--------
1    Unless otherwise defined herein or as otherwise indicated herein,
     capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
     terms in the Second Liquidation Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto as
     Exhibit "B." Any term used in the Second Liquidation Plan or this
     Confirmation Order that is not defined in the Second Liquidation Plan or
     this Confirmation Order, but that is used in the Bankruptcy Code or the
     Bankruptcy Rules, shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in the
     Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules.

                     FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

                     IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

         A. Pursuant to Rule 7052 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
(the "Bankruptcy Rules"), findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of
law and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact when
appropriate.

         B. Paragraph headings or captions are inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the
interpretation of this Confirmation Order. Capitalized terms used, but not
defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Second
Liquidation Plan.

         C. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Court has jurisdiction over the chapter
11 cases of the Liquidating Debtors (the "Liquidation Cases") pursuant to 28
U.S.C. ss.ss. 157 and 1334. Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28
U.S.C. ss.ss. 1408 and 1409. Confirmation of the Second Liquidation Plan and
approval of the Plan Documents is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. ss.
157(b)(2), and this Court has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether the
Second Liquidation Plan complies with the applicable provisions of chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code 11 U.S.C. ss. 101, et seq. (the "Bankruptcy
Code") and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules")
and should be confirmed.

         D. Judicial Notice. This Court takes judicial notice of the docket of
the Reorganizing Debtors' cases, which are jointly administered under Case No.
02-40826 (CB), captioned as In re Ogden New York Services, Inc., et al., and the
dockets for each of the adversary proceedings that are related to the
Liquidation Cases in each case maintained by the Clerk of the Court, including,
without limitation, all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered,
and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, adduced or presented at, the
hearings held before the Court during the pendency of the Liquidation Cases,
including the following:

               (i) The above captioned chapter 11 cases involve proceedings with
respect to 146 affiliated Debtors, 60 of which are the subject of the Second
Liquidation Plan. Each of the Liquidating Debtors is an eligible debtor under
section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and has operated its business and managed its
properties as a debtor in possession pursuant to section 1108 of the Bankruptcy
Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed pursuant to section 1104 of the
Bankruptcy Code in connection with the Liquidation Cases.

               (ii) On December 2, 2003, the Debtors entered into an agreement
with Danielson Holding Corporation (the "Reorganization Plan Sponsor") pursuant
to which the Reorganization Plan Sponsor, subject to Court approval, agreed to
purchase for aggregate cash consideration of $30 million for 100% of the equity
of Reorganized Covanta (the "Investment and Purchase Agreement") in connection
with the proposed Debtor's Second Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11
of The Bankruptcy Code, dated as of March 2, 2004 (the "Second Reorganization
Plan") (Docket No. 3558).

               (iii) On December 18, 2003, the Liquidating Debtors filed the
Second Liquidation Plan and Second Disclosure Statement with respect to the
Second Liquidation Plan that contemplates, among other things, (a) the
appointment of the Liquidating Trustee; (b) the transfer of any Residual
Liquidation Assets to the Liquidation Trust; (c) the liquidation of any such
Residual Liquidation Assets; (d) the payment in full of (I) Allowed
Administrative Claims, (II) Allowed Priority Tax Claims and (III) Allowed
Priority Non-Tax Claims asserted against the Liquidating Debtors; (e) the
transfer of certain Liquidating Pledgor Debtor Assets and Designated DIP
Collateral to Reorganized Covanta, free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances; and (f) the dissolution of the Liquidating Debtors in accordance
with applicable state law.

               (iv) Simultaneously with filing the Second Liquidation Plan, on
December 18, 2003, the Reorganizing Debtors filed the Second Joint Plan of
Reorganization that contemplates, among other things, the sale for cash
consideration of $30 million for 100% of the equity of Reorganized Covanta to
the Reorganization Plan Sponsor pursuant to the Investment and Purchase
Agreement. This Court has entered a confirmation order with respect to the
Second Reorganization Plan dated as of the date hereof.

               (v) On January 14, 2004, the Court entered the Disclosure
Materials and Balloting Procedures Order, thereby approving the adequacy of the
Second Disclosure Statement.

               (vi) On November 21, 2003, the Court entered an Order (Docket No.
2809) (the "Heber Confirmation Order") confirming the Third Amended Heber
Reorganization Plan with respect to six (6) of the affiliated Debtor entities,
entry of which constitutes a condition precedent for confirmation of the Second
Reorganization Plan.

               (vii) On March 3, 2004, the Court commenced the Confirmation
Hearing where the Court considered confirmation of the Second Liquidation Plan.

         E. Transmittal and Service of Notices. Notice of the Confirmation
Hearing and the relevant deadlines for submission of objections, as prescribed
by this Court in the Disclosure Materials and Balloting Procedures Order, has
been provided and is adequate and sufficient pursuant to section 1128 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b) and 3020 and other applicable law and
rules. Additionally, the Second Disclosure Statement and Second Liquidation
Plan, which were transmitted and served as set forth in the Affidavits of
Mailing of Mariah Martin dated February 4, 2004 (Docket No. 3435) and Julia
Bealler dated February 13, 2004 (Docket No. 3519), are hereby deemed to have
been transmitted and served in compliance with the Disclosure Materials and
Balloting Procedures Order and the Bankruptcy Rules. Such transmittal and
service was adequate and sufficient, and no other or further notice of such
materials shall be required. Publication of the Confirmation Hearing Notice as
set forth in the Notices of Filing of Certificate of Publication, dated February
3, 2004 and February 4, 2004 (Docket Nos. 3369 and 3386), was adequate and
sufficient and no other or further notice shall be required.

         F. Solicitation. Solicitation of votes on the Second Liquidation Plan
was conducted in good faith and in compliance with sections 1125 and 1126 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Second Disclosure
Statement, the Disclosure Materials and Balloting Procedures Order, all other
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and all other rules, laws and
regulations.

         G. Ballots and Tabulation. All procedures used to distribute
solicitation materials to the applicable holders of Claims and to tabulate
ballots were fair and was conducted in accordance with the Disclosure Materials
and Balloting Procedures Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the
Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, and
all other applicable rules, laws and regulations. On February 27, 2004 the
Debtors filed the Voting Affidavit, certifying the method and results of the
ballot tabulation for each of the voting Classes under the Second Liquidation
Plan.

         H. Burden of Proof. The Liquidating Debtors, as proponents of the
Second Liquidation Plan, have the burden of proving the elements of section 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence. The Liquidating
Debtors have satisfied this burden.

         I. Compliance with Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Second Liquidation Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               (i) Proper Classification. The classification scheme of Claims
and Equity Interests under the Second Liquidation Plan is reasonable. Valid
business, factual and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various
Classes of Claims and Equity Interests created under the Second Liquidation
Plan. Claims or Equity Interests in each Class are substantially similar to
other Claims or Equity Interests in such Class, and the Second Liquidation Plan
therefore satisfies the requirements of section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               (ii) Designation of Classes. The Second Liquidation Plan properly
designates Classes of Claims and Equity Interests in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1122 and
1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               (iii) Specified Unimpaired Classes. The Second Liquidation Plan
specifies that Class 1 is Unimpaired, thereby satisfying the requirements of
section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to section 1126(f) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Class 1 is deemed to accept the Second Liquidation Plan.

               (iv) Specified Impaired Classes. The Second Liquidation Plan
specifies that Classes 3, 7, 9 and 11 are Impaired, thereby satisfying the
requirements of section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to section
1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, Classes 7, 9 and 11 are deemed to reject the
Second Liquidation Plan by virtue of receiving no distributions or deemed
distributions thereunder.

               (v) No Discrimination. The Second Liquidation Plan provides for
the same treatment of each Claim or Equity Interest of a particular Class or
Subclass, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

               (vi) Classification of Certain Secured Claims. Secured Claims in
Subclass 3A (the Secured Bank Claims and the Secured 9.25% Debenture Claims) and
Subclass 3B (the Allowed Secured Liquidation Claims) have been classified
together for voting purposes reflecting the fact that Claims in this Subclass
are secured by similar or the same Prepetition Collateral, which is comprised of
substantially all of the assets of the Liquidating Debtors. While the Second
Liquidation Plan classifies Claims in Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B together for
voting purposes, the Claims are placed in separate Subclasses for distribution
purposes in order to properly implement redistributions and third party
settlements that differently impact the Claims within these separate Subclasses,
thereby further satisfying the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

               (vii) Implementation of Plan. The Second Liquidation Plan
provides for adequate means for its implementation, including, but not limited
to (i) the funding of the Operating Reserve and the Administrative Expense
Claims Reserve by the Reorganizing Debtors pursuant to the Secured Creditor
Direction and the DIP Lender Direction in amounts sufficient to make all
anticipated payments required to be made on or about the Effective Date and to
fund the dissolution of the Liquidating Debtors and the closing of the
Liquidation Cases; (ii) the designation of a Liquidating Trustee to wind-down
and dissolve the Liquidating Debtors in accordance with applicable state law and
close the Liquidation Cases; and (iii) generally providing the Liquidating
Trustee with any and all action necessary to effectuate the Second Liquidation
Plan. The Second Liquidation Plan therefore satisfies the requirements of
section 11123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

               (viii) Prohibition on the Issuance of Nonvoting Securities.
Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, which requires a reorganizing
debtor's charter to include certain provisions, is inapplicable, because the
Liquidating Debtors are liquidating.

               (ix) Designation of Officers and Directors. The Liquidating
Debtors have selected the Liquidating Trustee and the Oversight Nominee in a
fair and reasonable manner, consistent with the interests of creditors, equity
security holders and public policy in accordance with section 1123(a)(7) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

               (x) Additional Plan Provisions. The Second Liquidation Plan
contains no provision that is inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code and therefore satisfies section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

               (xi) Identity of Proponents. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule
3016(a), the Second Liquidation Plan is dated and identifies the entities
submitting it as proponents.

         J. Compliance with Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidating Debtors, as
proponents of the Second Liquidation Plan, have complied with each of the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code including, without limitation,
sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and therefore have satisfied the
requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, as follows: (a) the
Liquidating Debtors are eligible debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy
Code and proper proponents of the Second Liquidation Plan under section 1121(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) the Liquidating Debtors have complied with each of
the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided
or permitted by orders of the Court; and (c) the Liquidating Debtors have
complied with each of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Bankruptcy Rules and the Disclosure Materials and Balloting Procedures Order in
transmitting notices and disclosure materials with respect to the Second
Liquidation Plan.

         K. Proposed in Good Faith. The Second Liquidation Plan has been
proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying
the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. In determining
that the Second Liquidation Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has
examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing and
prosecution of the Liquidation Cases and the formulation of the Second
Liquidation Plan. The Liquidation Cases were filed, and the Second Liquidation
Plan was proposed with, the proper purpose of maximizing the value of the
Liquidating Debtors' estates.

         L. Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses. To the extent required
by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or the Orders of this Court, any
payments made or to be made by the Liquidating Debtors, or by the Reorganizing
Debtors on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, to professionals for services or
for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Liquidation Cases, have
been disclosed to the Court. Any compensation of fees or reimbursement of
expenses paid or to be paid by the Liquidating Debtors, or by the Reorganizing
Debtors on behalf of the Liquidating Debtors, to any retained professionals
pursuant to monthly invoices or interim applications, together with all other
fees and expenses incurred by special counsel or professionals in the
Liquidation Cases have been approved by or are the subject of approval of, this
Court as reasonable. Accordingly, the Second Liquidation Plan satisfies the
requirements of section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

         M. Directors, Officers and Insiders. Section 1129(a)(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable because the Liquidating Debtors are not
reorganizing and consequently will not require services after the Effective Date
of directors or officers. Instead, the Second Liquidation Plan contemplates the
appointment of a Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Debtors have disclosed
that they, together with the Reorganizing Debtors have determined that James N.
Lawlor shall be the Liquidating Trustee and that Timothy J. Simpson, Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary, Covanta Energy Corp. shall be the
Oversight Nominee.

         N. No Rate Changes. Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is
satisfied because the Second Liquidation Plan does not provide for any change in
rates over which a governmental regulatory commission has jurisdiction.

         O. Best Interests of Creditors. The Second Liquidation Plan satisfies
section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. With respect to each Impaired Class
of Claims or Equity Interests, each holder of a Claim against or Equity Interest
in the Liquidating Debtors: (a) has accepted the Second Liquidation Plan; or (b)
will receive or retain under the Second Liquidation Plan, on account of such
Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Second
Liquidation Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would so
receive or retain if such Liquidating Debtors were to be liquidated under
chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

         P. Acceptance by Certain Classes. Class 1 is Unimpaired and is deemed
to accept the Second Liquidation Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy
Code. Class 3 is Impaired and designated as voting a Class under the Second
Liquidation Plan (the "Impaired Voting Class"). The Impaired Voting Class has
voted to accept the Second Liquidation Plan thus satisfying section 1129(a)(8)
of the Bankruptcy Code. Classes 7, 9 and 11 (collectively, the "Rejecting
Classes") are Impaired and shall receive no Distributions under the Second
Liquidation Plan and therefore are deemed to reject the Second Liquidation Plan
under section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although section 1129(a)(8) of the
Bankruptcy Code has not been satisfied with respect to the Rejecting Classes,
the Second Liquidation Plan nevertheless is confirmable because it satisfies
section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to those Classes.

         Q. Treatment of Administrative and Priority Claims. The treatment of
Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed
Priority Non-Tax Claims under Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 4.1, respectively, of the
Second Liquidation Plan satisfies the applicable requirements of section
1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

         R. Acceptance by Impaired Class. Class 3 in the Liquidation Cases is an
Impaired Class of Claims that has voted to accept the Second Liquidation Plan
and, to the best of the Liquidating Debtors' knowledge, does not contain
"insiders," thus satisfying section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.

         S. Feasibility. The Liquidating Debtors will have sufficient funds to
satisfy their obligations under the Second Liquidation Plan and furthermore, the
Second Liquidation Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code,
because the Second Liquidation Plan is a liquidating plan of reorganization.

         T. Payment of Fees. The fees due and payable by the Liquidating Debtors
to the United States Trustee or the Clerk of this Court, as provided under 28
U.S.C. ss. 1930(a)(6), have been paid or shall be paid by the Liquidating
Trustee pursuant to Section 13.4 of the Second Liquidation Plan. Thus, the
requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

         U. Fair and Equitable; Confirmation of Plan Over Nonacceptance by
Rejecting Classes. Based upon the evidence proffered, adduced or presented by
the Liquidating Debtors at the Confirmation Hearing, the Second Liquidation Plan
does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to the
Rejecting Classes, as required by section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus,
the Second Liquidation Plan may be confirmed under section 1129(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code even if the Liquidating Debtors fail to satisfy section
1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Rejecting Classes because
(i) all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, other
than section 1129(a)(8) with respect to such Classes, have been met, and (ii)
with respect to the Rejecting Classes, no holders of Claims or Equity Interests
junior to the holders of such Classes will receive or retain any property under
the Second Liquidation Plan on account of such Claims or Equity Interests.

         V. Principal Purpose. No party in interest that is a governmental unit
has requested that the Court not confirm the Second Liquidation Plan on the
grounds that the principal purpose of the Second Liquidation Plan is the
avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. ss. 77e, and the principal purpose of the
Second Liquidation Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the Second
Liquidation Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

         W. Modifications to the Plan. To the extent that the terms of this
Confirmation Order may be construed to constitute modifications to the Second
Liquidation Plan (the "Liquidation Plan Modifications"), such Liquidation Plan
Modifications do not materially or adversely affect or change the treatment of
any Claim against or Equity Interest in any Liquidating Debtor. Accordingly,
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Liquidation Plan Modifications do not
require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the
solicitation of acceptances or rejections under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy
Code. Disclosure of the Liquidation Plan Modifications on the record at the
Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice thereof under the
circumstances of these Liquidation Cases. All references to the Second
Liquidation Plan in this Confirmation Order shall be to the Second Liquidation
Plan as so modified.

         AA. Good Faith Participation. Based upon the record before the Court,
the Liquidating Debtors, the Debtors, the Reorganization Plan Sponsor, the Agent
Banks, the Bondholders Committee, the Indenture Trustee, the Committee, and
their respective members, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents,
counsel and financial advisors have acted in good faith within the meaning of
section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in compliance with the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in connection with all their respective
activities relating to the Second Liquidation Plan, and are entitled to the
protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the
exculpatory provisions set forth in Article XII of the Second Liquidation Plan.

         BB. Retention of Jurisdiction. The Court may properly retain
jurisdiction over the matters set forth in Section 13.1 of the Second
Liquidation Plan.

         CC. Satisfaction of Conditions to Confirmation. Upon entry of this
Confirmation Order, each of the conditions to confirmation contained in Section
11.1 of the Second Liquidation Plan shall have been satisfied.

         DD. Satisfaction of Conditions to Consummation. Each of the conditions
to the Effective Date, as set forth in Sections 11.2 of the Second Liquidation
Plan, is reasonably likely to be satisfied. The conditions to the Effective Date
shall be subject to waiver by the Liquidating Debtors, with the prior written
consent of the Reorganization Plan Sponsor, without leave of or notice to the
Court and without any formal action other than proceeding with confirmation of
the Second Liquidation Plan.

         EE. Assumption, Assignment and Rejection of Contracts.

               (i) The time period in which the Liquidating Debtors or their
affiliated Debtors can assume any unexpired lease of nonresidential real
property to be assumed and/or assigned pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code has not expired.

               (ii) The Liquidating Debtors have exercised reasonable business
judgment in determining whether to assume or reject each of their executory
contracts and unexpired leases as set forth in Article VIII of the Second
Liquidation Plan. Each pre- or post-Confirmation assumption or rejection of an
executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Second
Liquidation Plan shall be legal, valid and binding upon the applicable
Liquidating Debtor and all non-Debtor parties to such executory contract or
unexpired lease, all to the same extent as if such assumption or rejection had
been effectuated pursuant to an appropriate authorizing order of the Court
entered prior to the Confirmation Date pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code. All executory contracts and unexpired leases assumed pursuant to the
Second Liquidation Plan shall be referred to herein as the "Contracts."

               (iii) The Liquidating Debtors have caused the cure, or have
provided adequate assurance of cure of, any default existing prior to the date
hereof, within the meaning of section 365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code (the
"Adequate Assurances"), under each of the Contracts and have provided
compensation, or have provided Adequate Assurance of compensation or future
performance, to all non-debtor parties to such Contracts for any of their actual
pecuniary losses resulting from any default arising prior to the date hereof
under any of such Contracts, within the meaning of section 365(b)(1)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

               (iv) As of the date hereof, each Contract is in full force and
effect and free from default (other than for specified Cure Amounts that have
not been paid as of the date hereof) and enforceable against the non-debtor
party thereto in accordance with its terms. Any provision of a Contract that
purports to give rise to a default or other breach of, or create or constitute
an event of termination or similar condition under, such Contract by reason of
the commencement of any of the Debtors' chapter 11 cases, the insolvency or
financial condition of any of the Debtors, or the consummation of the Second
Liquidation Plan and the transactions contemplated in connection therewith shall
be and is hereby void and unenforceable.

               (v) All requirements of section 365(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy
Code and any other applicable law relating to the Contracts have been satisfied.
The counterparties to the Contracts who did not object to the Second Liquidation
Plan or who have withdrawn their objections and who did not timely respond to
the Notice of Cure are deemed to have consented to the assumption of the
Contracts.

         FF. Deemed Consolidation for Certain Plan Purposes. Sixty (60) Debtor
entities are the subject of the Second Liquidation Plan. Pursuant to the Second
Liquidation Plan, the Liquidating Debtors have been deemed consolidated for
limited purposes of administration (i) in order to preserve the current
corporate structure of the Liquidating Debtors without requiring Distributions
to be made with respect to Equity Interests held in Subsidiary Debtors, and (ii)
in order to provide for classification of Claims against more than one
Liquidating Debtor as part of a single Class or Subclass of Claims for voting
and distribution purposes.

         GG. Intercompany Claims. Any Intercompany Claim against a Liquidating
Debtor held by another Liquidating Debtor, Reorganizing Debtor or Heber Debtor
constitutes the exclusive property of any such Liquidating Debtor, Reorganizing
Debtor, or Heber Debtor, as the case may be, pursuant to section 541 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

                                    DECREES

   NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED AND DETERMINED THAT:

         1. Confirmation. The Second Liquidation Plan (as modified by any
modifications contained in this Confirmation Order) is confirmed under section
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

         2. Compliance with Applicable Provisions of Bankruptcy Code. The Second
Liquidation Plan complies with the requirements of sections 1122, 1123 and 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code.

         3. Objections. To the extent that any objections have not been
withdrawn or resolved by stipulation prior to the entry of this Confirmation
Order or are not resolved by the relief granted herein or as stated on the
record of the Confirmation Hearing, all such objections are hereby overruled.

         4. Plan Classification Controlling. The classification of Claims and
Equity Interests for purposes of the Distributions to be made under the Second
Liquidation Plan shall be governed solely by the terms of the Second Liquidation
Plan. The classifications set forth on the Ballots tendered to or returned by
the Debtors' creditors in connection with voting on the Second Liquidation Plan
(a) were set forth on the Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or
reject the Plan, (b) do not necessarily represent, and in no event shall be
deemed to modify or otherwise affect, the actual classification of such Claims
or Interests under the Second Liquidation Plan for distribution purposes, (c)
may not be relied upon by any creditor or interest holder as representing the
actual classification of such Claims or Interests under the Second Liquidation
Plan for distribution purposes, and (d) shall not be binding upon the
Liquidating Trustee or the Liquidating Trust.

         5. Certain Effects of Confirmation; Exculpation; Releases. All of the
provisions of Article XII of the Second Liquidation Plan are incorporated herein
by reference as if set forth herein in extenso and are hereby approved in their
entirety.

         6. Settlements. All settlements in these cases are hereby approved as
good faith compromises and settlements pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

         7. Assumptions. The executory contract and unexpired lease provisions
of Article VIII of the Second Liquidation Plan are approved in their entirety.
Except as otherwise provided in the Second Liquidation Plan, on the Effective
Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases to which each Liquidating
Debtor is a party shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date, except for
any executory contract or unexpired lease that (i) has been previously assumed
or rejected pursuant to a Final Order of this Court, (ii) is specifically
designated as a contract or lease on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and
Leases, filed as Exhibit 5 to the Second Liquidation Plan, as may be amended, or
(iii) is the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject filed under
section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Liquidating Debtors prior to the
Confirmation Hearing (the "Assumed Contracts and Leases"). On the Effective
Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on the Schedule of
Assumed Contracts and Leases to which each Liquidating Debtor is party shall be
deemed assumed by the applicable Liquidating Debtor and assigned to Reorganized
Covanta. Each of the Assumed Contracts and Leases shall be assumed only to the
extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or
unexpired lease. Listing a contract on Exhibit 5 of the Second Liquidation Plan
shall not constitute an admission by a Debtor or Liquidating Debtor that such
contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that a Debtor
or Liquidating Debtor has any liability thereunder. This Confirmation Order
shall constitute an order approving the assumptions described in Section 8.1 of
the Second Liquidation Plan, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as
of the Effective Date and an assignment of the Assumed Contracts and Leases to
Reorganized Covanta.

         8. Cure Amounts. To the extent that they have not already done so prior
to the Confirmation Hearing, within thirty (30) days after the Confirmation
Date, the Liquidating Debtors shall provide notice to each party whose executory
contract or unexpired lease is being assumed pursuant to the Second Liquidation
Plan of: (a) the contract being assumed; (b) the proposed cure amount ("Cure
Amount"), if any, that the applicable Liquidating Debtor believes it would be
obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (c) the procedures for
such party to object to the assumption of the applicable contract or lease or
the amount of the proposed Cure Amount (the "Cure Amount Notice"). In the event
a party fails to file and serve a timely objection to the Cure Amount Notice,
the Cure Amount stated in the Cure Amount Notice shall be conclusive and the
Liquidating Debtors may assume the executory contract or unexpired lease without
further order of the Court and assign such contract or lease to Reorganized
Covanta. If a timely objection is filed, the Court shall determine the Cure
Amount and the propriety of the assumption in accordance with the Second
Liquidation Plan at the next scheduled hearing, which hearing shall occur no
earlier than five (5) business days after the filing of the objection. To the
extent not already provided prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Cure Amount
Notice shall be served on each non-Debtor party to an executory contract or
unexpired lease. In the event the Court determines that the Cure Amount is
higher than the amount proposed by the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating
Debtors may reject the executory contract or unexpired lease notwithstanding the
occurrence of the Effective Date.

         9. Cure Amount Notices Distributed Prior to the Confirmation Hearing.
With respect to the parties who received a Cure Amount Notice prior to the
Confirmation Hearing but did not object or otherwise prior to the Confirmation
Hearing, the Cure Amount shall be fixed as set forth in the Cure Amount Notice.
The payment of the Cure Amount, if any, with respect thereto shall be made in
accordance with the terms of the Second Liquidation Plan and this Confirmation
Order and any such party shall be deemed to consent to such assumption and, upon
the Effective Date, the Liquidating Debtors shall be entitled to assign all the
rights and benefits under each such executory contract or unexpired lease
without the necessity of obtaining such counterparty's written consent to
assumption or retention of such rights and benefits. The Cure Amount with
respect to parties who did object or otherwise respond to the Cure Amount Notice
prior to the Confirmation Hearing shall be established by the Court in
accordance with the procedures for resolving such disputes set forth in the
Second Liquidation Plan and this Confirmation Order. In the event the Court
determines that the Cure Amount is higher than that amount proposed by the
Debtors, the Liquidating Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may reject the executory
contract or unexpired lease notwithstanding the passage of the Effective Date.

         10. Rejection. Except as otherwise provided in the Second Liquidation
Plan, any executory contracts or unexpired leases not otherwise assumed by the
Liquidating Debtors pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Second Liquidation Plan are
hereby deemed rejected (the "Rejected Contracts and Leases"). Each of the
Rejected Contracts and Leases shall be rejected only to the extent that any such
contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing
a contract on Exhibit 5 of the Second Liquidation Plan shall not constitute an
admission by a Debtor or Liquidating Debtor that such contract or lease is an
executory contract or unexpired lease or that a Debtor or Liquidating Debtor has
any liability thereunder. This Confirmation Order shall constitute an order
approving such rejections, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of
the Effective Date.

         11. Bar Date for Rejection Damage Claims. Claims arising out of the
rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to Sections 8.1
of the Second Liquidation Plan must be filed with the Court no later than the
later of (i) twenty (20) days after the Effective Date, and (ii) thirty (30)
days after entry of the order rejecting such contract or lease. Any Claims not
filed within such time period will be forever barred from assertion against any
of the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors.

         12. Treatment of Intercompany Claims. The treatment of Intercompany
Claims provided in Section 4.10 of the Second Liquidation Plan is approved in
its entirety, including, without limitation, the following provisions:

               (i) Each of the Reorganizing Debtors' Intercompany Claims against
(A) the Liquidating Debtors and any of their respective present or former
officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors,
investment bankers or agents and (B) the other persons or entities identified as
beneficiaries of the release provided pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Second
Liquidation Plan (collectively, the "Released Parties") will be fully settled
and released as of the Effective Date.

               (ii) Each of the Heber Debtors' Intercompany Claims against (A)
the Liquidating Debtors and any of their respective present or former officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, investment
bankers or agents and (B) the other Released Parties will be fully settled and
released as of the Effective Date.

               (iii) Each of the Liquidating Debtors' Intercompany Claims
against (A) the other Liquidating Debtors and any of their respective present or
former officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors, investment bankers or agents and (B) the other Released Parties, to
the extent and only for the periods provided for pursuant to section 12.6 of the
Second Liquidation Plan, will be fully settled and released.

         13. Retained Professional Claims and Final Fee Applications. All final
requests for payment by all (i) Retained Professionals and (ii) other Persons
employed by the Debtors or serving as independent contractors to the Debtors in
connection with their reorganization efforts that are seeking an award by the
Court of compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses
incurred through and including the Effective Date under subsections 503(b)(2),
503(b)(3), 503(b)(4) or 503(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code shall file and serve on
counsel for the Debtors and as otherwise required by the Court and Bankruptcy
Code their respective final applications for allowance of compensation for
services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred on or before the date
that is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date. The Liquidating Debtors
shall have no liability for any claim described in this paragraph 13.

         14. Substantial Contribution Compensation and Expenses Bar Date. Any
Person who requests compensation or expense reimbursement for a Substantial
Contribution Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases must file an application with the
clerk of the Court, on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and
serve such application on counsel for the Reorganized Debtors and as otherwise
required by the Court and the Bankruptcy Code on or before such date, or be
forever barred from seeking compensation or expense reimbursement for such
Substantial Contribution Claim. The Liquidating Debtors will have no liability
for any claim described in this paragraph 14.

         15. Other Administrative Claims. Any other requests for payment of an
Administrative Expense Claim (other than as set forth in paragraphs 13 or 14
above) that are subject to the Administrative Expense Claim Bar Date under the
Second Liquidation Plan must be filed with the Court and served on counsel for
the Liquidating Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors and as otherwise required by
the Court and Bankruptcy Code on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date. Unless the Liquidating Trustee, the Reorganized Debtors or any other party
in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases objects to an Administrative Expense Claim
by the Claims Objection Deadline, such Administrative Expense Claim shall be
deemed Allowed in the amount filed. In the event that the Liquidating Trustee,
the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases
objects to an Administrative Expense Claim, the Court shall determine the
Allowed amount of such Administrative Expense Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Expense Claim need be
filed with respect to an Administrative Expense Claim incurred and payable by
the Liquidating Debtors in the ordinary course of business.

         16. Resolution of Unsecured Claims. Except as otherwise ordered by the
Court, any Claim that is not an Allowed Claim shall be determined, resolved or
adjudicated in accordance with the terms of the Second Liquidation Plan. The
Liquidating Trustee shall have the exclusive right to make and file objections
to Claims (other than Administrative Claims) and shall serve a copy of each
objection upon the holder of the Claim to which the objection is made as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after
the Effective Date; provided, however, that such one hundred and twenty (120)
day period may be automatically extended by the Liquidating Trustee by providing
notice to the Court, but without any further application to, or approval by, the
Court, for up to an additional thirty (30) days. The foregoing deadlines for
filing objections to Claims shall not apply to Claims for tort damages and,
accordingly no such deadline shall be imposed by the Second Liquidation Plan or
this Confirmation Order.

