SERVICES
The operations of Ogden's Services segment are performed primarily
through its Entertainment and Aviation groups. The operations and services
provided by the Entertainment group and Aviation group are performed through
joint ventures, partnerships and wholly-owned subsidiaries within each of the
groups. Each group provides a wide range of services to private and public
facilities throughout the United States and many foreign countries. In foreign
countries the development, construction, ownership and the providing of services
may expose Ogden to potential risks that typically are not involved in such
activities in the United States. The Entertainment and Aviation groups seek to
manage and mitigate these risks through political and financial analysis of the
foreign country; the analysis of key participants in each operation; insurance;
participation by international finance institutions; and joint ventures with
other companies. Payment for services is often made in whole or part in the
domestic currencies of the foreign country and the conversion of such currencies
into U.S. dollars may not be assured by a governmental or other creditworthy
foreign country agency. In addition, fluctuations in value of such currencies
against the U.S. dollar may cause the operation to yield less return than
expected. Also, the transfer of earnings and profits in any form beyond the
borders of the foreign country may be subject to special taxes or limitations
imposed by the laws of the foreign country.
Some customers of these two groups are billed on cost-plus or
fixed-price basis. Where services are performed on a cost-plus basis, the
customer reimburses the appropriate group for all acceptable reimbursable
expenditures made in connection with the job and also pays a fee, which may be a
percentage of the reimbursable expenditures, a specific dollar amount, or a
combination of the two.
Many contracts in the Aviation group may be written on a
month-to-month basis or provide for a longer or indefinite term but are
terminable by either party on notice varying from 30 to 180 days.
ENTERTAINMENT
The Entertainment group consists principally of interests in themed
attractions; live theater; concerts; gaming; large format theaters and films;
performing artist management; recorded music and video development; as well as
food, beverage and novelty concession operations; and facility management at
arena, stadiums, amphitheaters, civic/convention centers and other recreational
facilities. These services are provided to a wide variety of public and private
facilities including stadiums, convention and exposition centers, arenas, parks,
amphitheaters, and fairgrounds located in the United States, Mexico, Canada,
Argentina, Germany, Australia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Entertainment also
operates a racetrack and five off-track betting parlors in Illinois.
The facility management and concession arrangements under which this
group operates are individually negotiated and vary widely as to terms and
duration. Concession
<PAGE>
3
contracts and leases usually provide for payment by Entertainment of commissions
or rentals based on a stipulated percentage of gross sales or net profits,
sometimes with a minimum rental or payment. Most of the facility management
contracts are on a cost-plus-a-fee basis but a number of such contracts provide
for a sharing of profits and losses between Entertainment and the facility
owner.
Entertainment offers its customers a wide range of
project-development options, including the operational design review,
consultation during construction, and assistance with financing arrangements, as
well as operations of facilities, usually in return for long-term services and
concession contracts. In some cases Ogden Corporation guarantees Entertainment's
performance of these contracts as well as the financing arrangements.
Location Based Entertainment
Entertainment is involved in the development and operation of
nature-themed attractions and merchandising throughout the United States.
Grizzly Park, a nature-based entertainment center located at the entrance to
Yellowstone National Park is owned and operated by Entertainment. Within Grizzly
Park are, among other attractions, the Grizzly Discovery Center, a natural
habitat with grizzly bears and gray wolves, and a variety of stores and
restaurants.
The American Wilderness Experience(TM) is a newly developed
nature-themed attraction concept which has targeted five sites for development,
all at megamalls developed by The Mills Corporation in the United States. The
first is scheduled to open at the Ontario Mills mall in California during mid
1997. The other sites slated for development with The Mills Corporation include
Arizona Mills (Phoenix, Arizona), Grapevine Mills (Dallas, Texas), Gurnee Mills
(Chicago, Illinois) and Sawgrass Mills (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). These
nature-themed attractions will be developed and operated by Entertainment and
will feature live animals, foliage, scents and climates indigenous to each
environment, motion-simulation rides, themed retailing and restaurants.
Through a long-term leasehold interest, Entertainment operates
Silver Springs and Wild Waters, two nature-based attractions located near Ocala,
Florida. Silver Springs, located on a 250-acre park, is open 365 days a year and
features attractions consisting of jungle cruise boat rides, jeep safari rides,
animal shows, gift shops and eateries. Wild Waters, located on a six acre park,
features a variety of slides, a wave pool, miniature golf, food services and
other attractions and is open March through Labor Day.
In 1995, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey awarded
Entertainment an eleven and one-half year lease to renovate and operate the
107th Floor Observation Deck at the World Trade Center in New York City. The
Observation Deck, after undergoing a $6 million renovation, was opened to the
public in March 1997. The renovations include wide-screen, high- definition
television theaters that will take visitors on an aerial sightseeing tour of New
York City

and environs; interactive, multi-lingual kiosks at various viewing points; a
nightly rooftop light show; and exhibits showcasing the region's pre-eminence in
international trade, finance and the arts. The lease agreement provides that
Entertainment will pay the Port Authority an annual fee plus a percentage of
gross revenues above a certain level.
Entertainment through a joint venture operates La Rural de Palermo,
a 28-acre fair and exhibition center located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The
joint venture will continue the existing fair and exhibition business on the
property while developing a master plan for the development of the property to
include an entertainment attraction. Entertainment owns a 50% interest in the
joint venture and serves as the managing partner. As such, Entertainment directs
day-to-day operations and is responsible for creating and implementing the
development plan for this property.
Entertainment also owns an equity interest in Parques
Tecnocultiroles, S.A. ("Partecsa"), a Spanish Corporation based in Seville,
Spain. Partecsa was awarded a 30-year contract to convert, remodel, manage and
operate a 200-acre theme park located in Seville, Spain where the 1992
Exposition Fair was held. The park is scheduled to open in 1997.

The Corel Centre (formerly the Ottawa Palladium), a 19,000-seat
multipurpose indoor arena in Ottawa, Canada, which is owned by a third party,
opened in January of 1996, and Entertainment commenced operations under a
30-year contract to provide complete facility management and concession services
at this arena, which is the home of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey
League. Pursuant to the 30-year contract, Entertainment has agreed that the
Corel Centre, under Entertainment's management, will generate a minimum amount
of revenues and has agreed to advance funds, if necessary, to its customer to
assist in refinancing senior secured debt incurred in connection with
construction of the facility. Such refinancing requirements are currently
scheduled to amount to $75 million at maturity of the senior secured debt, which
is expected to be on or about January 1, 2001. Ogden anticipates that these
arrangements will be renegotiated to provide for an Ogden obligation to purchase
such senior secured debt in the amount of $95 million at the end of March 2000
if the debt is not refinanced. In addition, Ogden has guaranteed indebtedness of
$16.1 million of an affiliate and principal tenant of Entertainment's customer.
The owners of the Corel Centre are parties to a 30-year license agreement with
the owner of the Ottawa Senators, pursuant to which the Ottawa Senators began to
play their home games at the arena in January 1996.
Pursuant to a management agreement between the City of Anaheim,
California and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ogden, Entertainment manages and
operates the Arrowhead Pond, a facility owned by and located within the City of
Anaheim. Ogden has agreed that the Arrowhead Pond, under Entertainment's
management, will generate a minimum amount of revenues computed in accordance
with this 30-year management agreement with the City. The Arrowhead Pond is a
multi-purpose facility capable of accommodating professional basketball and
hockey, concerts and other attractions, and has a maximum seating capacity of
approximately 19,400. Entertainment also has a 30-year lease agreement with The
Walt Disney Company at the Arrowhead Pond pursuant to which the Anaheim Mighty
Ducks, a National Hockey League team owned by The Walt Disney Company, plays its
home games.

In Mexico, Entertainment provides food and beverage concessions at
the Sports Palace, a 22,000 seat arena, located in Mexico City, as well as the
new Autodrome Fundidora Amphitheater in Monterey, Mexico that is able to
accommodate 18,000 people.
Other Activities
Metropolitan Entertainment Company Inc. ("Metropolitan"), is a
leading concert promoter in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of
Massachusetts in which Entertainment owns a 50% interest. Metropolitan and
Entertainment, through their joint venture called the Metropolitan Entertainment
Group ("MEG"), conduct concert promotion activities, operate amphitheaters in
the eastern United States and concentrate on national and global music tours,
artist management, Broadway and television productions, recording, and music
publishing. MEG, through a long-term lease, operates the 20,000 capacity Darien
Lake Performing Arts Center located in Darien Lake, New York. MEG has also
established its own record label, Hybrid Recordings.
Entertainment leases and operates a thoroughbred and harness
racetrack and five off-track betting parlors in Illinois where it telecasts
races from Fairmount Park and other racing facilities. Restaurants and other
food and beverage services are provided by Entertainment at these facilities. A
large portion of the track's revenue is derived from its share of the
pari-mutuel handle, which can be adjusted by state legislation. Other income is
derived from admission charges, parking, programs and concessions.
Entertainment also provides concessions at zoos located in Seattle,
Washington; Cleveland, Ohio; and Columbia, South Carolina.
Entertainment also is engaged in the large-format film and theater
business. These large-format films are usually shown on screens six stories high
in specially designed theaters. Entertainment and Toronto-based Imax Corporation
have entered into a letter of intent to co- develop, build and operate fifteen
(15) large-format IMAX(R) theaters domestically and internationally over the
next five years. Entertainment has also formed a three-year co-production
agreement with two-subsidiaries of Sony Corporation of America for several
large-format films.
Entertainment's first venture into the gaming business occurred in
1996 when it began to operate the casino at the Americana Beach Resort in Aruba.
Entertainment's focus on gaming will be primarily on international properties
linked to wider entertainment endeavors.

AVIATION
The Aviation group provides specialized support services to airlines
at locations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the
Pacific Rim. The specialized support services provided by this group include
comprehensive ground handling, ramp, passenger, cargo and warehouse, aviation
fueling and in-flight catering services. These services are performed through
joint ventures, consortiums, contracts with individual airlines, consolidated
agreements with several airlines, and contracts with various airport
authorities.
The Aviation group's operations have undergone and continue to
undergo review and refinement through the sale of certain under-performing
operations such as: (i) its ground services operations at New York's Kennedy
International Airport; (ii) its VIP lounge in Chile; (iii) its in-flight kitchen
operations at the Miami International Airport and at several airports in Spain;
and (iv) certain of its skycap and security service operations at 15 airports
throughout the United States.
Ground Handling and Specialized Support Services
Ground handling services include diversified ramp operations such as
baggage unloading and loading, aircraft cleaning, aircraft maintenance, flight
planning, de-icing, cargo handling, warehouse operations and passenger-related
services such as ticketing, check-in, security and pre-board services, passenger
lounge operations, cargo/warehouse services and other miscellaneous services.
Global expansion by the Aviation group has resulted in providing
comprehensive ground handling and related services at many international
locations throughout Europe, Canada, South America, Asia and other countries.
Set forth below is a sampling of major foreign airports where Aviation currently
conducts ground handling operations:

Airport Privatization and Related Projects
A consortium, composed of Ogden Aviation Services, Inc., Macau
Aviation Services Corporation, EVA Airways, Air Macau and several local
companies and prominent businessmen, was awarded a 19-year contract, with a
16-year exclusivity arrangement, pursuant to which the consortium provides ramp
and cargo handling, passenger services, and aircraft line maintenance service at
the new Macau International Airport, which opened and began operations
<PAGE>
10
in November 1995. The consortium, of which Aviation Services is the managing
partner with a 29% participation, is providing all necessary passenger and ramp
equipment, has constructed a cargo warehouse and is in process of building cargo
and engineering facilities, an aircraft hangar and a state-of-the-art training
center at the airport. The consortium's investment in infrastructure
improvements and equipment in the new Macau airport is expected to exceed $40
million.
Aviation is also part of a consortium, of which Aviation has a 19%
interest, that has been awarded a 20-year concession contract by the Civil
Aviation Authority of Colombia to finance, build and operate a second runway at
the El Dorado Airport, in Bogota, Colombia. Aviation's consortium partners,
including Spain's Dragados y Contrucciones SA and Colombia's Conconcreto, are
building the 3.8-kilometer runway at an estimated cost of $97 million.
Construction, which began in 1996, is expected to be completed by May 1998. The
consortium will maintain the new runway, and the pre-existing runway, for
approximately 17 years in return for runway landing fees.
Applied Data Technology
Applied Data Technology, Inc. ("ADTI"), located in San Diego,
California, is a leading supplier of air combat maneuvering instrumentation
systems and after-action reporting and display systems. ADTI's range systems are
installed at Navy and Air Force aircraft training ranges to facilitate
air-to-air combat exercises and monitor, record and graphically display the
exact maneuvers of the aircraft on the ranges and simulate the various weapons
systems aboard the aircraft. These range automated systems are used by the U.S.
Navy and Air Force to train pilots for combat conditions and by the Department
of Defense in training pilots to avoid "friendly fire" incidents. ADTI's systems
are currently installed at four of the 14 domestic ranges, including the range
at the Top Gun school at Miramar, California. The range systems business
includes new ranges, expansion and upgrade of existing ranges, product support
and related programs.
OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING
Ogden's Services segment has completed the disposition of most of
its non-core businesses, including W.J. Schafer Associates, Inc., Ogden
Professional Services Corporation, Facility Services (except the New York
Region), Ogden BioServices Corporation, Universal Ogden Services (a 50% owned
joint venture), and Analytical Technologies, Inc. The disposition of other
non-core businesses, principally Atlantic Design Company, Inc., which provides
contract manufacturing; Facility Services (New York Region) which provides
facility management, maintenance, janitorial and manufacturing support services;
and certain in-flight kitchen operations, skycap services and security services
provided by its Aviation group, are expected to be sold during 1997.

ENERGY
The operations of Ogden's Energy segment are conducted by Ogden
Energy Group, Inc. through four principal business areas: independent power,
waste-to-energy, water and waste water and environmental consulting and
engineering (collectively the "Energy Group"). Since the early 1980's,
affiliates and subsidiaries of the Energy Group have been engaged in developing
and in some cases owning energy-generating projects fueled by municipal solid
waste, and providing long term services from these projects to communities. The
Energy Group is now the largest full service vendor (i.e., builder/operator) in
the world for waste-to-energy projects, based on both number of facilities as
well as throughput capacity. In addition, since 1989, subsidiaries have been
engaged in developing, owning and/or operating independent power production
projects. The Company seeks to utilize the expertise gained from these
activities in developing, owning or operating energy generating facilities in
the United States and abroad that utilize a variety of other fuels, as well as
water and wastewater facilities that will similarly serve communities on a long
term basis.
The Energy Group generally seeks to participate in projects in which
it can make an equity investment and become the operator; its returns will be
derived from equity distributions and/or operating fees. It also seeks to have a
role in the development of the projects. The types of projects in which the
Energy Group seeks to participate sell the electrical power services they
generate, or the waste or water-related services they provide, under long term
contracts or market concessions to utilities, government agencies providing
power distribution, creditworthy industrial users, or local government units
providing waste disposal or water and wastewater services. For power projects
utilizing a combustible fuel or geothermal sources, the Energy Group seeks
projects which have a secure supply of fuel or geothermal brine through
long-term supply arrangements or by obtaining control of the fuel source. The
Energy Group generally looks to finance its projects using equity or capital
commitments provided by it or other investors, combined with nonrecourse debt
for which the lender's sole source of payment is project revenues and assets.
The number of projects being pursued at any given time by the Energy
Group will, naturally, fluctuate. The complexities and uniqueness of
international project development in particular requires that the Energy Group
continually assess the likelihood of successful project financing throughout the
development stage and weigh that against the expected benefits. In addition, the
Energy Group may, depending upon circumstances and at the appropriate time,
elect to dispose of a portion of an equity interest it may have in a project
after financing.
INDEPENDENT POWER
The Energy Group's independent power business is conducted by its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Ogden Energy, Inc. ("OEI"). OEI develops, operates
and/or invests in independent (i.e., nonutility) electric energy generation
("Independent Power Production" or "IPP") projects which sell their output to
utilities, electricity distribution companies or industrial consumers in the
<PAGE>
12
United States and abroad. The activities of this group do not include the
development of generating facilities fueled by solid waste, which are conducted
by the waste-to-energy group, discussed below.
The Energy Group presently has interests in IPP projects with an
aggregate generating capacity of 1172 MW (gross) either operating or under
construction in the United States, Central and South America, and The
Philippines. It continues to seek to expand its ownership and operation of IPP
projects in these and other regions, primarily with focus on development
opportunities in the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia and India. The Energy Group's
IPP business is facilitated through field offices in Hong Kong; Manila, The
Philippines; Taipei, Taiwan, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

During 1996 and early 1997, the Energy Group successfully completed
the development stage of its largest international project to date. A
consortium, of which the Energy Group is a member has developed and is now
constructing a 480 MW coal-fired electric generating facility in the Republic of
the Philippines (the "Quezon Project"). The other members of the consortium are
affiliates of International Generating Company, an affiliate of Bechtel
Enterprises, Inc. and PMR Limited Co., a Philippines partnership. The consortium
entered into a power purchase agreement with Manila Electric Company
("Meralco"), the largest electric distribution company in The Philippines, which
serves the area surrounding and including metropolitan Manila. Under the terms
of the agreement, Meralco is obligated, for a period of 25 years, to purchase
stated minimum annual quantities of electricity produced by the facility on
terms and at prices set forth in the agreement. The consortium has entered into
contracts for the supply of coal at stated prices for a portion of the term of
the power purchase agreement.
The power purchase agreement has been approved by the Philippines
Energy Regulatory Board. The project has received an environmental clearance
certificate, the primary environmental permit required for construction and
operation, together with all permits required to commence ground-clearing and
grading activities. Site acquisition has been substantially completed. Total
cost of development and construction of the Quezon Project is expected to be
approximately $800 million. A notice to proceed with construction of the
facility has been issued to the turnkey contractors, which are affiliates of
Bechtel Enterprises, Inc., and construction of the facility commenced on
December 27, 1996. An Energy Group subsidiary will operate the Quezon Project on
behalf of the consortium for a 25 year term from the commencement of commercial
operation.
On December 30, 1996, the consortium concluded negotiations with and
executed financing agreements with construction and term lenders to the Quezon
Project, including Union Bank of Switzerland and the US Export-Import Bank. On
February 11, 1997 the financing was
<PAGE>
13
closed, subject to certain conditions subsequent which must be satisfied prior
to the initial loan disbursement. All conditions to release of loan proceeds are
expected to be satisfied in due course.
The Energy Group will receive certain limited amounts of revenue
from the Quezon Project during construction. Operating revenue is expected to
commence upon commercial operation, projected for January 2000.
Operating Facilities.
The Energy Group's operating IPP projects utilize a variety of
energy sources: water (hydroelectric), natural gas, geothermal energy, and
petroleum distillates. The Quezon Project when completed will utilize coal.
The Group's hydroelectric projects include the New Martinsville,
West Virginia project, which is operated through a wholly-owned subsidiary. The
output is sold under a long term contract with Monongohela Power Company. The
Energy Group has an ownership interest in the Don Pedro project in Costa Rica
through an equity investment in Energia Global, Inc. ("EGI"). Don Pedro is owned
by EGI and is operated by an affiliate of the Energy Group. A second
hydroelectric project, Rio Vulcan, is scheduled to commence operation in 1997
and also will be operated by an Energy Group affiliate. The electric output from
both of these facilities is sold to Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad.
The Energy Group's natural gas projects include the Brandywine
Maryland facility which began operation in 1996. This facility is operated by a
subsidiary of the Energy Group, and its output is sold to Potomac Electric Power
Company. The other natural gas projects are located in Bolivia, where affiliates
of the Energy Group own an interest in Empresa Valle Hermoso ("EVH") which was
formed by the Bolivian government as part of the capitalization of the
government-owned utility ENDE. EVH owns and operates 215 MW of gas-fired
generating capacity. An affiliate of OEI participates in a joint venture that
supplies EVH with management services support.
The Energy Group is the lessee of two geothermal facilities in
California, both of which are operated by the Group's affiliates, and a
geothermal resource which is adjacent to and supplies fluid to both geothermal
facilities. The electricity from both projects, the Heber and SIGC facilities,
is sold under long-term contracts with Southern California Edison.
In 1996, the Energy Group added diesel fuel facilities to its
portfolio through the acquisition of equity interests in two projects in the
Philippines: the Bataan Cogeneration project and the Island Power project. These
projects will be operated by an affiliate of the Energy Group. The Bataan
Cogeneration project has a long-term contract to sell its electrical output to
the National Power Corporation (with which it also has entered into a fuel
management agreement for fuel supply) and the Bataan Export Processing Zone
Authority, while the Island Power project has a long-term power contract with
the Occidental Mindoro Electric Cooperative.

