We recorded a non-cash write-off of $16 million representing the    capitalized costs related to this project.(d) During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a non-cash write-    off of $11 million comprised of capitalized development costs related to    a development project which we ceased to pursue in the United Kingdom.    During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a non-cash write-    off of $5 million comprised of capitalized development costs and land    related to a development project which we ceased to pursue in the United    Kingdom.(e) During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a net gain related    to the termination of the pre-existing lease in connection with the    acquisition of the Delaware Valley energy-from-waste facility.(f) During the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a pension    settlement charge of $11 million.(g) For additional information, see Exhibit 7A - Note (a) - (b) of this    Press Release.(h) During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a foreign    exchange (gain) loss related to intercompany loans, respectively.(i) For additional information, see Item 8. Financial Statements and    Supplementary Data - Note 16. Income Taxes of Covanta's Annual Report on    Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.      (i) The expiration of the statute of limitations in 2011 triggered a      contractual liability to pay restricted funds to third party claimants      and resulted in other non-operating expense for the year ended      December 31, 2011 of $15 million with no related income tax benefit.      These payments related to tax liabilities set up in connection with      Covanta Energy's emergence from bankruptcy.      (ii) For the year ended December 31, 2011, the income tax provision      includes a $24 million benefit due to the reversal of uncertain tax      positions, following the expiration of applicable statutes of      limitations related to pre-emergence tax matters in the Covanta Energy      bankruptcy.(j) We are presenting this proforma calculation of the income tax effect on    all reconciling items for each period to illustrate the proforma impact    on income tax expense and net income. The proforma income tax impact    represents the tax provision amount related to the overall tax provision    calculated without the reconciling items when compared to the tax    provision reported under GAAP in the condensed consolidated statement of    income.

In 2011, the ETR included    the impact of the reversal of uncertain tax positions in 2011 (see    Exhibit 4A - Note (i) above). There is no tax benefit from the    contractual liability to pre-petition creditors and as a result, this    item had an impact on the effective tax rate in 2011.
