiver thereof by the lenders under the Credit Agreement, or (iii) any failure by any Seller Party to pay any principal, interest, premium, fee or other amount payable under any Material Debt when the same becomes due or any other material breach by any Seller Party of any term or provision of any contract, agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument that is material to such Seller Party or that evidences or relates to any Material Debt if, in any such case, such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the applicable contract, agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument, but without giving effect to any waiver thereof by the parties thereto; provided, that for purposes of this clause (iii), any breach that would result in or permit any counterparty to declare (whether or not such declaration is actually made) termination thereof, acceleration of amounts due thereunder, or any mandatory redemption or defeasance thereunder shall be considered a material breach for purposes hereof;

(k)    there shall have been filed against any of the Seller, Covanta, any other Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof: (i) notice of a lien from the PBGC under Section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 303(k) of ERISA for a failure to make a required installment or other payment to a Plan to which either of such sections applies and ten days shall have elapsed without such notice having been effectively withdrawn or such lien having been released or discharged, or (ii) a notice of any other lien the existence of which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect and ten days shall have elapsed without such notice having been effectively withdrawn or such lien having been released or discharged; provided, that the grace period under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) shall not apply if such lien is against any of the Subject Property;