(5) The OEI affiliate owns an approximately 24% interest in a consortium that
purchased 50% of Empresa Valle Hermoso. The remaining 50% is owned by
Bolivian pension funds.
(6) An OEI affiliate has an approximately 26% ownership interest in the
project.
(c) Other Development Efforts. The Energy Group is actively pursuing
several projects, some of which have achieved significant development milestones
such as executed power purchase agreements, or receipt of key governmental
approvals. As with all development efforts, however, there are in each case
numerous conditions to be satisfied prior to financing, some of which are not
within the Energy Group's control. As such, no assurance can be given that these
projects will ultimately be developed successfully.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY
The Energy Group's waste-to-energy operations have been consolidated
in a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ogden Waste to Energy, Inc. ("OWTE").
Waste-to-energy facilities combust municipal solid waste to make saleable energy
in the form of electricity or steam. This group completed construction of its
first waste-to-energy project in 1986. It currently operates 28 waste-to-energy
projects at 27 locations. The Energy Group's affiliates are the owners or
lessees of 17 of its projects. OWTE has the exclusive right to market in the
United States the proprietary, mass-burn technology of Martin GmbH fur
Umwelt-und Energietechnik ("Martin"). All of the facilities the Energy Group has
constructed use this Martin technology. In addition, the Energy Group operates
facilities using other technologies.
Generally, OWTE, through wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Operating
Subsidiaries"), provides waste-to-energy services pursuant to long-term service
contracts ("Service Agreements") with local governmental units sponsoring the
waste-to-energy project ("Client Communities"). Certain of its facilities do not
have sponsoring Client Communities.
(a) Terms and Conditions of Service Agreements.
Each Service Agreement is different in order to reflect the specific
needs and concerns of the Client Community, applicable regulatory requirements,
and other factors. The following description sets forth terms that are generally
common to these agreements:
o The Operating Subsidiary designs the facility, helps to
arrange for financing, and then constructs and equips the
facility on a fixed price and schedule basis.
o The Operating Subsidiary operates the facility and generally
guarantees it will meet minimum processing capacity and
efficiently standards, energy production levels, and
environmental standards. The Operating Subsidiary's failure to
meet these guarantees or to otherwise observe the material
terms of the Service Agreement (unless caused by the Client
Community or by events beyond its control ("Unforeseen
<PAGE>
16
Circumstances")) may result in liquidated damages being
charged to the Operating Subsidiary or, if the breach is
substantial, continuing and unremedied, the termination of the
Service Agreement. In the case of such Service Agreement
termination, the Operating Subsidiary may be obligated to
discharge project indebtedness;
o The Client Community is generally required to deliver minimum
quantities of municipal solid waste ("MSW") to the facility
and is obligated to pay a service fee for its disposal,
regardless of whether that quantity of waste is delivered to
the facility. The service fee escalates to reflect indexes of
inflation. In many cases the Client Community must also pay
for transportation of the residue to the disposal site.
Generally, expenses resulting from the delivery of
unacceptable and hazardous waste on the site, are also borne
by the Client Community. In addition, the Client Community is
also generally responsible to pay increased expenses and
capital costs resulting from Unforeseen Circumstances, subject
to limits which may be specified in the Service Agreement;
o Ogden Corporation typically guarantees each Operating
Subsidiary's performance under its respective Service
Agreement.
o The Client Community reimburses the Operating Subsidiary for
certain costs specified in the Service Agreement including
taxes, governmental impositions (other than income taxes),
certain consumables, ash disposal and utility expenses. The
Client Community usually retains a portion of the energy
revenues (generally 90%) generated by the facility, with the
balance paid to the Operating Subsidiary. If the facility is
owned by the Operating Subsidiary, the Client Community also
pays as part of the Service Fee an amount equal to the debt
service due to be paid on the bonds issued to finance the
facility. At most facilities, the Energy Group may earn
additional fees from accepting waste from the Client Community
or others utilizing the capacity of the facility, which
exceeds the amount of waste committed by the Client Community.
Affiliates of the Energy Group operate transfer stations in
connection with some of its waste-to-energy facilities and, in connection with
the Montgomery County, Maryland project, use a railway system to transport MSW
and ash residue to and from the facility. In addition, affiliates lease and
operate a landfill located at its Haverhill, Massachusetts, facility, and lease,
but do not operate, a landfill in connection with its Bristol, Connecticut,
facility.
(b) Other Arrangements for Providing Waste-to-Energy Services. The
Energy Group owns two facilities that are not operated pursuant to Service
Agreements with Client Communities and may undertake in the future additional
such projects. In such projects, the Operating Subsidiary must obtain sufficient
waste under contracts with haulers or communities to ensure sufficient project
revenues. In these cases, the Operating Subsidiary is subject to risks
<PAGE>
17
usually assumed by the Client Community, such as those associated with
Unforeseen Circumstances and the supply and price of municipal waste to the
extent not contractually assumed by other parties. The Group's current contracts
with waste suppliers for these two facilities provide that the tipping fee
charged for waste disposal service generally escalates with specified indices
but otherwise is subject to limited increases in the event that costs of
operation increase as a result of Unforeseen Circumstances. On the other hand,
in these cases, the Operating Subsidiary generally retains all of the energy
revenues from sales of power to utilities or industrial power users and disposal
fees for waste accepted at these facilities. Accordingly, the Energy Group
believes that such projects carry both greater risks and greater potential
rewards than projects in which there is a Client Community.
(c) Project Financing. Financing for domestic projects is generally
accomplished through the issuance of a combination of tax-exempt and taxable
revenue bonds issued by or on behalf of the Client Community. If the facility is
owned by the Operating Subsidiary the Client Community loans the bond proceeds
to the Operating Subsidiary and pays to the Operating Subsidiary amounts
necessary to pay debt service. For such facilities, project-related debt is
included as a liability in Ogden's consolidated financial statements. Generally,
such debt is secured by the revenues pledged under the respective indenture and
is collateralized by the assets of the Operating Subsidiary and otherwise
provides no recourse to Ogden, subject to construction and operating performance
guarantees and commitments.

(1) Facility is owned by an owner/trustee pursuant to a sale/leaseback
arrangement.
(2) Facility has been designed to allow for the addition of another unit.
(3) Facility is owned by the Client Community.
(4) Phase II of the Tulsa facility, which was financed as a separate project,
expanded the capacity of the facility from two to three units.
(5) Operating Subsidiaries were purchased after completion, and use a
mass-burn technology that is not the Martin Technology.
(6) Owned by a limited partnership in which the limited partners are not
affiliated with Ogden.
(7) Under contracts with the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority and
Northeast Utilities, the Operating Subsidiary operates only the boiler and
turbine for this facility.
(8) Operating contracts were acquired after completion. Facility uses a
refuse-derived fuel technology and does not employ the Martin Technology.
(e) Technology. The principal feature of the Martin Technology is
the reverse- reciprocating stoker grate upon which the waste is burned. The
patent for the basic stoker grate technology used in the Martin Technology
expired in 1989. The Energy Group has no information that would cause it to
believe that any other company uses the basic stoker grate technology that was
protected by the expired patent. Moreover, the Energy Group believes that
unexpired patents on other portions of the Martin technology and other
proprietary know how would limit the ability of other companies to effectively
use the basic stoker grate technology in competition with the Energy Group.
There are several unexpired patents related to the Martin Technology including:
(i) Grate Bar for Grate Linings, especially in Incinerators - expires, 1999;
(ii) Method and Arrangement for Reducing NOx Emissions from Furnaces - expires
2000; (iii) Method and Apparatus for Regulating the Furnace Output of
Incineration Plants - expires 2007; (iv) Method for Regulating the Furnace
Output in Incineration Plants - expires 2008; and (v) Feed Device with Filling
Hopper and Adjoining Feed Chute for Feeding Waste to Incineration Plants -
<PAGE>
19
expires 2008. More importantly, the Energy Group believes that it is Martin's
know-how and worldwide reputation in the waste-to-energy field, and the Energy
Group know-how in designing, constructing and operating waste-to-energy
facilities, rather than the use of patented technology, that is important to the
Energy Group's competitive position in the waste-to-energy industry in the
United States. Ogden does not believe that the expiration of the patent covering
the basic stoker grate technology or patents on other portions of the Martin
Technology will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's financial condition or
competitive position.
The Energy Group believes that mass burn technology is now the
predominant technology used for the combustion of solid waste. Overall, there
are several other mass-burn technologies available in the market including those
of Von Roll, W&E, Takuma, Volund, Steinmueller, Deutsche Babcock, and Detroit
Stoker. In addition, other innovative non-mass burn technologies have been
developed from time-to-time. Such technologies may claim reduced air emissions,
but to date have been unproven on a large scale operation and appear likely to
be substantially more expensive. Martin seeks to implement improvements and
modifications to its technology in order to maintain its competitive position
with non-mass burn technologies. However, should such technologies develop that
offer competitive advantages to mass burn, the Energy Group's ability to respond
in the United States would be limited by the Cooperation Agreement--see (f)
below.
(f) The Cooperation Agreement. Under an agreement between Martin and
an Ogden affiliate (the "Cooperation Agreement"), the Energy Group's subsidiary,
Ogden Projects, Inc. ("OPI") has the exclusive rights to market the proprietary
technology (the "Martin Technology") of Martin in the United States, Canada,
Mexico, Bermuda, certain Caribbean countries, most of Central and South America,
and Israel. Martin is obligated to assist OPI in installing, operating, and
maintaining facilities incorporating the Martin technology. The fifteen year
term of the Cooperation Agreement renews automatically each year unless notice
of termination is given, in which case the Cooperation Agreement would terminate
15 years after such notice. Additionally, the Cooperation Agreement may be
terminated by either party if the other fails to remedy its material default
within 90 days or notice. The Cooperation Agreement is also terminable by Martin
if there is a change of control (as defined in the Cooperation Agreement) of
Ogden Martin Systems, Inc. ("OMS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OPI or any
direct or indirect parent of OMS not approved by its respective board of
directors. Although termination would not affect the rights of OPI to design,
construct, operate, maintain, or repair waste-to-energy facilities for which
contracts have been entered into or proposals made prior to the date of
termination, the loss of OPI's right to use the Martin Technology could have a
material adverse effect on OPI's future business and prospects.
(g) Other Development Efforts. The Energy Group has no firm
commitments in its waste-to-energy backlog as of December 31, 1996. As of
December 31, 1995, it had one project in its backlog, which the client
community, Mercer County, New Jersey, has since announced it intends to cancel.

WATER AND WASTEWATER
The Energy Group's water and wastewater business is conducted
through Ogden Yorkshire Water Company ("OYWC"). OYWC's mission is to develop,
design, construct, maintain, operate, and in some cases own, water and
wastewater treatment facilities and distribution and collection networks in the
United States, Canada, Latin America and elsewhere. Although OYWC was formed in
1994 as a joint venture with a British water utility, Yorkshire Water PLC, in
1996, Yorkshire Water PLC determined that it needed to refocus its efforts on
its core business in the United Kingdom, and terminated its ownership interest
in OYWC and its projects. Yorkshire Water PLC and its affiliates will, however,
continue to provide engineering, operations and marketing support and services
to OYWC under a contract which expires in 1999.
In the United States, OYWC seeks to participate in water projects in
which, under contracts with municipalities, it privatizes water or wastewater
facilities, agrees to build new or substantially augment existing facilities and
agrees to operate and maintain the facilities under long term contracts.
Although in certain situations it would consider entering into operational
contracts for facilities in which it has no ownership or long term leasehold
interest, and presently has such contracts with three small communities in New
York State, the Energy Group generally does not believe such contracts provide
adequate returns.
The development of the privatization market for water and wastewater
projects in the United States has been hampered by certain legal constraints,
primarily restrictions imposed by federal tax regulations that have historically
limited the ability of municipalities to enter into long term operating
contracts with private entities for facilities financed with tax exempt
municipal bonds. In early 1997, the Internal Revenue Service significantly
relaxed these restrictions. It is expected that these changes should allow
municipalities to more easily privatize existing water and wastewater systems.
OYWC believes there are opportunities for projects in the United States,
especially in circumstances where substantial new construction is required, and
in 1996 it submitted proposals to municipalities for several such opportunities.
In countries other than the United States, the Energy Group is
seeking water and wastewater opportunities in which it will provide services to
municipalities in which it can own an equity interest in water facilities under
a concession that grants it the right to provide service to, and collect
revenues from, consumers. The Energy Group believes that the lack of
creditworthiness of non-U.S. municipalities, which may result from their limited
ability to raise revenues or from other causes, makes the collection of tariffs
from the consumer a more secure source of revenue.
Under contractual arrangements, OYWC may be required to warrant
certain levels of performance and may be subject to financial penalties or
termination if it fails to meet these warranties. The Company may be required to
guarantee the performance of OYWC. OYWC seeks not to take responsibility for
conditions that are beyond its control.
(a) Water and Wastewater Projects. OYWC operates and maintains
wastewater treatment facilities for three small municipalities in New York
State. Such facilities cumulatively
<PAGE>
21
process approximately 11.8 million gallons per day ("mgd"). In addition, OYWC
operates and maintains the municipal wastewater treatment facilities for several
other small government and privately owned concerns that cumulatively process
less than 1 mgd. All of the facilities are operated pursuant to short-term
contracts.
(b) Other Development Efforts. The Energy Group currently has no
firm commitments in its water and wastewater backlog. It has, however, received
a project award with respect to a 32 year concession serving a population in
excess of 700,000 in the City of Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
The project encompasses taking over the existing wastewater and sewage
facilities in Muscat, as well as the construction and operation of new water and
wastewater infrastructure. The infrastructure capital program would be phased in
over eight years, with the first phase projected to require approximately $285
million in new construction. OYWC's role would be as operator on behalf of a
joint venture to be formed. The joint venture's arrangement with the government
would be on a Build/Own/Operate/Transfer basis, and some equity capital,
expected to be approximately $12 million, would be required of OYWC. The
implementation of the Muscat project remains subject to several conditions
precedent, many of which are beyond the control of OYWC.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND ENGINEERING
The Energy Group's environmental consulting services are provided
through Ogden Environmental and Energy Services Co., Inc. ("OEES") which
provides a comprehensive range of environmental, infrastructure and energy
consulting, engineering and design services to industrial and commercial
companies, electric utilities and governmental agencies. These services include
analysis and characterization, remedial investigations, engineering and design,
data management, project management, and regulatory assistance which are
provided to a variety of clients in the public and private sectors in the United
States and abroad. Principal clients include major Federal agencies,
particularly the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, as well as
major corporations in the chemical, petroleum, transportation, public utility
and health care industries and Federal and state regulatory authorities. United
States Government contracts may be terminated, in whole or in part, at the
convenience of the government or for cause. In the event of a convenience
termination, the government is obligated to pay the costs incurred under the
contract plus a fee based upon work completed.
Professional environmental engineering services, including program
management, environmental analysis, and restoration continues to be provided by
OEES to the United States Navy CLEAN Program (Comprehensive Long Term
Environmental Action Navy) pursuant to a 10-year contract awarded during 1991.
Thus far OEES has provided these services at Navy bases in Hawaii, Guam, Japan,
Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia and Korea.
OEES also continues to oversee the removal of storage tanks and
contaminated soil from Air Force bases across the United States and in U.S.
territories.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The Energy Group develops projects in many countries, and in doing
so seeks to implement its strategy for the development of its business in
selected international markets where private development is encouraged. It seeks
to do so by focusing on a limited number of opportunities which can be developed
in conjunction with high quality local and international partners. Offices have
been established in Hong Kong, Manila, Sao Paulo, and Taipei in order to service
foreign projects. Opportunities in foreign countries for the services provided
by the Group are highly dependent upon the elimination of historic legal and
political barriers to the participation of foreign capital and foreign companies
in the financing, construction, ownership and operation of infrastructure
facilities. For example, in many countries, the production, distribution and
delivery of electricity has traditionally been provided by governmental or
quasi-governmental agencies. Although a number of these countries have recently
liberalized their laws and policies with regard to the participation of private
interests and foreign capital in their electric sectors, not all have done so,
and not all that have done so may afford acceptable opportunities for the Energy
Group.
The development, construction, ownership and operation of facilities
in foreign countries also exposes the Company to several potential risks that
typically are not involved in such activities in the United States.
Many of the countries in which the Energy Group is or intends to be
active are lesser developed countries or developing countries. The financial
condition and creditworthiness of the potential purchasers of power and services
provided by the Energy Group which may be a governmental or private utility or
industrial consumer--or of the suppliers of fuel for projects in these
countries--may not be as strong as those of similar entities in developed
countries. The obligations of the purchaser under the power purchase agreement,
the service recipient under the related service agreement and the supplier under
the fuel supply agreement generally are not guaranteed by any host country or
other creditworthy governmental agency. Whenever such governmental guarantees
are not available, the Energy Group undertakes a credit analysis of the proposed
power purchaser or fuel supplier. It also seeks to cause such parties to
adequately secure the performance of their obligations through contractual
commitments and, where necessary, through the provision by such entities of
financial instruments such as letters of credit or arrangements regarding the
escrowing of the receivables of such parties in the case of power purchasers.
The Energy Group's IPP and waste-to-energy projects in particular
are dependent on the reliable and predictable delivery of fuel meeting the
quantity and quality requirements of the project facilities. The Energy Group
will typically seek to negotiate long-term contracts for the supply of fuel with
creditworthy and reliable suppliers under terms that will permit it to project
the future cost of fuel through the life of the contract. However, the
reliability of fuel deliveries may be compromised by one or more of several
factors that may be more acute or may occur more frequently in developing
countries than in developed countries, including a lack of sufficient
infrastructure to support deliveries under all circumstances, bureaucratic
delays in the import, transportation and storage of fuel in the host country,
customs and tariff disputes and local or
<PAGE>
23
regional unrest or political instability. In most of the projects in which the
Energy Group participates internationally, it seeks to shift the consequences of
interruptions in the delivery of fuel, whether due to the fault of the fuel
supplier or due to reasons beyond the fuel supplier's control, to the
electricity purchaser or service recipient by securing a suspension of its
operating responsibilities under the applicable agreements and an extension of
its operating concession under such agreements and/or, in some instances, by
requiring the energy purchaser or service recipient to continue to make payments
in respect of fixed costs. In order to mitigate the effect of short term
interruptions in the supply of fuel, the Energy Group endeavors to provide
on-site storage of fuel in sufficient quantities.
Payment for services that the Energy Group provides will often be
made in whole or part in the domestic currencies of the host countries.
Conversion of such currencies into U.S. dollars generally is not assured by a
governmental or other creditworthy country agency, and may be subject to
limitations in the currency markets, as well as restrictions of the host
country. In addition, fluctuations in value of such currencies against the value
of the U.S. dollar may cause the Energy Group's participation in such projects
to yield less return than expected. Transfer of earnings and profits in any form
beyond the borders of the host country may be subject to special taxes or
limitations imposed by host country laws. The Energy Group seeks to participate
in projects in jurisdictions where limitations on the convertibility and
expatriation of currency have been lifted by the host country and where such
local currency is freely exchangeable on the international markets. In most
cases, components of project costs incurred or funded in the currency of the
United States are recovered without risk of currency fluctuation through
negotiated contractual adjustments to the price charged for electricity or
service provided.
In addition, the Energy Group will generally participate in projects
which provide services that are treated as a matter of national or key economic
importance by the laws and politics of many host countries. There is therefore
risk that the assets constituting the facilities of these projects could be
temporarily or permanently expropriated or nationalized by a host country, or
made subject to martial or exigent law or control.
The Energy Group will seek to manage and mitigate these risks
through all available means that it deems appropriate. They will include:
political and financial analysis of the host countries and the key participants
in each project; guarantees of relevant agreements with creditworthy entities;
political risk and other forms of insurance; participation by international
finance institutions, such as affiliates of the World Bank, in financing of
projects in which it participates; and joint ventures with other companies to
pursue the development, financing and construction of these projects.

