Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.



On October 8, 2021, Clean Harbors, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Company"), and substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries as
guarantors, entered into Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2, dated as of
October 8, 2021 ("Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2") to the Company's
existing Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (as previously amended and
further amended by Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2, the "Term Loan
Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent and
collateral agent (the "Agent"), and certain other financial institutions.
Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2 provides for a new class and series of Term
Loans (the "2021 Incremental Term Loans") under the Term Loan Agreement in the
aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The 2021 Incremental Term Loans are
in addition to the aggregate of $721.5 million of Initial Term Loans (the
"Initial Term Loans") which are now outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement
and which will mature on June 30, 2024. The 2021 Incremental Term Loans will
mature on October 8, 2028, and may be prepaid at any time without premium or
penalty other than customary breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar based
loans or if the Company engages in certain repricing transactions before May 9,
2022, in which event a 1.0% prepayment premium would be due. The Company's
obligations under the Term Loan Agreement with respect to both the Initial Term
Loans and the 2021 Incremental Term Loans are guaranteed by substantially all of
the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries and secured by liens on
substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors.

The 2021 Incremental Term Loans under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at
the Company's election, at either of the following rates: (a) the sum of the
Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 2.00%, or (b) the
sum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 1.00%, with
the Eurodollar Rate being subject to a floor of 0.00% and the Base Rate being
subject to a floor of 1.00%. The Company has also agreed to pay certain
customary fees under the Term Loan Agreement, including an annual administrative
fee to the Agent.

The Term Loan Agreement, as amended by Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2,
contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and
events of default, which the Company believes are usual and customary for an
agreement of this type. Such covenants restrict the Company's ability, among
other matters, to incur debt, create liens on the Company's assets, make
restricted payments or investments or enter into transactions with affiliates.

As is also true with respect to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the
Term Loan Agreement, the respective Agents under the Term Loan Agreement and the
Company's existing revolving credit agreement dated as of October 28, 2020, as
amended (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), under which Bank of America, N.A.
serves as Agent for the lenders thereunder, are party to an intercreditor
agreement dated as on June 30, 2017 (the "Intercreditor Agreement"), which was
accepted by the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries. Among other
matters, the Intercreditor Agreement would govern how the respective priorities
of the security interests held by those respective Agents would be administered
in the event of a default by the Company under either the Term Loan Agreement or
the Revolving Credit Agreement. Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent
under the Revolving Credit Agreement would have a first-priority lien in the
accounts receivable and proceeds thereof and a second-priority lien in
substantially all of the other assets (excluding real estate) of the Company and
its domestic restricted subsidiaries, whereas the Agent under the Term Loan
Agreement would have a second-priority lien in such accounts receivable and
proceeds thereof and a first-priority lien in such other assets (but including
certain real estate).

The above descriptions of the material terms and conditions of Incremental
Facility Amendment No. 2, the Term Loan Agreement, and the Intercreditor
Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of such documents which are Exhibits to this Report
or to the Company's Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on June 30, 2017, April 17, 2018, and July 20, 2018.

Certain lenders and agents that are parties to Incremental Facility Amendment
No. 2 and the Term Loan Agreement, or their respective affiliates, have in the
past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment
banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services for the
Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, either directly or through
affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive,
customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.



On October 8, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced proposed
acquisition of LJ Energy Services Intermediate Holding Corp. ("LJC") and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "HydroChemPSC") from LJ Energy Services Holdings,
LLC (the "Seller"), an affiliate of Littlejohn & Co., LLC. HydroChemPSC is a
leading U.S. provider of industrial cleaning, specialty maintenance, and
utilities services. The acquisition was completed in accordance with the Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of August 3, 2021 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement")
among the Company, the Seller, and LJC, which was filed as Exhibit 2.7 to the
Company's Report on Form 8-K filed on August 4, 2021.
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company paid an all-cash purchase price
for HydroChemPSC, as defined under the Stock Purchase Agreement, of
approximately $1.25 billion, subject to customary adjustments (e.g. working
capital,
                                       1

indebtedness). The Company financed such purchase through $983.0 million in net
proceeds from the Company's issuance on October 8, 2021 of $1.0 billion of 2021
Incremental Term Loans described in Item 1.01 of this Report with the remainder
funded through existing cash.

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

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.



  On October 8, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry

HydroChemPSC acquisition. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit
