CUSIP No. 236274106 13D/A Page 7 of 11 Pages ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Initial Investment On August 12, 1999 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement described in Item 4 below, SZI acquired from the Issuer: (i) 2,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Shares") and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant"). The aggregate amount of funds used in acquiring the Initial Shares and the Warrant was $9,000,000. All funds used in acquiring the Initial Shares and the Warrant were obtained from the working capital of SZI. In connection with the Issuer's acquisition of American Commercial Lines LLC ("ACL") and the recapitalization of ACL, the Issuer announced that it would conduct a rights offering to be issued pro rata to all holders of the Issuer's Common Stock to purchase newly-issued shares of Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $42 million ("ACL Rights Offering"). SZI agreed with the Issuer pursuant to a binding Term Sheet ("Term Sheet") to exercise the Warrant and purchase up to 4.0 million shares of Common Stock offered in the ACL Rights Offering which were not otherwise subscribed for. On May 29, 2002, the Issuer closed the ACL Rights Offering. In accordance with the terms of the ACL Rights Offering, SZI purchased 1,560,174 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share (the "ACL Rights Offering Shares"), and, pursuant to its obligations under the Term Sheet, exercised its outstanding Warrant to purchase 1,900,437 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.74 per share (the "Warrant Shares"). All funds used to purchase the ACL Rights Offering Shares and the Warrant Shares came from the working capital of SZI. Covanta Investment On December 2, 2003, the Issuer entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") among the Issuer, SZI, D.E. Shaw Laminar Portfolios, L.L.C. ("Laminar") and Third Avenue Value Fund Series ("Third Avenue"), pursuant to which each of SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue, severally and not jointly, provided the Issuer with a bridge loan in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 (the "Bridge Loan") and the Issuer issued (i) shares of its Common Stock to each of SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue, which represented consideration for SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue having provided the Bridge Loan, of which 1,280,213 shares were issued to SZI (SZI's shares referred to as the "Fee Shares"), and (ii) convertible notes, which were convertible into Common Stock in the event that sufficient shares were not purchased in the Covanta Rights Offering (defined in Item 4 below), in an aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 to SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue, including $10,000,000 to SZI (SZI's notes referred to as the "Note") and were issued in consideration for the Bridge Loan. The Issuer used the proceeds of the Bridge Loan to purchase the equity of Covanta Energy Corporation ("Covanta") pursuant to a reorganization plan under Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The investment by SZI described in this paragraph is referred to as the "Covanta Investment." The Issuer repaid the Bridge Loan in full on June 11, 2004. A portion of such repayment funds were used to acquire an additional 5,055,618 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.53 per share in connection with the Covanta Rights Offering (defined below). All funds used in making SZI's portion of the Bridge Loan were obtained from the working capital of SZI. Contribution to Fund 05-07 On January 24, 2005, SZI, a member of Fund 05-07, contributed 1,764,706 shares of Common Stock to Fund 05-07. ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction Initial Investment The acquisition of the Initial Shares and the Warrant was effected for the purpose of investing in the Issuer and to provide funds with which the Issuer may from time to time fund business acquisitions. The Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April 14, 1999 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Samstock, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SZI ("Samstock"). The Stock Purchase Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1, Assignment and Consent to Assignment of Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 7, 1999 by and among Samstock, the Issuer and SZI (the "Amendment") pursuant to which the rights and obligations of Samstock under the Purchase Agreement were assigned to and assumed by SZI. On the Closing Date, SZI acquired the Initial Shares and the Warrant pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. CUSIP No. 236274106 13D/A Page 8 of 11 Pages In connection with the acquisition of the Initial Shares and the Warrant, the Issuer granted to SZI certain registration rights, which rights are now memorialized in a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 8, 2002 and made by and between the Issuer and SZI (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, SZI (or its designee) may make up to two requests that the Issuer file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock held from time to time by SZI, subject to certain limitations. In addition, SZI has piggyback registration rights in connection with a public offering of Common Stock by the Issuer solely for cash. The purpose of the transactions contemplated under the Term Sheet was to assist the Issuer in satisfying its cash contribution obligations in connection with the acquisition and recapitalization of ACL. On May 29, 2002, the Issuer closed the ACL Rights Offering. Pursuant to its obligations under the Term Sheet and in accordance with the terms of the ACL Rights Offering, SZI purchased 1,560,174 shares of Common Stock under the ACL Rights Offering and exercised its outstanding Warrant to purchase 1,900,437 shares of Common Stock. Covanta Investment The acquisition of the Fee Shares and the Notes were effected for the purpose of investing in the Issuer and to provide funds with which the Issuer used to purchase Covanta. Following the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the plan of reorganization and after closing of the acquisition of Covanta, the Issuer subsequently initiated a pro rata rights offering to all stockholders (the "Covanta Rights Offering"). During the Covanta Rights Offering, each of Laminar, SZI and Third Avenue acquired additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Issuer used the proceeds of the Covanta Rights Offering to repay the convertible notes and for general working capital purposes. In connection with the Covanta Rights Offering and pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, SZI acquired an additional 5,055,618 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.53 per share, for total consideration of $7,735,095,54. In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Issuer granted SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue certain registration rights, which rights are memorialized in a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 2, 2003 and made by and among the Issuer, SZI, Laminar and Third Avenue. The Issuer filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective on August 24, 2004, registering the sale of 17,711,491 shares of Common Stock, including 2,240,372 shares beneficially owned by SZI. The summaries contained in this Schedule 13D of certain provisions of each of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Amendment, Term Sheet, Registration Rights Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement and the Covanta Registration Rights Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each respective agreement attached as Exhibits to Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference. Like all holders of 5% or more of Issuer's Common Stock, SZI will be subject to restrictions contained in Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, which limits stock transfers by 5% or greater shareholders and prohibits parties from acquiring 5% or more of Issuer's Common Stock without the Issuer's consent. Subject to the restrictions contained in Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, SZI intends to continue to review its investment in the Common Stock and, from time to time depending upon certain factors, including without limitation the financial performance of the Issuer, the availability and price of shares of Common Stock and other general market and investment conditions, may determine to acquire through open market purchases or otherwise additional shares of Common Stock, or may determine to sell through the open market or otherwise, in each case, subject to the limitations of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. EGI Option On December 11, 2001, the Issuer issued to EGI a Stock Option Agreement as consideration for certain services performed for the benefit of Issuer by EGI (the "EGI Option"). Pursuant to the terms of the EGI Option, EGI holds the right to purchase 155,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.37 per share of Common Stock. The right to purchase, which is fully vested and currently exercisable in full, expires on December 11, 2011.
