Jeffrey R. Horowitz Covanta Energy Corporation 40 Lane Road Fairfield, New Jersey 07007-2615 (Name and Address of Agent for Service) With a copy to: Filip Moerman, Esq. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton One Liberty Plaza New York, NY 10006 The registrant hereby amends this application for qualification on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this application for qualification shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine. GENERAL 1. General Information. (a) Covanta Energy Corporation ("Covanta" or the "Company") is a corporation. (b) Covanta is organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. 2. Securities Act exemption applicable. Covanta intends to offer, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the First Amended Disclosure Statement with Respect to Reorganizing Debtors' Joint Reorganization Plan, Heber Debtors' Joint Reorganization Plan, and Liquidating Debtors' Joint Plan of Liquidation Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as amended, the "Disclosure Statement") and an accompanying Debtors' First Amended Joint Reorganization Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as amended, the "Reorganization Plan"), Debtors First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and Heber Debtors' Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of Covanta and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors"), copies of which are included as exhibits T3E-1 and T3E-2 to this application, the Senior Secured Notes (the "Secured Notes"), issued initially with an expected aggregate principal amount of $200 million accreting to an aggregate principal amount of $225 million upon maturity and the Reorganization Plan Unsecured Notes issued in a principal amount between $30 million and $35 million (the "Subordinated Notes" and together with the Secured Notes, the "Notes"). The Secured Notes will be issued pursuant an indenture to be qualified under this Form T-3 (the "Secured Notes Indenture"), a copy of which will be filed by amendment to this application once it has been negotiated. A summary term sheet (the "Secured Notes Term Sheet") listing certain terms of the Secured Notes is attached to this application as Exhibit T3E-6. The Subordinated Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture also to be qualified under this Form T-3 (the "Subordinated Notes Indenture") a copy of which will be filed by amendment to this application once it has been negotiated. A summary term sheet (the "Subordinated Notes Term Sheet") listing certain terms of the Subordinated Notes is attached to this application as Exhibit T3E-7. The Notes are being offered by Covanta in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), afforded by section 1145 of title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"). Generally, section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a bankruptcy Reorganization Plan from registration under the Securities Act and under equivalent state securities and "blue sky" laws if the following requirements are satisfied: (i) the securities are issued by the debtor (or its successor or an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor) under a Reorganization Plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a claim against the debtor, an interest in the debtor or a claim or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor; and (iii) the securities are issued entirely in exchange for the recipient's claim against or interest in the debtor or are issued "principally" in such exchange and "partly" for cash or property. Covanta believes that the offer and exchange of the Notes under the Reorganization Plan will satisfy such requirements of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, such offer and exchange is exempt from the registration requirements referred to above. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Secured Notes will be issued to holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims and Allowed Class 6 Claims (both as defined in the Reorganization Plan) in satisfaction of their claims against the Debtors. A more complete description of the Secured Notes will be provided in the Secured Notes Indenture, which will be filed by amendment to this application once it has been negotiated and drafted. Also pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Subordinated Notes will be issued to holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims (as defined in the Reorganization Plan) in satisfaction of the claims against the Debtors. A more complete description of the Subordinated Notes will be provided in the Subordinated Notes Indenture, which will be filed by amendment to this application once it has been negotiated and drafted.

(a) The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each authorized class of securities of the Company as of October 16, 2003. Col. A Col. B Col. C Title of Class Amount Authorized Amount Outstanding - -------------------------------- --------------------------- ------------------- 1. Common Stock, par value 80,000,000 shares 49,825,251 shares $.50 per share 2. $1.875 Cumulative Convertible 4,000,000 shares 33,049 shares Preferred Stock (Series A) 3. 9.25% Debentures due 2022 $100,000,000 $100,000,000 4. 6% Convertible Debentures $85,000,000 $85,000,000 due June 1, 2002 5. 5.75% Convertible Debentures $75,000,000 $63,650,000 due October 20, 2002 (b) Following is a brief outline of the voting rights of each class of voting securities. The holders of common stock possess full voting power with respect to the election of directors and all other purposes, except as limited by the Delaware General Corporation Law and except as described below. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each full share of common stock then issued and outstanding and held in such record holder's name. Holders of common stock vote together with the holders of Series A preferred stock and would vote together with the holders of any other series of preferred stock that may be issued and entitled to vote in such manner, and not as a separate class. The Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for either preemptive rights or cumulative voting with respect to common stock or preferred stock. The holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to one-half vote for each share of Series A preferred stock and except as described below, vote together as a class with the holders of common stock. However, if at any time dividends with respect to the Series A preferred stock have not been paid in an amount equal to or exceeding the dividends payable in respect of six quarterly periods, then the holders of Series A preferred stock, voting as a separate class with each share of Series A preferred stock having one vote, are entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors at the next annual meeting of stockholders in lieu of voting together with the holders of common stock in the election of directors, with such right continuing until all dividends in default have been paid. In addition, the separate consent or approval of at least two-thirds of the number of shares of any series of preferred stock then outstanding is required before we can undertake certain transactions, as specified in the Certificate, that may have the effect of adversely affecting the rights of such series. INDENTURE SECURITIES 8. Analysis of indenture provisions. A more complete general description of certain provisions of the Secured Notes Indenture to be qualified will be provided at such time as this application is amended to include, among other things, a copy of the Secured Notes Indenture. The Secured Notes Term Sheet currently contemplates that the Secured Notes will be issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million accreting to an aggregate principal amount of $225 million upon maturity seven (7) years after the Effective Date of the Reorganization Plan. It is currently expected that a semi-annual cash coupon will be payable at an interest rate of 8.25% on the face amount of the outstanding Secured Notes. The Secured Notes will be secured by a third priority lien on the Post-Confirmation Collateral (as defined in the Reorganization Plan). In the event of change of control, Company will be obligated to offer to repurchase the Secured Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the accreted value of the Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date, except that Company will not be required to make such an offer if a third party makes such an offer to repurchase the Secured Notes in a manner consistent with the Secured Notes Indenture. Furthermore, the Secured Notes will be redeemable by Company at times and premiums to be determined. The Secured Notes Term Sheet remains subject to change. A more complete general description of certain provisions of the Subordinated Notes Indenture to be qualified will be provided at such time as this application is amended to include, among other things, a copy of the Subordinated Notes Indenture. The Subordinated Notes Term Sheet currently contemplates that the Subordinated Notes will be issued in a principal amount between of $30 million and $35 million with a maturity date eight (8) years after the Effective Date of the Reorganization Plan. Interest will be payable semi-annually at an interest rate of 7.5%. Annual amortization payments of approximately $3.9 million (paid at end of year) are expected to be paid beginning in year two (2), with the balance due on maturity. The Subordinated Notes Term Sheet remains subject to change. 9. Other obligors. Each of the following subsidiaries set forth below is currently expected to be a guarantor of the Secured Notes.