         17. The Liquidating Trustee is hereby appointed and subject to Section
13.5 of the Second Liquidation Plan, the duties of the Committee are terminated.
The Liquidating Trustee is bound to perform his duties in accordance with the
terms of the Second Liquidation Plan. The form of Liquidating Trust Agreement,
as previously filed with the Court in the Liquidation Plan Supplement (Docket
No. 3457) and as may be amended, is approved in all respects and the liquidating
Debtors are hereby permitted to enter into and perform the transactions
contemplated in the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

         18. Transfer of Liquidation Assets. On the Effective Date, each
Liquidating Debtor shall irrevocably transfer and assign its Residual
Liquidation Assets, if any, or cause such Residual Liquidation Assets to be
transferred and assigned to the Liquidating Trust, to hold in trust for the
benefit of all holders of Allowed Claims with respect to each such Liquidating
Debtor pursuant to the terms of the Second Liquidation Plan and of the
Liquidating Trust Agreement, provided, however, that prior to the transfers
contemplated hereby, the Liquidating Trustee and Liquidating Debtors, as
applicable, shall make the transfers contemplated by the Secured Creditor
Distribution and the DIP Lender Direction to Reorganized Covanta and to the
Operating Reserve and to the Administrative Expense Claims Reserve. In
accordance with section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code and except as otherwise
provided by this Second Liquidation Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement,
upon the Effective Date, title to the Residual Liquidation Assets shall pass to
the Liquidating Trust free and clear of all Claims and Equity Interests. The
Liquidating Trustee shall pay, or otherwise make Distributions on account of,
all Claims against the Liquidating Debtors whose Residual Liquidation Assets
were contributed to such Liquidating Trust strictly in accordance with the
Second Liquidation Plan. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transfers of
the Liquidating Debtors' Residual Liquidation Assets to the Liquidating Trust
shall be deemed transfers to and for the benefit their respective beneficiaries
followed by deemed transfer by the beneficiaries to the Liquidating Trust. The
beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors and deemed owners of the
Liquidating Trust.

         19. Dissolution. On the Effective Date, all the capital stock of the
Liquidating Debtors will be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect
and all Equity Interests in the Liquidating Debtors will be deemed extinguished
without further corporate action. Furthermore, on the Effective Date, the
Liquidating Debtors will be deemed to no longer exist as corporate entities and
they will be furthermore deemed dissolved.

         20. Authority of the Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee shall
have, with respect to the Liquidating Debtors, the following powers,
authorities, and duties, by way of illustration and not of limitation: (a)
manage, sell and convert all or any portion of the Residual Liquidation Assets
to Cash and distribute the Net Liquidation Proceeds as specified in the Second
Liquidation Plan; (b) release, convey or assign any right, title or interest in
or about the Residual Liquidation Assets or any portion thereof; (c) pay and
discharge any costs, expenses and fees of Retained Liquidation Professionals and
other obligations deemed necessary to preserve or enhance the value of the
Residual Liquidation Assets, discharge duties under the Second Liquidation Plan
or perform the purposes of the Second Liquidation Plan; (d) open and maintain
bank accounts and deposit funds and draw checks and make disbursements in
accordance with the Second Liquidation Plan; (e) engage and have such attorneys,
accountants, agents, tax specialists, financial advisors, other professionals,
and clerical assistance as may, in the discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, be
deemed necessary for the purposes specified under the Second Liquidation Plan;
(f) sue and be sued and file or pursue objections to Claims and seek to estimate
them; (g) enforce, waive or release rights, privileges or immunities of any
kind; (h) in general, without in any manner limiting any of the foregoing, deal
with the Residual Liquidation Assets or any part or parts thereof in all other
ways as would be lawful for any person owning the same to deal therewith,
whether similar to or different from the ways herein specified; (i) abandon any
Residual Liquidation Assets in accordance with Section 9.10 of the Second
Liquidation Plan; (j) file certificates of dissolution and take any other action
necessary to dissolve and wind up the affairs of the Liquidating Debtors in
accordance with applicable state law; (k) as soon as is practicable after the
Final Liquidation Distribution Date of each Liquidating Debtor, request the
Court to enter the Final Order closing the Chapter 11 Case of each such
Liquidating Debtor; and (l) without limitation, do any and all things necessary
to accomplish the purposes of the Second Liquidation Plan.

         21. Compensation of the Liquidating Trustee for Dissolution Expenses.
The Liquidating Trustee shall be paid for all reasonable and necessary
Dissolution Expenses (including the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses
of Retained Liquidation Professionals) out of the Operating Reserve. The payment
of the all reasonable and necessary Dissolution Expenses of (i) the Liquidating
Trustee shall be made in the manner specified in Section 9.2 of the Second
Liquidation Plan and (ii) any Retained Liquidation Professionals shall be made
in the manner specified in Section 9.5 of the Second Liquidation Plan. Any fees
or expenses incurred by the Liquidating Trustee incurred in the sale, transfer,
collection or monetization of any Residual Liquidation Assets shall be paid only
from the recoveries thereon.

         22. Distributions of Net Liquidation Proceeds. (i) On the Liquidation
Distribution Date following the realization of any Liquidation Proceeds from the
sale, transfer, collection or monetization of any Residual Liquidation Assets in
accordance with Section 9.3 of the Second Liquidation Plan, the Liquidating
Trustee shall distribute any Net Liquidation Proceeds to the holders of Allowed
Claims in accordance with the Second Liquidation Plan. The Liquidating Trustee
shall provide notice to the Oversight Nominee in the Liquidation Trustee Billing
Notice of (i) the realization of any Liquidation Proceeds; and (ii) any planned
Distribution of any Net Liquidation Proceeds to be made on the next Liquidation
Distribution Date;

         (ii) Nothing contained in the Second Liquidation Plan, this
Confirmation Order, or otherwise, will be deemed to change, modify or affect the
terms and provisions of the protections granted to GECC (as defined therein) in
paragraphs B, C, 5(c), 5(e) and 14 of that certain Agreed Final Order (I)
Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral of GECC Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 363,
and (II) Granting Adequate Protection Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 363 and
364, dated as of May 13, 2002 (as it may have been amended) (Docket No. 287),
the provisions of which are incorporated herein.

         23. Abandonment. The Liquidating Trustee may abandon, on thirty (30)
days' written notice to the Oversight Nominee and United States Trustee, any
property which he determines in his reasonable discretion to be of de minimis
value to the Liquidating Trust, including any pending adversary proceeding or
other legal action commenced or commenceable by the Liquidating Trust. If either
the Oversight Nominee or United States Trustee provides a written objection to
the Liquidating Trustee prior to expiration of such thirty-day period with
respect to the proposed abandonment of such property, then such property may be
abandoned only pursuant to an application made to the Court. In the absence of
any such objection, such property may be abandoned without further order of the
Court.

         24. Recourse Against the Liquidating Trustee. No recourse shall ever be
had, directly or indirectly, against the Liquidating Trustee personally or
against any agent, employee or Retained Liquidation Professional of the
Liquidating Trustee, by legal or equitable proceedings or by virtue any statute
or otherwise, nor upon any promise, contract, instrument, undertaking,
obligation, covenant or agreement whatsoever executed by the Liquidating Trustee
under the Second Liquidation Plan, or by reason of the creation of any
indebtedness by the Liquidating Trustee under the Second Liquidation Plan for
any purpose authorized by the Second Liquidation Plan, it being expressly
understood and agreed that all such liabilities, covenants, and agreements of
the Liquidating Trustee, whether in writing or otherwise, shall be enforceable
only against and be satisfied only out of the Residual Liquidation Assets or
such part thereof as shall, under the terms of any such agreement, be liable
therefor or shall be evidence only of a right of payment out of the Residual
Liquidation Assets provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph
24 shall affect the liability of any of the parties listed above for gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

         25. Liability of the Liquidating Trustee. The Liquidating Trustee shall
not be liable for any act he may do or omit to do while acting in good faith and
in the exercise of his best judgment, and the fact that such act or omission was
advised by an authorized attorney (or other Retained Liquidation Professional)
for the Liquidating Trustee shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith and
best judgment; nor shall the Liquidating Trustee be liable in any event, except
for his gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         26. The Oversight Nominee. The Oversight Nominee is hereby appointed
and is bound to perform his duties in accordance with the terms of the Second
Liquidation Plan.

         27. Limited Liability. The Oversight Nominee shall not be liable for
anything other than his own acts as shall constitute willful misconduct or gross
negligence of its duties. None of the Oversight Nominee's designees, agents or
representatives or their respective employees, shall incur or be under any
liability or obligation by reason of any act done or omitted to be done, by the
Oversight Nominee or its designee, agent or representative or their employees in
connection with the Second Liquidation Plan. The Oversight Nominee may, in
connection with the performance of his functions, and in his sole and absolute
discretion, consult with counsel, accountants and its agents, and shall not be
liable for anything done or omitted or suffered to be done in accordance with
such advice or opinions. If the Oversight Nominee determines not to consult with
counsel, accountants or its agents, such determination shall not be deemed to
impose any liability on the Oversight Nominee.

         28. Engagement of Liquidation Retained Professionals. Upon the
Effective Date, the Liquidation Retained Professionals shall not be required to
comply with sections 327 through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention
or compensation for such services rendered, and the Liquidating Trustee and the
Liquidation Retained Professionals will be employed and paid in accordance with
the terms of the Second Liquidation Plan.

         29. Operating Reserve. The Liquidating Trustee will establish the
Operating Reserve in accordance with Section 9.14(b) of the Second Liquidation
Plan. Any funds deposited in the Operating Reserve shall be used to pay all
Oversight Nominee Expenses and Dissolution Expenses. The Operating Reserve shall
be funded in accordance with Section 9.14(b) of the Second Liquidation Plan. The
Operating Reserve shall not be subject to any claims, liens, interests or
encumbrances of any kind arising heretofore or hereafter, except as otherwise
expressly allowed herein or in the Second Liquidation Plan.

         30. Administrative Expense Claims Reserve. The Liquidating Trustee will
establish the Administrative Expense Claims Reserve in accordance with Section
9.14(c) of the Second Liquidation Plan. Any funds deposited in the
Administrative Expense Claims Reserve shall be used to pay all Allowed
Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Priority Non-Tax Claims
of the Liquidating Debtors. The Administrative Expense Claims Reserve shall be
funded in accordance with Section 9.14(c) of the Second Liquidation Plan. The
Administrative Expense Claims Reserve shall not be subject to any claims, liens,
interests or encumbrances of any kind arising heretofore or hereafter, except as
otherwise expressly allowed herein or in the Second Liquidation Plan.

         31. Return of Excess Reserves. Upon the occurrence of (a) the orders
closing each of the Chapter 11 Cases of the Liquidating Debtors becoming final
orders, (b) the Final Liquidation Determination Date as to all of the
Liquidating Debtors, and (c) the final payment of any remaining Dissolution
Expenses and Oversight Nominee Expenses, to the extent that there is any Cash in
the Operating Reserve or the Administrative Expense Claims Reserve, such Cash
shall be contributed to Reorganized Covanta.

         32. Transfer of the Liquidating Pledgor Debtor Assets. On the Effective
Date, the Liquidating Pledgor Debtor Assets shall be deemed transferred to
Reorganized Covanta pursuant to the Secured Creditor Direction. On the Effective
Date, such transfer shall be deemed complete. Such assets transferred pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be free and clear of all liens, claims,
interests and encumbrances upon the occurrence of the Effective Date.

         33. Transfer of the Designated DIP Collateral. On the Effective Date,
the Designated DIP Collateral shall be deemed transferred to Reorganized Covanta
pursuant to the DIP Lender Direction. On the Effective Date, such transfer shall
be deemed complete. Such assets transferred pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be free and clear of all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances upon
the occurrence of the Effective Date.

         34. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in section 1141(d)(3)
of the Bankruptcy Code, on and after the Confirmation Date, and subject to the
Effective Date, the provisions of the Second Liquidation Plan shall bind all
present and former holders of a Claim against, or Equity Interest in, the
applicable Liquidating Debtor and its respective successors, affiliates and
assigns, whether or not the Claim or Equity Interest of such holder is Impaired
under the Second Liquidation Plan and whether or not such holder has filed a
Proof of Claim or Equity Interest or accepted the Second Liquidation Plan. The
holders of Liens satisfied, discharged and released under the Second Liquidation
Plan shall execute any and all documentation reasonably requested by the Debtors
or the Liquidating Debtors evidencing the satisfaction, discharge and release of
such Liens and such Liens shall be deemed satisfied, discharged and released by
operation of this Confirmation Order.

         35. This Confirmation Order shall be binding upon and shall govern the
acts of all entities, including without limitation all filing agents, filing
officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of
deeds, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments,
secretaries of state, federal, state and local officials, and all other persons
and entities who may be required by operation of law, the duties of their
office, or contract, to accept, file, register or otherwise record or release
any documents or instruments, or who may be required to report or insure any
title or state of title in or with respect to the property of the Liquidating
Debtors.

