     2.5 Purchase Price Adjustment.

          (a) No later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 of each of the Project Company and the Operator’s Philippine branch office, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a written statement (the “Actual Net Working Capital Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Seller’s good faith calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital for (i) the Project Company and (ii) the Operator.

          (b) The Buyer may, in good faith, dispute the Actual Net Working Capital Statement by delivery of a written notice thereof (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Seller within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Actual Net Working Capital Statement; provided, that the Buyer may dispute the Actual Net Working Capital Statement based only on the following: (i) the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company and/or the Operator is different from the Seller’s good faith calculation thereof; (ii) the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company and/or the Operator was not calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.5(b) or (iii) the balance sheet items as of December 31, 2010 were not calculated in the same manner as such balance sheet items were calculated for the Project Company and/or the Operator for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 (the calculation of aggregate actual net working capital for the Project Company and/or the Operator for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 determined in accordance with methodology set forth on Schedule 2.5(b) is set forth on Exhibit F); provided, further, that in no event may the Buyer otherwise dispute the Actual Net Working Capital Statement for the Project Company and/or the Operator if the manner in which the applicable accounting principles were applied or the interpretation of those principles has been historically consistent. The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail all items disputed by the Buyer, together with the Buyer’s proposed changes thereto (including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which the Buyer proposed such changes). If (i) by written notice to the Seller, the Buyer accepts the Actual Net Working Capital Statement or (ii) the Buyer fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within the prescribed thirty (30)-day period (which failure shall result in the Buyer being deemed to have agreed to the Actual Net Working Capital Statement delivered by the Seller), the Actual Net Working Capital Statement delivered by the Seller shall become final and binding on the Parties as of the date on which the earlier of the foregoing events occurs.

          (c) If the Buyer has timely delivered a Dispute Notice, then the Parties shall attempt to reach agreement on the matters identified in the Dispute Notice and, based thereon, agree on the revised Actual Net Working Capital (including the Post-Closing Payment (if any)). If, by the thirtieth

(30th) day following the Seller’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Parties have not agreed in writing to the resolution of the matters identified in the Dispute Notice or have not agreed in writing to the revised Actual Net Working Capital (including the Post-Closing Payment (if any)), then such matters shall be submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accountants to prepare and deliver a revised Actual Net Working Capital Statement (including the calculation of the Post-Closing Payment (if any)) taking into account all items not in dispute between the Parties and those items requested by the Parties to be resolved by the Independent Accountants. The Buyer and the Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants access to such employees, officers, and facilities and such books and records relating to the disputed items as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne 50% by the Seller, on the one hand, and 50% by the Buyer, on the other hand. The revised Actual Net Working Capital Statement (including the calculation of the Post-Closing Payment thereon) delivered by the Independent Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Independent Accountants shall act as experts, not as arbitrators.

          (d) As soon as a revised Actual Net Working Capital Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or (c), the following amount payable shall be determined conclusively (the “Post-Closing Payment”):

          (i) With respect to the Project Company:

          (A) If the Seller’s proportionate share of the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company is greater than the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Project Company by an amount equal to One Million Dollars (US$1,000,000), the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the difference between Seller’s proportionate share of the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company, and the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Project Company in excess of One Million Dollars (US$1,000,000); or

          (B) If the Seller’s proportionate share of the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company is less than the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Project Company by an amount equal to One Million Dollars (US$1,000,000), the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the difference between Seller’s proportionate share of the Actual Net Working Capital for the Project Company, and the Target Year-End Net Working Capital for the Project Company in excess of One Million Dollars (US$1,000,000).

          (ii) With respect to the Operator:

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

Covanta Shareholder and Operator to, use commercially reasonable efforts that are within its control to cause the applicable Project Entities and the Operator to, grant to the Seller and its Representatives reasonable cooperation, staff assistance and access at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to all books and records of the Covanta Shareholder and Operator and the applicable Project Entities relating to the period prior to the Closing (including to make and retain copies thereof) that are not otherwise subject to restrictions for confidentiality with respect to unrelated third parties or protected by legal privilege.

          (b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts within its control to promptly complete the financial audit of the Covanta Shareholder (including its subsidiaries), each Project Entity and the Operator for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, and promptly deliver, upon completion thereof, the Financial Statements, which shall be prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the relevant jurisdiction used with respect thereto for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and consistently applied, so as to permit the Seller (if required) to timely complete its audit for, and Tax filings with respect to, the same period.

          (a) From the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Seller shall give written notice to the Buyer of any omission from the Seller Disclosure Letter or the Data Room that has caused or would be reasonably likely to cause, or the occurrence (or failure to occur) after the date hereof of any event which occurrence or failure has caused or would be reasonably likely to cause, any covenant, representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any information or matter in any Schedule of the Seller Disclosure Letter to be breached, untrue, inaccurate or incomplete. In such event, such written notice shall be deemed to have amended the Seller Disclosure Letter and to have qualified the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement only for the purpose of Section 9.1(i).

          (b) Any actual and specific information disclosed for any purpose in any Schedule to the Seller Disclosure Letter and all materials in the Data Room shall be deemed disclosed for any other purpose in such Schedule or any other Schedule to the Seller Disclosure Letter or with respect to any other Section of this Agreement to the extent fairly related thereto. The inclusion of any information or other matter referenced or disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter or in the Data Room shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by the Seller, or otherwise imply that such item or matter is otherwise material for the purposes of this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter.

     6.5 Fees, Expenses and Stamp Duties.

          (a) The Seller shall pay all fees, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel, financial advisors and accountants and any capital gains, income and profit Taxes) incurred by the Seller incidental to or in connection with its negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

     6.6 Conduct of Tax Affairs.

          (a) Tax Returns.

     (i) To the extent under its control, the Seller shall cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or on behalf of the Covanta Shareholder, the Operator and the applicable Project Entity to the extent required for the direct or indirect ownership thereof by the Seller in any such applicable entity (to such extent, the “Seller Group Companies”) for taxable years or periods ended on or before the Closing Date, and Seller shall be responsible to remit (or cause to be remitted) all Taxes owed by it to the extent required for such ownership for all such taxable years or periods and the Seller shall be entitled to claim and receive, and the Buyer shall procure to cause (to the extent within the Buyer’s control) the Seller to receive, all Tax refunds attributable to such years or periods for such ownership.

     (ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.7(a)(i), the Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by it in respect of the Seller Group Companies and, to the extent within its control, caused to be filed when due all Tax Returns on behalf of the Seller Group Companies, in each case for taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible to remit (or cause to be remitted) in respect of such Tax Returns any Taxes for such years or periods.

     (iii) Any Tax Return required to be filed by the Buyer pursuant to Section 6.7(b)(ii) relating to any taxable year or period beginning on or before the Closing Date shall be submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers and other documentation then available) to the Seller for its review not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return, which review shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Seller shall have the option of providing to the Buyer, at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date, written instructions as to how the Seller wants any, or all, of the items for which it may be liable hereunder reflected on such Tax Return. The Buyer shall, in preparing such return, cause the items for which the Seller may be liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the Seller’s instructions (unless, in the opinion of internationally recognized tax counsel or accountant to the Buyer, complying with the Seller’s instructions would likely subject the Buyer to material prejudice to its interests or any criminal penalty or to civil penalties under Sections 6662 through 6664 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States America (the “Code”) or similar provisions of applicable state, local or non-United States Laws) and, in the absence of such prejudice or having received such instructions, in accordance with the Seller’s past practice, if any, to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

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

          (b) Assistance and Cooperation.

     (i) The Seller and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in preparing and filing all Tax Returns for which they are respectively responsible with respect to the Seller Group Companies, including maintaining for the statutory time periods and making available to each other all records within their custody and control as reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes of the Seller Group Companies in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all Tax periods relating to Taxes of the Seller Group Companies.

     (ii) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, the Seller and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to those books and records (including the right to make extracts thereof) of the Buyer and its Representatives to the extent that such books and records relate to Taxes and to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by the Seller in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operation of the Seller Group Companies prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by the Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. If the Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of such seven-year period, the Buyer shall, prior to such disposition, give the Seller a reasonable opportunity, at the Seller’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as the Seller may select.

     (iii) The Buyer shall not take any action which could (A) increase the Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ liability for Taxes or (B) result in, or change the character of, any income or gain that the Seller or any of its Affiliates must report on any Tax Return.