OTHER INFORMATION
MARKETS, COMPETITION AND GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Ogden's Entertainment, Aviation and Energy Groups business segments
can be adversely affected by general economic conditions, war, inflation,
adverse competitive conditions, governmental restrictions and controls, natural
disasters, energy shortages, weather, the adverse financial condition of
customers and suppliers, various technological changes and other factors over
which Ogden has no control.
The economic climate can also adversely affect several of Ogden's
operations, including, but not limited to, fewer airline flights, reduced
in-flight meals and flight cancellations in the Aviation group; and, reduced
event attendance in its Entertainment group. In addition, disputes between
owners of professional sports organizations and the professional players of such
organizations have affected and may continue to affect the operations of the
Entertainment group.
Competition for projects is intense in all markets in which the
Energy Group does business or intends to do business. There are numerous
companies in the United States and in foreign countries that pursue these
projects. Many of these companies have more experience, capital and other
resources than does Ogden.
The Energy Group expends substantial amounts for the development of
new businesses, some of which expenditures are capitalized. Generally, it
receives funds to undertake these activities from Ogden. Beyond staffing costs,
expenditures include the costs of contract and site acquisition, feasibility and
environmental studies, technical and financial analysis, and in some cases the
preparation of extensive proposals in response to public or private requests for
proposals. Development of projects involves substantial risk to the developers
which is not within their control. Success depends upon obtaining in a timely
manner acceptable contractual arrangements and financing, appropriate sites,
acceptable licenses, environmental permits and governmental approvals. Even
after the required contractual arrangements are achieved, implementation of the
contract often is subject to substantial conditions that may be outside the
control of the developer. If development opportunities in which the Energy Group
is involved are no longer viewed as viable, such costs are written off as an
expense. In some, but not all, circumstances, the Energy Group makes contractual
arrangements for the partial recovery of development costs if the project fails
to be implemented for reasons beyond its control.
The Energy Group's businesses are subject to a variety of
competitive and market influences, and these influences are different for each
of its principal business areas. Its IPP business faces a domestic market that
is expected to change substantially in the years ahead from a mature, highly
regulated and uncompetitive market for energy services to a less regulated and
more competitive market as utilities restructure for deregulation and
termination of their traditional monopolies. The international market for energy
services is characterized by a large demand and much competition for projects
within a relatively immature market framework.

The domestic market for waste-to-energy services has largely matured
and is now heavily regulated. New opportunities for domestic projects are
expected to be scarce for the foreseeable future. Foreign demand for waste to
energy projects is also expected to exist only in unique circumstances where
other disposal options are unavailable or unusually costly. This reflects a
number of factors that adversely affected communities' willingness to make
long-term capital commitments to waste disposal projects, including: declining
prices at which energy can be sold; declining alternative disposal costs;
uncertainties about the impact of recycling on the waste stream; and continuing
concerns arising from the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Another factor
affecting the demand for new waste-to-energy projects was a 1994 United States
Supreme Court decision invalidating state and local laws and regulations
mandating that waste generated within a given jurisdiction be taken to a
designated facility. See "Flow Control". Notwithstanding the decline in
opportunities for new waste-to-energy facilities, OWTE believes there may be
opportunities at existing facilities for expansion. Many of these factors also
impact, to varying degrees, the competitiveness of the pricing established by
Client Communities at OWTE's operating projects. For example, in most of the
markets that OWTE currently serves, the cost of waste-to-energy services is
competitive with the cost of other disposal alternatives, mainly landfilling.
However, much of the landfilling done in the United States is done on a spot
market or through short-term contracts (less than 5 years), and the resulting
price volatility means that market prices may at times be lower than prices at
waste-to-energy facilities, which, like OWTE's, are typically based on long-term
contracts and pricing. In addition, the cost competitiveness of operating
waste-to-energy facilities also depends on the prices at which the facility can
sell the energy it generates, and the additional charges that some Client
Communities add to their fee structures.
The Energy Group's water and wastewater business faces an immature
but developing domestic market for private water and wastewater services, and,
like energy, a large foreign demand within an immature marketplace.
With these market dynamics, the Energy Group believes that its
primary but not exclusive development focus for new projects during the next
several years will be in the IPP area.
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
In recent years, governmental agencies (including the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission) and representatives of minority groups and
women have asserted claims against many companies, including some Ogden
subsidiaries, alleging that certain persons have been discriminated against in
employment, promotions, training, or other matters. Frequently, private actions
are brought as class actions, thereby increasing the practical exposure. In some
instances, these actions are brought by many plaintiffs against groups of
defendants in the same industry, thereby increasing the risk that any defendant
may incur liability as a result of activities which are the primary
responsibility of other defendants. Although Ogden and its subsidiaries have
attempted to provide equal opportunity for all of its employees, the combination
of the foregoing factors and others increases the risk of financial exposure.
<PAGE>

EMPLOYEE AND LABOR RELATIONS
As of March 1, 1997, Ogden and its subsidiaries had approximately
30,000 U.S. and Canadian employees.
Certain employees of Ogden are employed pursuant to collective
bargaining agreements with various unions. During 1996 Ogden successfully
renegotiated collective bargaining agreements in certain of its business sectors
with no strike-related loss of service. However, in January 1996, negotiations
between New York City commercial office building owners and Local 32B-32J
Service Employees international Union, AFL-CIO broke off following the December
31, 1995 expiration of the previous industry-wide collective bargaining
agreement. As a result thereof approximately 30,000 Union employees went on
strike on January 4, 1996. Ogden's New York Facility Management operations
employs approximately 1,700 Union employees which were affected by the strike
under contracts with the building owners. The strike was settled in February
1996 and there was no significant impact on Ogden's consolidated operations as a
result of this strike. Ogden considers relations with its employees to be good
and does not anticipate any further significant labor disputes in 1997.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY LAWS
(a) Domestic. The Energy Group business activities in the United
States are pervasively regulated pursuant to federal, state and local
environmental laws. Federal laws, such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act,
and their state counterparts, govern discharges of pollutants to air and water.
Other federal, state, and local laws, comprehensively govern the generation,
transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of solid waste, including
hazardous waste (such laws and the regulations thereunder, "Environmental
Regulatory Laws").
The Environmental Regulatory Laws and other federal, state, and
local laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act ("CERCLA") (collectively, "Environmental Remediation Laws"), make
the Energy Group potentially liable on a joint and several basis for any
environmental contamination which may be associated with its activities at
sites, including landfills, which the Energy Group's subsidiaries have owned,
operated, or leased or at which there has been disposal of residue or other
waste handled or processed by such subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, the
Energy Group leases and operates a landfill in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and
leases a landfill in Bristol, Connecticut, in connection with its projects at
those locations. Some state and local laws also impose liabilities for injury to
persons or property caused by site contamination. Some Service Agreements
provide for indemnification of the operating subsidiaries from some such
liabilities.
The Environmental Regulatory Laws require that many permits be
obtained before the commencement of construction and operation of
waste-to-energy, independent power and water and wastewater projects. There can
be no assurance that all required permits will be issued, and the process of
obtaining such permits can often cause lengthy delays, including delays caused
by third-party appeals challenging permit issuance. Failure to meet conditions
of these permits or of the Environmental Regulatory Laws and the corresponding
regulations can subject an
<PAGE>
27
Operating Subsidiary to regulatory enforcement actions by the appropriate
governmental unit, which could include monetary penalties, and orders requiring
certain remedial actions or limiting or prohibiting operation. To date, the
Energy Group has not incurred material penalties, been required to incur
material capital costs or additional expenses, nor been subjected to material
restrictions on its operations as a result of violations of environmental laws,
regulations, or permits. Certain of the Environmental Regulatory Laws authorize
suits by private parties for damages and injunctive relief. Repeated unexcused
failure to comply with environmental standards may also constitute a default by
subsidiaries of the Energy Group.
The Environmental Regulatory Laws and federal and state governmental
regulations and policies governing their enforcement are subject to revision.
New technology may be required or stricter standards may be established for the
control of discharges of air or water pollutants or for solid waste or ash
handling and disposal. Thus as new technology is developed and proven, it may be
required to be incorporated into new facilities or major modifications to
existing facilities. This new technology may often be more expensive than that
used previously.
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required EPA to promulgate New
Source Performance Standards ("NSPS") and Emission Guidelines ("EG") applicable
to new and existing municipal waste combustion units for particulate matter
(total and fine), opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of
nitrogen, carbon monoxide, dioxins and dibenzofurans.
The NSPS and EG, which were issued in final form in 1995, will
require capital improvements or operating changes to most of the waste-to-energy
facilities operated by OWTE to control emissions of nitrogen oxides, organics,
mercury and acid gases. The timing and cost of the modifications required at
OWTE facilities will depend on the provisions of implementing regulations that
states must adopt and EPA approve. The deadline for states to submit their
implementing regulations was December 19, 1996. On December 6, 1996, however,
the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the NSPS and EG in its
decision in Davis County Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special
Services District v. USEPA. A petition for reconsideration is pending. If the
Court does not reverse its ruling, states may suspend or repeal their
regulations until EPA revises and reissues the NSPS and EG in accordance with
the Court of Appeals' direction. Many states' laws require this result in any
event to prevent having regulations more stringent than federal requirements. It
is uncertain how long EPA will take to reissue the NSPS and EG, but the agency
has announced its intention to minimize the delay in achieving the enhanced
emissions controls for large facilities that the NSPS and EG would have
provided. The Company believes that EPA will probably reissue the NSPS and EG
for all its other facilities in substantially identical form as those that were
vacated, and that OWTE projects may have until early in 2002 to achieve
compliance.
The costs to meet new rules for existing facilities owned by Client
Communities generally will be borne by the Client Communities. For projects
owned or leased by Ogden and operated under a Service Agreement, the Client
Community has the obligation to fund such capital improvements, to which Ogden
may be required to make an equity contribution, generally 20%. In certain cases,
Ogden is required to fund the full cost of these capital improvements at those
facilities that are either not operated pursuant to a Service Agreement or whose
Service Agreement
<PAGE>
28
does not require the costs to be borne by the Client Community. The Company
estimates that its commitments for these capital improvements will total
approximately $30 million over the four years following the reissuance of the
NSPS and EG by EPA. OWTE believes that most costs incurred to meet EG and
operating permit requirements at facilities it operates may be recovered from
Client Communities and other users of its facilities through increased service
fees permitted under applicable contracts. Such increased service fees will be
paid for either out of their general revenues or by increasing fees charged to
facility users by the Client Community. Because of the reluctance or inability
of some municipalities to increase taxes, or tipping fees if the market may not
bear the increase without some loss of waste deliveries, Client Communities may
seek to have OWTE subsidize the cost, or modify its contractual relationship.
Domestic drinking water facilities developed in the future by OYWC
will be subject to regulation of water quality by the EPA under the Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act and by similar state laws. Domestic wastewater facilities are
subject to regulation under the Federal Clean Water Act and by similar state
laws. These laws provide for the establishment of uniform minimum national water
quality standards, as well as governmental authority to specify the type of
treatment processes to be used for public drinking water. Under the Federal
Clean Water Act, OYWC may be required to obtain and comply with National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for discharges from its treatment
stations. Generally, under its current contracts, the client community is
responsible for fines and penalties resulting from the delivery to OYWC's
treatment facilities of water not meeting standards set forth in those
contracts.
The Environmental Remediation Laws prohibit disposal of hazardous
waste other than in small, household-generated quantities at OWTE's municipal
solid waste facilities. The Service Agreements recognize the potential for
improper deliveries of hazardous wastes and specify procedures for dealing with
hazardous waste that is delivered to a facility. Although certain Service
Agreements require the Operating Subsidiary to be responsible for some costs
related to hazardous waste deliveries, to date, no Operating Subsidiary has
incurred material hazardous waste disposal costs.
(b) International. Among the Energy Group's objectives is providing
energy generating and other infrastructure through environmentally protective
project designs, regardless of the location of a particular project. This
approach is consistent with the increasingly stringent environmental
requirements of multilateral financing institutions, such as the World Bank, and
also with the Energy Group's experience in domestic waste-to-energy projects,
where environmentally protective facility design and performance has been
required. The laws of other countries also may require regulation of emissions
into the environment, and provide governmental entities with the authority to
impose sanctions for violations, although these requirements are generally not
as rigorous as those applicable in the United States. Compliance with
environmental standards comparable to those of the United States may be
conditions to the provision of credit by multilateral banking agencies as well
as other lenders or credit providers. As with domestic project development,
there can be no assurance that all required permits will be issued, and the
process can often cause lengthy delays.

ENERGY AND WATER REGULATIONS
OWTE and OEI's domestic businesses are subject to the provisions of
federal, state and local energy laws applicable to their development, ownership
and operation of their domestic facilities, and to similar laws applicable to
their foreign operations. Federal laws and regulations govern transactions with
utilities, the types of fuel used and the power plant ownership. State
regulatory regimes govern rate approval and other terms under which utilities
purchase electricity from independent producers, except to the extent such
regulation is pre-empted by federal law.
Pursuant to Federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act
("PURPA"), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") has promulgated
regulations that exempt qualifying facilities (facilities meeting certain size,
fuel and ownership requirements) from compliance with certain provisions of the
Federal Power Act ("FPA"), the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
("PUHCA"), and, except under certain limited circumstances, state laws
regulating the rates charged by, or the financial and organizational activities
of, electric utilities. PURPA was enacted in 1978 to encourage the development
of cogeneration facilities and small facilities making use of non-fossil fuel
power sources, including waste-to-energy facilities. The exemptions afforded by
PURPA to qualifying facilities from the FPA and PUHCA and most aspects of state
electric utility regulation are of great importance to the Energy Group and its
competitors in the waste-to-energy and independent power industries.
State public utility commissions must approve the rates, and in some
instances other contract terms, by which public utilities purchase electric
power from the Group's projects. PURPA requires that electric utilities purchase
electric energy produced by qualifying facilities at negotiated rates or at a
price equal to the incremental or "avoided" cost that would have been incurred
by the utility if it were to generate the power itself or purchase it from
another source. PURPA does not require public utilities to enter into long-term
contracts.
In 1995, the FERC issued two orders in which it modified its
previous interpretation of PURPA and held that state laws and regulatory orders
directing utilities to purchase electricity from qualifying facilities at rates
in excess of the utility's projected avoided costs were pre-empted by PURPA and
that contracts providing for such above-avoided cost rates were void. The FERC
stated in both orders that it intends to apply its reinterpretation of PURPA
only on a prospective basis and that it generally will not entertain requests by
utilities to invalidate power sales agreements entered into pursuant to such
state laws and regulatory orders. The Energy Group does not believe any of the
power sales agreements related to its OWTE and OEI facilities is subject to
challenge based on the prospective nature of the orders. However, certain
utilities have challenged the legality of FERC's determination not to apply its
new policy on preemption to existing contracts. These appeals are currently
pending before the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Under PUHCA, any entity owning or controlling ten percent or more of
the voting securities of a "public utility company" or company which is a
"holding company" of a public utility company is subject to registration with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and regulation by the SEC
unless exempt from registration. Under PURPA, most
<PAGE>
30
projects that satisfy the definition of a "qualifying facility" are exempt from
regulation under PUHCA. Under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, projects that are
not qualifying facilities under PURPA but satisfy the definition of an "exempt
wholesale generator" ("EWG") are not public utility companies under PUHCA.
Finally, projects that satisfy the definition of "foreign utility companies" are
exempt from regulation under PUHCA. The Energy Group believes that all of its
projects involved in the generation, transmission and/or distribution of
electricity, both domestically and internationally, will qualify for an
exemption from PUHCA and that it will not be required to register with the SEC.
In the past there has been consideration in the U.S. Congress of
legislation to repeal PURPA entirely, or at least to repeal the obligation of
utilities to purchase power from Qfs. It is likely that similar legislation will
be introduced in the current Congress. There is strong support for
grandfathering existing QF contracts if such legislation is passed, and also
support for requiring utilities to conduct competitive bidding for new electric
generation if the PURPA purchase obligation is eliminated. Various bills have
also proposed repeal of PUHCA. Repeal of PUHCA would allow both independents and
vertically integrated utilities to acquire retail utilities in the United States
that are geographically widespread, as opposed to the current limitations of
PUHCA which require that retail electric systems be capable of physical
integration. Also, registered holding companies would be free to acquire
non-utility businesses, which they may not do now, with certain limited
exceptions. With the repeal of PURPA or PUHCA, competition for independent power
generators from vertically integrated utilities would likely increase.
In addition, the FERC, many state PUCs and Congress are currently
studying a number of proposals to restructure the electric utility industry in
the United States to permit utility customers to choose their utility supplier
in a competitive electric energy market. The FERC has issued a rulemaking
decision to require utilities to offer wholesale customers and suppliers open
access on their transmission lines on a comparable basis to the utilities' own
use of the line. All public utilities have already filed "open access" tariffs
to implement this requirement. The utilities contend that they should recover
from departing customers their fixed costs that will be "stranded" by the
ability of their wholesale customers (and perhaps eventually, their retail
customers) to choose new electric power suppliers. These include the costs
utilities are required to pay under many QF contracts which the utilities view
as excessive when compared with current market prices. Many utilities are
therefore seeking ways to lower these contract prices, or rescind or buy out
these contracts altogether, out of concern that their shareholders will be
required to bear all or part of such "stranded" costs. Regulatory agencies to
date have recognized the continuing validity of approved power purchase
agreements. Future U.S. electric rates may be deregulated in a restructured U.S.
electric utility industry and increased competition may result in lower rates
and less profit for U.S. electricity sellers developing new projects. Falling
electricity prices and uncertainty as to the future structure of the industry
can be expected to inhibit United States utilities from entering into long-term
power purchase contracts. On the other hand, deregulation could open up markets
for the sale of electricity previously available only to regulated utilities.
The effect of any such restructuring on the Energy Group cannot be predicted,
although Ogden does not believe that any such restructuring will have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.
<PAGE>
31
The Energy Group presently has, and intends to continue to acquire,
ownership and operating interests in projects outside the United States. Most
countries have expansive systems for the regulation of the power business. These
generally include provisions relating to ownership, licensing, rate setting and
financing of generating and transmission facilities.
OYWC's business may be subject to the provisions of state, local
and, in the case of foreign operations, national utility laws applicable to the
development, ownership and operation of water supply and wastewater facilities.
Whether such laws apply depends upon the local regulatory scheme as well as the
manner in which OYWC provides its services. Where such regulations apply, they
may relate to rates charged, services provided, accounting procedures,
acquisitions and other matters. In the United States, rate regulations have
typically been structured to provide a predetermined return on the regulated
entities investments. In other jurisdictions, the trend is towards periodic
price reviews comparing rates to anticipated capital and operating revenues. The
regulated entity benefits from efficiencies achieved during the period for which
the rate is set.
FLOW CONTROL
Many states provide for local and regional solid waste planning and
require that new solid waste facilities may be constructed only in conformity
with these plans. Certain of these laws, sometimes referred to as legal flow
control, authorize state agencies to require delivery of waste generated within
their jurisdiction to designated facilities. In 1994, the United States Supreme
Court held that such laws were constitutionally invalid. Federal legislation
proposed to authorize flow control has not been adopted to date.
The rates OWTE charges its Client Communities are generally
competitive with other disposal options. Some Client Communities have
experienced erosion of waste deliveries, but overall 1996 deliveries to OWTE
facilities exceeded 1995 levels. Under most Service Agreements, the Client
Community bears the economic impact of waste delivery shortfalls. Client
Communities are now evaluating options to attract additional waste to
facilities. Certain of these options have been tested in the federal courts and
sustained.
Although it is likely that the Supreme Court's decision has
adversely affected the market for new waste-to-energy facilities, other factors
are believed by Ogden to be more significant for low projected market activity.
See Other Information: MARKETS, COMPETITION, AND GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
ASH RESIDUE
In 1994, the United States Supreme Court held that municipal solid
waste ash residue demonstrated by testing to possess hazardous characteristics
is subject to RCRA's provisions for management as a hazardous waste relating to
transportation, disposal and treatment downstream of the point of generation.
The Supreme Court's ruling has not had a significant impact on OWTE's business.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
(a) Legal Proceedings
Ogden Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are parties
to various legal proceedings involving matters arising in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not believe that there are any pending legal
proceedings for damages against the Company the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
(b) Environmental Matters
The Company conducts regular inquiries of its subsidiaries regarding
litigation and environmental violations which include determining the nature,
amount and likelihood of liability for any such claims, potential claims or
threatened litigation.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may become
involved in Federal, state, and local proceedings relating to the laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment and the protection of
the environment. These include proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or
renewal of the licenses and permits pursuant to which a Company subsidiary
operates. Such proceedings also include actions brought by individuals or local
governmental authorities seeking to overrule governmental decisions on matters
relating to the subsidiaries' operations in which the subsidiary may be, but is
not necessarily, a party. Most proceedings brought against the Company by
governmental authorities or private parties under these laws relate to alleged
technical violations of regulations, licenses, or permits pursuant to which a
subsidiary operates. The Company believes that such proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company's operations are subject to various Federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean
Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Although the
Company operations are occasionally subject to proceedings and orders pertaining
to emissions into the environment and other environmental violations, the
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations.
In connection with certain previously divested operations, the
Company may be identified, along with other entities, as being among potentially
responsible parties responsible for contribution for costs associated with the
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous
waste disposal sites subject to CERCLA. In certain instances the Company may be
exposed to joint and several liability for remedial action or damages. The
Company's ultimate liability in connection with such environmental claims will
depend on many factors, including its volumetric share of waste, the total cost
of remediation, the financial viability of
<PAGE>
36
other companies that also sent waste to a given site and its contractual
arrangement with the purchaser of such operations.
The potential costs related to such matters and the possible impact
on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of government
laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and
effectiveness of cleanup technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other
types of recovery, and the questionable level of the Company's responsibility.
Although the ultimate outcome and expense of environmental remediation is
uncertain, the Company believes that currently required remediation and
continuing compliance with environmental laws will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Mr. Constantine G. Caras
P.O. Box 3999
Greenville, DE 19807
Dear Gus:
This letter sets forth the agreement and understanding between you and
Ogden Corporation or its successors ("Ogden") concerning the termination of your
employment and the termination of your Employment Agreement between you and
Ogden dated July 2, 1990, (the "Employment Agreement"). Therefore, you and
Ogden hereby agree as follows:
1) You are currently employed by Ogden in the capacity of Executive Vice
President and Chief Administrative Officer and serve on the Board of Directors
of Ogden and many of its subsidiaries.
2) Effective with the close of business on April 30, 1996 the Employment
Agreement and your employment by Ogden as Executive Vice President and Chief
Administrative Officer is terminated without cause (the "Termination Date").
3) As a consequence of the termination of your employment and your
Employment Agreement:
(a) Ogden will continue to pay you, or in the event of your death your
designated beneficiary, your current annual salary in the amount of $275,000
(less applicable withholding taxes) in the same manner as heretofore through
December 31, 1996; and
(b) Ogden will pay to you, or in the event of your death your
designated beneficiary, an annual severance payment in the amount of $390,000,
payable bi-weekly (less applicable withholding taxes) over a period of three (3)
years commencing January 1, 1997 and ending with the close of business on
December 31, 1999 (the "Severance Period").
5) On the Termination Date you will no longer be considered an employee of
Ogden and you will also no longer be eligible to participate in the Ogden Select
Plan, the Ogden Executive Pension Plan and the Ogden Profit Sharing and 401(K)
Plan. Any payments due to you under any of the foregoing plans will be
distributed to you in accordance with the terms and conditions of each of the
plans and you will be provided with all necessary information and
<PAGE>
forms on a timely basis by Ogden's Human Resources Department following the
Termination Date.
6) Following the Termination Date, coverage under the Ogden Core Medical
and Health Program shall continue in full force and effect for your life, the
life of your spouse and for your eligible dependents identical in scope and
terms as heretofore provided, subject to your continued bi-weekly contribution
of $18.20 which will be deducted by Ogden from the payments referred to in
Paragraph 3(b) above until the expiration of the Severance Period. Upon your
attainment of age 65 the Core Retiree Health Plan becomes coordinated with
Medicare, which becomes the primary insurer. Upon your death, the same coverage
for your spouse and eligible dependents will be continued under the Core Retiree
Health Plan. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Ogden from modifying or
discontinuing the Ogden Core Medical and Health Program on a consistent and
nondiscriminatory basis applicable to all participants, including all retired
participants.
Your life insurance coverage payable to your designee will be
continued until your death at an amount equal to two times your base salary and
bonus ($750,000), and the premiums will at all times be paid by Ogden. The value
of this coverage will be reported to you annually on the applicable Internal
Revenue Service form. All other health and accident related benefits discontinue
on the Termination Date.
7) Your Ogden Corporation stock options will be exercisable in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Option Plan
under which they were granted and in accordance with your stock option
agreement.
8) (a) On or before the Termination Date you shall have returned to Ogden
all property of Ogden in your possession, including but not limited to, all
office equipment, credit cards, keys, documents, etc. retaining to Ogden's
business.
(b) You currently operate and possess an Ogden leased 1995 Lincoln
Continental Sedan Automobile VIN 1LNLM97V1SY649992, which Ogden has agreed to
sell to you for a purchase price of $26,184.61, excluding all taxes and
registration fees which will be paid by you, payable in cash on or before April
30, 1996.
9) In consideration of the foregoing, (a) you, for yourself and your heirs
and legal representatives agree to release Ogden and its subsidiaries,
affiliates, officers, directors and employees (the "Ogden Group") from all
actions, causes of actions, suits, claims, damages and demands whatsoever, in
law or equity which against the Ogden Group you and your heirs and legal
representatives ever had, now have or hereafter may have for, upon

to the Termination Date, excluded claims arising under this letter agreement and
excluding claims based upon the Ogden Group's fraud, willful misconduct or
violation of law, and (b) the Ogden Group agrees to release you and your heirs
and legal representatives from all actions, causes of actions, suits, claims,
damages and demands whatsoever, in law or equity which against you and your
heirs and legal representatives the Ogden Group ever had, now have or hereafter
may have for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from
the beginning of time to the Termination Date, excluding claims arising under
this letter agreement and excluding claims based upon fraud, willful misconduct
or violation of law.
10) You will continue to be covered by any indemnity provisions contained
in Ogden's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws immediately prior
to the Termination Date for your acts or omissions during your employment with
Ogden.
11) You agree that you will refrain from the disparagement of Ogden, its
officers, directors and customers and Ogden agrees that Ogden nor any officer or
director of Ogden will disparage you. Each of us agree not to make or cause to
be made any public statement concerning the termination of your employment with
Ogden that would be inconsistent with the foregoing.
12) You agree that you will keep inviolate and confidential and will not
reveal to any competitor or other person, firm, corporation, association or
other entity or use to the detriment of Ogden any knowledge or information of a
confidential nature obtained by you in the course of your employment by Ogden
with respect to the conduct and details of the business of Ogden and its
subsidiaries.
13) This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding between you and Ogden with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes any and all prior understandings, written or oral, including the
Employment Agreement, in all respects. The terms of this letter agreement may
not be changed, modified or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed

elsewhere as directed by the Company, subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and he
shall not engage in any other business activity whether or not such business
activity is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage, but this
restriction shall not be construed to restrict the Employee (i) from performing
services as a member of the Board of Directors, Board of Trustees or the like of
any non-profit entity for which the Employee receives no compensation, provided
that, such services do not unreasonably interfere with the ability of the
Employee to perform the services and discharge the responsibilities required of
him under this Agreement, and (ii) from investing his assets in such form or
manner as will not require any services on the part of the Employee in the
operation of the business of the entity in which such investments are made. The

periods and during other reasonable temporary absences as authorized from time
to time by the Board of Directors or the President and Chief Executive Officer

agrees to pay and provide for the Employee the compensation and benefits
described below:
(a) An annual salary, payable in equal monthly or bi-weekly
installments, in the amount of Two Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars
($285,000) or in such greater amount as may from time to time be fixed, in its
sole discretion, by the Board of Directors of the Company.
<PAGE>
3
(b) An annual discretionary incentive bonus in such amount as may from
time to time be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) Other Benefits. It is intended that the Company shall continue to
provide the Employee with benefits at least as favorable as benefits provided on
behalf of other executives of the Company who furnish services of comparable
significance, as they may exist from time to time. Such benefits presently
include participation in (i) Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Executive Group
Life Insurance, Medical and Dental Insurance, Ogden Stock Option Plan, Executive
Pension Plan, Ogden Select Plan and Ogden 401(k) Plan, and (ii) an automobile
allowance in the amount of $700.00 per month. Provided, however, any such
participation shall be in accordance with the provisions of any such plans and
nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to affect
adversely any of the Employee's rights as a participant under any such plans.
However, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from modifying or
discontinuing any benefit or benefit plan on a consistent and non-discriminatory
basis applicable to all such executives.
5. Expenses.
The Employee shall be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred
from time to time on behalf of the Company in the performance of his duties
under this Agreement, upon the presentation of such supporting documents and
forms as the Company shall reasonably request.
6. Medical Leave, Reasonable Accommodation, Termination for Medical
Incapacity and Disability Benefits.
The Company agrees to provide the Employee with a medical leave of
absence not to exceed six (6) months in duration in any twelve (12) month period
if the Employee has a medical condition that precludes the Employee from being
fully functional in his or her position. The term "fully functional" means able
to travel to and from work, be at work, perform satisfactorily all essential
functions of the position as identified herein, and otherwise meet the demands
of the position and the conditions of employment without significant risk of
substantial harm to self or others. Any leave entitlement granted by Federal,
state or local law shall run concurrently with the commencement of this six
month period of leave, whether such leave is taken all at once, intermittently
or on a reduced time basis. Nothing herein is intended to diminish any
entitlement
<PAGE>
4
granted by law. If appropriate, the Company will support the Employee's
application for disability benefits.
If the Employee is not able to return to the position in a fully
functional capacity at the conclusion of six months of medical leave in a twelve
month period, this Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the
Company at its sole discretion, without prior notice.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Employees agrees that the
Employee will furnish for review by a medical professional designated by the
Company, copies of the Employee's medical records pertaining to any medical
condition for which the Employee requests a medical leave of more than twelve
(12) weeks in duration, return to work from any such leave, work restrictions,
modification or accommodation; or the Employee or the Company believes that the
Employee has a medical condition that may be causing or contributing to
performance or conduct deficiencies. The Employee also agrees to authorize any
health care professional from whom the Employee is receiving diagnostic
evaluation, treatment or other medical care to discuss the Employee's medical
condition with the medical professional designated by the Company to receive and
review the Employee's medical records. The Employee further agrees that he or
she will undergo, at the sole expense of the Company, any medical specialty
evaluation if requested to do so by the Company.
The Company agrees to provide the Employee with medically necessary
accommodation if it likely will enable the employee to be fully functional in
the position and is reasonable, feasible and will not impose undue hardship on
Company operations. The term "medically necessary" means that the accommodation
has risk-avoiding or therapeutic value in accordance with scientifically valid
medical principles and practice and that the Employee requires similar
accommodation when performing comparable non-work functions.
The inability of the Employee to be fully functional in his position
for medical reasons shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the
Employee. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company because the Employee is
not fully functional in his position for medical reasons, as provided for in
this paragraph, the Company shall be obligated to continue the salary of the
Employee as provided in Paragraph 4.(a) for a period equal to the greater of (a)
twelve (12) months, or (b) such longer period as may be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company, in each case, reduced
<PAGE>
5
by any disability insurance benefits provided for the benefit of the Employee at
the expense of the Company.
7. Death/Death Benefit.
In the event of the death of the Employee during the "term of this
Agreement", this Agreement shall terminate and the Employee's salary shall
continue to be paid to his designated beneficiary or, if none, to his personal
representative, through the last day of the month in which such death occurs.
8. Severance Payment
If this Agreement and the employment of the Employee is terminated at
any time (i) by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 9), or
(ii) by the Company for any reason other than for Cause (as hereinafter
defined), the Company will be obligated to pay to the Employee a lump-sum cash
payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) and (ii); where (i) shall equal
the sum of (A) the Employee's then existing annual salary and (B) the Employee's
then existing annual incentive bonus during the twelve (12) month period ending
with the close of the month in which such termination of employment occurs (the
"Date of Termination"), but not less than $60,000, which represents his 1996
incentive award, divided by twelve (12); and where (ii) shall be the lesser of,
(x) thirty-six (36), or (y) the number of months until the Employee's Retirement
(the "Severance Payment"). Termination of the Employee's employment on account
of his or her disability, death or retirement (as hereinafter defined) will not
be considered a termination of the Employee's employment by the Company and will
not require the Company to pay and provide any Severance Payment. No Severance
Payment will be required if the employment of the Employee is terminated by the
Company for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or by the Employee (other than for
Good Reason as defined in Paragraph 9). The Severance Payment provided herein is
provided in order to reinforce and encourage the continued loyalty, attention,
and dedication of the Employee to the Company's business and affairs without the
concerns which normally arise from the possibility of a loss of employment
security. As used herein, the terms "Retirement" and "Cause" shall have the
following meanings, respectively:
<PAGE>
6
(a) Retirement.
Termination of the Employee's employment on account of "Retirement"
shall mean termination on or after the Employee's normal retirement date in
accordance with the terms of the Ogden 401(k) Plan; and
(b) Cause
Termination by the Company of the Employee's employment for "Cause"
shall mean termination as a result of (i) the willful and continued failure by
the Employee to perform substantially the services contemplated by this
Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Employee by a member or representative of the
Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in
which it is alleged that the Employee has not substantially performed such
services, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Employee in gross misconduct which
is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; provided that, no act,
or failure to act, on the Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless
done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that
such action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Employee's employment may not be terminated for Cause unless and until there
shall have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the
Employee was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this
subparagraph (b) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
9. Termination by the Employee for Good Reason.
The termination by the Employee of this Agreement and his employment
for "Good Reason" shall be deemed justifiable termination of his employment and
shall excuse the Employee from the obligation to render services as provided in
Paragraph 2 hereof. Upon such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to a
Severance Payment in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8 hereof. As
used herein, the phrase "Good Reason" shall mean:
(a) a change in the Employee's status, title or position(s) as an
officer of the Company in the executive capacity set forth in this Agreement
which, in his or her reasonable
<PAGE>
7
judgment, does not represent a promotion from or enhancement of his status,
title and position, or the assignment by the Board of Directors of the Company
to the Employee of any duties or responsibilities which, in his reasonable
judgment, are inconsistent with such status, title or position, or any removal
of the Employee from or any failure to reappoint or reelect him to such
position, provided, however, none of the foregoing shall apply where there is
justifiable termination by the Company of this Agreement and the Employee's
employment for Cause or on account of disability. Retirement or death of the
Employee or the termination by the Employee of his employment other than for
Good Reason;
(b) a reduction in the Employee's annual salary or a failure by the
Company to pay to the Employee any installment of the annual salary required by
Paragraph 4, which failure continues for a period of twenty (20) days after
written notice thereof is given by the Employee to the Company;
(c) the failure by the Company, upon written notice from the Employee,
to obtain the assumption of this Agreement in form and substance to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Employee by any successor of the Company (other
than by merger or consolidation for which no separate assumption is necessary)
as referred to in Paragraph 12; or
(d) any refusal by the Company to allow the Employee to attend to
matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the
Company which is permitted by this Agreement.
10. Notice of Termination.
Any purported notice of termination of the Employee's employment shall
be communicated in writing and delivered to the other party as provided in
Paragraph 12. below (hereinafter a "Notice of Termination").
11. Confidentiality and Limited Covenant Not to Compete.
In connection with the performance of the Employee's duties hereunder,
the Employee will be in a position of trust and confidence, he will develop or
receive confidential, restricted or unpublished information involving trade
secrets, customer-related information, vendor-related information, copyrights,
lists, data and other information, strategic planning or operating data,
<PAGE>
8
computer programs, financial, pricing, operating or training data or other
confidential business techniques, processes, methods or information which is not
generally known to the public (collectively referred to as "proprietary
information"). He will receive or have access to "proprietary information" which
was obtained and developed through the investment of substantial amounts of
money, time and effort by the Company. He acknowledges and agrees that
disclosure of this proprietary information or its use for the benefit of any
other person or entity would be injurious to the Company. He also acknowledges
and agrees that unless he agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such
"proprietary information" and to limit its use solely to the Company, he would
not have been granted employment or, if already employed, his employment would
cease immediately. Regardless of the cessation of his employment for any reason,
the Employee's obligation to continue to maintain the confidentiality of the
"propriety information" shall continue for a period of one (1) year following
such cessation of employment.
The Employee agrees to deliver to the Company, at its request, or in
any event, upon cessation of Employee's employment with the Company (for
whatever reason and at whatever time) (a) all memoranda, notes, records, files
or other documentation, whether made or compiled by the Employee alone or in
conjunction with others (regardless of whether such persons are employed by the
Company); (b) all "proprietary information" and other information of the Company
which is in the Employee's control or possession; and (c) copies of such
information, as well as other corporate property. Regardless of cessation of the
Employee's employment by the Company, and without any fee, the Employee will
assist the Company in protecting all rights the Company may have to such
"proprietary information."
The Employee recognizes that, as a direct consequence of the
materials, information and training provided to him by the Company, the access
he is granted to "proprietary information" and the opportunities that he will
have while employed by the Company to cultivate the loyalty and goodwill of the
Company's customers, suppliers, vendors and other persons, it is important that
the Employee refrain from engaging in activities which could result in damage to
the Company's business.
The Employee further recognizes that the Company has invested
considerable time and money to train its employees in the services provided by
the Company and to develop the special
<PAGE>
9
skills required to perform such services. Therefore, the Employee will not,
during the term of his employment with the Company and for a period of one (1)
year immediately thereafter, solicit, entice, hire or otherwise seek to
persuade, either directly or through any other entity, any officer, employee,
consultant or agent of the Company or its subsidiaries, to discontinue such
relationship for any reason. During such period, the Employee will not solicit
business with any customers of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor will he seek
to entice or persuade any sources of referral, vendors or other entities, who
are then doing business with the Company or its subsidiaries to reduce,
discontinue or curtail any services provided to the Company or its subsidiaries
in any respect.
To avoid the use of "proprietary information", the Employee agrees to
refrain from engaging in competing employment either directly or indirectly on
his own behalf or as an agent, consultant or employee of any partnership,
corporation or other entity, in those areas of Latin America and the United
States where the Employee had been responsible for developing new business on
behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries for a period of one (1) year after
his employment ceases (regardless of the reason for cessation of such
employment).
The Employee recognizes and agrees that ascertaining damages in the
event of his breach or violation of any covenant or undertaking contained in
this Agreement would be difficult, if not impossible, and further recognizes
that the various rights and duties created in this Agreement are essential for
the operation of the Company's business. Consequently, irreparable injury would
result from any violation of this Agreement by the Employee. Since it would be
difficult, if not impossible, to compensate fully the Company by monetary
damages in the event of the Employee's breach (although the Company retains the
right to commence a civil action seeking monetary damages), the Employee agrees
that the Company, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right
it may have, shall have the immediate right to obtain a preliminary, and
subsequently, a final injunction against the Employee, to be issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction, enjoining the Employee from engaging in any breach or
violation of this Agreement. An injunction shall be issued without posting a
bond that otherwise might be required. If an injunction is issued or if monetary
damages are awarded against the Employee, he will reimburse the Company for the
legal fees and court costs incurred in obtaining such relief (including all
appeals and other proceedings).
<PAGE>
10
12. Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of:
(a) Any successors or assigns of the Company, whether by way of a
merger or consolidation, or liquidation of the Company, or by way of the Company
selling all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a successor
entity; and
(b) The Employee's estate, his executors, administrators, heirs and
beneficiaries.
13. Notices.
Any notice or other communication required under this Agreement shall
be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given and received when delivered in
person, or, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the
United States mail, first class, registered or certified, return receipt
requested, with proper postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been
received on the third business day thereafter, and shall be addressed as

If to the Employee, addressed to:

or such other address as to which any party hereto may have notified the other

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict or choice of
laws provisions to preserve the parties' intent, and the enforceability of this
Agreement.
<PAGE>
11
15. Entire Agreement.

between the Employee and the Company relating to the employment of the Employee
by the Company. No provision of the Agreement may be modified or amended except
by any instrument in writing by or for both parties hereto. All references to
paragraphs refer to paragraphs of this Agreement.
16. Waiver.
Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict compliance by the
other party with any term, covenant or condition hereof shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or
relinquishment or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or power
hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such
right or power at any other time or times.
17. Assignment by Employee.
The rights and benefits of the Employee under this Agreement are
personal and no such right or benefit shall be subject to voluntary or
involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer; provided, however, that nothing
in this Paragraph shall preclude the Employee from designating a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable on his death.
18. Severability.
If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement
not held so invalid, and all other provisions shall to the full extent
consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any such provision
shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the
remaining portion of such provision not held so invalid, and the remaining
portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement,
shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

severance payment equal to the product of (i) and (ii); where (i) shall equal
the sum of (A) the Employee's annual salary at the time of such termination, and
(b) the Employee's annual incentive bonus during the twelve (12) month period
ending with the close of the month in which such termination of employment
occurs (the "Date of Termination")
-7-
<PAGE>
but not less than the incentive bonus awarded to the Employee in December 1989,
which was Seventy Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($70,000), divided by twelve (12);
and where (ii) shall be thirty-six (36). Termination of the Employee's
employment on account of his disability, death or retirement (as hereinafter
defined) will not be considered a termination of the Employee's employment by
the Company and will not require the Company to pay and provide any Severance
Payment. No Severance payment will be required if the employment of the Employee
is terminated by the Company for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or by the
Employee (other than for Good Reason as defined in paragraph 10.) or if the
Employee gives notice to terminate in accordance with paragraph 1. The Severance
payment provided herein is provided in order to reinforce and encourage the
continued loyalty, attention, and dedication of the Employee to the Company's
business and affairs without the concerns which normally arise from the
possibility of a loss of employment security. As used herein, the terms
"Retirement" and "Cause11 shall have the following meanings, respectively:
(a) Retirement. Termination of the Employee's employment on
account of "Retirement" shall mean termination on or after the Employee's normal
retirement date in accordance with the terms of the Company's pension plan (or
any successor or substitute plan or plans of the Company or of any subsidiary of
the Company under which the Employee may be a participant); and
-8-
<PAGE>
(b) Cause. Termination by the Company of the Employee's
employment for "Cause" shall mean termination as a result of (i) the willful and
continued failure by the Employee to devote the time, attention and effort
necessary to perform substantially the services contemplated by this Agreement
in a manner consistent with the Employee's past performance (other than any such
failure resulting from the Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental
illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the
Employee by a member or representative of the Board of Directors of the Company
which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged that the
Employee has not substantially performed such services, or (ii) the willful
engaging by the Employee in gross misconduct which is materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company; provided that, no act, or failure to act,
on the Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to
be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission
was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. It is also
expressly understood that the Employee's attention to or engagement in matters
not directly related to the business of the Company shall not provide a basis
for termination for Cause if such attention or engagement is authorized by the
terms of this Agreement or has otherwise been approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding the
Employee's employment may
-9-
<PAGE>
not be terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
the Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board (after reasonable
notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together with his
counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion
of the Board the Employee was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (i) or
(ii) of this subparagraph (b) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 1 and 6, no purported termination by
the Company of the Employee's employment which is not justified as a termination
of the Employee's employment for Cause shall be effective.
10. Termination by the Employee for Good Reason. The termination by
the Employee of his employment for "Good Reason" shall be deemed a justifiable
termination of his employment and shall excuse the Employee from the obligation
to render services as provided in Paragraph 2 hereof. Upon such termination, the
Employee shall be entitled to the severance Payment in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 9. hereof. As used herein, the phrase "Good Reason"
shall mean:
(a) a change in the Employee's status, title or position(s) as an
officer of the Company in the executive capacity set forth in paragraph 1.
hereof, which in his reasonable judgment, does not represent a promotion from or
-10-
<PAGE>
enhancement of his status, title and position, or the assignment by the Board of
Directors of the Company to the Employee of any duties or responsibilities
which, in his reasonable judgment, are inconsistent with such status, title or
position, or any removal of the Employee from or any failure to reappoint or
reelect him to such position, except in connection with a justifiable
termination by the Company of the Employee's employment for Cause or on account
of disability, the Retirement or death of the Employee or the termination by the
Employee of his employment other than for Good Reason;
(b) a reduction in the Employee's annual salary or a failure by
the Company to pay to the Employee any installment of the annual salary required
by paragraph 4. hereof, which failure continues for a period of twenty (20) days
after written notice thereof is given by the Employee to the company;
(c) the Company's requiring the Employee to be based anywhere
other that the Fairfield, New Jersey area, except for required travel on the
business of the Company or the OPI Group to an extent substantially consistent
with the business travel obligations which the Employee has previously
undertaken on behalf of the Company or the OPI Group;
(d) the failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this
Agreement in form and substance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Employee
by any successor
-11-
<PAGE>
(other than by merger or consolidation for which no separate assumption is
necessary) as referred to in paragraph 17.; or
(e) any refusal by the company to allow the Employee to attend to
matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the
Company which is permitted by this Agreement or which, prior thereto, was
permitted by the Board of Directors of the Company.
11. Notice of Termination. Any purported notice of termination of the
Employee's employment (other than a Notice given by either party pursuant to
Paragraph 1. hereof) shall be communicated in writing and delivered to the other
party as provided in Paragraph 18. (hereinafter a "Notice of Termination"). For
purposes of this Agreement a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which
specifies the termination provision relied upon by the party giving such notice
and shall set forth in detail such facts and circumstances claimed by said party
to provide a justified basis for termination of the Employee's employment under
the provision(s) so indicated.
12. Trade Secrets. Etc. The Employee acknowledges that prior to his
employment by the company he had no knowledge of the formulae, processes or
methods of manufacture or other trade secrets of the company. Upon the
termination of his employment, the Employee agrees forthwith to deliver up to
the company notebooks and other data relating to research or
-12-
<PAGE>
experiments as conducted by him or relating to the products, formulae, processes
or methods of manufacture of the Company.
13. Customer List. The Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the
written list of the customers of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates,
as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset. The
Employee agrees that he will not during the term of his employment or within
five (5) years thereafter, use for his own personal benefit or disclose the
written list of the customers of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates or
any part thereof, to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity
for any reason or purpose whatsoever.
14. Limited Covenant Not to Compete. If the employment of the Employee
hereof is terminated (i) by the Employee pursuant to Paragraph 1. hereof or (ii)
by the Company for Cause (as defined in Paragraph 9. above), then in either case
(y) the Employee will not, for a period of two (2) years from such termination
of employment, within the territorial confines of the United States of America,
directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by,
participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management,
operation or control of any business in competition with the business conducted
by the Company at the time of such termination, and (z) the Employee will, for a
period of two (2) years from such termination refrain from carrying on a
business similar to that presently carried on by the Company within the
-13-
<PAGE>
states in which the business of the Company has been carried on, so long as the
company carries on like business therein.
15. Injunctive Relief. In the event of a breach or threatened breach
by the Employee of the provisions of Paragraphs 12., 13. or 14. during or after
the term of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining the Employee from violation of such paragraph. Nothing herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedy it may
have in the event of breach of this Agreement by the Employee.
16. Certain Proprietary Rights. Employee agrees to and hereby does
assign to the Company all his right, title and interest in and to all
inventions, whether or not patentable, which are made or conceived solely or
jointly by him:
(a) At any time during the term of his employment by the Company
in an executive, managerial, planning, technical research or engineering
capacity (including development, manufacturing, systems, applied science and
sales), or
(b) During the course of or in connection with his duties during
the term of this Agreement, or
(c) with the use of time or materials of the Company. The
Employee agrees to communicate to the Company or its representatives all facts
known to him concerning such inventions, to sign all rightful papers, make all
rightful oaths and generally to do everything possible to aid the Company in
obtaining and enforcing proper patent protection
-14-
<PAGE>
for all such inventions in all countries and in vesting title to such inventions
and patents in the Company. For the purpose of this Agreement, the subject
matter of any application for patent naming Employee as a sole or joint inventor
filed during the course of employment or within one year subsequent to the
termination thereof shall be deemed to be an invention made or conceived by him
during the course of his employment by the Company and assignable to the company
hereunder, unless the Employee establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
that such invention was made or conceived by him subsequent to termination of
his employment hereunder. At the company's request (during or after the term of
this Agreement) and expense, the Employee will promptly execute a specific
assignment of title to the company, and perform any other acts reasonably
necessary to implement the foregoing assignment.
17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of:
(a) The Company, and any successors or assigns of the Company,
whether by way of a merger or consolidation, or liquidation of the Company, or
by way of the company selling all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or a division thereof, to a successor entity; however, in the event of
the assignment by the Company of this Agreement, the Company shall nevertheless
remain liable and obligated to the Employee in accordance with the terms hereof;
and
-15-
<PAGE>
(b) The Employee, his estate, his executors, administrators,
heirs and beneficiaries.
18. Notice. Any notice or other communication required under this
Agreement shall be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given and received
when delivered in person, or, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been given when
deposited in the United states mail, first class, registered or certified,
return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to
have been received on the third business day thereafter, and shall be addressed
as follows:

or such other address as to which any party hereto may have notified the other
in writing.
19. Governing raw. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.
20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains or refers to the entire
arrangement or understanding between the Employee and the Company relating to
the employment of the
-16-
<PAGE>
Employee by the Company. No provision of the Agreement may be modified or
amended except by an instrument in writing by or for both parties hereto.
21. Waiver. Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict
compliance by the other party with any term, covenant or condition hereof shall
not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver
or relinquishment or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or
power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or power at any other time or times.
22. Assignment by Employee. The rights and benefits of the Employee
under this Agreement are personal to him and no such right or benefit shall be
subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer;
provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 22. shall preclude the
Employee from designating a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit
payable on his death.

CONFIDENTIAL AND
LEGALLY PRIVILEGED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 30th day of October 1996,
by and between OGDEN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation maintaining its
principal office at Two Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, New York (the "Company")
and Quintin G. Marshall, an individual now residing at 222 Guinea Road,
Stamford, CT 06903 (the "Employee").
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, the Employee is currently serving in an executive capacity as a
Vice President-Investor Relations of the Company and the Company desires to
ensure that the Employee will continue to be available to provide investor
relation services for the Company;
WHEREAS, to induce the Employee to provide such services, the Company is
offering to provide the Employee with the compensation, benefits and security
provided for in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment/Capacity/Term.
(a) The Company agrees to and does hereby employ the Employee, and the
Employee agrees to and hereby does enter into the employ of the Company upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such employment shall be in an
executive capacity as Vice President, Investor Relations of the Company.
(b) This Agreement and such employment shall commence on November 1,
1996 and shall continue through October 31, 1999 (the "Initial Term"), and from
year to year thereafter (the "Extended Term"), subject to the right of the
Employee or the Company to terminate this Agreement and such employment by
written notice stating an intention to terminate such employment at least thirty
(30) days prior to such termination date stating an intention to terminate such
employment (the "Termination Date"). Termination by either party, in accordance
with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not require a statement of
the reason or cause for such termination and shall not be deemed a breach or
violation of
<PAGE>
this Agreement by the party giving such notice. As used in this Agreement, the
phrase "term of this Agreement" shall be deemed to include the period subsequent
to the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date.
2. Time and Effort/Absences.
During the "term of this Agreement", the Employee shall devote his or
her entire time and attention during normal business hours to the business of
the Company subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company
and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and he or she
shall not engage in any other business activity whether or not such business
activity is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage, but this
restriction shall not be construed to restrict the Employee (i) from performing
services as a member of the Board of Directors, Board of Trustees or the like of
any non-profit entity for which the Employee receives no compensation, provided
that, such services do not unreasonably interfere with the ability of the
Employee to perform the services and discharge the responsibilities required of
him or her under this Agreement, and (ii) from investing his or her assets in
such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of the Employee
in the operation of the business of the entity in which such investments are
made. The Employee shall be excused from rendering his or her services during
reasonable vacation periods and during other reasonable temporary absences as
authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors or the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
3. Corporate Offices.
If elected, the Employee will serve, without additional compensation,
as an officer and director (or in either capacity) of the Company.
4. Salary/Bonus/Other Benefits.
In consideration of the services and duties to be rendered and
performed by the Employee during the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees
to pay and provide for the Employee the compensation and benefits described
below:
2
<PAGE>
(a) An annual salary, payable in equal monthly or bi-weekly
installments, in the amount of One Hundred Seventy Five Thousand
Dollars($175,000) or in such greater amount as may from time to time be fixed by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b) An annual incentive bonus in such amount as may from time to time
be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) Other Benefits. It is intended that the Company shall continue to
provide the Employee with benefits at least as favorable as benefits provided on
behalf of other executives of the Company who furnish services of comparable
significance, as they may exist from time to time. Such benefits presently
include (i) Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Executive Group Life Insurance,
Medical and Dental Insurance, Ogden Stock Option Plan, Executive Pension Plan,
Ogden Select Plan and Ogden 401(k) Plan and (ii) an automobile allowance in the
amount of $700 per month. Provided, however, any such participation shall be in
accordance with the provisions of such plans and nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to affect adversely any of the
Employee's rights as a participant under any such plans. Nothing herein shall
prevent the Company from modifying or discontinuing any benefit plan on a
consistent and non-discriminatory basis applicable to all such executives.
5. Expenses.
The Employee shall be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred
from time to time on behalf of the company or in the performance of his or her
duties under this Agreement, upon the presentation of such supporting documents
and forms as the Company shall reasonably request.
6. Medical Leave, Reasonable Accommodation, Termination for Medical
Incapacity and Disability Benefits.
The Company agrees to provide the Employee with a medical leave of
absence not to exceed six (6) months in duration in any twelve (12) month period
if the Employee has a medical condition that precludes the Employee from being
fully functional in his or her position. The term "fully functional" means able
to travel to and from work, be at work, perform satisfactorily all essential
3
<PAGE>
functions of the position as identified herein, and otherwise meet the demands
of the position and the conditions of employment without significant risk of
substantial harm to self or others. Any leave entitlement granted by Federal,
state or local law shall run concurrently with the commencement of his or her
six month period of leave, whether such leave is taken all at once,
intermittently or on a reduced time basis. Nothing herein is intended to
diminish any entitlement granted by law. If appropriate, the Company will
support the Employee's application for disability benefits.
If the Employee is not able to return to the position in a fully functional
capacity at the conclusion of six months of medical leave in a twelve month
period, this Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the
company at its sole discretion, without prior notice.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Employee agrees that the Employee
will furnish for review by a medical professional designated by the Company,
copies of the Employee's medical records pertaining to any medical condition for
which the Employee requests a medical leave of more than twelve (12) weeks in
duration, return to work from any such leave, work restrictions, modification or
accommodation; or the Employee or the Company believes that the Employee has a
medical condition that may be causing or contributing to performance or conduct
deficiencies. The Employee also agrees to authorize any health care professional
from whom the Employee is receiving diagnostic evaluation, treatment or other
medical care to discuss the Employee's medical condition with the medical
professional designated by the company to receive and review the Employee's
medical records. The Employee further agrees that he or she will undergo, at the
sole expense of the company, any medical specialty evaluation if requested to do
so by the Company.
The Company agrees to provide the Employee, if he or she is otherwise
qualified for the position, with medically necessary accommodation if it likely
will enable the employee to be fully functional in the position and is
reasonable, feasible and will not
4
<PAGE>
impose undue hardship on Company operations. The term "medically necessary"
means that the accommodation has risk-avoiding or therapeutic value in
accordance with scientifically valid medical principles and practice and that
the Employee requires similar accommodation when performing comparable non-work
functions.
The inability of the Employee to be fully functional in his or her position
for medical reasons shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the
Employee. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company because the Employee is
not fully functional in his or her position for medical reasons, as provided for
in this paragraph, the Company shall be obligated to continue the salary of the
Employee as provided in Paragraph 4(a) for a period equal to the greater of
(a) twelve (12) months, or (b) such longer period as may be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company, in each case, reduced by any disability
insurance benefits provided for the benefit of the Employee at the expense of
the Company.
7. Death/Death Benefit.
In the event of the death of the Employee during the term of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Employee's salary shall
continue to be paid to his or her designated beneficiary or, if none, to his or
her personal representative, through the last day of the month in which such
death occurs.
8. Severance Pay.
If the Company gives notice to terminate in accordance with Paragraph 1 or
if the employment of the Employee is terminated at any time (i) by the Employee
for Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 9), or (ii) by the Company for any
reason other than for Cause (as hereinafter defined), the Company will be
obligated to pay to the Employee a cash payment in an amount equal to the
product of (i) and (ii); where (i) shall equal the sum of (A) the Employee's
annual salary and (B) the Employee's annual incentive bonus during the twelve
(12) month period ending with the close of the month in which such termination
of employment occurs (the "Date of Termination"), but not less than $70,000,
which represents the 1996 target incentive, divided by twelve (12); and where
(ii) shall
5
<PAGE>
be the lesser of, (x) thirty-six (36), or (y) the number of months until the
Employee's normal retirement date (the "Severance Pay"). Termination of the
Employee's employment on account of his or her disability, death or retirement
(as hereinafter defined) will not be considered a termination of the Employee's
employment by the Company and will not require the Company to pay and provide
any Severance Pay. No Severance Pay will be required if the employment of the
Employee is terminated by the Company for Cause (as hereinafter defined) or by
the Employee (other than for Good Reason as defined in Paragraph 9) or if the
Employee gives notice to terminate in accordance with Paragraph 1. The Severance
Pay provided herein is provided in order to reinforce and encourage the
continued loyalty, attention, and dedication of the Employee to the Company's
business and affairs without the concerns which normally arise from the
possibility of a loss of employment security. As used herein, the terms
"Retirement" and "Cause" shall have the following meanings, respectively:
(a) Retirement.
Termination of the Employee's employment on account of "Retirement"
shall mean termination on or after the Employee's normal retirement date in
accordance with the terms of the Ogden 401(k) Plan; and
(b) Cause.
Termination by the Company of the Employee's employment for "Cause"
shall mean termination as a result of (i) the willful and continued failure by
the Employee to perform substantially the services contemplated by this
Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Employee by a member or representative of the
Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in
which it is alleged that the Employee has not substantially performed such
services, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Employee in gross misconduct which
is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; provided that, no act,
or failure to act, on the Employee's part shall be considered "willful"
6
<PAGE>
unless done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief
that such action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company. It is also expressly understood that the Employee's attention to or
engagement in matters not directly related to the business of the Company shall
not provide a basis for termination for Cause if such attention or engagement is
authorized by the terms of this Agreement or has otherwise been approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Employee's employment may not be terminated for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a
resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters
of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held
for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for
the Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding
that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Employee was guilty of the
conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (b) and specifying
the particulars thereof in detail. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 1
and 6, no purported termination by the Company of the Employee's employment
which is not justified as a termination of the Employee's employment for Cause
shall be effective.
9. Termination by the Employee for Good Reason.
The termination by the Employee of his employment for "Good Reason" shall
be deemed a justifiable termination of his employment and shall excuse the
Employee from the obligation to render services as provided in Paragraph 2
hereof. Upon such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to Severance Pay
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 8 hereof. As used herein, the
phrase "Good Reason" shall mean:
(a) a change in the Employee's status, title or position(s) as an
officer of the Company or the Ogden Group in the executive capacity set forth in
this Agreement which, in his or her reasonable judgment, does not represent a
promotion from or enhancement of his status, title and position, or the
assignment by
7
<PAGE>
the Board of Directors of the Company to the Employee of any duties or
responsibilities which, in his or her reasonable judgment, are inconsistent with
such status, title or position, or any removal of the Employee from or any
failure to reappoint or reelect him or her to such position, except in
connection with a justifiable termination by the Company of the Employee's
employment for Cause or on account of disability, the retirement or death of the
Employee or the termination by the Employee of his or her employment other than
for Good Reason;
(b) a reduction in the Employee's annual salary or a failure by the
Company to pay to the Employee any installment of the annual salary required by
Paragraph 4, which failure continues for a period of twenty (20) days after
written notice thereof is given by the Employee to the Company;
(c) the failure by the Company within ten (10) days of notice from the
Employee to obtain the assumption of this Agreement in form and substance to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Employee by any Successor (other than by merger
or consolidation for which no separate assumption is necessary) as referred to
in Paragraph 12; or
(d) any refusal by the Company to allow the Employee to attend to
matters or engage in activities not directly related to the business of the
Company which is permitted by this Agreement or which, prior thereto, was
permitted by the Board of Directors of the Company.
10. Notice of Termination.
Any purported notice of termination of the Employee's employment shall
be communicated in writing and delivered to the other party as provided in
Paragraph 12, below (hereinafter a "Notice of Termination").
11. Confidentiality and Limited Covenant Not to Compete.
In connection with the performance of the Employee's job duties in a
position of trust and confidence, he or she will develop or receive
confidential, restricted or unpublished information involving trade secrets,
customer-related information, vendor-related information, copyrights, lists,
data and other
8
<PAGE>
information, strategic planning or operating data, computer programs, financial,
pricing, operating or training data or other confidential business techniques,
processes, methods or information which is not generally known to the public
(collectively referred to as "proprietary information") . He or she will receive
or have access to proprietary information which was obtained and developed
through the investment of substantial amounts of money, time and effort by the
Company. He or she acknowledges and agrees that disclosure of his or her
proprietary information or its use for the benefit of any other person or entity
would be injurious to the Company. He or she also acknowledges and agrees that
unless he or she agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information and
to limit its use solely to the Company, he or she would not have been granted
employment, if already employed, his or her employment would cease immediately.
Regardless of the cessation of his or her employment for any reason, the
Employee's obligation to continue to maintain the confidentiality of the
propriety information shall continue.
The Employee agrees to deliver to the Company, at its request, or in any
event, upon cessation of Employee's employment with the Company (for whatever
reason and at whatever time) (a) all memoranda, notes, records, files or other
documentation, whether made or compiled by the Employee alone or in conjunction
with others (regardless of whether such persons are employed by the Company);
(b) all proprietary and other information of the Company which is in Employee's
control or possession; and (c) copies of such information, as well as other
corporate property. Regardless of cessation of Employee's employment by the
Company, and without any fee, the Employee will assist the Company in protecting
all rights the Company may have to such proprietary information.
The Employee recognizes that, as a direct consequence of the materials,
information and training provided to him or her by the Company, the access he or
she is granted to proprietary information and the opportunities that he or she
will have while employed by the Company to cultivate the loyalty and goodwill of
the Company's customers, suppliers, vendors and other persons, it is important
9
<PAGE>
that the Employee refrain from engaging in activities which could result in
damage to the Company's business.
The Employee further recognizes that the Company has invested considerable
time and money to train its employees, in the services provided by the Company
and to develop the special skills required to perform such services. Therefore,
he or she will not, during the term of his or her employment with the Company
and for a period of one (1) year immediately thereafter, solidity, entice, hire
or otherwise seek to persuade, either directly or through any other entity, any
officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company to discontinue such
relationship for any reason. During such period, the Employee will not solicit
business with any customers of the Company, nor will he or she seek to entice or
persuade any sources of referral, vendors or other entities, who are then doing
business with the Company to reduce, discontinue or curtail any services
provided to the Company in any respect.
To avoid the use of proprietary information, the Employee agrees to refrain
from engaging in competing employment either directly or indirectly on his or
her own behalf or as an agent, consultant or employee of any partnership,
corporation or other entity, in any state where the Company conducts business
for a period of six (6) months after his or her employment ceases (regardless of
the reason for cessation of such employment).
The Employee recognizes and agrees that ascertaining damages in the event
of his or her breach or violation of any covenant or undertaking contained in
this Agreement would be difficult, if not impossible, and further recognizes
that the various rights and duties created in this Agreement are essential for
the operation of the Company's business operations. Consequently, irreparable
injury would result from any violation of this Agreement by him or her. Since it
would be difficult, if not impossible, to compensate fully the Company by
monetary damages in the event of the Employee's breach (although the Company
retains the right to commence a civil action seeking monetary damages), the
Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to and without limiting any other
remedy or right it may have, shall have the immediate right
10
<PAGE>
to obtain a preliminary, and subsequently, a final injunction against the
Employee, to be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining the
Employee from engaging in any breach or violation of this Agreement. An
injunction shall be issued without posting a bond that otherwise might be
required. If an injunction is issued or if monetary damages are awarded against
the Employee, he or she will reimburse the Company for the legal fees and court
costs incurred in obtaining such relief (including all appeals and other
proceedings).
12. Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of:
(a) Any successors or assigns of the Company, whether by way of a
merger or consolidation, or liquidation of the Company, or by way of the Company
selling all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a successor
entity; and
(b) The Employee's estate, his or her executors, administrators, heirs
and beneficiaries.
13. Notices.
Any notice or other communication required under this Agreement shall
be in writing, shall be deemed to have been given and received when delivered in
person, or, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the
United States mail, first class, registered or certified, return receipt
requested, with proper postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been
received on the third business day thereafter, and shall be addressed as
follows:
If to the Company, addressed to:

If to the Employee, addressed to:
Quintin G. Marshall
222 Guinea Road
Stamford, CT 06903
or such other address as to which any party hereto may have notified the other

14. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict or choice of
laws provisions to preserve the parties' intent, and the enforceability of this
Agreement.
15. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement contains the entire arrangement or understanding
between the Employee and the Company relating to the employment of the Employee
by the Company. No provision of the Agreement may be modified or amended except
by any instrument in writing by or for both parties hereto. All references to
paragraphs refer to paragraphs of this Agreement.
16. Waiver.
Failure of either party hereto to insist upon strict compliance by the
other party with any term, covenant or condition hereof shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or
relinquishment or failure to insist upon strict compliance of any right or power
hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such
right or power at any other time or times.
17. Assignment by Employee.
The rights and benefits of the Employee under this Agreement are
personal to him or her and no such right or benefit shall be subject to
voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment or transfer; provided, however,
that nothing in this Paragraph shall preclude the Employee from designating a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable on his or her death.
18. Severability.
If for any reason any provision of this Agreement shall be held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other
12
<PAGE>
provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and all other provisions shall
to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any
such provision shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way
affect the remaining portion of such provision not held so invalid, and the
remaining portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of this
Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force
and effect.
19. Headings.
The headings of paragraphs are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Corporation's Financial Statements and notes thereto.
Operations: Revenues for 1996 were $153,900,000 lower than the comparable
period of 1995. Revenues in Facility Services declined $111,000,000, primarily
reflecting the sale of its operations outside of New York as of June 30, 1996;
Technology Services revenues declined $63,800,000, reflecting the disposition of
certain of those businesses sold in late 1995 and 1996, partially offset by
increased revenues of its remaining business, Atlantic Design Company (ADC), a
contract manufacturing operation; construction revenues declined $66,500,000,
primarily due to the completion of the Montgomery County (Maryland)
waste-to-energy facility in August 1995 and reduced construction at the Detroit
(Michigan) facility; Aviation Services revenues declined $37,300,000, chiefly
associated with reduced activity in the air range and pilot training systems
company, the sale of the ground handling service operations at John F. Kennedy
International Airport in 1996, and a Brazilian aviation unit disposed of in
1995; and Ogden Environmental revenues declined $24,200,000, primarily due to
the sale of its laboratory business in January 1996. These revenue decreases
were partially offset by increased revenues of $90,600,000 in Entertainment
Services, primarily reflecting new contracts, increased customer activity,
primarily at sports venues, the start-up of operations in Europe and Argentina,
and the acquisition of Florida Leisure, Inc., in 1996; increased Waste-to-Energy
Services revenues of $41,300,000, reflecting the full commercial operations of
the Onondaga County (New York) and Montgomery County facilities, which commenced
operations in March and August 1995, respectively, increased activity and
efficiency at other facilities, and the effect of certain legal settlements; and
a net gain of $13,200,000 from the disposition of certain businesses in 1996.
Consolidated operating income for 1996 was $118,200,000, as compared with
$49,369,000 in 1995. Operating income for 1995 was reduced by a net charge of
$69,300,000, which reflected the early adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"; restructuring
initiatives; and other unusual losses and costs that totaled $82,800,000, which
were reduced by a gain of $13,500,000 from the sale of a noncore business. In
addition, 1996 operating income reflects an increase of $21,500,000 in
Waste-to-Energy Services income (service revenues less operating costs and debt
service charges), chiefly associated with the effect of certain legal
settlements in 1995 and 1996 and restructuring costs incurred in 1995, partially
offset by a facility shutdown for major boiler repairs, decreased energy rates
at one facility, and reduced profitability at several facilities; an increase of
$19,000,000 in Entertainment Services income, primarily due to new contracts,
increased customer activity, a reduction in losses in European operations, the
start-up of operations in Argentina, and the acquisition of Florida Leisure,
Inc., in 1996; a net gain of $13,200,000 from the disposition of certain noncore
services businesses, namely the sale of Facility Services' operations outside of
New York and of a unit of the Technology Services group--Ogden Professional
Services--and the discontinuance of asbestos abatement operations; and reduced
costs of approximately $4,700,000, reflecting initial benefits derived from
restructuring initiatives commenced in 1995. Operating income for 1996 also
reflects a reduction of $26,900,000 in construction income, reflecting the
completion of the Montgomery County facility in August 1995 and reduced activity
at the Detroit facility; a reduction of $28,000,000 in operating income of
Technology Services associated with businesses that have been disposed of and
reduced margins, higher operating costs, adjustments to inventories, and
deferred charges at ADC and lower income in its overseas operations; and a
reduction of $3,500,000 in Independent Power Services income, primarily due to
increased development costs. Energy has three interest rate swap agreements
entered into as hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of
adjustable-rate project debt that resulted in additional debt service of
$700,000 in 1996 and lower debt service of $230,000 in 1995. The effect of these
swap agreements on the weighted-average interest rate of project debt was not
significant.
Interest income for 1996 was relatively comparable with 1995. Interest
expense for 1996 was $1,900,000 lower than 1995, chiefly associated with lower
borrowings, lower interest rates on variable-rate debt, and a reduction in
interest costs on two interest rate swap agreements covering notional amounts of
$100,000,000 and $6,300,000, respectively. The first swap agreement expires on
December 16, 1998, and was entered into in order to convert Ogden's fixed-rate
$100,000,000, 9.25% debentures into variable-rate debt. The second swap
agreement expires November 20, 2000, and was entered into in
16/OGDEN CORPORATION
<PAGE>
December 1995 in order to convert Ogden's $6,300,000 variable-rate debt to a
fixed rate. These agreements resulted in additional interest expense of $200,000
in 1996 and $600,000 in 1995. The effect of these swap agreements on the
weighted-average interest rate was not significant.
Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for 1996 was
$3,300,000 lower, primarily reflecting reduced earnings in Independent Power
joint ventures due to reduced prices.
The effective income tax rate for 1996 was 42.1%, compared with 84.5% in
1995. This decrease of 42.4% was primarily due to the effect of adopting SFAS
No. 121 in 1995, which included the write-down of goodwill, for which the
Corporation did not receive tax benefits, as well as higher foreign tax rates
and certain nondeductible foreign losses in 1995, which did not recur in 1996.
Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contains a more detailed
reconciliation of the variances from the Federal statutory income tax rate.
Revenues for 1995 were $80,400,000 higher than the comparable period of
1994, primarily due to increased revenues of $67,300,000 in Aviation Services,
reflecting the acquisition in 1995 of an air range and pilot training systems
company, four airline catering kitchens in the Canary and Balearic Islands, and
in late 1994, an airline cargo operation at Heathrow Airport in the United
Kingdom; $56,100,000 in Entertainment Services, chiefly associated with new
contracts at Wrigley Field, the Target Center, General Motors Place, and
amphitheaters, as well as the start-up of operations in the United Kingdom;
$39,100,000 in Technology Services due to increased customer activity and new
contracts in the ADC operations as well as the start-up of operations in
Ireland; $35,400,000 in Waste-to-Energy Services, primarily due to revenues
generated at the Lee County (Florida), Onondaga County, and Montgomery County
facilities, which commenced commercial operations in December 1994 and March and
August 1995, respectively; $31,100,000 in Independent Power Services, primarily
reflecting the acquisition of SIGC in December 1994; and $17,500,000 in Facility
Services, reflecting several new contracts and increased customer activity.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $143,200,000 in
construction revenues due primarily to the completion of the Union County (New
Jersey) and Lee County facilities in May and December 1994, respectively;
reduced construction activity at the Montgomery County facility; and a reduction
of $26,100,000 in revenues from the gain on the sale of limited partnership
interests and related tax benefits in 1994, which did not recur in 1995.
Consolidated operating income for 1995 was $92,400,000 lower than 1994,
primarily reflecting the effects of the early adoption of SFAS No. 121;
restructuring initiatives; and other unusual losses and costs totaling
$82,800,000, which were reduced by a gain of $13,500,000 from the sale of a
noncore business, for a net charge of $69,300,000. The charges principally
related to the early adoption of SFAS No. 121, amounting to $45,300,000,
included anticipated losses on the sale of noncore businesses of $32,800,000;
costs of restructuring initiatives of $8,200,000; and an impairment loss of
$12,200,000 for the write-down of certain deferred charges relating to a
previously awarded contract not expected to be completed, unusual
waste-to-energy repair costs, and an adjustment of inventory balances resulting
from a physical inventory. Also included in the second quarter of 1995 was a
charge of $17,100,000 relating to the write-off of accounts receivable of
$10,300,000, disposal of inventory of $3,900,000, and $2,900,000 of costs
related to curtailment of operations--all at Ogden Communications, Inc. Of the
net charge of $69,300,000, $36,900,000 was applicable to the Services segment
and $32,400,000 pertained to Energy. (Also see Notes 21 and 22 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.)
Before the charges discussed above, consolidated operating income for 1995
would have been $23,100,000 lower than 1994, primarily reflecting lower income
of $26,100,000 due to the gain on the sale of limited partnership interests in
and related tax benefits of the Onondaga County facility in 1994, which did not
recur in 1995; lower income of $10,500,000 in Entertainment Services, primarily
reflecting development costs in Europe, lower income from the Corel Centre, and
costs associated with the acquisition of Firehole Entertainment Corp.; lower
income of $6,800,000 at Ogden Environmental, primarily due to reduced activity
in the environmental laboratory area; and lower income of $3,200,000 in
Water/Wastewater Treatment Services, its first year of operations, primarily
reflecting continuing development costs. These decreases were partially offset
by increased income of $9,000,000 in construction activities, primarily
reflecting increased activity on the Detroit facility and an early completion
bonus on the Montgomery County facility; increased income of $5,600,000 in
Independent
OGDEN CORPORATION/17
<PAGE>
Power Services, primarily due to the acquisition of SIGC in 1994; and increased
income of $2,600,000 in Waste-to-Energy Services income (service revenues less
operating costs and debt service charges), primarily reflecting increased income
from the full commercial operations of the Lee County, Onondaga County, and
Montgomery County facilities, as well as enhanced performance at the Honolulu
(Hawaii) facility, offset in part by lower income at the Union County and
Hartford (Connecticut) facilities resulting from lower margins in 1995 than 1994
due to a contract renegotiation. Energy has three interest rate swap agreements
entered into as hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of
adjustable-rate project debt that resulted in lower debt service of $230,000 in
1995 and additional debt service of $1,400,000 in 1994. The effect of these swap
agreements on the weighted-average interest rate was not significant.
Interest income for 1995 was $2,400,000 higher than 1994, primarily
reflecting interest earned on loans made in the second half of 1994. Interest
expense was $6,800,000 higher, chiefly associated with higher interest rates on
variable-rate debt, higher borrowings, and a net increase of $1,412,000 in
interest costs on two interest rate swap agreements covering notional amounts of
$100,000,000 each. One swap agreement expired in March 1994. The other swap
agreement expires on December 16, 1998. These swap agreements were entered into
in order to convert Ogden's fixed-rate $100,000,000, 9.25% debentures into
variable-rate debt. During 1995, Ogden paid $603,000 on the remaining swap,
while in 1994, Ogden received $809,000 on the two swaps. The effect of these
swap agreements on the weighted-average interest rate was not significant.
The effective income tax rate for 1995 was 84.5%, compared with 44.4% for
1994. This increase of 40.1% was primarily due to the effect of adopting SFAS
No. 121 in 1995, which included the write-down of goodwill, for which the
Corporation will not receive tax benefits, as well as higher foreign tax rates
and certain nondeductible foreign losses. Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contains a more detailed reconciliation of the variances from the
Federal statutory income tax rate.
Capital Investments and Commitments: During 1996, capital investments
amounted to $64,191,000, of which $14,303,000, inclusive of restricted funds
transferred from funds held in trust, was for Energy (principally Independent
Power) facilities and $49,888,000 was for normal replacement and growth in
Services' and Energy's operations.
At December 31, 1996, capital commitments amounted to $121,900,000, which
included $44,500,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and growth in
Services' ($35,100,000) and Energy's ($9,400,000) operations. Also included was
$74,600,000 for a coal-fired power project in The Philippines reflecting
$55,200,000 for a mandatory equity contribution, $5,700,000 for contingent
equity contributions, and $13,700,000 for a standby letter of credit in support
of debt service reserve requirements. Funding for the mandatory equity
contribution has been provided by a credit facility, which must be repaid in
December 2001. The Corporation also has a $2,800,000 contingent equity
contribution in an entertainment joint venture. In addition, compliance with
standards and guidelines under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 may require
further capital expenditures of $30,000,000 during the next four years.
Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to
performance bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations undertaken
mainly pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain waste-to-energy,
entertainment, and other facilities. In the normal course of business, they also
are involved in legal proceedings in which damages and other remedies are
sought. Management does not expect that these contractual obligations, legal
proceedings, or any other contingent obligations incurred in the normal course
of business will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated
Financial Statements.
During 1994, a subsidiary of the Corporation entered into a 30-year
facility management contract, pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds to a
customer, if necessary, to assist refinancing senior secured debt incurred in
connection with construction of the facility. Such refinancing requirements are
currently scheduled to amount to $75,000,000 at the refinancing date, which is
January 1, 2001. It is expected that these arrangements will be renegotiated to
provide for an Ogden obligation to purchase such senior secured debt in the
amount of $95,000,000 at the end of March 2000 if the debt is not refinanced. In
addition, at December 31, 1996, the Corporation has guaranteed indebtedness of
$16,100,000 of an affiliate and principal tenant of this customer, which is due
in September 1997.
18/OGDEN CORPORATION
<PAGE>
Ogden continues as guarantor of surety bonds and letters of credit totaling
approximately $15,100,000 on behalf of International Terminal Operating Co. Inc.
and has guaranteed borrowings of certain customers amounting to approximately
$26,700,000 as well as $10,500,000 of borrowings of joint ventures in which
Ogden has an equity interest. Management does not expect that these arrangements
will have a material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Liquidity/Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities in 1996 was
$103,900,000 higher than 1995, primarily reflecting higher net income of
$57,100,000; a decrease of $98,500,000 in receivables chiefly associated with
the sale of certain businesses; a decrease in contract acquisition costs of
$13,700,000; and reduced Federal income tax payments of $12,100,000. These
increases in the net cash provided by operating activities were partially offset
by $45,300,000, being the write-down of long-lived assets in 1995, which did not
recur in 1996; an increase in inventories of $15,500,000; and $16,700,000 in
lower amortization of underwriters' discounts, lower restructuring costs, the
effect of certain legal settlements, and other noncash items included in income.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $64,600,000 higher, primarily
reflecting $72,900,000 of increased proceeds from the sale of certain
businesses; $28,600,000 in reduced investments in Energy facilities and other
capital expenditures; a decrease of $8,000,000, primarily reflecting reduced
equity investments and advances to investee affiliates; and the collection of
long-term receivables of $13,400,000. These increases in funds provided by
investing activities were partially offset by reduced proceeds of $58,200,000
from the sale of marketable securities.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $104,200,000, primarily
reflecting increased revolving credit debt repayments of $48,000,000; a
reduction of $34,400,000 in new borrowings; and a $5,600,000 decrease in
restricted funds used. The increases in borrowings for Energy facilities and the
payment of debt include the refinancing of project debt in 1996 in excess of the
amounts refinanced in 1995.
Exclusive of changes in Energy facility construction activities, the
Corporation's various types of contracts are not expected to have a material
effect on liquidity. Debt service associated with project debt, which is an
explicit component of a client community's obligation under its service
agreement, is paid as it is billed and collected. Cash required for investing
and financing activities is expected to be satisfied from operating activities;
available funds, including short-term investments; proceeds from the sale of
noncore businesses; and the Corporation's unused credit facilities to the extent
needed.
At December 31, 1996, the Corporation had $140,800,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and unused revolving credit lines of $217,350,000.
The Corporation adopted American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities," at
December 31, 1996. Management has concluded that it does not have any liability
or disclosure requirements as a result of adopting this Statement of Position.