         36. No Post-Confirmation Amendment or Filing of Claims. A Claim may not
be filed or amended after the Confirmation Date without the prior authorization
of the Court and, even with such Court authorization may be amended by the
holder of such Claim solely to decrease, but not to increase, the amount or
priority of the Claim. Except as otherwise permitted herein or in the Second
Liquidation Plan, a Claim filed or amended after the Confirmation Date shall be
deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any action by the Debtors, or the
Liquidating Debtors.

         37. Release Granted by the Liquidating Debtors. As of the Effective
Date, the Liquidating Debtors, on behalf of themselves and their Estates, shall
be deemed to release unconditionally all claims, obligations, suits, judgments,
damages, rights, causes of action, and liabilities whatsoever, against the
Released Parties, in each case whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen,
existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, based in whole or in
part upon actions taken with respect to any omission, transaction, event or
other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way
relating to the Liquidating Debtors, the Reorganizing Debtors, the Heber
Debtors, the Reorganization Plan Sponsor and the Investor Group, the Chapter 11
Cases, the Second Reorganization Plan, the Heber Reorganization Plan, the
Investment Purchase Agreement or this Second Liquidation Plan; provided that,
the release granted pursuant to this Confirmation Order shall in no way effect

or the property to be distributed thereunder, except for gross negligence or

         (c) Nothing in this Confirmation Order or any other provision of the

         39. Automatic Stay. The stay in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant
to section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall continue to be in effect until
the Effective Date, and at that time shall be dissolved and of no further force

Second Liquidation Plan or occurrence of the Effective Date, this Court shall
retain such jurisdiction as is legally permissible.

         42. Modification of Second Liquidation Plan. Subject to Section 13.9 of
the Second Liquidation Plan, after the entry of this Confirmation Order, the
Liquidating Debtors may, upon due notice and order of the Court (to the extent
required), amend or modify the Second Liquidation Plan in accordance with
section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or remedy any defect or omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Second Liquidation Plan or the Investment and
Purchase Agreement, as applicable, without prejudice to the Reorganization Plan
Sponsor's rights under the Investment and Purchase Agreement, in such manner as
may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Second
Reorganization Plan. A holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest
that has accepted or is deemed to have accepted the Second Liquidation Plan
shall be deemed to have accepted the Second Liquidation Plan as modified if the
proposed modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of
the Claim or Equity Interest of such holder.

         43. Severability. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial
interpretation that each term and provision of the Second Liquidation Plan, as
it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the forgoing, is
valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

         44. Exemptions from Taxation. Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Liquidating Debtors, the Liquidating Trust and the
Liquidating Trustee shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp
tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate
transfer tax, documentary transfer tax, mortgage recording tax or other similar
tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state and local governmental
officials or agents, and shall be, and hereby are, ordered and directed to
forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept
for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents
without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

         45. Separate Confirmation Orders. This Confirmation Order is and shall
be deemed a separate Confirmation Order with respect to each of the Liquidating
Debtors in each such Liquidating Debtors' separate Liquidation Case for all
purposes. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file and docket this
Confirmation Order in the Liquidation Case of each of the Liquidating Debtors.

         46. References to Second Liquidation Plan Provisions. The failure
specifically to include or reference any particular provision of the Second
Liquidation Plan in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the
effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Court that the
Second Liquidation Plan be confirmed in its entirety.

         47. Confirmation Order Controlling. If there is any direct conflict
between the Second Liquidation Plan and this Confirmation Order, the terms of
this Confirmation Order shall control.

         48. Reversal. If any or all of the provisions of this Confirmation
Order are hereafter reversed, modified or vacated by subsequent order of this
Court or any other court, such reversal, modification or vacatur shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the acts or obligations incurred or
undertaken under or in connection with the Second Liquidation Plan prior to the
Liquidating Debtors' receipt of written notice of such order. Notwithstanding
any such reversal, modification or vacatur of this Confirmation Order, any such
act or obligation incurred or undertaken pursuant to, and in reliance on, this
Confirmation Order prior to the effective date of such reversal, modification or
vacatur shall be governed in all respects by the provisions of this Confirmation
Order and the Second Liquidation Plan and all related documents or any
amendments or modifications thereto.

         49. No Stay of Confirmation Order. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e),
this Confirmation Order shall not be stayed and shall be effective upon entry on
the docket of this Court. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and
11.3 of the Second Liquidation Plan, and notwithstanding any otherwise
applicable law, immediately upon the entry of this Confirmation Order, the terms
of the Second Liquidation Plan (including the Plan Exhibits and all documents
and agreements executed pursuant to the Second Liquidation Plan) and this
Confirmation Order are deemed binding upon (a) the Debtors, (b) the Reorganized
Debtors,

         (c) all holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors,
whether or not Impaired under the Second Liquidation Plan and whether or not, if
Impaired, such holders accepted the Second Liquidation Plan, (d) the
Reorganization Plan Sponsor, (e) any other party in interest, (f) any other
Person making an appearance in the Chapter 11 Cases, and (g) each of the
foregoing's respective heirs, successors, assigns, trustees, executors,
administrators, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, representatives,
attorneys, beneficiaries, or guardians.

         50. Applicable Non-Bankruptcy Law. To the extent provided in sections
1123(a) and 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this Confirmation
Order, the Second Liquidation Plan or any amendments or modifications thereto
shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable
nonbankruptcy law.

         51. Post-Confirmation Notices. Covanta shall serve notice of entry of
this Confirmation Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002(f)(7), 2002(k) and

Liquidating Debtors as of the Record Date (as defined in the Disclosure
Statement) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Confirmation Date.

Department of Revenue. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Revenue
("Pennsylvania"), shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement and release and
discharge of and in exchange for its Priority Tax Claims, to the extent Allowed
by this Court (the "Pennsylvania Claims"), Cash equal to the unpaid portion of
such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on or as soon as practical after thirty (30)
days after the date on which such Priority Tax Claim becomes Allowed.
Furthermore, on or before sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, Ogden New
York Services, Inc. ("Ogden New York"), shall provide Pennsylvania with all tax
reports required by law to have been submitted to Pennsylvania prior to the
Effective Date in connection with the Pennsylvania Claims, to the extent Ogden
New York has not yet submitted such tax reports to Pennsylvania.

         53. If the Effective Date does not occur by June 15, 2004, this
Confirmation Order shall be deemed vacated and of no force and effect, unless
extended by order of the Court and in accordance with the terms of the
Investment and Purchase Agreement.