          (c) Section 338(g) Elections. The Buyer shall not make any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local, or non-United States income tax law) with respect to the purchase (or deemed purchase) of the equity interests of all or any of the Seller Group Companies without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Seller. If the Seller does so consent, the Buyer shall be liable for, and shall pay, any Tax attributable to or resulting from, the making of such election and will indemnify the Seller from and against any Tax liability or other adverse consequences attributable to, or resulting directly or indirectly from, the making of such election. Any indemnification obligation of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.7(c) shall be increased by the relevant After Tax Amount. For purposes of this Section 6.7(c), “After Tax Amount” means any additional amount necessary to reflect the Tax consequences of the receipt or accrual of such reimbursement payment (including the payment of an additional amount or amounts hereunder) determined by using the actual marginal United States, state, local or non-United States rates for the relevant taxable period.

     6.7 Operator Employment Matters.

          (a) Contemporaneously at Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Operator to pay from the Operator’s cash in that certain separate account set forth in Section 3.12, (i) 50% of the Retention Payments to certain of the Operator’s officers and employees (subject to the definition of “Retention Payments”), pursuant to the terms of the individual retention agreements executed between the Operator and such persons on or about July 2010, and (ii) two (2) months’ worth of basic salary per employee to all employees of the Operator not otherwise covered by the Retention Payments and who shall have been employed in good standing with the Operator immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Transition Bonus”), subject to such persons’ execution of an acknowledgment and receipt, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Buyer, releasing any and all claims in respect of any other payments or amounts such person may claim to be due to such persons pursuant to the change in control in the Operator contemplated by this Agreement. No later than six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Buyer

shall cause the Operator to pay the remaining 50% of the Retention Payments to certain of the Operator’s officers and employees (subject to the definition of “Retention Payments”).

          (b) The Parties agree that neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any of the Operator’s officers and employees to any severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other payment, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, (ii) accelerate the time of payment, vesting or funding, or increase the amount of compensation due to any such officer or employee under any company benefit plan or pension plan, including the Operator Pension Plan, or otherwise or (iii) prohibit the Operator from terminating any of its officers and employees for just, authorized or other valid cause consistent with the Operator’s conduct of its operations and in accordance with prudent industry standards.

          (c) (i) Without limiting the Seller’s obligations under Section 5.1, after the date hereof and until immediately prior to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, the Seller shall cause the Operator to (A) conduct the management of its employee relations consistent with past practice and in accordance with prudent industry standards and to not otherwise terminate any of its officers and employees other than as set forth in Section 6.7(b)(iii), (B) not become a party to any collective bargaining agreement and (C) not undertake any other action contrary to the matters set forth in Section 6.7 (b)(i) and (ii) (other than, in each case, in connection with actions permissible pursuant to Section 6.7(b)(iii)); and (ii) the Seller agrees to pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, each of the persons holding, as of the Closing Date, the titles of (A) Vice President and Facility Manager and (B) Plant Manager, respectively, a lump-sum retention payment in consideration of such person’s continued service to the Operator. The aggregate amount of such retention payments shall not be less than Three Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty-Two Dollars (US$346,352), 50% of which shall be paid by the Seller or its Affiliates from its own funds contemporaneously at Closing, and the remaining 50% shall be paid by the Seller or its Affiliates from its own funds no later than six (6) months after the Closing Date.

          (d) Subject to the Seller’s compliance with its obligations set forth in Section 6.7(c), the Buyer agrees to (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates from and against, and pay or reimburse the Seller or its Affiliates for, any and all claims made by any of the Operator’s officers and employees (subject to the definition of “Retention Payments” and to Section 6.7(c)(ii)) relating to or arising from payments or amounts due to such officers and employees pursuant to a change in control in the Operator as contemplated by this Agreement or arising from any other termination of such officers and employees after the Closing Date and (ii) waive any and all claims it may have against the Seller with respect to any and all claims and losses relating to or arising from payments or amounts due to the Operator’s officers and employees (subject to the definition of “Retention Payments” and to Section 6.7(c)(ii)) pursuant to a change in control in the Operator as contemplated by this Agreement or arising from any other termination of such officers and employees after the Closing Date.

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

     9.3 Defenses of Claims.

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

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

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

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

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

No such extension or waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, extending the time of performance or waiving any such inaccuracy, non-compliance or non-satisfaction. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

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