<PAGE>
Ogden Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation, Combinations, etc.: The Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts of Ogden Corporation and its subsidiaries
(Ogden). Companies in which Ogden has equity investments of 50% or less are
accounted for using the "Equity Method," if appropriate. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
In 1996, in transactions accounted for as purchases, Ogden acquired
the shares of Florida Leisure, Inc., and Edison (Bataan) Cogeneration
Corporation (Bataan) for a total cost of $16,968,000. The operations of
these companies have been included in the accompanying financial statements
from the dates of acquisition. If Ogden had acquired these companies at
January 1, 1995, consolidated revenues, net income, and earnings per share
would have been $2,033,000,000, $60,565,000, and $1.22 for 1996 and
$2,210,000,000, $2,687,000, and $.05 for 1995.
In December 1995, Ogden issued 526,869 shares of common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Firehole Entertainment Corp.
(Firehole). This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The accompanying financial statements for 1994 have not been restated to
include the accounts of Firehole, since the amounts did not have a
significant effect on prior period reported results or balances.
In addition, in other transactions accounted for as purchases in 1995,
Ogden acquired the shares of Applied Data Technology, Inc., an air range
and pilot training systems company, and four airline catering kitchens in
the Canary and Balearic Islands for a total cost of $15,474,000. The
operations of these companies have been included in the accompanying
financial statements from dates of acquisition. If Ogden had acquired these
companies at January 1, 1994, total revenues, net income, and earnings per
share would have been $2,185,000,000, $7,346,000, and $.15 for 1995 and
$2,157,000,000, $65,255,000, and $1.49 for 1994, respectively. Ogden also
acquired a 50% interest in Metropolitan Entertainment Company, Inc.; a 50%
interest in IFC, an Australian entertainment company; as well as a 50%
interest in SFTA, a Turkish airport handling company.
On December 29, 1994, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase,
Ogden acquired the minority interest in Ogden Projects, Inc. (OPI), for .84
of an Ogden common share for each OPI share. Ogden issued 5,139,939 shares
of common stock valued at $18.375 per share for a total purchase price of
$94,446,000. The cost of other 1994 acquisitions was $32,404,000.
In connection with Ogden's restructuring plan, the environmental
business of Ogden Environmental and Energy Services (OEES) was transferred
to the Energy group, formerly Projects, as of January 1, 1996. In the first
quarter of 1996, the laboratory business of OEES and W.J. Schafer
Associates, a unit of Ogden Technology Services, were sold. The Ogden
Professional Services group, another unit of Ogden Technology Services, was
sold in April 1996. In June 1996, the Facility Services group's operations
outside of New York were sold, and the asbestos abatement operations were
discontinued.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include all cash
balances and highly liquid investments having original maturities of three
months or less.
Marketable Securities: Marketable securities are classified as available
for sale and recorded at current market value. Net unrealized losses on
marketable securities available for sale and noncurrent marketable equity
securities are charged to Shareholders' Equity (see Note 2).
Contracts and Revenue Recognition: Service revenues primarily include only
the fees for cost-plus contracts and the gross billings for fixed-fee and
other types of contracts. Both the service revenues and operating expenses
exclude reimbursed expenditures of $357,698,000, $450,696,000, and
$439,195,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively. Subsidiaries engaged in governmental contracting recognize
revenues from cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts on the basis of direct costs
incurred plus indirect expenses and the allocable portion of the fixed fee.
Revenues under time and material contracts are recorded at the contracted
rates as the labor hours and other direct costs are incurred. Revenues
under fixed-price contracts are recognized on the basis of the estimated
percentage of completion of services rendered. Service revenues also
include the fees earned under contracts to operate and maintain the
waste-to-energy facilities and to service the facilities' debt, with
additional fees earned based on excess tonnage processed and energy
generation. Long-term unbilled service receivables related to
waste-to-energy operations are discounted in recognizing the present value
for services performed currently. Such unbilled receivables amounted to
$123,420,000 and $108,953,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Subsidiaries engaged in long-term construction contracting record income on
the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and recognize income as
the work progresses. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized as soon
as they become known.
Inventories: Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials and
finished goods, are recorded principally at the lower of first-in,
first-out cost or market.
Property, Plant, and Equipment: Property, plant, and equipment is stated at
cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range generally from five years for machinery and equipment to 50 years for
waste-to-energy facilities. Accelerated depreciation is generally used for
Federal income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the
straight-line method over the terms of the leases or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements as appropriate. Landfills are amortized based on
the quantities deposited into each landfill compared to the total estimated
capacity of such landfill. Property, plant, and equipment is periodically
reviewed to determine recoverability by comparing the carrying value to
expected future cash flows.
Contract Acquisition Costs: Costs associated with the acquisition of
specific contracts are amortized over their respective contract terms.
OGDEN CORPORATION/25
<PAGE>
Bond Issuance Costs: Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of
revenue bonds are amortized over the terms of the respective debt issues.
Deferred Charges on Projects: Costs incurred in connection with certain
project development efforts are deferred until the award of the related
project is determined. Costs on awarded projects are deferred until the
commencement of construction, at which time they are either capitalized in
property, plant, and equipment for privately owned facilities or charged to
construction costs for municipally owned facilities. Costs associated with
projects that are no longer under consideration are charged to operating
costs.
Restricted Funds: Restricted funds represent proceeds from the financing of
waste-to-energy facilities and the operations of a waste-to-energy facility
and a power plant. Funds are held in trust and released as expenditures are
made or upon satisfaction of conditions provided under the respective trust
agreements.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements: Amounts received or paid relating to swap
agreements during the year are credited or charged to interest expense.
Goodwill: Goodwill acquired subsequent to 1970 is being amortized by the
straight-line method over periods ranging from 15 to 40 years. Goodwill
acquired prior to 1970 is not being amortized.
Retirement Plans: The Corporation and certain subsidiaries have several
retirement plans covering substantially all of their employees. Certain
subsidiaries also contribute to multiemployer plans for unionized hourly
employees that cover, among other benefits, pensions and postemployment
health care.
Ogden adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," as of January 1, 1994.
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 112 is shown as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle and is reflected as a charge to income of
$1,520,000 in 1994.
Income Taxes: Ogden files a consolidated Federal income tax return, which
includes all eligible United States subsidiary companies. Foreign
subsidiaries are taxed according to regulations existing in the countries
in which they do business. Provision has not been made for United States
income taxes on distributions, which may be received from foreign
subsidiaries, that would be substantially offset by foreign tax credits.
Investment credits are accounted for by the "flow-through" method, and
provisions for income taxes have been reduced by the amount of investment
credits earned.
Long-Lived Assets: Ogden adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of," in the fourth quarter of 1995. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121
resulted in an after-tax charge of $34,700,000 in 1995 (see Note 21). When
indications of impairment are present, the Corporation evaluates the
carrying value of its long-lived assets in relation to the operating
performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
businesses. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if any, are evaluated in
relation to the net realizable value.
Reclassification: The accompanying financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.
2. Investments in Marketable Securities Available for Sale

28/OGDEN CORPORATION
<PAGE>
The adjustable-rate revenue bonds are adjusted periodically to reflect
current market rates for similar issues, generally with an upside cap of
15%. The average rate for this debt was 3.49% and 3.90% in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These bonds were issued under agreements that contain various
restrictions, the most significant being the requirements to comply with
certain financial ratios and to maintain Shareholders' Equity of at least
$400,000,000. At December 31, 1996, Ogden was in compliance with all
requirements and had $150,925,000 in excess of the required amount of
Shareholders' Equity.
At December 31, 1996, Ogden had two long-term interest rate swap
agreements covering notional amounts of $100,000,000 and $6,300,000,
respectively, which expire December 16, 1998, and November 30, 2000,
respectively. These swaps were entered into to convert Ogden's fixed-rate
$100,000,000, 9.25% debentures due in 2022 to variable-rate debt and
Ogden's $6,300,000 variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. On the $100,000,000
swap, Ogden receives a fixed rate of 5.52% per annum paid on a semi-annual
basis and pays a floating rate of three months LIBOR set in arrears on a
quarterly basis. On the $6,300,000 swap, Ogden pays a fixed rate of 5.83%
paid on a quarterly basis and receives a floating rate of three months
LIBOR on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 1996, the three-month LIBOR
rate was 5.56%. The counterparties to these interest rate swaps are major
financial institutions. Management believes its credit risk associated with
nonperformance by the counterparties is not significant. Amounts (received)
or paid on swap agreements amounted to $200,000, $600,000, and $(809,000)
for 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, and were (credited) or charged to
interest expense. The effect on Ogden's weighted-average borrowing rate for
1996, 1995, and 1994 was an increase (decrease) of .04%, .14%, and (.20)%,
respectively.
Other long-term debt includes an obligation for approximately
$28,400,000, representing the equity component of a sale and leaseback
arrangement relating to a waste-to-energy facility. This arrangement is
accounted for as a financing, has an effective interest rate of 5%, and
extends through 2017. Additionally, other long-term debt includes
$22,450,000 resulting from the sale of limited partnership interests in and
related tax benefits of the Onondaga County, New York, waste-to-energy
facility, which has been accounted for as a financing for accounting
purposes. This obligation has an effective interest rate of 10% and extends
through 2015. The remaining other debt of $33,772,000 consists primarily of
debt associated with entertainment facilities in the United Kingdom and
Argentina, debt acquired in the Firehole acquisition, and debt associated
with an investment in a coal-fired power project in The Philippines. These
loans bear various interest rates and maturity dates.
The maturities on long-term debt (expressed in thousands of dollars)
at December 31, 1996, were as follows:
1997.................................................... $ 3,560

</TABLE>
Project debt associated with the financing of waste-to-energy facilities is
generally arranged by municipalities through the issuance of tax-exempt and
taxable revenue bonds. The category, "Revenue Bonds Issued by and Prime
Responsibility of Municipalities," includes bonds issued with respect to
which debt service is an explicit component of the client community's
obligation under the related service agreement. In the event that a
municipality is unable to satisfy its payment obligations, the bondholders'
recourse with respect to the Corporation is limited to the waste-to-energy
facilities and restricted funds pledged to secure such obligations. The
category,
OGDEN CORPORATION/29
<PAGE>
"Revenue Bonds Issued by Municipal Agencies with Sufficient Service
Revenues Guaranteed by Third Parties," includes bonds issued to finance
three facilities for which contractual obligations of third parties to
deliver waste ensure sufficient revenues to pay debt service, although such
debt service is not an explicit component of the third parties' service fee
obligations.
Payment obligations for the project debt associated with
waste-to-energy facilities are nonrecourse to the Corporation subject to
construction and operating performance guarantees and commitments. These
obligations are secured by the revenues pledged under various indentures
and are collateralized principally by a mortgage lien and a security
interest in each of the respective waste-to-energy facilities and related
assets. At December 31, 1996, such revenue bonds were collateralized by
property, plant, and equipment with a net carrying value of $1,509,110,000,
credit enhancements of approximately $170,000,000 for which Ogden has
certain reimbursement obligations, and substantially all restricted funds
(see Note 4).
The interest rates on adjustable-rate revenue bonds are adjusted
periodically to reflect current market rates for similar issues, generally
with an upside cap of 15%. The average rate for such revenue bonds was 4.6%
and 5.28% in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Other project debt includes an obligation of a special-purpose limited
partnership acquired by two special-purpose subsidiaries of Ogden in
December 1994 and represents the lease of a geothermal power plant, which
has been accounted for as a financing. This obligation, which amounted to
$86,709,000 at December 31, 1996, has an effective interest rate of 5.3%
and extends through 2008 with options to renew for additional periods and
has a fair market value purchase option at the conclusion of the initial
term. Payment obligations under this lease arrangement are limited to
assets of the limited partnership and revenues derived from a power
purchase agreement with a third party, which are expected to provide
sufficient revenues to make rental payments. Such payment obligations are
secured by all the assets, revenues, and other benefits derived from the
geothermal power plant, which had a net carrying value of approximately
$106,811,000 at December 31, 1996. In September 1995, the Corporation
borrowed $20,984,000 from a financial institution as part of the
refinancing of project debt in the category "Revenue Bonds Issued by and
Prime Responsibility of Municipalities." The debt service associated with
this loan is included as an explicit component of the client community's
obligation under the related service agreement. A portion of the funds was
retained in the Corporation's restricted funds and is loaned to the
community each month to cover the community's monthly service fees. The
Corporation's repayment for the other part of the loan is limited to the
extent repayment is received from the client community. This overall
obligation totaled $18,839,000 at December 31, 1996, has an effective
interest rate of 7.05%, and extends through 2005. In addition, other
project debt includes $14,300,000 assumed in August 1996 as part of the
acquisition of Bataan. The debt is due to financial institutions and bears
interest at an adjustable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus
3.5% (9.2% at December 31, 1996). The debt extends through 2001 and is
secured by all the assets of Bataan, which had a net carrying value of
approximately $32,761,000 at December 31, 1996.
At December 31, 1996, Ogden had three interest rate swap agreements as
hedges against interest rate exposure on certain adjustable-rate revenue
bonds. The first two interest rate swap agreements expire in May 1999 and
the third swap expires in 2019 and had notional amounts at December 31,
1996, of $91,070,000, $33,485,000, and $80,220,000, respectively, which are
reduced in accordance with the scheduled repayments of the revenue bonds.
Under the first swap agreement, Ogden pays a fixed rate of 3.95% per annum
on a semi-annual basis and receives a floating rate based on an index of
tax-exempt, variable-rate obligations. Under the second swap agreement,
Ogden pays a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum on a semi-annual basis and
receives a floating rate based on a defined commercial paper rate. Under
the third swap agreement, Ogden pays a fixed rate of 6.07% per annum on a
semi-annual basis through 1998 and thereafter a fixed rate of 5.18% per
annum and receives a floating rate based on a defined LIBOR-based rate. At
December 31, 1996, the floating rates on the three swaps were 3.66%, 5.72%,
and 5.6%, respectively. These swap agreements were entered into to convert
from floating rates to fixed interest rates $91,070,000 of tax-exempt,
adjustable-rate revenue bonds and $113,705,000 of taxable, adjustable-rate
revenue bonds. The counterparties to these interest rate swaps are major
financial institutions. Management believes the credit risk associated with
nonperformance by the counterparties is not significant.
Amounts (received) or paid on these swap agreements amounted to
$700,000, $(230,000), and $1,400,000 for 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively, and were charged or (credited) to debt service charges. The
effect on Ogden's weighted-average borrowing rate was an increase
(decrease) of .04%, (.01)%, and .09% for 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively.
The maturities on long-term project debt (expressed in thousands of

11. Credit Arrangements
At December 31, 1996, Ogden had unused revolving credit lines amounting to
$217,350,000, of which $200,000,000 is available under its principal
revolving credit line at various borrowing rates including prime, the
Eurodollar rate plus .30%, or certificate-of-deposit rates plus .425%.
Ogden is not required to maintain compensating balances; however, Ogden
pays a facility fee of 3/16 of 1% on its principal revolving credit line of
$200,000,000, which expires October 29, 1998.
12. Convertible Subordinated Debentures
Convertible subordinated debentures (expressed in thousands of dollars)
consisted of the following:

-------- --------
Total ........................................ $148,650 $148,650
======== ========
The 6% convertible subordinated debentures are convertible into Ogden
common stock at the rate of one share for each $39.077 principal amount of
debentures. The debentures are redeemable at Ogden's option at 101.8% of
principal amount during the year commencing June 1, 1996, and at decreasing
prices thereafter. The 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures are
convertible into Ogden common stock at the rate of one share for each
$41.772 principal amount of debentures. The debentures are redeemable at
Ogden's option at 100% of face value.
13. Preferred Stock
The outstanding Series A $1.875 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible at any time at the rate of 5.97626 common shares for each
preferred share. Ogden may redeem the outstanding shares of preferred stock
at $50 per share, plus all accrued dividends. These preferred shares are
entitled to receive cumulative annual dividends at the rate of $1.875 per
share, plus an amount equal to 150% of the amount, if any, by which the
dividend paid or any cash distribution made on the common stock in the
preceding calendar quarter exceeded $.667 per share.
14. Common Stock and Stock Options
In 1986, Ogden adopted a nonqualified stock option plan (the "1986 Plan").
Under this plan, options and/or stock appreciation rights were granted to
key management employees to purchase Ogden common stock at prices not less
than the fair market value at the time of grant, which became exercisable
during a five-year period from the date of grant. Options were exercisable
for a period of ten years after the date of grant. As adopted and as
adjusted for stock splits, the 1986 Plan called for up to an aggregate of
2,700,000 shares of Ogden common stock to be available for issuance upon
the exercise of options and stock appreciation rights, which were granted
over a 10-year period ending March 10, 1996. At December 31, 1996, all of
the authorized shares of this plan had been granted.
In October 1990, Ogden adopted a nonqualified stock option plan (the
"1990 Plan"). Under this plan, nonqualified options, incentive stock
options, and/or stock appreciation rights and stock bonuses may be granted
to key management employees and outside directors to purchase Ogden common
stock at an exercise price to be determined by the Ogden Compensation
Committee, which become exercisable during the five-year period from the
date of grant. These options are exercisable for a period of ten years
after the date of grant. Pursuant to the 1990 Plan, which was amended in
1994 to increase the number of shares available by 3,200,000 shares, an
aggregate of 6,200,000 shares of Ogden common stock became available for
issuance upon the exercise of such options, rights, and bonuses, which may
be granted over a 10-year period ending October 11, 2000; 2,053,000 shares
were available for grant at December 31, 1996.
Under the foregoing plans, Ogden issued 4,442,500 limited stock
appreciation rights in conjunction with the stock options granted. These
limited rights are exercisable only during the period commencing on the
first day following the occurrence of any of the following events and
terminate 90 days after such date: the acquisition by any person of 20% or
more of the voting power of Ogden's outstanding securities; the approval by
Ogden shareholders of an agreement to merge or to sell substantially all of
its assets; or the occurrence of certain changes in the membership of the
Ogden Board of Directors. The exercise of these limited rights entitles
participants to receive an amount in cash with respect to each share
subject thereto, equal to the excess of the market value of a share of
Ogden common stock on the exercise date or the date these limited rights
became exercisable, over the related option price.
In connection with the acquisition of the minority interest of OPI,
Ogden assumed the pre-existing OPI stock option plan then outstanding and
converted these options into options to acquire shares of Ogden common
stock. No further options will be granted under this plan.

The Corporation has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for these stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the options granted in 1996 and 1995 under these
plans been determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, using
the binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions --dividend
yield of 5.7% and 6.2%, volatility of 22.74% and 24.77%, risk-free interest
rate of 5.42% and 7.72%, and an expected life of 7.5 years--the effect on
net income and earnings per share for 1996 and 1995 would not have been
significant.

15. Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
In 1990, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock
purchase right (Right) on each outstanding share of common stock. Among
other provisions, each Right may be exercised to purchase a one
one-hundredth share of a new series of cumulative participating preferred
stock at an exercise price of $80, subject to adjustment. The Rights may
only be exercised after a party has acquired 15% or more of the
Corporation's common stock or commenced a tender offer to acquire 15% or
more of the Corporation's common stock. The Rights do not have voting
rights, expire October 2, 2000, and may be redeemed by the Corporation at a
price of $.01 per Right at any time prior to the acquisition of 15% of the
Corporation's common stock.
In the event a party acquires 15% or more of the Corporation's
outstanding common stock in accordance with certain defined terms, each
Right will then entitle its holders (other than such party) to purchase, at
the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of the Corporation's
common shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. At
December 31, 1996, 49,744,527 Rights were outstanding.
16. Sale of Businesses and Limited Partnership Interests
Revenues for 1996 include a net gain of $13,163,000 relating to the sale of
certain noncore businesses. In 1994, revenues include $26,100,000 from the
sale of limited partnership interests in and related tax benefits of the
Onondaga County waste-to-energy facility, which was partially offset by the
recapture of investment tax credits and minority interests.
17. Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange translation adjustments for 1996, 1995, and 1994,
amounting to $(3,111,000), $(1,258,000), and $3,240,000, respectively, have
been credited (charged) directly to Shareholders' Equity. Foreign exchange
transaction adjustments, amounting to $(215,000), $1,590,000, and
$(1,844,000), have been credited (charged) directly to income for 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively.
18. Debt Service Charges
Debt service charges for Ogden's project debt (expressed in thousands of

19. Retirement Plans
Ogden has retirement plans that cover substantially all of its employees. A
substantial portion of hourly employees of Ogden Services Corporation
participates in defined contribution plans. Other employees participate in
defined benefit or defined contribution plans.
The defined benefit plans provide benefits based on years of service
and either employee compensation or a flat benefit amount. Ogden's funding
policy for those plans is to contribute annually an amount no less than the
minimum funding required by ERISA. Contributions are intended to provide
not only benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected
to be earned in the future.
OGDEN CORPORATION/33

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the accumulated benefit obligation of
certain pension plans exceeded plan assets. The Corporation's liability for
those plans was increased by $1,463,000 and $2,033,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Such amounts were offset by intangible assets and
reductions in Shareholders' Equity, net of income taxes of $565,000 and
$760,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, the Corporation has designated $11,000,000 of
its marketable securities (Note 2) as pertaining to a nonqualified pension
plan that is underfunded by $7,000,000, which underfunding is reflected
above under plans in which accumulated benefits exceeded assets.
Pension costs for Ogden's defined plans included the following
components (expressed in thousands of dollars):
<TABLE>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>

------- ------- -------
Net periodic pension cost .................................... $ 3,561 $ 3,118 $ 3,204
======= ======= =======
</TABLE>
The weighted-average discount rate and rate of increase in future
compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligations were 7 1/2% and 4 1/2% for 1996 and 1995 and
8 1/4% and 5% for 1994, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return
on plan assets was 8% for each year.
Contributions and costs for defined contribution plans are determined
by benefit formulas based on percentage of compensation as well as
discretionary contributions and totaled $7,954,000, $10,358,000, and
$12,052,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Plan assets at December
31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, primarily consisted of common stocks, United
States government securities, and guaranteed insurance contracts.
With respect to union employees, the Corporation is required under
contracts with various unions to pay, generally based on hours worked,
retirement, health, and welfare benefits. These multiemployer defined
benefit and defined contribution plans are not controlled or administered
by the Corporation. The amount charged to expense for such plans during
1996, 1995, and 1994 was $26,600,000, $27,900,000, and $30,100,000,
respectively.
20. Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
In 1992, the Corporation discontinued its policy of providing
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for all salaried
employees, except those employees who were retired or eligible for
retirement at December 31, 1992, or who were covered under certain
company-sponsored union plans. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," as
of January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 106 requires the accrual method of accounting
for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits, based on
actuarial determined costs to be recognized over the period from the date
of hire to the full eligibility date of employees who are expected to
qualify for such benefits.

funded, were as follows:

=========== =========== ===========
</TABLE>
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using a
discount rate of 7 1/2% for 1996 and 1995 and 8 1/4% for 1994; an estimated
increase in compensation levels of 4 1/2% for 1996 and 1995 and 5% for
1994; and a health care cost rate of approximately 14 1/2%, decreasing in
subsequent years until it reaches 6% in the year 2008 and thereafter. The
effect of a one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost
trend rates for each future year on the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components of net periodic postretirement health care benefit
cost and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for health care
benefits would be $78,623 and $734,319, respectively.
21. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Ogden adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of," in the fourth quarter of 1995. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity,
including any goodwill related to these assets, be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of such assets may not be recoverable. In performing this review for
recoverability, the Corporation estimated future cash flows expected from
the use of such assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of
expected future cash flows (undiscounted) was less than the carrying value
of the assets, an impairment loss was recognized. The Statement also
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less
the costs to sell.
The effect of recognizing SFAS No. 121 resulted in a pretax charge of
$45,300,000 and an after-tax charge of $34,700,000, or $.70 per share. This
charge included estimated losses on the disposal of noncore businesses, as
announced in the fourth quarter of 1995, of $32,800,000 and the write-down
of other long-lived assets of $12,500,000. The loss of $32,800,000 on the
assets to be disposed of was based on the Corporation's estimate of
realizable or liquidation values of the operations and bids received from
prospective purchasers. The impairment loss of $12,500,000 on other
long-lived assets represents the difference between the carrying amount of
the assets and their estimated fair values, which was determined based on
operating projections and future discounted cash flows. The remaining
carrying value of these assets is not significant. These amounts were
charged to cost of goods sold ($4,500,000) and operating expenses
($40,800,000) in the accompanying 1995 financial statements.
22. Other Charges--1995
During 1995, the Corporation recognized unusual charges of $37,500,000,
which were reduced by a $13,500,000 gain on the sale of a noncore business
in the fourth quarter for a net pretax charge of $24,000,000 and an
after-tax charge of $14,200,000 or $.29 per share. The charge of
$37,500,000 includes, in the second quarter, $17,100,000 at Ogden
Communications, Inc. (OCI), for the write-off of receivables of $10,300,000
and related costs recorded in connection with a telecommunications project
at OCI, as well as a loss on the disposal of inventory of $3,900,000 and
costs related to the curtailment of operations of $2,900,000; and in the
fourth quarter, $8,200,000 for costs, principally severance pay relating to
restructuring activities, and $12,200,000 representing the write-down of
deferred charges relating to a previously awarded waste-to-energy project
that is not expected to be completed; unusual waste-to-energy repair costs;
and an adjustment of inventory balances resulting from a physical
inventory. The $17,100,000 charge at OCI resulted from a review of the
activities of this unit, during which the Corporation concluded that
contracts and other documentation did not provide a basis for recovering
any of the accounts receivable related to the telecommunications project
and that the sale of inventory would not recover its full carrying value.
In addition, the Corporation decided to discontinue the business of OCI and
estimated the costs relating thereto.
OGDEN CORPORATION/35
<PAGE>
These amounts were charged to sales allowances ($10,300,000);
operating costs ($3,800,000); cost of goods sold ($6,000,000); and selling,
administrative, and general expenses ($3,900,000) in the accompanying
financial statements. The gain on the sale of the noncore business of
$13,500,000 was included as a reduction of operating expenses. In addition,
1995 operating expenses include $3,500,000 for the settlement of litigation
relating to the discontinuance of the fixed-site hazardous waste business.

At December 31, 1996, for Federal income tax purposes, the Corporation had
investment and energy tax credit carryforwards of approximately $24,081,000
and net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $144,954,000, which
will expire in 2004 through 2008. Deferred Federal income taxes have been
reduced by the tax effect of these amounts.
24. Leases
Total rental expense amounted to $91,351,000, $93,396,000, and $77,190,000
(net of sublease income of $1,427,000, $193,000, and $328,000) for 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively. Included in rental expense are amounts based
on contingent factors (principally sales) in excess of minimum rentals
amounting to $20,970,000, $21,676,000, and $15,181,000 for 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively. Principal leases are for leaseholds, sale and leaseback
arrangements on waste-to-energy facilities, trucks and automobiles,
airplane, and machinery and equipment. Some of these operating leases have
renewal options.
The following is a schedule (expressed in thousands of dollars), by
year, of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases
that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one
year as of December 31, 1996:
1997..................................................... $ 70,948
1998..................................................... 70,020
1999..................................................... 63,942
2000..................................................... 60,168
2001..................................................... 50,110
Later years.............................................. 310,218
--------
Total.................................................... $625,406
========
These future minimum rental payment obligations include $100,209,000
of future nonrecourse rental payments that relate to a waste-to-energy
facility, which are supported by third-party commitments to provide
sufficient service revenues to meet such obligations. Also included are
$75,068,000 of nonrecourse rental payments relating to a hydroelectric
power generating facility operated by a special-purpose subsidiary, which
are supported by contractual power purchase obligations of a third party
and which are expected to provide sufficient revenues to make the rent
payments. These nonrecourse rental payments (in thousands of dollars) are
due as follows:
1997..................................................... $ 19,197
1998..................................................... 19,492
1999..................................................... 20,797
2000..................................................... 21,402
2001..................................................... 21,402
Later years.............................................. 72,987

25. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income, reduced by
preferred stock dividend requirements, by the weighted average of the
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents, where
dilutive, outstanding during each year.
Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, were computed on
the assumption that all convertible debentures, convertible preferred
stock, and stock options converted or exercised during each year or
outstanding at the end of each year were converted at the beginning of each
year or at the date of issuance or grant, if dilutive. This computation
provided for the elimination of related convertible debenture interest and
preferred dividends.
The weighted-average number of shares used in computing earnings per
common share was as follows:
1996 1995 1994

26. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to
performance bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations
undertaken mainly pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain
waste-to-energy, entertainment, and other facilities. In the normal course
of business, they are involved in legal proceedings in which damages and
other remedies are sought. Management does not expect that these
contractual obligations, legal proceedings, or any other contingent
obligations incurred in the normal course of business will have a material
adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.
During 1994, a subsidiary of the Corporation entered into a 30-year
facility management contract pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds
to a customer, if necessary, to assist refinancing senior secured debt
incurred in connection with construction of the facility. Such refinancing
requirements are currently scheduled to amount to $75,000,000 at the
refinancing date, which is January 1, 2001. It is expected that these
arrangements will be renegotiated to provide for an Ogden obligation to
purchase such senior secured debt in the amount of $95,000,000 at the end
of March 2000 if the debt is not refinanced. In addition, at December 31,
1996, the Corporation has guaranteed indebtedness of $16,100,000 of an
affiliate and principal tenant of this customer, which is due in September
1997. Ogden continues as guarantor of surety bonds and letters of credit
totaling approximately $15,100,000 on behalf of International Terminal
Operating Co. Inc. (ITO) and has guaranteed borrowings of certain customers
amounting to approximately $26,700,000, as well as $10,500,000 of
borrowings of joint ventures in which Ogden has equity interests.
Management does not expect that these arrangements will have a material
adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.
At December 31, 1996, capital commitments amounted to $121,900,000,
which included $44,500,000 for normal replacement, modernization, and
growth in Services' ($35,100,000) and Energy's ($9,400,000) operations.
Also included was $74,600,000 for a coal-fired power project in The
Philippines reflecting $55,200,000 for a mandatory equity contribution,
$5,700,000 for contingent equity contributions, and $13,700,000 for a
standby letter of credit in support of debt service reserve requirements.
Funding for the mandatory equity contribution has been provided by a credit
facility, which must be repaid in December 2001. The Corporation also has a
$2,800,000 contingent equity contribution in an entertainment joint
venture. In addition, compliance with standards and guidelines under the
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 may require further capital expenditures
of $30,000,000 during the next four years.
27. Information Concerning Business Segments
Ogden classifies its business segments as Services and Energy (formerly
Projects). The Services segment in 1996 includes a wide variety of services
to the aviation, entertainment, and commercial real estate industries, as
well as a contract manufacturing business. All of these services are
provided to a wide range of customers. The Energy segment includes all of
Ogden's waste-to-energy activities, its independent power business, the
operation of two geothermal power stations and related well field
activities and a hydroelectric power station, its water and wastewater
project business, environmental consulting services, and its construction
activities--all of which activities are commonly managed by Energy.
In connection with Ogden's restructuring plan, the environmental
business of Services was transferred to the Energy segment as of January 1,
1996. Amounts for 1995 and 1994 have been restated to reflect this
transfer. In the first quarter of 1996, the environmental laboratory
business of Energy was sold. In addition, Services sold the operations of
W.J. Schafer Associates, Ogden Professional Services, and the Facility
Services group's operations outside of New York and discontinued its
asbestos abatement operations.
Revenues and income from continuing operations (expressed in thousands
of dollars) for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, were as

29. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated
fair-value amounts have been determined using available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of
fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that Ogden would realize in a current market
exchange.

The estimated fair value (expressed in thousands of dollars) of
financial instruments at December 31, 1996 and 1995, is summarized as

Off Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments:
Unrealized losses on interest rate swap agreements.. 1,413 6,839
Unrealized gains on interest rate swap agreements... 670 1,103
</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying value of these amounts is
a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of long-term
unbilled receivables is estimated by using a discount rate that
approximates the current rate for comparable notes. Marketable securities'
fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The fair
value of restricted funds held in trust is based on quoted market prices of
the investments held by the trustee. The fair value of noncurrent
receivables is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the
current rates at which similar loans would be made to such borrowers based
on the remaining maturities, consideration of credit risks, and other
business issues pertaining to such receivables. Other assets, consisting
primarily of insurance and escrow deposits and other miscellaneous
financial instruments used in the ordinary course of business, are valued
based on quoted market prices or other appropriate valuation techniques.
Fair values for short-term debt and long-term debt were determined
based on interest rates that are currently available to the Corporation for
issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities for debt
issues that are not traded or quoted on an exchange. With respect to
convertible subordinated debentures, fair values are based on quoted market
prices. The fair value of project debt is estimated based on quoted market
prices for the same or similar issues. Other borrowings and liabilities are
valued by discounting the future stream of payments using the incremental
borrowing rate of the Corporation. The fair value of the Corporation's
interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount that the Corporation
would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date
based on third-party quotations. The fair value of Ogden financial
guarantees provided on behalf of ITO and customers (see Note 26) would be
zero because Ogden receives no fees associated with such commitments.
The fair-value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly
affect the estimated fair-value amounts, such amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since
that date, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly
from the amounts presented herein.

Independent Auditors' Report
Deloitte & Touche LLP Two World Financial Center
New York, NY 10281
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ogden Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ogden
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related
statements of shareholders' equity, consolidated income and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the companies at December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 1995 the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 relating to
long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of. In 1994 the
Corporation changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefits to
conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112.

Report of Management
Ogden's management is responsible for the information and representations
contained in this annual report. Management believes that the financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles appropriate in the circumstances to reflect in all material respects
the substance of events and transactions that should be included and that the
other information in the annual report is consistent with those statements. In
preparing the financial statements, management makes informed judgments and
estimates of the expected effects of events and transactions currently being
accounted for.
In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial
statements, management depends on the Corporation's internal control structure.
This structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
designing control procedures, management recognizes that errors or
irregularities may nevertheless occur. Also, estimates and judgments are
required to assess and balance the relative cost and expected benefits of such
controls. Management believes that the Corporation's internal control structure
provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be
material to the financial statements are prevented and would be detected within
a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions.
The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role for these financial
statements through the Audit Committee, which is composed solely of
nonaffiliated directors. The Audit Committee, in this oversight role, meets
periodically with management to monitor their responsibilities. The Audit
Committee also meets periodically with the independent auditors and the internal
auditors, both of whom have free access to the Audit Committee without
management present.
The independent auditors elected by the shareholders express an opinion on
our financial statements. Their opinion is based on procedures they consider to
be sufficient to enable them to reach a conclusion as to the fairness of the
presentation of the financial statements.
