Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Effective as of April 10, 2015, Covanta Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of Covanta Holding Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amendment and restatement of the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2012, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the lenders named therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement:

 

  1. modified certain terms relating to $950 million of the $1 billion in revolving commitments; for these commitments the termination date was extended by one year to March 2020, the applicable margin was reduced by 25 basis points, and unused commitment fees payable were reduced on the Tranche A revolving commitment,

 

  2. refinanced the existing $198 million term loan due 2019 with a new $200 million term loan due March 2020 with a lower applicable margin, no LIBOR floor and scheduled amortization payments of $1.25 million per quarter beginning June 2016, and

 

  3. reduced the letter of credit sublimit from $1 billion to $600 million and removed the excess cash flow sweep.

The terms relating to the $50 million remaining revolving commitments are consistent with previously-existing terms of the revolving credit facility. All other material terms and conditions of the credit facilities remain unchanged. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Further information on the Credit Agreement is available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2014 under “Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
